The listener. Viṣṇu’s star of learning, connection and reputation — wise, receptive, a keeper of knowledge and traditions, rising through what it hears and preserves.
01What Shravana shapes
Every nakṣatra colours the mind (the Moon) with its deity’s signature. Under Viṣṇu and the discipline of Moon, Shravana leans toward the qualities above: strongest where the Moon is well-placed and dignified, strained where it is afflicted. The ear / three footprints is the key image to hold: it is what this star is always, quietly, doing.
None of this is a verdict. It is the classical tendency of a birth star — a lens, read against the whole chart.
02Compatibility signature
For kundli matching (Guṇa Milan), Shravana carries the Deva gaṇa (temperament), Antya nāḍī (constitution) and the Monkey yoni (instinctive nature). Classically, partners are matched for gaṇa harmony and, most importantly, different nāḍī — same-nāḍī pairings score zero on that koota and are traditionally avoided.

03Common questions
Which planet rules Shravana nakṣatra?
Shravana is ruled by Moon in the Vimśottarī system — so a Shravana-born Moon begins life in the Moon mahādaśā. Its presiding deity is Viṣṇu.
What is the gaṇa and nāḍī of Shravana?
Shravana is Deva gaṇa, Antya nāḍī, with the Monkey yoni. These three decide much of kundli-matching (Guṇa Milan) — same nāḍī between partners is classically avoided.
What are Shravana natives like?
The listener. Viṣṇu’s star of learning, connection and reputation — wise, receptive, a keeper of knowledge and traditions, rising through what it hears and preserves. Exact expression depends on the pada, the Moon’s dignity, and the whole chart — a computed reading resolves it.
How do I find my nakṣatra?
Your birth Moon’s exact position sets your nakṣatra and pada. Karma Jyotiṣa computes it free from your birth date, time and place.
