Nakshatra 22 of 27
Shravana
Shravana listens. It learns by hearing, connects people and ideas, and can be sensitive to what others say about it.
A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Yours is the one the Moon stood in when you were born, measured in the sidereal zodiac. Shravana spans 10°00′ Capricorn to 23°20′ Capricorn.
Its ruler, Moon, also opens the first of your life chapters (the Vimshottari dasha) if your Moon sits here.
Each nakshatra splits into four padas of 3°20′, 108 in all. Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, so the same mansion can lean four slightly different ways.
