Looking up into the night sky, #Shravana #nakshatra consists of the #stars Altair, Alshain and Tarazed. These three stars form the head of #Aquila, the #Eagle. The word Shravana translates as " #hearing" and the #symbol of this #star is the #ear. This is a nakshatra of listening and learning. Just as #ancient cultures passed on knowledge through oral traditions, so also people born under Shravana nakshatra have a great ability to obtain knowledge through listening. The media and communication field are also associated with this nakshatra. Those born under Shravana constantly seek wisdom and often travel to foreign countries to further their education. These people have great focus for obtaining goals and complete all the projects they begin.

Sacred Energy Vortex
#Thiruppaarkadal #Sri #Alarmel #Mangai #Samedha Sri #Prasanna #Venkatesa #Perumal #Temple

The sacred vortex associated with the energy of Shravana nakshatra is located in the village of Thiruppaarkadal in Tamil Nadu, India. The name Thiruppaarkadal represents the ambrosia and nectar that comes from the milky ocean. This name exudes the energy of Lord Vishnu, who is the ruler of Shravana. Lord #Vishnu manifested as Sri Prasanna Venkatesa Perumal at this temple, where he is accompanied by his consort, Sri Alarmel Mangai.

This deity is rare as it embodies aspects of both Lord Vishnu and Lord #Shiva. A pooja for a pot-like vessel containing nectar is conducted everyday at Thiruppaarkadal. The face of the vessel represents Lord Vishnu while the neck of the vessel is Lord Shiva. This offering assists those people who have lost their faith in the divine.

Those born under Shravana nakshatra, as well as those who are born under other stars, should worship here frequently. One should perform archana and abhishekham with milk, honey, ghee and sugar. This will bring blessings to manifest one’s desires. Those receiving the darshan of Sri Prasanna Venkatessa Perumal at Thiruppaarkadal will receive the bountiful energy from all of the incarnations of Lord Vishnu. It is also favorable to receive darshan on the third moon phase in order to assist the education of one’s children.

People who suffer from deafness or hearing problems should play instruments on Shravana day at Thiruppaarkadal Temple. Worshipping the energy of the sacred sounds enhances a person’s hearing capacity through Divine Grace. This temple is also an auspicious place for doctors who specialize in Otolaryngology (ears, nose and throat) to worship.

Shravana nakshatra natives, your #incense is made with the #herb #SwallowWort as prescribed by the Vedas.

Burning one of these pillars is like performing a mini fire ritual for that particular star formation. For your specific Birthstar, you will be able to connect inwardly to your planet of energetic origin and gain support with the positive aspects that are you.

Burning the other Nakshatra pillars on that specific Nakshatra day will tune you in with the favorable activities with that star’s energy for the day. It is recommended to at least burn your own personal Nakshatra pillar daily to stay connected to your essence. It is advantageous to burn the days Nakshatra pillar as well.

#Shravana #Nakshatra is the 22nd of 27 #nakshatras. If you were born when the #moon was between 10:00-23:20 degrees #Capricorn
Sanskrit Name: श्रावण (Shravana) comes from the #Sanskrit word श्राव (hearing). One meaning of Shravana is “the listener,” indicating perceptivity, intelligence, and an aptitude for learning.

Planetary Ruler: The #Moon. In #Vedic theology the moon is considered a manifestation of the mind of God. It is associated with creativity, the mind, and the emotions. The moon is especially significant in Vedic astrology, where a person’s sign is considered their moon sign.

Nakshatra Group: Godly. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Shravana is a godly nakshatra. People in this group are generally good-natured and fortunate in life. However, they may struggle with pride and a sense of entitlement.

Zodiac Sign: Capricorn. Capricorns are peculiar and powerful. They are intelligent, thoughtful, and careful in making decisions.

Deity: #Vishnu. In Vedic theology, Vishnu is the Supreme Lord, God of gods, creator of the universe and the Supersoul in the heart of every living being. All other gods are expansions of Vishnu.

Symbol: An ear. This represents the learning, wisdom, knowledge, and scholarship.

Power: To #connect and solidify. Persons born under the star of Shravana are able to connect disparate subject matters to formulate a comprehensive understanding of the world around them. This makes them excellent teachers and guides.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Shravana are Khee (खी), Khu (खू), Khe (खे), and Kho (खो). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Persons born under the star of Shravana are thoughtful and pious souls. They have all the qualities of a gentleman — patience, forbearance, tolerance, and wisdom. Their noble nature wins them many friends and admirers.

Shravana-natives are clever and hard-working. They know where to exert their efforts so as to obtain the maximum result. Because they don’t like wasting their time or energy, they thoroughly plan projects in advance. This strength allows them to achieve great things even without putting in as much work as their peers. In Vedic culture, this is known as “lazy intelligence,” or working smartly and efficiently, in a way that gets the job done right the first time.

You are devout, faithful, and a seeker of truth. Your intuition leads you forward in life, even when your path takes you away from the mainstream. You hold yourself to the highest of standards, and you constantly strive for excellence. With the help of a bona fide guru, you can achieve spiritual perfection in this very lifetime.

Shravana Careers
Persons born in Shravana can do well in careers in education, counseling, or non-profit work.

Some ideal professions include:

Scholar, researcher, professor, or teacher
Priest, ascetic, or religious worker
Public speaker, counselor, or life coach
Doctor, healer, or charity worker
Weaknesses
Shravana-natives powerful intellect, when not tempered by sufficient humility, can lead them to develop extreme opinions. They can be rigid and narrow-minded in their views, believe that they alone possess the “right” perspective on an issue. This can cause them to make enemies with persons who hold opposing views.

As a consequence of their idealistic nature, those born in Shravana may have unrealistic expectations for their personal career. They may struggle to find work that is both financially sustaining and fulfilling on a moral, intellectual, or spiritual level. As a result, they may not be very well-off in life, and may experience recurring periods of poverty. This can in turn lead to a pessimistic attitude toward society in general, which can further augment their feelings of pride and self-righteousness. It is important to practice gratitude and recognize the many gifts you have received in life. Also, you must learn to see the good in others, in spite of any shortcomings they may have. This will help you remain positive, friendly, and compassionate even when your circumstances become difficult.

You may become jealous of others’ success and you have a tendency to gossip. You are overly sensitive to criticism and rude remarks. However, your good qualities far outweigh your weaknesses, and by cultivating your higher nature you can live a deeply fulfilling life.

Recommended: Learn more about science of the Vedas and how Vedic knowledge can help you elevate your consciousness and enhance your life.

Other Personality Traits
You can easily succeed in any endeavor. You are a “jack of all trades” type and can do well in any endeavor you put your heart and mind into.

You prefer solitude. You enjoy spending time alone, in meditation, reflection, and thoughtful contemplation. You are nourished more by time with yourself than you are by large gatherings.

You can become famous as a wanderer or saint. If you dedicate your life to the spiritual path, especially bhakti, you can advance quickly and gain a large following as a spiritual teacher. However, the purpose of spirituality is not to become famous, but to become a humble and sincere servant of God.

Your extreme sense of morality can get you into trouble. Because you hold your opinions so strongly, you have difficulty appreciating others who hold opposing views. Remember that Truth is never black and white. There are always many shades of gray. A mature person can explore multiple sides of any issue even while they hold fast to their own convictions.

Shravana Compatibility
Shravanas’ sexuality is symbolized by a female monkey. In terms of physical compatibility, this makes them an ideal match for persons born under Purva-ashadha nakshatra.

Based on holistic matching, Shravanas are most likely to find happiness in long-term partnerships with:

Ashwini (for male natives)
Krittika in Taurus (for male natives)
Mrigashira in Taurus
Punarvasu
Pushya (for male natives)
Uttara-phalguni in Virgo

Uttara-ashadha in Capricorn
Dhanishta in Capricorn (for male natives)
Purva-bhadrapada in Pisces (for female natives)
Uttara-bhadrapada (for male natives)
Revati (for female natives)
Note: Compatibility in relationships is a complex science that looks at many different factors. You should always consult with an experienced astrologer who can carefully analyze the charts of both you and your partner.

Shravana’s Four Quarters (Padas)
Each nakshatra is divided into four quarters, also known as padas, of 3:20 degrees each. These quarters are based on a 1/9th divisional chart, known in Sanskrit as navamsha.

The moon’s position at your time of birth determines the quarter in which you are born.

First Quarter (10:00-13:20 degrees Capricorn): Aries. You are ambitious and aggressive. You commit to your projects with zeal. You are likely to experience oscillating success and failure on a professional level.

Second Quarter (13:20-16:40 degrees Capricorn): Taurus. You are attractive and well-mannered. You are tactful and you respect others’ boundaries. However, you have a penchant for sensual pleasures and can be overcome by lust and anger.

Third Quarter (16:40-20:00 degrees Aquarius): Gemini. You’re a talented writer and communicator. These gifts can win you many friends. You excel in social settings.

Fourth Quarter (20:00-23:20 degrees Aquarius): Cancer. You are artistic and have a strong sense of aesthetics. You are compassionate and you enjoy helping others, but you may become carried away by your emotions.

Shravana in Electional Astrology
In electional astrology, also known as muhurtha, nakshatras are used to determine favorable days and times for important ceremonies and events, such as weddings, buying a new house or vehicle, commencing a project, or conceiving a child.

The electional nature of Shravana is Chara, “mobile.” Shravana is an excellent nakshatra for:

Buying a vehicle
Changing residence, jobs, or other life changes
Beginning a pilgrimage
Planting vegetables or other crops, and general gardening work

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.

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.

#Ardra #Nakshatra in #Astrology denotes that native has intellectual nature, passionate thinking side, is sharp-minded, looking for why and the cause behind things that happen in the world, has strong speaking talents, lack a large number of close friends, confrontations with others, master of debates and arguments, makes enemies easily, causing emotional pain to others, and can be turned away by society.

Ardra Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology is one of the Urdhvamukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras, which have their mouths upwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to palaces, coronations, boundary walls, and tall structures can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: A #Bead or a #Drop
The sign for this Nakshatra is a tear or a drop. This is an indication of seminal fluid that causes fertilization.

Deity: Lord #Rudhra #rudra #shiva
The deity for Ardra Nakshatra is Rudhra. The meaning of the word Rudhra is the one who makes cry because Rudh means to cry. The deity for #Rohini is #Brahma and for Ardra is Rudhra. Brahma is the creator, Vishnu is the maintainer, and Rudhra is the destroyer. You may wonder how come Rudhra came after Brahma instead of Vishnu. This is because the egg was formed and didn’t get fertilized. This means the creation and destruction happened but were not maintained. #Vishnu is a deity of #Shravana Nakshatra because, during Shravana Nakshathra, the development of the baby is complete.

Characteristics of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Ardra Nakshatra is a #female #wolf or a female #dog. A dog is the most fascinating creature on this planet.
It can love to the point that it will give its life for you, or it can bite and throttle someone’s bone if they cross their territory.
They are needy, emotional, and pack animals. They always want to be with you and feel abandoned when you go to work.
Dogs have alpha dog in the pack, usually in domestic settings, where there are more than 3 dogs.
One will always become the alpha, but there aren’t any alpha in wolves except the senior dog, who may be the pack’s parent.
They work as a team without a leader.
Translating these facts into Nakshatra is quite simple. Ardra natives require extreme loyalty in love and friendship.
They do not want to feel abandoned by you else, they either become extremely emotional or wild like the wolf to defend their loyalty for you.
They go to extremes of showing their loyalty by even giving their own lives, but when you cross them or their loved one, they will come after you like a hungry dog or wolf and eat the flesh off of you.
They are unpredictable, like a strange dog. You do not know if they are friendly or will try to bite you.
Therefore, everyone is cautious of approaching an Ardra native.
When Ardra natives gets angry, sad and frustrated, they will howl and scream like the wolf, especially when the impact of malefics is on the planet placed in Ardra.
Usually, these people are calm and very private, like the wild wolves, which hide in the deep forest.
Wolves are excellent hunters in the world. Ardra natives love going hunting, which is also their symbolism of “The Hunter”.
They love eating wild game meat like elk, venison, wild boar, alligator etc. This quality of hunting also gives such natives good eyesight in the dark.
Such folks will always hunt for their object of desire when they like someone and will do whatever it takes to get them.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Rudra (Shiva). Shiva is an# Aghori, the one who is naked, constantly meditates, deals and loves death, knows the value of death, stays in cremation grounds, eating wild fruits, berries of forest including meat.
Yes, Shiva did it all. All the things are in Shiva Purana. Shiva is known as #Bholenaath (the innocent one), he gives whatever you ask him.
He is always in meditation and calm, but if you were to disturb him from his meditation, he will not only destroy you but has the capacity of destroying the entire Universe.
Rudra (Shiva) is also one of the first #medicine man from the #Rig #Veda.
He is one of the best physicians of all times. He was making medicine himself and healing people under the name Vaidyanatha (Lord of remedies).
Rudra is the embodiment of Shiva with armor along with bow & arrow, just like the Hunter of Orion.
It’s said that one must worship Rudra in order to attain moksha.
Rudra was created by multiple Gods to get to Brahma, who was chasing his daughter for procreation.
Gods wanted something so powerful that could take Brahma down, and this is how Rudra was manifested.
Ardra natives are exactly like Shiva.
They are wild, unorthodox; they can go to the extreme of everything like extreme meditation, love, lust, anger, work, and emotions, just like how Shiva’s anger can destroy the whole Universe.
They are usually calm people who are wild in a silly sense.
They are very animated and can be boys of boys or girls amongst boys due to the muscle nature of this Nakshatra.
A girl usually is a tomboy in youth.
Once Shiva is disturbed from his calm mood or backstabbed, then they become Rudra and will destroy whatever is in front of them.
They are the ones who can throw everything from their desk when angry.
Ardra natives also make great physicians, and are related to pharmaceutical and Ayurveda professions.
Career is determined by using the Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha technique.
The symbolism of Ardra is a teardrop and a skull. The teardrop represents the drop of the storm.
A storm will always start out with a few drops on your head, and before you know, you are in a flood of water.
The drop is known as a “tear drop”, which is the teardrop of Shiva.
In real life, Ardra must face storms of emotions where tears just come out.
When they cry, they will cry a storm and usually, it can be over very small things.
The cry is not normal; it’s a cry with a howl and scream.
Out of all the Nakshatras, Ardra is the most emotional and with deep feelings, but the reason why they have such feelings is because the world is supposed to betray those feelings, so the water inside turns into a fierce storm.
It’s in their karma to deal with tears; therefore, they make the best actors in front of a camera.
When Ardra native reads a letter, email or text message from past, they can have a river of tears flowing out of them.
The symbolism of the skull is the mystical and realistic side of Ardra.
A skull is actually one of the best tools for an Aghori in the cremation ground.
They use the skull for drinking wine. It may be sacrilegious for us, but we are too dumb to understand the scientist (Aghori) practicing this science of nature.
There is a logical purpose why an Aghori smears themselves with ashes and drink from skull or eat the flesh of the dead.
The skull symbolism shows that Ardra is not afraid of death and is curious about the world of mysticism, occult, tantra, and magic rituals.
Skull is also where the hair grows, and Ardra represents the hair of Shiva.
The controller of this Nakshatra is Rahu. All three Nakshatras of Rahu, which are Ardra Nakshatra, Swati Nakshatra and Shatabhisha Nakshatra, will have a lot of similar themes to them compared to other Nakshatra being ruled by a single planet.
Rahu is like Jupiter. All Rahu ruled Nakshatras love space, science fiction, astrophysics, the astral plane, fantasy and anything to do with the new-age technology.
Even though Ardra is a medicine man, but these natives are attracted to future technology.
Out of all the Nakshatras of Rahu, Ardra has the capacity to write a great science fiction book.
All Ardra natives dive into the fantasy of what is the world, how the world works, and what else is out there in the ether besides this blue planet, Earth.
Attributes of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
Ardra Nakshatra extends in Gemini (Mithun) from 6’40” to 20’00”.
When Surya enters Ardra, the Earth is said to be starting its menstrual course, that is, Ambubachi.
Ardra means wet or surcharged with water. Because the Earth is running her menstrual course, teardrops fall one after another.
From Rudra comes all suffering, persecutions and oppressions, anger, the ferocity of countenance or hideousness of noise. Rudra is another name of Shiva, the five-faced (Panchanana).
In knowledge, asceticism, renunciation, and enjoyment, he is the supreme consummation of all desires. He is a blue-throated one, the wielder of the tremendous powers, what could not be attempted, far less achieved by other Gods.
On one side, he symbolizes the perfect placidity and serenity; on the other hand, he is the symbol of all that is terrible. He holds the great serpent on his head and forehead crescent Chandra with his sweet-soft light.
At the same time, he is the most peaceful and the most terrible. And in all these are to be traced the intrinsic characteristics of Ardra.
Superficially, on the surface of it, Ardra stands for suffering, hardness, cruelty, murder, prison, theft, adultery, etc.
The root characteristic is oppression in order to purify. All male kidney troubles, connected urethral diseases and also uterine diseases of the females, come within the jurisdiction of Ardra.

Sun’s Ingress (Jun 21st – July 4th) for Ardra Nakshatra
The Sun enters Ardra on Jun 21st and remains in Ardra till July 4th. If you are born during this period, your Sun is in Ardra Nakshatra.
According to the Sayana calendar, June 21st is a Solstice. In India, it is the summer solstice. On this day, the Sun changes its path till the December solstice.
Interestingly, Rahu or the north node of the Moon, owns this Nakshatra.
Rahu’s direction is the reverse of other planets, and these 2 things can be aptly correlated. Similarly, the winter solstice comes under Moola Nakshatra, and Ketu owns the Moola Nakshatra.

#Shravana #Nakshatra, which starts at 10°00' and is up to 23°20' in Capricorn sign, is the 22nd Nakshatra in the zodiac as per Indian #vedic #astrology. Shravana Nakshatra is also written as #Sravana Nakshatra or #Shravan Nakshatra. Shravana Nakshatra has a unique symbol of three #footprints in an uneven row. And #Human #Ear is also said to be the symbol for Shravana Nakshatra. Sravana Nakshatra is etymologically related to the verb in #Sanskrit language that means 'To #hear'. So the symbol of an ear for Sravana Nakshatra finds its validation and connection with this lunar asterism.

The symbols and etymology both clears the way for Shravana Nakshatra to be associated with #Goddess #Saraswati. She is the goddess of #learning and #wisdom. She is a presiding deity for any type of learnings and skillsets. And both of these connections, the symbol of hearing and Goddess learning and #knowledge, gives the idea about the personality traits of the Shravana natives. The knowledge which is orally transmitted and hence heard by Ears is the foremost trait related to Shravana Nakshatra.

The ruling deity of Shravana Nakshatra is #Lord #Vishnu, the Preserver #god of the world, life and the whole #cosmos. He is one who is also known as Lord #Narayana. And he is the one who creates the balance in the universe. Vishnu is also a part Hindu Trio of God with other two, Lord #Brahma and Lord #Shiva.

The Great Preserver God of Hinduism, Lord Vishnu is the ruling deity for Shravana Nakshatra. Although there are many things associated with him. Talking specifically about Shravana lunar mansion, the personality trait like knowledge with wisdom which essential to create a balance can be absorbed from Vishnu. The #Vedas and Vedangas which are being preserved for years in Indian tradition are nothing but the toolboxes for passing knowledge that can provoke wisdom. For example Indian Vedic Astrology. An Indian had a tradition of passing it from generations to generations. Which essentially helps the new generations to preserve the valuable human qualities.

Shravana Nakshatra also indicates travels, and sometimes creates urinary difficulties.

#Chandra is the ruling planet for Shravan Nakshatra. All the Padas of Shravana Nakshatra are in the Capricorn sign. The 1st Pada falls in Aries navamsa ruled by Mars. The 2nd Pada falls in Taurus navamsa ruled by Venus. The 3rd Pada falls in Gemini navamsa ruled by Mercury. And the 4th Pada is in Cancer navamsa ruled by Chandra or planet Moon.

Moon in Shravana Nakshatra: Birth star as Shravana Nakshatra makes a person prosperous and a learned person. Shravana natives may get a liberal-minded spouse. There are also some chances of getting immense wealth, riches of life and wide fame.

#Shravana #Nakshatra in #Astrology

‘Shravana’ means to #hear. This is the ‘Star of the #Learning #Ear’ or the ‘ #Star of #Listening’.

Shravana Nakshatra has a remarkable ability to bring like-minded people together. This nakshatra is also connected with #Goddess #Saraswati, the goddess of learning, studying various languages, intellectual pursuits, creativity such as arts and music. These natives, who are musically inclined, could be great at playing any string instrument.

The symbol that is associated with Shravana Nakshatra is the ‘Three Uneven Footsteps’. One of the symbolic meanings is the nakshatra’s strong organisational capabilities that brings order cleverly. These three footsteps also represent a connection to Lord #Vishnu, the deity of this nakshatra. He is the preserver of the world.

Specifically, Lord Vishnu’s ‘Vamana Avatar’ is particularly relevant to Shravana Nakshatra. Vamana Avatar was also called Tri-Vikrama, which means conqueror of the three worlds – Bhurloka, Buvaloka and Swargloka. This nakshatra is relevant to a set of 3 powerful fixed stars in the constellation Aquila called Alpha-Aquilae, Beta-Aquilae & Gamma-Aquilae.

This nakshatra deals with extreme leadership, wisdom and knowledge. These natives make superb counsellors. They truly hear others – beyond the words people say. Spirituality is of utmost importance to them. They can also turn out to become religious.

They are traditionalists. They remain by their traditions, the old practices and conventions of the past. They manage to stay true to their past cultural customs. This is a very moralistic Nakshatra.

In the zodiac wheel, Shravana Nakshatra is connected to the Capricorn sign.

#SHRAVANA #NAKSHATRA

enter image description here

#Wisdom comes in #silence,
where the sound
between the diversity of thoughts
is revealed.

Soon the Moon will meet the lunar Mansion of Shravan, which in turn will intersect with the human astral body.
This is an auspicious offering of the lunar year for the developing clairaudience – the ability of the third ear of the throat Chakra to hear secrets whispered by infinity.

Each Nakshatra brings a particular energy into focus. The Yogins tune into the stars and the Moon within their rituals, and decode the soul – studying and freeing themselves of the impositions of illusory structures.

Shravan Nakshatra pertains to themes of sound, hearing, listening, words, language, noise and all the themes that encompass the throat chakra.

Sometimes we starve to be heard,
Sometimes we starve for magic,
maybe because we do not hear.

‘Wisdom is simplicity’, it has been said. In the cacophonous themes that reverberate in the inner ear of excess consumption, along with the sounds of seemingly variegated dualisms, where can secret simplistic and magical wisdom lay her head? A head moist with Moon sweat.
Shravan Nakshatra encompasses Makara, the crocodile constellation (Capricorn). It rules over ancient things – the crocodile itself is an ancient creature.

The energy of Makara brought to us by Shravan reveals to us the echoes of sounds of the past.
This Nakshatra of Shravan offers us an ear of listening, to revise the ancient lessons needed to be heard if we are to hear the sound of wisdom.

Ananta Shesha is the Naag king of Snakes. He is the 1000 headed serpent upon which Vishnu – the ruler of Shravan Nakshatra rests.
Ananta is another name of the Nakshatra of Shravan.
Ananta is eternal. When disillusion of opposites comes, Ananta remains unchanged. He is the Crown-Chakra beyond terrestrial reach – from which the Anahat Naad (original sound) emanates.

Ananta Shesha was sent under the earth by the creator to hold the earth in place, he keeps balance and stops it falling into the sounds of duality.

This coming dark Moon is known by Tantrics as Mauni Amvasya – the Annual Tantric ritual night of silence. For thousands of years it has been kept as a silent time by Tantrics.

A time of Mantra and working with the inner-ear of the Throat-Chakra to gain admittance to the inner word of words. A Mauni is a silent sage possessed of inner wisdom… the wisdom of both inner and outer sound.
Language and noise can veil the more silent tones of wisdom. The Mauni is she or he who has stripped the forms of sound and gone to the naked music of the soul.

The practice of Mauna is the yogic technique of working with speech. Part of Mauna is to keep silence, but it encompasses so much more, and presents many inner practices of finding the magic inherent within sound.

Mauni Amvasya in Shravan Nakshatra brings a major blessing: it can gift one with the clairaudient powers of Moon-infused flower dew.

Neelpadma is the blue lotus that rules the Throat-Chakra.
The Tantrics know that it flowers in twilight. If Neelpadma is found at the time when the dark Moon is in Shravan Nakshatra, and the moisture upon its petals is imbibed, then it can confer clairaudience to those who drink it.

This is the science of flowers
that the Siddhas keep alive.

Some lotuses bloom in the twilight of dawn and some in the twilight of dusk. The Nakshatra upon the full or dark Moon at either dawn or dusk leaves healing moon milk-like dew drops upon her lotus petals.
If the blue lotus Moon-milk is taken when the full moon is in Shravana, then it makes the physical ears hear much better and can cure hearing problems.

It is not a theory but a practice that can be verified by the Moon and flower practitioner.

Chandrapadmavidya
is the name of this mostly unwritten
& hidden science.
It means the wisdom of the Moon flowers.

Shravan Nakshatra is the farthest Nakshatra from the elliptical zodiacal belt, and it rules rare flowers. Far away and rare flowers that are ruled by this Nakshatra are medicinally harvested by Yogins when the Moon is in Shravan Nakshatra.

enter image description here

The Yogin listens and hears the Anahat Naad – That is the sound of silence in-between the various sounds that bounce off the walls of our inner universe.
The internal dialogues that repeat in our inner sanctum are what create our reality.

The Tantric axiom of ‘There is nothing out there’ reveals that there may be a lot ‘in there.
The Anahat Naad is the nourishing sound. Ana means food and nourishment, Hat implies duality, and Naad is sound. A balanced diet of sound is indeed of psychic and physical necessity.

THE MOON BIRD

Shravan is the star constellation of Aquila. Aquila is the eagle, Vishnu the ruling deity of this Nakshatra has as his Vahaan (power animal) the eagle. Meditate upon this.

This is the Nakshatra of extreme psychic sensitivity and the Throat-Chakra which is under its rulership.
Shravan Nakshatra is contained within Capricorn.
When Shravan Nakshatra is in the lunar orbit, it brings an extreme sensitivity to sound… when in the dark Moon, then it brings awareness of inner sounds. Note that the symbol of this Nakshatra is an Ear.

This is an opportune time to work
with Mantra and observe silence.
Wisdom comes in silence,
where the linking sound
that lives between and within
the diversity of thoughts
is revealed and unveiled.

The energy of Shravan Nakshatra is the profound quality of taking in and listening. The ability of remembering and keeping information is brought by this Nakshatra that rules the memory aspect of the Manas (division of mind).
When this Nakshatra creates a vortex with the dark Moon, then it draws out issues around listening and hearing – from deep within us – for us to look at.
The lunar sway can go as deep as our soul, to draw clairaudience from the Throat-Chakra.

Shravan’s lesson is all about hearing the unheard, forgotten and secret silver and gold intertwined thread that connects all things.
This thread resonates mystical sound with the breath of innocence.
When we are a storehouse of information in the spectrum of sound, then the dualisms and separations inherent in the codes of language and variegated principles, challenge us to hear the song of unity.
Should the gold and silver threads end up untwining themselves – this is the loss of hearing the secret sound.

THE TRIMURTI
enter image description here

The Trimurti are the 3 principle energies of creation, maintenance and destruction. These 3 qualities are ever present in all things. The energy beyond the middle, beginning and the end is the doorway that opens when the balance between them is established.

The energy beyond is a quality of mystic sound inherent within the 3 Trimurti energies. Neither a cry of birth, expressed by the Mantra Hey, nor the death rattle expressed by the sound Ho. But the spirit between them.

The ruling deity of Shravan is Vishnu. Particularly in his form of Vaman, the dwarf god.
Vishnu is the middle part of the Trimurti – he is the balancer between the energies of creation and destruction.

It is to be remembered that Shravan is symbolised as an ear, and it is the ear that keeps the sense of balance in the human system. Vishnu then, is like the cosmic ear. He is the maintaining energy that keeps equilibrium within the Cosmos.

THE 3 STEPS

The constellation of Makara (Crocodile) encompasses Capricorn and is known as the Aquila star constellation.
Aquila star constellation has 3 principle stars that are in a direct line and constitute Shravan Nakshatra. They are: Alshain, Altair and Tarazed.

Vishnu in his form of Vaman, the Dwarf God, takes 3 steps in the famous story where he defeats Mahabali who had taken over the 3 worlds.
Worthy of meditation is that the annual Vaman Jayanti Moon occurs in none other than Shravan Nakshatra.
The steps that Vaman takes are the 3 stars. In one stride Vaman steps from the Tarazed star to the Alshain star, for the next step, Vaman follows his step and treads upon the head of Mahabali, the head of Mahabali represents the Altair star.

Mahabali is the middle and brightest star of the 3. The step upon the head gradually darkens the star and presses it into the underworld until it returns to its glory in high summer.

We have seen that the stars that constitute Shravan Nakshatra are: Alshain, Altair and Tarazed. These 3 stars of are most visible in high summer when they come alive.
This is interesting, as in high summer, Mahabali has his day of rulership when he returns to the earth plane.
The festival of his return also occurs in Shravan Nakshatra.
At this part of the year we are now in, the star reaches its deepest point of departure and Mahabali resumes his throne as lord of the underworld.

When Shravan Nakshatra
appears on Mauni Amvasya,
then Mahabali calls us
into the very depths of underworld sound.

THE #EAR OF SHRAVAN

The Ear of Shravan gives us Vaak Siddhi, which is the power of speech.
Vaak Siddhi is linked to the tongue and how it is used.

The Vaak Mudras are the Mudras that work with the tongue as a means to access the inner ear at the throat chakra.

The throat chakra
is the ear of clairaudience
that admits us into the world of hearing the spirit calling.
It is the ear of finding the way home through the noise.

There is a wisdom of hearing beyond the sounds and informations that exists within us.
By tuning to the astral energies that condition and intersect with the spirit, we may see the effect they have upon us; we may see our reactions to effects; we may open doors within.

Central to Tantric practice, is the tuning into the astral plane through focussed ritualised formulas.
Reducing or extinguishing all impositions upon nature at twilight and sitting in simplicity and listening to the spirit beyond even silence – reveals a place of ?

#Shravana #Nakshatra spans 10º00 – 23º20 degrees Capricorn. Located right in the middle of this Saturn ruled sign, Shravana shares many of it’s qualities, most of all the ability to be by oneself, walking ones own path and being comfortable with the absence of sensory stimulus, ie sound. Being comfortable in #silence.

Shravana’s symbols as well as connected body part is the #ear. This gives us many clues as to the meaning of this Nakshatra. Often people with planets in Shravana Nakshatra have either exceptionally good hearing, may be even extra sensitive to sound or loud noises, or may be afflicted with the opposite – loss of hearing, tinnitus, or other problems with the ears.

Shravana is for listening, hearing words that are spoken, sounds around them, but also truly “listening” and “hearing” what is being said, intuiting even the unspoken, the meaning, reading between the lines. There is a big talent here to understand the subtle differences in tonation and meaning behind it. Shravana’s natives may be good at acquiring other languages and their proper pronunciation and meaning of the words, as well as understanding and reciting mantra. Hearing the “OM”, the sound of the universe.

The yogic Bee Humming Breath – Bhramari Pranayama – is a wonderful technique for this Nakshatra. Bhramari, by closing off the ears to external sound, directs our attention to the inner sound, the inner voice as well as the sound of the infinite universe itself. Sitting for even just a few minutes with this breath can bring you back to centre, back to yourself, and an understanding of belonging and cosmic support. You can find the instructions here.

With all this also comes the wish and talent to learn. Shravana people are seeking the higher knowledge, the truth. Once they have learned they can then teach others. This includes inner learning as well. It’s one of the reasons for Shravana to be able to be in silence and solitude for any stretch of time, something they are comfortable with and need in order to regroup when they are under stress.

This Nakshatra gives the desire to hear people speak good things about them, to be held in high regards by others, and it is said that by worshipping Vishnu this wish will be fulfilled. Shravana may also give the propensity to listen to and even engage in gossip about others, something Shravana natives should be aware of and make a conscious effort to stay away from. It’s important for Shravana people to have a good public standing and reputation.
