graha in nakshatra
Saturn in Shravana Nakshatra (Shani in श्रवण)
280°00′ – 293°20′ sidereal · Capricorn · star of Moon
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 Saturn in Shravana stands in the Moon’s star.
Saturn counts the Moon an enemy, while the Moon counts Saturn neutral. The table is not symmetric, so Saturn in Shravana has to be described from both sides, as it is here. The other two nakshatras the Moon rules, Rohini and Hasta, put Saturn under the same star lord.
Saturn in Shravana, Pada by Pada
| Pada | Arc | Saturn by rashi | Navamsa | Saturn by navamsa |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shravana 1 | Capricorn 10°00′ – 13°20′ | in its own sign | Aries | debilitated |
| Shravana 2 | Capricorn 13°20′ – 16°40′ | in its own sign | Taurus | in a friend's sign |
| Shravana 3 | Capricorn 16°40′ – 20°00′ | in its own sign | Gemini | in a friend's sign |
| Shravana 4 | Capricorn 20°00′ – 23°20′ | in its own sign | Cancer | in an enemy's sign |
By rashi, Saturn is in its own sign 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. Saturn’s strongest navamsas in Shravana are padas 2 (Taurus, in a friend's sign) and 3 (Gemini, in a friend's sign), and its weakest is pada 1 (Aries, debilitated).
Neither Saturn’s deepest exaltation (Libra) nor its deepest debilitation (Aries) degree falls inside Shravana, and Saturn’s moolatrikona lies outside it as well, so in Shravana the rashi and navamsa verdicts above are the whole of Saturn’s dignity.
When Saturn Is in Shravana, 2026–2028
Saturn does not enter Shravana at any point between 1 January 2026 and 1 January 2029. It stands in Purva Bhadrapada when the table opens and in Ashwini when it closes, having visited 5 of the 27 nakshatras, and from Ashwini Shravana is 21 nakshatras further on. So Saturn in Shravana is, for these years, a birth-chart placement and not a transit anyone can wait for.
Shravana as the Setting for Saturn
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 Saturn 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 Saturn in Shravana; the house it occupies and the dasha running decide what the placement does in a chart.
