Rohini Nakshatra · Lord Moon · Taurus · Astrovene
Rohini sits in the heart of Taurus, forty degrees to fifty-three degrees twenty minutes. The Moon lords it, Brahma presides, its symbol is a cart, and its name means the red one.
The Moon is said to be at its most comfortable here, and the tables bear it out: the Moon's moolatrikona arc covers the whole of Rohini. Its single deepest exaltation degree sits a little earlier, in Krittika, a distinction the two are routinely run together and worth keeping. Of all twenty-seven, this is the nakshatra most closely associated with growth that can be seen and touched.
The cart is what carries a harvest, not what races. Brahma as presiding deity is the same point made differently: the creator, not the destroyer or the preserver. Fertility, cultivation and the pleasure of things that ripen are the traditional associations, and they are unusually consistent across sources, which is not true of every nakshatra in this family.
All four padas fall in Taurus, with the navamsa moving through Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer. The second pada is Taurus in both rasi and navamsa, so the nakshatra doubles down on its own sign there. The fourth pada's Cancer navamsa is the Moon's own sign, where Rohini's softness is most pronounced.
In the Vimshottari cycle the Moon carries ten of the hundred and twenty years. A Rohini birth begins inside a Moon mahadasha and passes next into Mars. The cycle is built this way for everyone born under this nakshatra; what any of it delivers is not a question a nakshatra page can answer.
The gana is manushya. Take the lord, the deity and the gana as settled, because no lineage argues about them. Treat the serpent yoni, the bird and the tree as the reading of a particular school rather than a fact about the nakshatra, because those are exactly where the schools part company.
