Shravana (Sravana) Nakshatra

All four padas are in Makar (Capricorn).

Tattva here is the nakshatra's own element in the five-block scheme AstroSage also prints (Ashwini to Mrigashira earth, Ardra to Purva Phalguni water, Uttara Phalguni to Anuradha fire, Jyeshtha to Shravana air, Dhanishta to Revati ether) — not the element of the Moon sign.

The naming letters for Shravana are Khi / Ju, Khu / Je, Khe / Jo, Kho / So, one per pada. In the Namakaran tradition a child is named beginning with the sound of the pada the Moon occupied at birth, so the pada — not just the nakshatra — decides the letter.

Where a pada shows two readings ("Va / Ba"), both are in regional use; this page does not pick one for you.

Varna is given per pada because Ashtakoota matching scores the varna of the Moon sign (water signs Brahmin, fire Kshatriya, earth Vaishya, air Shudra). Some tables also assign a varna to the nakshatra itself; those lists disagree from source to source and matching does not use them.

Makar rashi baby names

Shravana means hearing, and its symbols are an ear and the three footprints of Vishnu, its deity. The tradition reads it as the star of listening and learning: natives are described as attentive, well informed and good as teachers, counsellors and communicators, gathering knowledge patiently and passing it on. The Moon as lord makes them sensitive to what others feel. The caution is taking criticism to heart, and worrying too much about reputation.

A nakshatra describes the Moon's position, which millions of people share. It is read as a tendency to reflect on, alongside the whole chart — not as a verdict on a person.

Nadi. Shravana is Antya (Kapha) nadi. When both birth stars share a nadi, Guna Milan's Nadi koota scores 0 of 8 (nadi dosha), so a match with any of these stars starts with that gap: Krittika, Rohini, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Revati. Several traditions list exceptions that cancel the dosha; read the full 36-point report rather than one koota.

Yoni. Shravana is Monkey yoni. The same yoni — Purva Ashadha — scores the full 4 of 4. Its sworn-enemy yoni is Sheep, so Krittika, Pushya score 0 of 4 in either direction.

Gana. Shravana is Deva gana. The Gana koota is directional — the score depends on which partner is the groom — and these are the engine's own values:

Nadi, yoni and gana are 18 of the 36 points; the rest come from the Moon signs and the count between the two stars. Full kundli matching · Matching by name · Nakshatra porutham

Times are for Kathmandu. The Moon enters and leaves a nakshatra at the same instant everywhere, so another city changes only the clock these are written in. The Moon takes about 27.3 days to come back to the same star and stays roughly a day each time.
