The lunar mansion
Beauty · growth · abundance
Rohini is the zodiac's fertile centre. It draws things toward it, grows them patiently, and finds meaning in beauty, comfort and creative plenty.
Where it sits in the zodiac
Rohini spans 13°20′. It begins in Taurus and ends in the same sign. Because nakshatras do not align with sign boundaries, a planet in a sign can be carrying the flavour of two different lunar mansions.
The four padas
Each nakshatra is divided into four padas of 3°20′. The pada adds a further layer of nuance and is used in divisional charts such as the navamsa.
Pada 110° 00′ Taurus — 13° 20′ Taurus
Pada 213° 20′ Taurus — 16° 40′ Taurus
Pada 316° 40′ Taurus — 20° 00′ Taurus
Pada 420° 00′ Taurus — 23° 20′ Taurus
The ruling planet
Rohini is ruled by Moon, the planet of manas · mind, instinct, belonging. The dasha sequence begins from this planet when your Moon is in this nakshatra.
