Swati nakshatra is represented in the night sky by the single star of Arcturus (Alpha-Bootis). This is the main star in the constellation of Bottis. In the astrology chart, Swati resides entirely in the sign Libra. Swati translates as "Independent one." The symbol of this nakshatra is a young plant blowing in the wind, which represents flexibility and agility as well as restlessness.
