Gand Mool nakshatra. Revati is one of the six Gand Mool nakshatras; many families keep a Mool shanti for a birth in any of its padas, though the junction pada is read as the stronger.

Gand Mool are the six nakshatras on the seams where a water sign gives way to a fire sign: Ashwini, Magha and Mula, ruled by Ketu, and Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati, ruled by Budh. The Mool shanti is traditionally done on the 27th day after birth, when the Moon returns to the birth nakshatra.

What this pada adds

its navamsa and its aim

Revati in Brihat Jataka (16.14) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Revati is well formed in body, liked by everyone, deeply learned and wealthy, and never covets what belongs to others. (Chapter 16 reads several nakshatras in each verse, one after another.) The text reads the nakshatra as a whole; the pada refines it through its navamsa, below.

Revati gives the Moon its nature through Budh; pada 1 sends it into a Sagittarius navamsa, ruled by Guru. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Guru colours what Revati gives.

By natural friendship Guru counts Budh an enemy, and Budh counts Guru neutral, so the two pull against each other and the pada asks for balance.

The pada tradition reads each quarter by its navamsa’s element: a fire navamsa makes this a Dharma pada, turned towards right conduct, duty and purpose.
