Shravana Nakshatra
Shravana is the star of the sacred ear. Vishnu crossed the universe in three steps; Shravana crosses it by listening. It rules learning, teaching, media, and the thread of wisdom passed from voice to voice.

Moon in Shravana (janma nakshatra)
A Moon in Shravana learns everywhere it goes — it is the confidant, the student, the one who actually heard what was said.
In Vedic astrology the Moon's nakshatra matters more than the familiar Sun sign: it colors the emotional instincts and — through its ruler, Moon — sets where your Vimshottari dasha sequence begins.
