ARE YOU BORN IN SHRAVANA / THIRUVONAM/S NAKSHATRA? (Star 22)

SHRAVANA / THIRUVONAM'S, is represented by 3 bright stars, Alpha-Aquilae, Beta-Aquilae & Gamma-Aquilae, and the brightest star is Alpha-Aquilae, having a visual magnitude of 0.93.  According to the puranas, these stars correspond to the three steps taken by Vishnu in his Vamana-Avatar.

There are three main symbols for this nakshatra.  One is a "row of three uneaven footsteps". The other one is a "trident" and followed by the 3rd one, i.e. an "ear".

VISHNU, the preserver among the Trinity, is the main presiding deity of this nakshatra. Its strong relationship with Vishnu makes it having strong organizational ability.  That's why Shravana /Thiruvonam  born are good administrators or executors. Like Vishnu, this nakshatra doesn't believe in hurrying with things.  Some say, SARASWATHI, the goddess of learning is strongly associated with this nakshatra.

It is also said that Shravana / Thiruvonam born can easily fall prey to deception.  Even if they catch a thief, and that thief cleverly gives the circumstances to which he became a thief, Shravana / Thiruvonam born will let him off-the-hook. This is the only nakshatra who do not believe in revenging even their bitterest enemies....they say it loud (revenging) but would not follow through.They would leave it to God to sort them out. In a way, its a Godly nakshatra. Forget about being a policeman if you are born under this nakshatra. Your thieves would be blessed to high heavens if you are a policeman...haha

The primary body parts are the Ears and Sex Organs and is a primarily a "kapha" or watery nakshatra due to its strong relationship with the Moon. Its direction are South and Northwest.

Moon and Saturn are the 2 planets governing this nakshatra.  Moon is the nakshatra's main planetary ruler and Saturn rules Capricorn or Makaram, the sign that this nakshatra falls in. Both Moon and Saturn are intimately connected with the masses and mass mentality.  This is where this nakshatra gets its ability to influence mass opinions.

Its sexual animal is Monkey, which indicates affinity towards affection and playfulness than the actual sexual act.

For those suffering from bad effects resulting from afflictions to this nakshatra, the best remedial worship is to Vishnu, the preserver and the maintainer of all creation.
