Rohini Nakshatra: Meaning
Rohini, fourth nakshatra of Vrishabha, the reddish one of Aldebaran, has Prajapati as deity and a chariot as image; Chandra dasha, 10 years.
The reddish one: Rohini owes its name to the color of its main star, Aldebaran. Around it are the Hyades, five stars on the forehead of the Bull. The fourth nakshatra, it spreads from 10 degrees to 23°20 of Vrishabha.
Its deity is Prajapati, lord of creatures, also named Brahma. Two names for one creative principle. Its emblem is a chariot, a temple for some. What you keep here is what engenders and what carries.
Chandra is on familiar ground here. She leads the dasha of Rohini, which takes up 10 years of the cycle. Her exaltation sits at the third degree of Vrishabha, shortly before the entry into the asterism, and her moolatrikona covers the rest of the sign.
The chariot of Rohini is also used for collective omens. That register concerns the world and not a birth chart; we leave it aside.
Your Moon in Rohini
Chandra is here in its best condition. Between 10° and 23°20′ of Vrishabha, it occupies both its sign of exaltation and that of its moolatrikona. The nakshatra itself depends on the Moon in the cycle of dashas, so your life opened under a lunar dasha.
The portrait is positive from start to finish. A true and gentle speech. Firm convictions, constancy. Looking after yourself, a fine bearing, and that rarer virtue of not envying what belongs to others. These qualities agree with the dignity of the Moon. This is probably someone who is handed the keys before a vacation. The full effect is reserved for a strong Moon.
Its ruler is Chandra: life begins in the Chandra dasha. It sits in Taurus sidereal.
