Shravana means "Hearing" or "To Listen." Its deity is Vishnu, the Preserver of the Universe. Vishnu is the all-pervasive energy that sustains life. The mythology connects Shravana to the story of Vamana (the Dwarf Avatar of Vishnu) who took "Three Steps" to cover the universe. The symbol of Shravana is Three Footprints. This signifies that Shravana natives can cover vast distances—mentally or physically—in short steps. They are expansive. The primary symbol is the Ear. This is the star of oral tradition, Vedas, and listening. In ancient times, knowledge was not written; it was heard (Shruti). Shravana natives are the keepers of this wisdom. They are the scholars, the students, and the listeners. They learn by listening. The connection to Vishnu brings a quality of organization and preservation. Shravana natives like to keep things in order. They are often very polite and tactful (hearing what others need). They are the diplomats who listen to all sides before speaking. However, the "Ear" also signifies gossip. Shravana natives can be prone to listening to rumors or being overly sensitive to what others say about them. They need to learn to tune out the noise and listen to the divine silence. The Moon rules this star, located in Capricorn (Saturn). This creates a "Practical Mind." They use their knowledge for practical success. They are not just dreamers; they are doers. The "Three Steps" also imply a methodical approach: Step 1, Step 2, Step 3. They don't skip steps.
