Shravana
Shravana is the 22th of the twenty-seven nakshatras and spans 13°20' of the zodiac, from 280.00° to 293.33°. It lies entirely inside Capricorn. Its ruling planet is Moon, and that is the single most useful thing to know about it: Moon governs the mind, the mother, and emotional weather, and a person born under this nakshatra runs Moon's dasha first.

Naming a child born in this nakshatra
The traditional name syllables for the four padas are Khi, Khu, Khe, Kho. A child born in the first pada is named from Khi, the second from Khu, and so on — which pada it is depends on the exact minute of birth, because each pada is only 3°20' wide and the Moon crosses one in about six hours.

In kundli matching
In kundli matching this nakshatra carries three of the eight kootas by itself: its gana is Deva, its nadi is Antya, and its yoni is Monkey. Nadi is the heaviest koota of the eight — two people with the same nadi score zero out of eight on it — so this one value decides a large part of any match involving this nakshatra.
