What the Moon in Swati favors
Swati is the sapling in the wind — the Moon here favors adaptability, trade, movement, independent operation. Vayu, the wind, is the deity; flexibility is the native mode. Favorable for: travel, negotiation, brokering deals, learning new skills, moving house, starting something that requires you to work alone. Less favorable for: fixed plans or commitments that demand rigidity. If a path has been calling you away from convention, Swati makes the first step lighter. Autonomy is the gift here — use it.
