10°00′ – 23°20′ Capricorn · ruled by Moon · deity Vishnu, the preserver
Shravana, whose deity is Vishnu, the preserver, is the star of listening — the ear. Knowledge arrives by hearing, learning, and keeping confidences.
The gift: deep learning, trustworthiness, and counsel people actually seek.
The lesson: absorbing everyone else's story and going unheard yourself. Named kindly: this is the gift pointed the wrong way, and naming it is most of the work.

| Deity | Vishnu, the preserver |
| Span | 10°00′ – 23°20′ Capricorn |
| Moon sign (Rashi) | Capricorn (Makara) |
| Gana (temperament) | Deva — the refined class: cooperative, harmony-seeking, uncomfortable with cruelty even when it would be convenient. |
| Nadi (constitution) | Kapha — the constitutional current used in classical matching |
| Yoni (instinct) | Vanar — the monkey, the instinct-symbol used for temperament compatibility |
| Rajju | Kantha — the neck, an older matching rule read alongside the eight dimensions |
| Quarter | Navamsa shade | Name syllables |
|---|---|---|
| Pada 1 | An Aries shade — the most direct quarter of the star: initiative first, reflection after | Khi |
| Pada 2 | A Taurus shade — the steadiest quarter: the star's gifts want to become something tangible and kept | Khu |
| Pada 3 | A Gemini shade — the most curious quarter: the star's nature expresses itself through words, pairs and exchange | Khe |
| Pada 4 | A Cancer shade — the most feeling quarter: the star's gifts are offered protectively, to a chosen few | Kho |
The pada is the quarter of the star the Moon occupied at your birth. It sets the navamsa sign and the first syllable tradition gives a name. The calculator below tells you yours.
Classical matching reads two birth stars across eight dimensions. Four of them — ease (Tara), instinct (Yoni), temperament (Gana) and constitution (Nadi), 21 of the 36 points — depend on the stars alone, so they can be read for Shravana exactly. These stars pair most naturally with it:
Stars that share Shravana's Kapha nadi — Krittika, Rohini, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Revati — raise the constitutional flag the tradition watches, which comes with listed cancellations and is a conversation, never a verdict. The other fifteen points read from the two Moon signs, which the padas decide; a full check needs both charts.
