COMPATIBILITY

Applies to nakshatra of radical lagna AND nakshatra of Chandra. For emotional relationships, nakshatra of Chandra is more influential in determining compatibility and ease of interaction.

Psycho-socially compatible with Śrāvaṇa * Hari

Nakshatra of Chandra - matrikaraka caretaking Chandra's rhythmic, parenting, routinized style provides security-seeking home-based similarity.

[Rohiṇī - Aldebaran] + [Hasta - Savitri] + [Śrāvaṇa - Hari]

Nakshatra of Surya * center-stage, sparklingly exceptional, brightly self-reflexive Surya finds Himself reflected in the passively companionable Moon.

[Krittika - Pleiades] + [Uttaraphalgunī - Aryaman] + [Uttarāṣāḍha - Vaishva]

Psycho-socially neutral with Śrāvaṇa * Hari

Nakshatra of Brihaspati * Guru and Chandra are mutual friends.. Protective Chandra keeps the emotionally nourishing routines pulsing while fertile Guru expands the doctrinal wisdom of understanding.

[Punarvasu - Yamaka] + [Viśākha - Rādhā] + [Purvabhadra - Pegasus]

Nakshatra of Mangala * Kuja and Chandra are mutual friends. Mangala leads the conquest of new worlds and Chandra provides a safe home.

[Mrigashira - Invaka] + [Chitra - Spica] + [Dhaniṣṭha - Delphinus]

Psycho-socially uneasy with Śrāvaṇa * Hari

Nakshatra of Shukra = materialistic, accumulating, sensual Shukra is all about partnership, pairing, two-ness, cooperation, contract, sharing. Chandra operates on a parent-child model that is incompatible with equity partnership. Shukra's conditional contractual agenda and Chandra's unconditional protective agenda are deeply incompatible and often mutually resentful.

[Bharani - Yamya] + [Pūrvaphalgunī - Yonī] + [Pūrvāṣāḍhā - Apah]

Nakshatra of Shani * s hanaicarya has a great dislike of both Chandra and Mangala. Shani's systems are lawfully regular and rule-governed while Chandra's flooding, swelling emotions maintain a culture of moody irregularity.

[Pushya - Sidhya] + [Anuradha - Maitreya] + [Uttarabhadra - Andromeda]

Nakshatra of Budha * Despite Chandra's parental acceptance of adolescent Budha, from Budha's perspective there is no greater enemy than caretaking Chandra. Therefore this pair is unbalanced and unhappy, with parental Chandra quietly absorbing all of bantering Budha's inexperienced wordiness while Chattering Kumara vociferously rejects Chandra's ancient, mute routines.

[Aśleṣa - Naga] + [Jyeṣṭha - Antares] + [Revatī-Pushana]

Most catalytic (challenging) nakshatra for Śrāvaṇa * Hari

Nakshatra of Rahu or Ketu * whether highly exciting [Rahu] or deeply observing [Ketu] the fascinating yet disruptive nodal styles are overtly hostile to Chandra's nourishing, protective lunar cycle. These pairings follow incommensurable agendas. The Chandra partner is likely to feel stressed by the unpredictability of the Rahu-Ketu partner.

[Arudra - Betelgeuze] + [Arcturus-Arcturus] + [Sadachbia - Varuna]
[Aśvini - Dasra] + [Magha - Regulus] + [Mula - Nirṛti]

QUOTATION from Dennis Harness, The Nakshatras: The Lunar Mansions of Vedic Astrology

"22. Śrāvaṇa: The Star of Learning

(Capricornus 10 00 to 23 20 )

Śrāvaṇa translates as the hearing, with its primary symbol being an ear. It is a deva, or godly nakshatra that has the capacity to hear the astral sounds of Krishna s flute, and the celestial bells or the cosmic Om.

The natives of this asterism usually have brilliant minds and the capacity to study other cultures and spiritual dimensions.

The movie director, George Lucas and Vedic scholar, David Frawley both have their natal Moons in this auspicious nakshatra.

Material success is a result of the primary motivation of this asterism being artha or wealth.

The primary deity is Vishnu, the Preserver of the Universe.

Saraswati, the Goddess of Learning, is considered to be the female deity associated with Śrāvaṇa.

The shakti is the power to provide connection with others ."

QUOTATION Pandit David Frawley:

Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra

" Vishnu desired, "May I hear people say good words about me.

May I not gain any bad regard."

One who makes the appropriate offering to Vishnu, to Śrāvaṇa,

hears good words about himself
and does not come to any bad regard.

Those born under Śrāvaṇa are concerned about what people say about them

about their public reputation .

They will strive to keep themselves in good repute.

They are sensitive about the opinions of others."

Śrāvaṇa

Shrona - Hari - Śrāviṣṭha - Apramaya - Azvattha

BPL commentary

For Zra-vana births of a feminine valence, the condition of reflective, sheltering, undulating, rhythmic, routinized, culturally rooted, boundary-defending, security-seeking, nourishing, parental, matrikaraka Chandra may considerably affect the outcome.

For those born into the Soma-ruled paradigm of Apramaya, mother-figures, protectors, guardians, elemental spirits, natural environments, waters, roots, eggs, gardeners, farmers, fisher-folk, caretakers, foundation-builders, police, schoolteachers, parents, providers of nourishment , and defenders of the root culture, may be especially influential.

Instructional guidance provided by emissaries from the civilizations of Aquila. Their purpose is sensitive, parental leadership and maintenance of the comforting rhythms of the social order.

The Listener* Shaman

Śrāviṣṭha ladies are exceptionally concerned with their social reputation. Orderly personalities who often conduct high-visibility careers, they are dedicated to family life and naturally comfortable with motherhood. Shrona-born often assume caretaker roles in social organizations and at all levels of government.

Apramaya-born are often found operating charitable agencies, teaching school, or protecting their cultural foundations. Hari-born attend to the needs of mothers and children, often using the slow and indirect bureaucratic methods that might intimidate a less patient leader. Yet, in their care it is quietly effective.

Śrāvaṇa-born are highly skilled listeners. Due to their exceptional sensitivity to rhythm, pace, and tone, Śrāvaṇa can be music and dance performers. Whether professionally or socially, Śrāviṣṭha ladies are typically superb dancers who delight in the orchestrated flow of gracious dancing.

Measured, appropriate tone

The primary aim of Apramaya-born is to deflect any unfavorable public opinion from themselves and their family. A secondary aim is to socially structure the regular flow of seasons in the lunar cycle. Thus, they are often engaged with the comforting rituals of the liturgical calendar.

Combining Chandra's orientation to the past with Shani's need for reliable rules of conduct, Shrona folks may appear to be rather old-fashioned. Misbehavior is upsetting for them. Śrāvaṇa mothers bask in the glow of their children and grandchildren's accomplishments. Being a grandmother, or a grand-dame in some socially respected way, is perhaps their most cherished role.

Themes of propriety, politeness, security, seasonal flow, and the soothing rhythms of homelife may contextualize Śrāvaṇa's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Śrāvaṇa

QUOTATION from: Shil-Ponde.(1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 99.

" Denotes a charitable and benevolent person of

strength of character
and calmness of demeanor .

She gives courage to others.

The nervous and needy come to her for help,
and get it.

These women make good designers and interior decorators ."

// keeping the beat //

For Zra-vana births of masculine valence, the condition of reflective, sheltering, undulating, rhythmic, routinized, culturally rooted, boundary-defending, security-seeking, nourishing, parental, matrikaraka Chandra may considerably affect the outcome.

For those born into the Soma-ruled paradigm of Apramaya, mother-figures, protectors, guardians, elemental spirits, natural environments, waters, roots, eggs, gardeners, farmers, fisher-folk, caretakers, foundation-builders, police, schoolteachers, parents, providers of nourishment, and defenders of the root culture, may be especially influential.

The Listener * Shaman

Śrāviṣṭha gentlemen are exceptionally concerned with their social reputation.

Parental in their authority style, they adopt organizational caretaker roles and are found in secure positions at all levels of society. Śrāvaṇa are often found working in the slow but reliable bureaucracies which evoke their characteristic persevering patience.

Apramaya-born are often found operating charitable agencies, teaching school, or protecting their cultural foundations. Although their careers may elevate to the highest ranks of social decision-making, Hari-born remember always the simple family folk and their concerns with property, security, and nourishment.

As fathers, teachers, and social leaders, Shravistha chaps are generally stable and protective. They are blessed with an intuitive understanding of the social law in context of ancient customs. Many are lawyers, judges, social-justice advocates, or teachers of the law.

In personal relationships, their comfort-seeking Chandra seeks an equally placid, parental match. Yet, being such peaceful people, these men may find balance with wives who are somewhat more outspoken.

Śrāvaṇa-born are highly skilled listeners. Due to their exceptional sensitivity to rhythm, pace, and tone, Śrāvaṇa can be singers and musicians. Śrāviṣṭha gentlemen are typically superb dancers who delight in the orchestrated flow of gracious dancing. When the occasion calls for careful listening to the beat of the music, their steps may be practiced and elegant.

Measured, appropriate tone

Śrāvaṇa must combine Shani's mandate to maintain the larger social order with parental Chandra's focus on the local settlement, housing, schools, and farms. Often their focus is property law .

Although public dignity remains important, Śrāvaṇa fellows are also concerned to maintain the steady life flow [Chandra] of the ethnicity or the nation. Combining Chandra's orientation to the past with Shani's need for reliable rules of conduct, Shrona folks may appear to be rather old-fashioned. They find comfort in the old liturgical rhythms and are often regular participants in the rites of public worship. Their most cherished roles are usually Father and Grandfather.

Themes of social stability , public safety, property rights, protection of the old routines, maintenance of the tribe, and the soothing rhythms of homelife may contextualize Śrāvaṇa's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Śrāvaṇa

QUOTATION from: Shil-Ponde(1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 86.

" An excellent character, the keynote of which is kind heartedness and generosity,

particularly to those less fortunate than himself.

This man will always be able to accumulate the good things of life

without injuring anyone else to do so.

He will be disposed to share his belongings with the poor and needy.

The extent of his activities in this direction,
will of course depend on his station in life.

Many social workers and philanthropists have Śrāvaṇa rising.

He will also be very religious

and will participate in church activities
if his environment permits."

QUOTATION from Das / Behari

" ... very good attractive physical features.

Normally height will be small and ... a peculiar mark on the face, may be in the form of a mole or some other mark which appears to be a kind of disfigurement.

In some cases, a black mole beneath the shoulder has been noticed.

You are god fearing and have full respect for elders.

You are a believer in victory for truth.

Even if you catch a thief, you will try to find out the truth of the circumstances which led that person to become a thief and if you are convinced you will let that person go.

Your inherent quality of peaceful appearance and the knack of dealings will penetrate to the minds of the public , hence you are the fittest politician for modern times.

Your smile is enough to attract and be remembered by others.
Whatever may be the ups and downs in life, you will neither reach to the top or bottom.
In other words, a mediocre life will be enjoyed by you.

You are a very good adviser.

Others will look to you for solving individual as well as collective problems.
You are a versatile genius.
You have the ability and capacity to undertake different jobs at a time.

On the other hand you will think to let God give due punishment to them.
Up to 30 years of age you will undergo several changes.
Between 30 to 45 years of age will mark stability in all walks of life.
In case you go beyond 65 years due to beneficial planetary positions you can expect remarkable progress both economical and social.
You are suitable for taking up mechanical or technical work or engineering. You may also be connected with petroleum or oil products.

Shravana Moonrise

BPL commentary on Śrāvaṇa Nakshatra

People are talking; Śrāvaṇa is listening

Śrāvaṇa is deeply concerned with public respectability and reputation.

any graha which occupy the Śrāvaṇa degree range = 10:00 - 23:20 Makara = one's "listening equipment"

the more graha located in Śrāvaṇa (including graha in the varga) the more energy one may devote to maintaining a spotless public reputation

PUBLIC RELATIONS

Śrāvaṇa is perpetually concerned with Public Relations. Suitable professions include

attorney
publicist
PR departments of corporations and governments
diplomatic roles
spin doctors of every stripe

COMFORT ZONE

Chandra-ruled Śrāvaṇa feels most comfortable in a Chandra+Shani environment that combines familiar, predictable rhythms with a fixed, status-ranked hierarchy.

Thus the Listeners may self-soothe by hearing the Mass [message] or devoutly participating in the liturgy of their culture's status-cult.

Regular [Shani] attendants at state-sponsored worship, they tend to be " churchy" .

Intimacy with the Object of Study

Hearing

QUOTATION from H.H. Tenzin Gyatso, Kindness, Clarity, and Insight 25th Anniversary Edition . Jeffrey Hopkins (Trans. Ed.), Elizabeth Napper (Ed.),

" When engaging in hearing , it is important to mix the mind, to familiarize the mind, with what is being heard.

The study of religion is not like learning about history.

It must be mixed with your mental continuum; your mind should be suffused with it.

A sutra says that the practices are like a mirror;

your actions of body, speech, and mind are like a face to be seen in the mirror;
and through the practices you should recognize faults and gradually get rid of them.

As it is said in the oral transmission,

"If there is enough space between yourself and the practices for someone else to walk through, then you are not implementing them properly."
