Shravana

Shravana is the 22nd of the 27 nakshatras of Indian astrology. Degrees: 10°00′–23°20′ Capricorn. Ruling planet: the Moon. Deity: Vishnu. Symbol: an ear, three footprints.

Personality

Listening and knowledge. Shravana is associated with learning through the spoken word: its people know how to listen, remember, and pass knowledge on.

Strength: erudition and the ability to learn. Weakness: dependence on other people's opinions and a tendency to gossip.

Ruling Planet and Deity

The ruling planet, the Moon, determines through which period of life the nakshatra's theme unfolds: in the dasha system, it is the ruler of the Moon's nakshatra at birth that determines which period a person's life begins with.

The nakshatra’s deity is Vishnu. In the tradition, he reveals the nakshatra’s meaning more deeply than a description of character does: he is invoked in rituals connected with this part of the sky.

Each nakshatra is divided into four "padas" of 3°20′, and in Jyotish the pada refines the description. Determining the pada precisely requires the time and place of birth.

Suitable Occupations

Tradition associates the Shravana nakshatra with the following fields: teaching, linguistics, music, consulting, the media.

This is not career advice but a description of traditional correspondences. Your nakshatra is determined by the Moon's position, so you need your date, time, and place of birth.

Compatibility

In Kundali Milan, the Indian comparison of charts before marriage, the Moon's nakshatra determines most of the 36 compatibility points: Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi are calculated from it, while Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot come from the Moon sign.

Separately, the tradition takes "Nadi Dosha" into account: if both partners' nakshatras share the same nadi, the marriage is considered unfavorable. This is one of the most controversial parts of the system, and it is the reason perfectly good matches fall apart in India.
