Nature
Shravana is the mansion of listening. It learns by hearing, connects people through communication and organises knowledge into order. Its ruling deity is the preserver, so it supports and sustains. People with this placement are often good listeners, teachers and communicators, and they absorb wisdom from their surroundings.
Gifts
Listening skill, learning ability and a gift for organisation. You understand people and bring order to information. Your advice is often wise. Teaching, counselling, media and any work involving careful listening suit you well. People often feel truly heard in your company.
Challenges
You may absorb the views of whoever surrounds you, or be swayed by poor advice. Sensitivity to criticism can be strong. You may doubt your own conclusions until someone else confirms them. Criticism can linger in your mind long after it was spoken.
Growth
Choose your influences carefully. Listen widely, then decide from your own inner voice. After listening to others, take time alone to hear your own view. Write it down so it does not get lost in the noise.
