27 Nakshatras · श्रवण
Shravana Nakshatra
Shravana is the star of listening — the ear that hears the divine, and the three footprints of Vishnu that measure the universe. The Moon gives sensitivity, Capricorn gives climb. Shravana natives learn by hearing, speak rarely and well, and rise through quiet competence.
The four padas of Shravana
Each nakshatra divides into four padas of 3°20′. The pada refines the nakshatra's meaning through its navamsa sign and ruler.
| Pada | Navamsa sign | Pada ruler |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aries | Mars |
| 2 | Taurus | Venus |
| 3 | Gemini | Mercury |
| 4 | Cancer | Moon |
