Shravana Nakshatra · Lord Moon · Capricorn · Astrovene
Shravana lies in the middle of Capricorn, from two hundred and eighty degrees to two hundred and ninety-three degrees twenty minutes. The Moon lords it and Vishnu presides. Its symbol is an ear, sometimes given as the three strides Vishnu is said to have taken, and the name means hearing.
The Moon lords the nakshatra while the nakshatra sits in Saturn's Capricorn, and that pairing sets its character. The Moon receives; Capricorn gives what is received a shape and an order. Vishnu as preserver fits the same reading, the point is not only taking something in but keeping it intact long enough to hand on.
The ear is a plain symbol and is meant to be. An eye goes out looking; an ear accepts what arrives. Learning by being told, transmission from teacher to student, and reputation, which also travels from ear to ear, are the associations.
All four padas fall in Capricorn, so the outer sign never changes while the navamsa moves through Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer. A fixed container with a shifting interior is the structural note here. The first quarter under an Aries navamsa is the most forward; the fourth under Cancer returns to the sign the lord of the nakshatra owns.
The Moon's share of the Vimshottari cycle is ten years out of the hundred and twenty. A Shravana birth begins inside a Moon mahadasha and moves on into Mars's seven, so the cycle opens with two short periods running back to back. That is a statement about the sequence, not about a person.
Shravana belongs to the deva gana. Its lord, deity and gana are the same everywhere the subject is taught. The monkey yoni, the bird and the tree vary between schools and are given here as attributions.
