Sun in Swati ~ Power through diplomacy

The Sun, the planet of light and identity, is in the nakshatra of Swati from October 23rd to November 6th, 2024.

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 may take 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 ‘hit and hope’. Try to make your efforts follow a proper purpose and plan.

The Sun is under the gaze of impulsive Mars through this whole transit, which gives you a harder edge and a more dynamic quality. You have a sense of urgency about your business, but again, may feel pulled in more than one direction and find it hard to concentrate on one thing. This nakshatra’s rulership by Vayu, the Wind God, puts an emphasis on voice and communication, and the simultaneous influence of Mercury up to October 29th sees you creating value and security from your speech.

A dispute may blow up at work, but you see both sides of the issue and can step in to make peace. The Sunbeams 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.
