Venus in Shravana Nakshatra (Shukra 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 Venus in Shravana stands in the Moon’s star.

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

Venus in Shravana, Pada by Pada

By rashi, Venus is in a friend's 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. Venus’s strongest navamsa in Shravana is pada 2 (Taurus, in its own sign), and its weakest is pada 4 (Cancer, in an enemy's sign).

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

When Venus Is in Shravana, 2026–2028

• 21 January 2026: Venus enters Shravana, and leaves on 31 January 2026 — 10 days.
• 5 March 2027: Venus enters Shravana, and leaves on 16 March 2027 — 11 days.
• 23 December 2027: Venus enters Shravana, and leaves on 3 January 2028 — 11 days.

Those are the three spells Venus spends in Shravana between 1 January 2026 and 1 January 2029, 32 days in all. Over the same span Venus stands in every one of the 27 nakshatras. The dates are days only; for Venus in Shravana a minute would be more precise than the ayanamsa behind it.

Inside Shravana: what the tables locate there for Venus

Of the 84 complete spells Venus has in the table, in any nakshatra, the shortest is 10 days and the longest 43, and a spell in Shravana is level with the shortest.

• 29 January 2026: Venus meets Mercury at 20° Capricorn, in Shravana pada 4.

Shravana as the Setting for Venus

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 Venus 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 Venus in Shravana; the house it occupies and the dasha running decide what the placement does in a chart.
