About Rohini Nakshatra
Rohini is the 4th of the 27 nakshatras in Vedic astrology. It is ruled by Moon (చంద్రుడు) and falls under Vrishabha (Taurus) (వృషభ రాశి). Babies born under Rohini nakshatra are traditionally named with syllables starting with O, Va, Vi, Vu (ఓ, వ, వి, వు), corresponding to the four padas of this nakshatra.
The naming tradition (Namakaranam) is based on the Moon's precise position at the time of birth. Each pada spans 3°20' of the zodiac and prescribes a unique starting syllable. This ensures the baby's name resonates with their birth star's energy and the planetary influence of Moon.
