Current Moon Phase

Shravana

Shravana, the 22nd lunar mansion is also known as the star of learning. It is affiliated with the Goddess Saraswati, who brings creative inspiration and insight, flowing speech and knowledge.

This Asterism contains the 3 stars in the constellation of Aquila, the Eagle, which also represents the three footprints of Vishnu.   Vishnu, the preserver and the consort of Goddess Lakshmi is the upholder of Universal Law (Dharma) and the social mores that resonate with Divine Law.

Saturn and the Moon each rule this Lunar Mansion. The power of Shravana can connect us with our appropriate path in life and our innate talents.

Teaching and writing skills can be experienced here and also a desire to be of service to humanity. Time alone for reflection, study and revitalization are beneficial to connecting with and allowing these gifts to blossom and for guidance on the path to unfold.

Expressed through shadow the energies of Shravana can bring a fixed nature or rigidity. Too much attention may be focused on gossip or too much power given to the opinion of others.

The primary motivation is material prosperity (Artha),  but feelings of inferiority or sensitivity to the opinions or approval of others need to be overcome before we gain the confidence in our talents that brings success.
