Jupiter in Shravana Nakshatra (Guru in श्रवण)

Shravana, the 22nd of the 27 nakshatras, covers 280°00′ – 293°20′ of the sidereal zodiac, wholly inside Capricorn. Shravana is ruled by the Moon, so Jupiter in Shravana stands in the Moon’s star.

Jupiter counts the Moon a friend, while the Moon counts Jupiter neutral. The table is not symmetric, so Jupiter in Shravana has to be described from both sides, as it is here. The other two nakshatras the Moon rules, Rohini and Hasta, put Jupiter under the same star lord.

Jupiter in Shravana, Pada by Pada

By rashi, Jupiter is debilitated in all four padas of Shravana, because the whole nakshatra lies in Capricorn. By navamsa the four padas fall in Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer. Jupiter’s strongest navamsa in Shravana is pada 4 (Cancer, exalted), and its weakest are padas 2 (Taurus, in an enemy's sign) and 3 (Gemini, in an enemy's sign).

Neither Jupiter’s deepest exaltation (Cancer) nor its deepest debilitation (Capricorn) degree falls inside Shravana, and Jupiter’s moolatrikona lies outside it as well, so in Shravana the rashi and navamsa verdicts above are the whole of Jupiter’s dignity.

When Jupiter Is in Shravana, 2026–2028

Jupiter does not enter Shravana at any point between 1 January 2026 and 1 January 2029. It stands in Punarvasu when the table opens and in Chitra when it closes, having visited 8 of the 27 nakshatras, and from Chitra Shravana is 8 nakshatras further on. So Jupiter in Shravana is, for these years, a birth-chart placement and not a transit anyone can wait for.

Shravana as the Setting for Jupiter

In the nakshatra tables Shravana’s deity is listed as Vishnu and its symbol as ear; its gana is Deva, and the muhurta texts put it in the Chara class (movable). Those belong to Shravana whichever graha is in it, and they are read on the Shravana page. What changes with Jupiter is everything above: the dignities in Capricorn, the relation to the Moon, and the dates. None of it is a prediction for anyone born with Jupiter in Shravana; the house it occupies and the dasha running decide what the placement does in a chart.
