About this pada

Pada 3 of Swati runs from Tula 13°20′ to Tula 16°40′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Tula; its navamsa is Kumbha, ruled by Saturn. The nakshatra's lord is Rahu, so a birth in this pada begins with the Rahu mahadasha. In the avakahada chakra (tradition), the name syllable of this pada is 'रो' (Ro).

What tradition holds

With the wind as its deity, astrology associates Swati with movement, freedom and openness. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: original thinking, fairness, loyalty in friendship, and a wish to do something for society. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
