Sun in Swati ~ Power through diplomacy

The Sun, planet of light and identity, is in the nakshatra of Swati from October 24th to November 6th 2025.

Swati brings a focus on fairness and balance, where your skills are to be an ambassador or go-between, and art, justice and forgiveness also come to the fore. You have tact and diplomacy, though you may need extra time to make up your mind. Swati’s Shakti, or special power, ‘To Scatter Like the Wind’, finds you throwing out creative ideas and seeing what grows – nothing ventured, nothing gained – though your scattergun tactics can end up being simply ‘hit and hope’. Try to make your efforts follow a proper purpose and plan.

This nakshatra’s rulership by Vayu, the Wind God, puts an emphasis on voice and communication, and you can create value and security from your speech. Up to November 2nd, the Sun is also well-supported by Mercury and Venus, which gives you even greater charm along with your smart communication skills. A bold business or creative proposal is well-received, and you can aim high in your demands and know that the right people will be sympathetic. A dispute may also blow up at work, but you see both sides of the issue and win friends by stepping in and making peace.

The Sun beams light on hidden issues, and discovering a talent or lost piece of information may rekindle a creative ambition, and you have the commercial instinct to profit from your knowledge. The Full Moon on November 5th brings this transit to a climax, and different strands of a complex project come together in harmony.
