The 4 padas and name letters of Shravana
Every nakshatra divides into 4 padas (quarters), and each pada has its own navamsa. Babies born in Shravana are traditionally named beginning with its syllables: Khi, Khu, Khe, Kho.
1Pada 1 · Aries navamsa (Mars)
Mars makes this quarter more energetic, courageous and pioneering, an active side alongside the learning.
2Pada 2 · Taurus navamsa (Venus)
Venus makes this quarter more beauty-loving, practical and warm in relationships, paired with steadiness.
3Pada 3 · Gemini navamsa (Mercury)
Mercury makes this quarter more communicative, intellectual and studious, quick and sharp at learning.
4Pada 4 · Cancer navamsa (Moon)
The Moon makes this quarter more emotional, sensitive and nurturing, with deep attachment.
Shravana compatibility
The guidance below is based on Shravana's yoni (Monkey) and gana (Deva (divine)) and is a general indication only. A precise match needs the full Ashtakoot guna-milan of both charts.
Good match
Shravana matches well with nakshatras friendly to its Deva gana and Monkey yoni, where understanding and communication meet on both sides. A partner who respects their listening nature suits them best.
Needs care
A little care helps with yoni-opposed or very blunt, hasty nakshatras, since Shravana's sensitivity can be hurt fairly easily.
