Rohini
Also called: rohini nakshatra
Rohini, the 4th of the 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions), running from 10°00' Vrishabha (Taurus) to 23°20' Vrishabha (Taurus) in the sidereal zodiac. Its symbol is the ox cart. Its presiding deity is Brahma (Prajapati), the creator, bringing fertile growth, beauty, and abundance. Its ruling planet is the Moon, so someone born with the Moon here begins life in the Moon's dasha (planetary period). Its themes are growth, beauty, fertility. Classically it is a fixed (sthira) nakshatra, good for foundations, planting and anything meant to last.
