Shravana and the Moon dasha
Because Shravana is ruled by Moon, a Moon placed here means life opens with a Moon Mahadasha lasting 10 years. That single fact shapes the timing of an entire chart, which is why the birth nakshatra matters far more in Jyotish than the Sun sign most people know.
What planet rules Shravana nakshatra?
Shravana is ruled by Moon. A Moon in Shravana therefore begins life in a Moon Mahadasha of 10 years, and Moon's condition in the chart carries extra weight throughout life.
