Nakshatra 22 of 27 · श्रवण नक्षत्र
Shravana Nakshatra
Shravana — “hearing” — is the middle of Capricorn, ruled by the Moon under Vishnu. Its symbol is the ear: listening, learning, the transmission of knowledge by word. A Shravana Moon is receptive, studious, well-connected and wise in counsel, drawn to teaching, languages, media and anything carried by sound. Natives learn by listening and are often the ones others confide in. The Moon dasha it begins in lasts ten years.

The four padas of Shravana
Each nakshatra is divided into four padas of 3°20′. The pada sets the navamsa (D9) sign of a Moon placed there and the traditional first syllable of a name.
Shravana in a birth chart
- •Listening and learning
- •Connection and counsel
- •Love of knowledge and languages
- •Over-sensitivity to what is said
These are the classical themes of a Moon in Shravana. How they play out depends on the rest of the chart — the Moon's house, its lord Moon's own placement, and the dasha running now. The AI astrologer reads all of that together.

FAQ
Shravana nakshatra — common questions
What is Shravana nakshatra?
Shravana (श्रवण) is the 22nd of the 27 nakshatras, spanning 280°00′–293°20′ of the sidereal zodiac (10°00′ to 23°20′ Capricorn). Its Vimshottari lord is Moon, its deity Vishnu, the preserver, its symbol the ear, or three footprints. It belongs to the Deva gana and the Antya nadi, with the monkey yoni.
Which rashi is Shravana in?
Entirely in Capricorn: all four padas of Shravana fall in that sign, so anyone born with the Moon in Shravana has Capricorn as their Moon sign.
What is the first dasha for someone born in Shravana?
Moon mahadasha, which lasts 10 years in full. How much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Shravana the Moon had travelled — the balance of dasha — so two people born under Shravana can have very different first chapters. The dasha calculator computes yours to the day.
What are the naming letters for Shravana?
By pada: pada 1 — Ju, pada 2 — Je, pada 3 — Jo, pada 4 — Gha. Traditional naming (namakarana) picks a first syllable from the pada the Moon occupied at birth.
Is today good for someone born in Shravana?
That is tara bala: count today's nakshatra from Shravana and fold into nine. Sampat, Kshema, Sadhaka, Mitra and Ati Mitra are favourable; Vipat, Pratyari and Vadha are not; Janma is neutral. The card on this page computes it from the ephemeris each day.
