Shravana (Shravana) - Four padas

## The four padas of Shravana

Shravana spans 10°00'-23°20' Capricorn, split into four equal 3°20′ quarters. Each pada carries a different Navamsa (D9) sign overlay -- pick yours below.

Shravana, the star of listening, occupies 10°00′ to 23°20′ of Capricorn, ruled by the Moon with Vishnu presiding. Its navamsa sequence hands it an exalted Moon quarter in the second pada and the Moon's own sign in the fourth, a generous allotment for a star about receptivity. Exact spans and syllables follow in the table.

Rashi placement

## Where Shravana sits in the zodiac

Shravana never leaves Capricorn, so the Moon, its lord, listens from inside Saturn's most disciplined sign throughout: attention as work, learning as duty. That is why the star's hearing is trusted; every pada shares Capricorn's patience and its allergy to noise. Nothing across the 13°20′ span crosses a boundary or brushes a junction, and the lord relations run notably calm, two neutral quarters, then friendship, then the Moon at home. The quarters differ in what they listen for: instruction, value, argument or feeling. In each case the Capricorn ground guarantees the second half of listening, the part where what was heard gets used.

Navamsa progression

## How the four quarters of Shravana unfold

Pada 1, in an Aries navamsa, listens fast: the student of action, learning by doing, with Mars neutral toward the Moon. Pada 2 is the star's first summit: the Moon exalted in the Taurus navamsa, where hearing becomes retention and the voice itself often carries beauty; classical astrologers mark this quarter for stable, prosperous learning. Pada 3, in Gemini under friendly Mercury, is the interpreter: the quarter of languages, media and the well-asked question. Pada 4 closes with the Moon in its own Cancer navamsa: listening as empathy, the counsellor's quarter, where the star's discipline finally serves pure care. With an exalted second quarter and an own-sign fourth, Shravana's strength gathers in its even padas; the odd ones supply the questions.

Deity, gana & lord

## The forces behind Shravana's padas

Vishnu, the preserver who crossed the universe in three steps, presides over Shravana, and the three-footprints symbol keeps his stride in view: what is heard here is meant to be carried far. The Moon rules, the gana is Deva, and the combination is the gentlest authority in Capricorn's territory. Vishnu's preservation works differently by quarter: in the Aries pada it rescues knowledge by acting on it, in the exalted Taurus pada it stores it faithfully, in the Gemini pada it translates it onward, and in the own-sign Cancer pada it comforts with it. Shravana's ear belongs to the Moon; what it keeps, Vishnu keeps.

## How to find your pada

How to find your pada

Your pada is read from the Moon's exact sidereal degree at birth. Shravana occupies 10°00'-23°20' Capricorn, and a new quarter begins every 3°20′ within that band, so a Moon near one of the boundaries in the table above can shift padas with only a small birth-time correction. Enter your date, time and place of birth in the free birth chart calculator to get the Moon's precise degree, then match it against the spans above.

## Frequently asked questions

Which pada of Shravana is my Moon in?

Shravana occupies 10°00'-23°20' Capricorn, divided into four equal 3°20′ quarters: pada 1 covers 10°00′-13°20′ Capricorn; pada 2 covers 13°20′-16°40′ Capricorn; pada 3 covers 16°40′-20°00′ Capricorn; pada 4 covers 20°00′-23°20′ Capricorn. Your own pada follows the Moon's exact sidereal degree at your birth, which needs a calculated chart -- a birth date alone cannot resolve a band this narrow, but a free birth-chart calculation from date, time and place settles it immediately.

Do all four padas of Shravana fall in the same rashi?

Yes. The whole of Shravana sits inside Capricorn, so all four padas share the same Moon sign. What changes from quarter to quarter is the navamsa sign -- Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer -- which is why two Shravana natives with the same rashi can still feel noticeably different.

Which pada of Shravana is considered strongest?

Classical astrology marks structural strength rather than luck. In Shravana the notable quarters are: pada 2, where Moon is exalted in its Taurus navamsa; pada 4, where Moon occupies its own navamsa sign. In every case the wider chart decides far more than the pada does.

Does the pada of Shravana matter for naming a baby?

In the traditional Namakaran system, yes. Each quarter of Shravana carries its own starting syllable -- खी (Khi) for pada 1, खू (Khu) for pada 2, खे (Khe) for pada 3, खो (Kho) for pada 4 -- chosen from the Moon's pada at birth. Most families treat the syllable as a meaningful custom rather than a binding rule; for chart interpretation it is the pada's navamsa sign, not its sound, that carries the analytical weight.
