Adi Devo, Maha Devo, Devesho, Deva, Vrind Guru.
Wonderful lines from Vishnu Sahasranama.
We are speaking about the Guru of the Devas, who is Vishnu.
Why are we speaking about Guru here?
Because we come to the 22nd Naksatra of Shravana.
Shravana Naksatra falls between 10 degrees of Capricorn
and goes up to 23 degrees 20 minutes of Capricorn in the zodiac.
So this is as Capricorn. We are in the heart of Capricorn as it gets.
Navamsa goes from Aries to Cancer.
And so what are the life themes, energies and the nature of this Naksatra?
Well, the nature is movable, which means they are constantly in the movement of the mind.
So they have to start grounding in a way that they can produce something practical,
because it is moving a lot.
The Gana is Deva Gana. So they are having an inclination towards learning higher wisdom, higher knowledge, etc.
The deity is Vishnu himself.
And there are stories and mythologies, but we are just discussing the life themes and energies of Naksatra here in this series.
So what's the energy of Shravana Naksatra? If any of your personal planets and points,
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Moon, Rahu, Ketu fall in this Naksatra in these degrees of Capricorn,
it means they have to learn to listen to good counsel.
This is a big theme of Shravana Naksatra, to listen to good counsel when it is given,
not be a stubborn ass about it.
Take good advice given to make progress in life.
People offer us advices from all kinds of common people, even cab drivers, right?
Everybody offers us some advice, unexpected one at unexpected points in our life.
Shravana Naksatra is that kind.
Somebody will offer you an advice, a good counsel.
You need to listen to that and implement that.
Think about it. Go deep into that.
They have a fixed nature. They are clever.
They have social connections with spirituality, meaning they want to go outward.
Remember Capricorn, so it wants to go outward into spiritual groups and participate.
And there they will get the counsel. There they will get their learning.
They are happy and easygoing.
They have a sense of passive receptivity.
Capricorn being ruled by Saturn has a passive kind of receptivity.
And this is sort of the higher wisdom learning Saturn, if you will, in this Naksatra.
Idealism drive is there, especially in the first padha, going into Aries.
Materialistic can be in the second. Capricorn going into Taurus,
two fixed earth signs. It can be highly materialistic and drive to achieve something,
because it's an Artha padha.
They can be clever and shrewd thinking in the third padha, going into Gemini, the Aries sign.
Emotional connection to people can be in the fourth one. Capricorn going into Cancer.
And since this is Gana, it's Dave, so they can be highly emotional in their connect to people,
if the planets are in the last padha.
The life lesson for the Sranana Naksatra then becomes, inquisitiveness of the goal is required to find the path,
not aimless wandering. Why are we speaking about aimless wandering?
Because the nature of this Naksatra is movable.
Something that is like the breeze or the air that is constantly moving,
has a difficult time or a challenge adopting a fixed target and setting your mind towards it, isn't it?
How will you set targets for the wind? It is constantly moving.
That's the issue with this Sranana Naksatra. It's moving from one thing to another.
So, as the symbolism of the year is there, you need to listen to good advice, the council,
and move towards the goal. Now, what is the goal itself?
Sranana Naksatra people need to get inquisitive about the goal in order to find the path.
They need to discover what is my path in life and then go towards it.
Unless they get inquisitive about the path, unless they start listening to good counsel, they will not make it anywhere.
Naksatras can be exalted and have wonderful themes of life, but unless a person does something with it,
you are not going anywhere. The mantra for this Naksatra is Vishnu Sasanama,
because Vishnu is the ruling deity, the governor of this Naksatra, so it can become very powerful for them.
To recite this, listen to this, tune in, tune into the energies, like tuning into a radio station, folks.
The ages active for this Naksatra is 5, 15, 33, 35, 41, 50, 55, 47, 58, and 77.
Moderately active Naksatra, depending upon where it falls in which of the houses and what age you are currently running.
Next we shall talk about Dhanishtha, Naksatra, take care, be safe.
