Swati Nakshatra — Lord, Deity, Symbol & Marriage Matching

Swati occupies Libra 6°40' – 20°, which places it in Tula (Libra). Swati's symbol is a shoot bending without breaking, and the tradition reads it as needing a partner who allows independence rather than curbing it.

Swati is Deva gana and Antya nadi. Nadi is the most heavily weighted of the eight kootas, and identical nadi between two horoscopes is read as nadi dosha — which is why the 8 other Antya nadi stars are the ones families check against first.

On gana and nadi together, Swati matches 13 of the remaining 26 stars: Ashwini, Bharani, Mrigashira, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Purva Phalguni, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Anuradha, Purva Ashadha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada. Scored across gana, nadi, yoni and graha maitri, its strongest pairing is Ardra at 21 of 23.

This page records what traditional kundli matching holds about this star, for families filling in the nakshatra field of a biodata. It is a guide to the convention, not a prediction — and no single koota decides a match on its own. Where a family takes matching seriously, an astrologer reads the full horoscope.
