Revati, 'the wealthy one', closes the zodiac with safe passage: nourishment for all beings, protection of travelers, and the sweetness of things brought to completion. These natives are guides and foster-parents by nature — of people, animals, projects — and their prosperity flows from the same source as their kindness. The zodiac's final degrees touch the gandanta threshold into Ashvini: an ending that is, by design, a beginning.
