Nakshatra in its Rashi Environment
This nakshatra concludes in Meena (Pisces). The sign lord is Jupiter and the nakshatra lord is Mercury. Here Mercury (logic) attains debilitation in Pisces.
Jupiter is a neutral planet to Mercury, while Mercury is an enemy to Jupiter. Because of this contradiction they set worldly logic aside and live by intuition and spiritual faith.
Pisces is like an infinite ocean. Here Mercury's intellect rises to a spiritual level. That is why Revati natives excel as poets and artists.
