Shravana is the twenty-second nakshatra, spanning 10 degrees to 23 degrees 20 minutes of Capricorn (Makara Rashi). Ruled by the Moon (Chandra) and presided over by Vishnu — the preserver god who maintains cosmic order — Shravana means 'to listen' and represents the power of attentive hearing, learning, and connecting through communication.
The three footprints symbol refers to Lord Vishnu's Vamana avatar, who covered the three worlds in three steps. This represents the nakshatra's expansive reach — Shravana natives have the ability to connect across vast distances and diverse domains. The ear symbol reinforces the primary quality of this nakshatra: the ability to listen deeply and learn from what is heard.
The Moon's rulership brings emotional intelligence and receptivity, while Vishnu's influence bestows organizational ability and the desire to preserve and maintain knowledge. This combination creates excellent teachers, counselors, media professionals, and anyone whose work involves transmitting knowledge and maintaining connections.
As a Deva gana nakshatra with movable quality, Shravana is favorable for learning, travel, communication, and beginning educational pursuits. Natives tend to be well-informed, well-connected, and respected for their knowledge. They excel in education, media, telecommunications, and any field requiring the ability to listen, learn, and communicate effectively.
