What are the 27 Nakshatras?

The 27 Nakshatras are lunar mansions — equal segments of the Moon’s path across the ecliptic. Your birth Nakshatra is determined by the Moon’s position at birth and is central to naming, compatibility, muhurat, and Vimshottari Dasha in Jyotish.

How does Nakshatra affect personality?

Classical texts associate each Nakshatra with a deity, symbol, and temperament. The Moon’s Nakshatra colours emotional style, while the full chart (lagna, grahas, houses) refines the picture. Weekly guidance often starts from Janma Nakshatra as a simple, stable anchor.

How do I find my Nakshatra?

Enter your birth date, time, and place. Daanyam computes the Moon’s sidereal longitude with a precision ephemeris and maps it to one of the 27 Nakshatras, including pada (quarter) where applicable.

The Shravana Nature

Shravana nakshatra personality is listening, learning and oriented toward the sacred ear. Ruled by the Moon and linked to Vishnu, this nakshatra carries the gift of hearing what others miss. Natives often have a natural humility and a thirst for knowledge and story.

Strengths & Challenges

Strengths include the ability to listen deeply, to learn quickly and to retain and transmit knowledge. Shravana natives excel in education, media, counselling and any field that values listening.

The shadow is overhearing and gossip. Using your gift of hearing for healing and teaching, not for drama, keeps Shravana aligned with Vishnu.

Career & Life Path

Careers in education, media, counselling, writing, music and any field that values listening and transmission suit Shravana. You thrive where story and learning meet.
