Shravana Nakshatra

🧠 Personality & Nature

Shravana is listening. The symbol is the ear, the deity is Vishnu who takes three strides across the universe, and the Nakshatra governs learning received through hearing — the oral tradition, the teaching passed down. Natives are attentive, well-informed and often the best-connected person in their circle, because they listen and remember. They accumulate knowledge and reputation steadily. The Moon in Capricorn gives an emotionally reserved, socially careful character. The shadow is gossip and an over-dependence on what others say — Shravana can absorb opinions without testing them.

💼 Career & Profession

Teaching and academia, media and broadcasting, language and translation, music, counselling, public relations, research, religious scholarship, and the law. Shravana is strong in any field where the professional asset is knowing things and knowing people.

❤️ Relationships & Marriage

Attentive and understanding partners — they actually listen, which is rarer than it should be. Shravana natives are loyal and family-oriented, with Capricorn's seriousness about obligation. The failing is oversensitivity to what others say about the relationship and a tendency to absorb criticism deeply.

🏥 Health

Ear problems specifically — infections, tinnitus, hearing loss — along with skin conditions and, through Capricorn, the knees and joints. Shravana natives are sensitive to noise and benefit from quiet environments more than most.

🔮 Remedies

Moon remedies apply: offer water on Mondays and wear silver. Vishnu worship — particularly the Vishnu Sahasranama, which is heard rather than read — is the practice specific to this Nakshatra.

In the Kalapurusha scheme Shravana governs ears, which is where this Nakshatra's afflictions most often show physically.
