Rohini

Rohini is the 4th of the twenty-seven nakshatras (lunar mansions), spanning 10°00′–23°20′ Taurus of the sidereal zodiac.

Its ruling graha is Chandra (the Moon), its presiding deity Brahma / Prajapati (the creator), and its symbol the ox-cart or chariot.

Rohini is the moon’s own favourite — the mansion of growth, beauty, and fertile abundance. It is sensual, magnetic, and creative, with a gift for making things flourish. The risk is attachment to comfort and to being desired; the gift is genuine nourishment.
