Shravana Nakshatra Pada 3

Shravana pada 3 at a glance

Shravana is the 22th nakshatra, ruled by Moon with deity Vishnu, the preserver. Its pada 3 runs from 16°40′ Capricorn to 20°00′ Capricorn, falls in Capricorn rashi and carries the name letter Jo.

The navamsa of this pada is Gemini, ruled by Mercury, which adds learning, speech and trade to the nakshatra's base nature of being a good listener, learned, respectful and organised.

• Nakshatra: Shravana (22 of 27)
• Pada: 3 of 4
• Span: 16°40′ Capricorn to 20°00′ Capricorn
• Name letter: Jo
• Rashi: Capricorn (Makar)
• Navamsa: Gemini, lord Mercury
• Nakshatra lord: Moon

Name letter Jo and naamkaran

In the naamkaran custom, a baby born in Shravana pada 3 is given a name starting with Jo. The letter comes from the pada, not the nakshatra as a whole, which is why two babies born in the same nakshatra can receive different letters.

1. Confirm the birth nakshatra and pada with the free calculator.
2. Shortlist names beginning with Jo.
3. Say the names aloud with the family name.
4. Optionally check the name number (naam ka ank) in numerology (ank jyotish) as a light second step.

Personality of Shravana pada 3

The nakshatra gives the base: a good listener, learned, respectful and organised. The Capricorn rashi adds a earth, movable style, and the Gemini navamsa adds learning, speech and trade.

Read together, this pada suits people who express a good listener through learning, speech and trade.

• Element: Earth
• Quality: Movable
• Navamsa flavour: learning, speech and trade
• Gana: Deva
• Yoni: monkey

Dasha and timing

Vimshottari dasha begins from the nakshatra lord, so a birth in Shravana pada 3 starts in Moon mahadasha (10 years in full). The balance remaining at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled into the nakshatra.

1. Moon mahadasha, 10 years
2. Mars mahadasha, 7 years
3. Rahu mahadasha, 18 years
4. Jupiter mahadasha, 16 years
5. Saturn mahadasha, 19 years
6. Mercury mahadasha, 17 years
7. Ketu mahadasha, 7 years
8. Venus mahadasha, 20 years
9. Sun mahadasha, 6 years

Shravana pada 3 in kundli matching (kundli milan)

Guna milan reads the nakshatra as a whole: Shravana contributes Deva gana (6 points), monkey yoni (4 points) and Antya nadi (8 points). The pada's navamsa sign is used in deeper chart comparison.

1. Find both partners' nakshatras.
2. Compare nadi, gana and yoni.
3. Use kundli matching by name (naam se kundli milan) or date of birth (janam tarikh) for the full 36 point score.
