Shravana Nakshatra
Makara

Overview
Personality & Nature
Shravana is the twenty-second Nakshatra, ruled by the Moon and presided over by Lord Vishnu — the preserver and sustainer of the cosmic order. Its symbol is the ear and three footprints, representing the power of listening, learning, and the three steps of Vishnu (Trivikrama) that measured all three worlds. Shravana natives are extraordinary listeners and learners — they absorb knowledge and experience with unusual depth and retain everything they encounter.Shravana falls entirely in Capricorn, combining the Moon's receptivity and emotional intelligence with Saturn's discipline and structure. Natives are wise, humane, and deeply compassionate. They are gifted teachers, counsellors, and advisors who help others through the power of genuine understanding. Vishnu's preservation energy gives Shravana a strong instinct for maintaining what is good and worthy. The challenge is a tendency toward rumination — the same deep listening that makes them wise can become an inability to stop processing, leading to overthinking and anxiety.Want to understand how Shravana expresses itself in your specific birth chart?
