Shravana nature
A good listener and learner, connected to knowledge and tradition. You grow through study and through listening to others.
Deva gana natives are said to be gentle, generous and idealistic.
Dasha at birth
Born with the Moon in Shravana, your Vimshottari dasha begins with Moon, whose full period is 10 years. How much of it is left at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra.
In Kundli matching
Gana, yoni and nadi come from the nakshatra and count for 6, 4 and 8 of the 36 points in Ashtakoota matching. The same nadi for both partners is the one traditionally avoided.
Name letters follow the traditional Avakahada chakra. Spellings of a few letters vary between regions.
