27 REVATI
Revati extends from 346° 40' to 360° 00' of the sign of Pisces ruled by
Jupiter, where Venus is exalted. The asterism is governed by Mercury.
Mythologically, Saturn is born under this asterism. Revati consists of thirtytwo
stars. The symbol of the fish is assigned to it. The Vedic deity presiding
over it is Pushan, a name given to the Sun for measuring the sky. Its basic
attribute is Sattvic on all three levels. Its primary motivation is Moksha or
liberation.
Revati stands for the great womb in which the Sun dwells in dormancy until
the impulse for the next creative cycle arises. Here matter merges in Pure
Essence, into the Spirit where God's messenger to the human world,
Mercury, dominates. It is the Great Deluge, where the seed for future
creation incubates until the next cosmic dawn. The planets associated with
different aspects of creation still have an important role to play during this
cosmic quietude. The creation becomes possible when the Moon pours
Soma, the life sustaining energy. There are many behind-the-scenes
activities for souls at their journey's end and many activities to prepare them
for the next act of the drama of creation.
Revati is the wife of Balarama, elder brother of Lord Krishna. As the
feminine counterpart of Lord Krishna's precursor, Revati, even as the last
lunar mansion, has the important task of providing necessary assistance to
the forces which operate to herald a new beginning, a fresh Divine Mission.
Balarama was miraculously transferred from the womb of Devaki, where he
was conceived, to the womb of Rohini (see chapter). This was done in order
to save him from the wrath of the demon king Kamsa. Born from the womb
of Rohini, the fourth asterism, he became the helper of Lord Krishna. Revati
being the counterpart of this mighty power, who was transferred from one
womb to another, can be recognized as the mysterious preservative and
protective principle in Nature. It enables the fructification of nature's secret
energies. Revati acts in the realm where one cycle of evolution enters into
completion and rests until the next beginning of the next. In everyday life
this asterism portends the involvement of an individual in earthly things and
relationships with possibilities for further evolution and materialization.
