About Shravana
Shravana means "hearing" — this is the nakshatra of the listener, of deep attunement to what is being communicated on all levels. Presided over by Vishnu, the preserver of cosmic order, and ruled by the Moon, Shravana carries the intelligence of the ear rather than the eye: the capacity to perceive what is being communicated beyond words, to listen deeply enough to understand what others cannot yet articulate. Those born here are often natural connectors, mediators, and transmitters of knowledge.
Core Strengths
Shadow Side
- Difficulty setting limits with those who rely on their listening capacity
- Can absorb others' difficulties as their own
- Gossip or the misuse of information received in confidence
- Over-attachment to tradition or established order
“I listen deeply and transmit what I hear with care and integrity.”
