Rohini Nakshatra
రోహిణి
Symbol: Chariot
Rohini Nakshatra (రోహిణి నక్షత్రం) is the fourth nakshatra and the most exalted position for the Moon in Vedic astrology, spanning 10° to 23°20' in Vrishabha (Taurus). Presided over by Brahma the Creator, Rohini is considered the most beautiful and fertile of all nakshatras — associated with abundance, artistic expression, and the power of growth. The chariot symbol points to a capacity for carrying others, while the deep red star Aldebaran (Rohini's primary star) blazes as one of the brightest in the night sky. Rohini natives carry a natural magnetism, sensuous beauty, and creative gift that tends to draw others into their orbit.
