Gifts of Gold to the Deity or to the Vaishnavas and brahmanas.
Whatever activity we begin at a particular moment retains the qualities of relationship with the surroundings of that place and moment of time. Each moment possesses its own special potency; hence, the importance of starting our enterprises at an auspicious and favourable moment to ensure a more fruitful and successful outcome to our undertakings. Actually, the beginning of any important enterprise has its own birth chart, and in this chart one can see the life of that enterprise.
When electing favourable moments for beginning our activities, it is important to place the Moon in a favourable constellation, sympathetic towards the activity we wish to enact. To know which constellations are especially favourable to you, it is necessary to first know your Janma Tara or Birth Constellation. This is easily derived from your birth chart made according to the Sidereal Zodiac. All calculations in Vedic astrology are made according to this zodiac.

REVATI is translated as "the wealthy." It is a deva
or godly star, soft in nature and is ruled by the demigod Pusha.
Pusha carries the ideas of protecting or nourishing, as a shepherd keeps
his flock. Revati's animal symbol is the elephant, which indicates
material prosperity.
When this star is on the ascendant, the person has good longevity, is attractive
in appearance and comes under the sway of the opposite sex; is valiant,
rich, proud, self-respecting, and sometimes jealous. Clean and of
strong body, such person is sociable and makes a good teacher. When
the Moon tenants this star, we get a clean, courageous, well-liked person
of a well-formed body.
Revati rules over aquatic products as well as fruits, flowers, salt, gems, conchshells, pearls, lotus flowers, perfumes, flowers, traders and sailors.
