Shravana nakshatra: meaning and traits

Shravana at a glance

Nature of Shravana

Shravana, "hearing", is in Capricorn. It is the star of listening and learning, and natives often absorb knowledge by hearing it and pass it on.

Strengths

Listening, memory, learning, communication, and the ability to connect people and ideas.

Growth edges

Sensitivity to what others say can cause hurt or over-concern about reputation. Shravana grows by listening to itself too.

Shravana in relationships

Attentive and caring. They value a partner who truly listens back.

In kundli matching, Shravana counts as Deva gana for the Gana koota, the monkey for the Yoni koota and Antya nadi for the Nadi koota. A partner whose Moon is in another Antya nadi nakshatra (Krittika, Rohini, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Revati) shares the same nadi, which scores 0 of 8 Nadi points unless a classical exception applies. How guna milan works.

Work and direction

Teaching, counselling, media, languages, music, research and advisory roles.

These are tendencies, not limits. Your lagna, the 10th house and your current dasha shape career far more than the birth nakshatra alone.

The four padas of Shravana

Each nakshatra divides into four padas of 3°20'. Each pada maps to a navamsa sign, which colours the nakshatra's expression:

• Pada 1: Aries navamsa
• Pada 2: Taurus navamsa
• Pada 3: Gemini navamsa
• Pada 4: Cancer navamsa

Shravana and the dasha cycle

With the Moon in Shravana, the Vimshottari dasha begins with the Moon. The Moon also rules Rohini and Hasta, so these three nakshatras share a dasha starting point and a family resemblance. How dashas work.
