Nakshatra 4 of 27
Rohini
Rohini is growth, beauty and fertility, the Moon's favourite home. It loves comfort, makes things flourish, and holds on tightly to what it loves.
A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Yours is the one the Moon stood in when you were born, measured in the sidereal zodiac. Rohini spans 10°00′ Taurus to 23°20′ Taurus.
Its ruler, Moon, also opens the first of your life chapters (the Vimshottari dasha) if your Moon sits here.
Each nakshatra splits into four padas of 3°20′, 108 in all. Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, so the same mansion can lean four slightly different ways.
