You thread scattered information into one
Your power comes from listening rather than speaking. You hold onto what others let slip, organize it, and hand it back — and that is your value.
Mythology and origins
Shravana is ruled by Vishnu, the preserver. Vishnu is said to have taken birth as the dwarf Vamana and covered heaven, earth, and the underworld in three strides — so one of the star’s symbols is three footprints.
It lies in Capricorn, near the bright star Altair. Shravana means "hearing," and its other symbol is an ear. In ancient India, knowledge passed down by hearing a teacher’s words and memorizing them.
So tradition sees this star as one who draws strength from listening rather than speaking, and who organizes what it hears and passes it on — linked to learning, teaching, and records.

Where the Moon was
In India, where the Moon stood at the moment of birth matters most. If the Sun is what shows on the outside, the Moon is how the mind moves. The highlighted section above is The Listening Moon — the place this person's mind returns to by default.
