Rohini Nakshatra
Rohini is the Moon’s own nakshatra and his favourite wife in the myth — it sits in the middle of Taurus, the sign of the Moon’s exaltation, and is the most fertile, attractive and growth-oriented of the twenty-seven. A Rohini Moon is charming, artistic, materially capable and deeply attached to beauty, comfort and the people it loves. It can also be possessive and slow to release. The Moon dasha it begins in lasts ten years and is generally a gentle start.

The four padas of Rohini
Each nakshatra is divided into four padas of 3°20′. The pada sets the navamsa (D9) sign of a Moon placed there and the traditional first syllable of a name.
Rohini in a birth chart
- •Magnetism and charm
- •Growth, fertility, abundance
- •Attachment and possessiveness
- •Artistic and material skill
These are the classical themes of a Moon in Rohini. How they play out depends on the rest of the chart — the Moon's house, its lord Moon's own placement, and the dasha running now. The AI astrologer reads all of that together.

FAQ
Rohini nakshatra — common questions
What is Rohini nakshatra?
Rohini (रोहिणी) is the 4th of the 27 nakshatras, spanning 40°00′–53°20′ of the sidereal zodiac (10°00′ to 23°20′ Taurus). Its Vimshottari lord is Moon, its deity Brahma / Prajapati, the creator, its symbol the ox-cart, or a chariot. It belongs to the Manushya gana and the Antya nadi, with the serpent yoni.
Which rashi is Rohini in?
Entirely in Taurus: all four padas of Rohini fall in that sign, so anyone born with the Moon in Rohini has Taurus as their Moon sign.
What is the first dasha for someone born in Rohini?
Moon mahadasha, which lasts 10 years in full. How much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Rohini the Moon had travelled — the balance of dasha — so two people born under Rohini can have very different first chapters. The dasha calculator computes yours to the day.
What are the naming letters for Rohini?
By pada: pada 1 — O, pada 2 — Va, pada 3 — Vi, pada 4 — Vu. Traditional naming (namakarana) picks a first syllable from the pada the Moon occupied at birth.
Is today good for someone born in Rohini?
That is tara bala: count today's nakshatra from Rohini and fold into nine. Sampat, Kshema, Sadhaka, Mitra and Ati Mitra are favourable; Vipat, Pratyari and Vadha are not; Janma is neutral. The card on this page computes it from the ephemeris each day.
