Shravana

Shravana is the ear — the nakshatra of deep listening and sacred learning. Ruled by the Moon and energised by Vishnu, the preserver, Shravana has a gift for receiving and transmitting knowledge. Shravana natives are natural teachers and learners. They listen deeply, preserve wisdom, and guide others with patience. The shadow is relying too heavily on external authority — the ear must also listen within. Your own inner teacher is the final one.
