Shravana Nakshatra: the art of listening
Shravana is the twenty-second nakshatra, from 10deg00 to 23deg20 of Capricorn. Its symbol is an ear, and its deity is Vishnu, the preserver who takes three great strides across the universe. The name means hearing or listening. Shravana is the star of knowledge gained through attentive listening — wisdom that comes from truly hearing the world.
Personality and traits
With the Moon in Shravana you are thoughtful, knowledgeable and an exceptional listener. People confide in you because you genuinely pay attention. You value learning, tradition and good counsel, and you have a calm, trustworthy presence. The shadow is over-sensitivity to gossip or criticism — what you hear can affect you more than it should.
Career and strengths
Shravana natives excel in fields built on knowledge, communication and counsel: teaching, writing and media, languages, music, counselling, law and advisory roles. Ruled by the Moon, you blend learning with empathy. To see how this listening star shapes your chart, find your nakshatra and read a full free Kundli.
Love and compatibility
In love you are attentive, loyal and emotionally present — you listen, and your partner feels heard. Shravana pairs well with Uttara Ashadha and Dhanishtha, and connects with Rohini and Hasta. A caring Kundli matching shows where deep understanding can grow.
The influence of the Moon
The Moon rules Shravana, giving its love of knowledge a sensitive, intuitive and nurturing heart. It makes you empathetic and emotionally perceptive. At its best, the lunar grace here turns careful listening into wisdom and genuine connection.
