Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. R.P. Sharma, Ph.D., Acharya in Predictive Astrology, practising since 1979, Faridabad, India.
What does Shravana Nakshatra mean in English?
Shravana Nakshatra means “the Listener” or “the Hearer.” It is ruled by the Moon and lies in the 22°‑23° of Capricorn, influencing the 9th house of higher learning. The lunar lord imparts a receptive mind, so names beginning with “Shra‑” or “Shrav‑” honor this listening quality.
Which baby names are suitable for the Punarvasu Nakshatra?
Punarvasu, ruled by Jupiter and placed in the 20°‑23° of Gemini, favors names that begin with “Pu‑,” “Pa‑,” or “Pra‑” and evoke renewal and optimism. Examples include Prakash, Punit, and Pragyan, reflecting Jupiter’s expansive and benevolent nature.
How would you describe Shravana Nakshatra?
Shravana Nakshatra is a Moon‑ruled segment that emphasizes learning through listening, situated in the 9th house of philosophy. Its primary yoga, Shravana‑Shubha, blesses the native with a talent for oral communication and a love for sacred texts.
Is Shravana Nakshatra considered good or bad?
Shravana Nakshatra is generally auspicious because the Moon’s gentle influence supports education and devotion. When the Moon is well‑placed in the 9th or 12th house during the native’s Dasha, the results are especially favorable; a simple remedy is chanting the Moon mantra “Om Chandraya Namah” on Mondays.
How accurate are astrological predictions, really?
Accuracy depends on the correct calculation of houses, planetary periods (dashas), and the native’s birth chart. When the Moon, Lagna, and the relevant Dasha lord are examined together, the predictions reflect the unfolding of karmic patterns rather than random chance.
Can astrology change destiny, or does it only guide?
Astrology reveals the karmic framework (graha‑bhava positions) and offers guidance for conscious action. By performing recommended remedies—such as charity to the cause ruled by a weak planet—a person can harmonize the planetary influences and support a more favorable outcome.
Is Vedic astrology more reliable than Western astrology?
Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, precise nakshatra divisions, and planetary periods (dashas), providing a detailed map of karmic timing. Because it integrates the Moon’s nodes (Rahu‑Ketu) and the twelve houses, it offers a systematic approach that differs from the tropical, sign‑based method of Western astrology.
What should I do if an astrologer’s prediction does not materialize?
If a prediction seems off, it often indicates that the relevant Dasha has not yet begun or that remedial actions were not fully observed. Revisiting the chart to check for hidden yogas or consulting the current planetary transits can clarify the timing, and a simple remedy—such as donating to a cause ruled by the mis‑aligned planet—helps restore balance.
