Characteristics of Shravana Nakshatra in Astrology
The yoni animal of the Shravana Nakshatra is the #female #monkey.
The one thing known about monkeys from cartoons and Tarzan movies is that they swing from one branch to the other as a way of travelling.
They swing from one branch to the other for travelling.
Monkeys are extremely clever when it comes to stealing food and other things they can get their hands on.
In India, some thugs train monkeys to steal wallets and purses from people.
The Capuchin monkeys are extremely smart as they are able to make tools and use sign languages.
They are also very much into hygiene and will clean each other for bugs, lice and other critters in their fur, which allows them to socialize.
They enjoy living high on tree branches and prefer to be as high as possible.
Like natives of Purva Ashada Nakshatra, the Shravana natives will shift from one job to another countless times in their life before they settle into something meaningful and long-lasting.
Monkeys are able to leap from one branch to another, which tells us these natives will take big leaps in their lives in terms of relocation.
They are extremely clever and are able to learn and adapt very quickly.
They are very good at mimicry as monkeys are very apt at it.
The symbol of this Nakshatra is three footsteps, ear, and trident.
The symbol of the ear represents listening.
Shravana natives must listen to everything carefully, or they can miss some of the most important information, advice, and wisdom in their life.
The ear also shows the ability to listen to divine sounds beyond the scope of the normal five body senses.
The deity of the Shravana Nakshatra is the Vamana avatar of Lord Vishnu and is associated with the planet Jupiter.
Shravana is also considered to be the birth star of Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge.
Saraswati is the Goddess that blesses one with Vac siddhi, or the power of truth in one’s words.
Vamana was born to mother Aditi to bring down the desire of Mahabali, the demon king, to possess the world.
He was about to do a yagna that would let him conquer the world.
Lord Vishnu, in the form of Vamana, a dwarf brahmin child, approached king Mahabali with a wooden umbrella and asked for 3 steps of land.
His guru, Shukracharya, warned him that it was Vishnu in disguised as a dwarf brahmin.
However, Mahabali said that he couldn’t deny the request of a brahmin.
Shukracharya tried to stop him by blocking the water to come out of the kamandalu (water pot held in one’s hand) by blocking the pipe.
Vamana poked a hole in the pipe using a straw made of sharply pointed kusha grass.
Shukracharya injured his one eye and was blinded by this act.
Eventually, water flowed, and it was sprinkled by Mahabali granting his request.
Vamana immediately expanded into a giant, and with his first 2 steps, he covered the three worlds of Heaven, Earth and Patala Loka.
Vamana asked Mahabali for a piece of land for his 3rd step.
Mahabali realised the greatness of Vishnu and offered his own head as a place to place his 3rd step.
Vishnu was pleased with Mahabali’s act and blessed him to be Indra in the next manvantara and granted him the wish to come back to see his people once in a year, which is the festival of Onam, celebrated in Kerala.
Note the festival of Onam is celebrated on the day when Sun is in the Leo sign, and the Moon is transiting the Shravana Nakshatra.
From the mythology, it can be seen that Shravana natives will secretly take over a high-ranking spot by throwing the individual off of their position, similar to what Vamana did to Mahabali.
Shravana natives take leaps and bounds in far away or foreign places because Vamana grew so big that he conquered three different lokas.
A president or prime minister with such qualities will actually fight for the people and the established government.
If they are at their job or business, they will deal with three different project aspects of their work.
Vamana took three steps; hence for Shravana natives, three steps like three steps to promotion, three attempts to pass an exam, moving to three different countries, states or cities in their lifetime are prominently seen.
Shukracharya advised the king not to give the donation of 3 steps to Vamana, and when he tried to stop, he got his eye injured.
This aspect shows that either the native’s mentor or spouse (Venus in astrology) will give advice several times but fail to react until it’s too late or when something has gone wrong.
Shravana natives must listen to their spouse’s advice when it involves land, property, real estate, etc.
Shravana is coherent with the Dhanishta Nakshatra in making a person a great vocalist.
The tricky, sweet, and gentle vocal theme of Vamana makes Shravana natives natural magicians and hypnotists.
A vocalist and a singer usually have the same effect on the listener; although Dhanishtha is more about instrumental skills, they fall in the same category.
Attributes of Shravana Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread after 10’00” degree up to 23’20” in Capricorn (Makar).
The Lord is Saturn (Shani). It is the birth star of Saraswati.
From this is derived light-rays, lion, beasts, horse, etc.
From Shravana Nakshatra, the art of hearing, education and audible education is derived.
As the birth star of Saraswati, it signifies and bestows scholarship, educational proficiency, respect for the shastras, knowledge, etc.
The eminent natives in education and knowledge, the ones who are listened to by others with respect, are influenced by this star. It also causes the disease of the urinatory channel.

Listen before making any judgements, giving replies or making a decision.
They will only attract situations and opportunities where if they miss listening, they will miss the whole boat.
The other remedy is to walk, especially barefoot, on grass. Walking on grass will make these natives’ instinctive feelings stronger, along with their intelligence.

Remedies for Shravana Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology
Quality of Shravana Nakshatra
Shravana is a Chara Nakshatra, which means when something requires movement, this Nakshatra would work best like moving from one house to the other, purchasing land, sending something out for delivery, shifting office, arranging or buying furniture in your home.
Caste of Shravana Nakshatra
Shravana being an outcaste Nakshatra, is perhaps the calmest and quietest of all the outcaste Nakshatras.
They mostly have to go far away from their birthplace, where language, culture, religion and food are completely different.
They will feel like they are an outcaste in the place or region where they live.
Shravana natives have an outcaste look on their life path as they strongly incline towards music, psychology, and want to understand and relate to the Earth.
They are not engineers and IT professionals. They are with unwashed hair, long beard and hippy type geologist and astronomers, in short, different than the usual crowd.
Sound of Shravana Nakshatra
Ju- pada 1, Jay- pada 2, Jo- pada 3, Gha- pada 4 while in some text I have found Khee- pada 1, Khoo- pada 2, Khey- pada 3, Kho- pada 4.
Sound has an extremely important role to play with Nakshatra.
Everything we do, say, buy, wear, drive has a name attached to it known as brand.
One must look at their chart with an accurate time of birth and see where the Nakshatra of Shravana is in their chart, which means where is the sign of Capricorn.
If someone is with a Capricorn ascendant, then the 1st house would be Capricorn; when using such brand or name that starts with such sounds would be beneficial for fame, health, vitality and overall success occurs for the individual.
