The Ear That Hears Beyond Words

Moon rules nakshatra, day, and phase in rare triple alignment under Shravana, the Star of Listening. Vishnu preserves what matters through attentive receptivity. The High Priestess knows that wisdom comes to those who wait. Moonstone amplifies lunar intuition. Life Path 1 suggests the bravest beginning may be silence.

Shravana, the Star of Listening, rises on the Moon's own day while the New Moon empties the sky of light. This triple lunar confluence creates a rare portal for inner hearing — the kind of attentive receptivity through which shruti, divine knowledge, was first received by the ancient rishis. Vishnu, the preserver, presides here, reminding us that some truths are maintained through stillness rather than action. The ear symbol of this nakshatra points beyond physical hearing to the subtle faculty that perceives what lies beneath words. Life Path 1 arrives with the energy of new beginnings, yet today's teaching is paradoxical: the most powerful initiation may be the decision to listen before you lead. The High Priestess guards her mysteries with patient silence, her scrolls half-hidden, revealing only to those who know how to wait. In late winter's Kapha heaviness, let warming tulsi and ginger kindle the digestive fire while the Moon invites you inward. What might you hear if you truly stopped to listen?
