Shravana Nakshatra Meaning
Shravana means “The ear -- listening, learning, connection”. It is the 22th of 27 nakshatras in the Vedic lunar mansion system, spanning 280.00° to 293.33° of the sidereal zodiac.
The ruling planet (Dasha lord) is Moon (Chandra), which governs a 10-year Mahadasha in the Vimshottari system. People born with their Moon in Shravana begin their life Dasha sequence from this planetary period. The themes of Chandra shape the core karmic qualities of this nakshatra.
Vimshottari Dasha Connection
If your Moon is in Shravana, your Dasha sequence begins with the Moon (Chandra) Mahadasha (10 years). The exact starting point within that Dasha is calculated from how far your Moon has progressed through Shravana at birth. Arcanavana computes your complete Dasha timeline from your birth details.
Your Moon nakshatra is the foundation of Vedic timing. It determines not just your initial Dasha but also your emotional nature, karmic instincts, and the subtle flavour of your inner life that your Sun sign alone cannot reveal. See the full nakshatra guide or get your complete Vedic Kundli.
