Sravana Nakshatra: General
The Sravana Nakshatra is nestled snuggly in the center of Capricorn. This Lunar Mansion is immortalized by the 3 stars that outline Aquila, the Eagle’s wings. Easily identified with the naked eye, the eagle is tucked in at the top of the Capricorn constellation.
It is said that these stars represent 3 steps taken by Vishnu in his efforts to restore order to the cosmos. These steps indicate the tri-modal nature of the Universe and the laws under which it operates.
There are several symbols associated with this birth star and the word itself speaks to 2 key aspects of the region. Shravana can be translated to: the one who limps, and the hearing one. The limping one indicates Vishnu’s celestial footprints and this aspect of the Nakshatra is often represented as the 3 uneven footprints.
An ear also symbolizes this region, which infers a strong ability to learn by listening. An alternate name for the Shravana is Ashvattha, which is a name for the type of tree under which Buddha achieved self-realization. Some Jyotish astrologers combine the symbology and are known to use 3 ears or a tree of ears as their symbol for this area.
