Moon in Shravana = "Hearing"- attentive to
public opinion
(Chandra-Shani-Vishnu)
Shravana is a nakshatra of skillful listening.
Shravana natives are excellent listeners who are attentive to public
opinion and wish to maintain their social reputation
at all costs.
Extraordinary "ear" for music,
drum-beat, rhythms, speech prosody, "what people are
saying".
They
are allied with conventional standards for excellence and will not
tolerate any challenge to what they hear as the rules for proper
behavior in their subculture.
Sravana's rhythmic
intelligence can concentrate on a pattern and "pay
attention" to nuanced variation.
Gifted in delivering
speeches and sermons with a rhythmic, melodically structured cadence.
Sensitive "ear" for writing. A writer with Shravana Chandra
knows to read one's written work aloud to ensure a readable
rhythm.
A shrewd and discriminating observer (David-Néel).
There is a certain negativity associated with this
nakshatra which is the obvious downside of tale-telling, dishonesty or
open contempt for those who might tarnish or challenge one's public reputation.
If
Chandra receives aggressive drishti in the nativity, the native might
pursue his nay-sayers aggressively, seeking to discredit those who might
criticize one (Sarah Palin).
The upside can be a professionally respected
version of tale-telling, such as journalism or scholarly
historian. Shravana can produce exquisitely attentive
historians (Michel Foucault) and industrialists who listen
to the people and deliver what the people request (Henry Ford).
Shravana can be arrogant or uncharitable even (or especially) to
close friends or family, should one's reputation come into danger from
insinuation of untruthfulness or by unflattering
association.
The upside is focused attention to
religious teachings and tolerating only the purest spoken word in their
homes.
Parents disallow vulgarity to flow from the mouths of their
children; will not abide for ill words to be spoken by them in the public assembly.
Shravana
will travel extensively to listen at the feet of the guru; but
one will
also ensure that his pious visits are publicly announced
and established in the public mind.
Intellectually, the power of the ear is a huge
asset; one listens attentively to the teacher and reads with close
attention to detail.
Shravana produces scholars of the
highest order who pass long the lineage high values of their culture.
Marvelous historians, sociologists, and curators of traditional
knowledge.
Natural ability at public-relations, opinion-polls,
political campaign managers, and holders of public office.
