Frequently asked questions
What is Shravana Nakshatra?
Shravana is one of the 27 nakshatras, spanning 280°00′–293°20′ of the sidereal zodiac and falling in Capricorn. It is ruled by Chandra (Moon), and its gana is Deva, its nadi Antya and its yoni Monkey.
Which graha rules Shravana Nakshatra?
Chandra (Moon). That lordship is why a person born under Shravana begins life in the Chandra (Moon) mahadasha, which runs 10 years in the Vimshottari cycle.
Which rashi does Shravana fall in?
Capricorn. A nakshatra spans 13°20′ and a rashi spans 30°, so most nakshatras cross a rashi boundary rather than sitting neatly inside one.
What is the gana and nadi of Shravana?
Shravana has Deva gana and Antya nadi. Both are used in Ashtakoota matching — gana is worth six points and nadi eight.
What is the yoni of Shravana?
Monkey. The yoni koota compares the animals assigned to two birth nakshatras and is worth four points out of 36.
How many padas does Shravana have?
Four, like every nakshatra. Each pada is 3°20′ wide, giving 108 padas across the whole zodiac.
