Rohini Nakshatra: The Star of Beauty, Abundance, and Divine Grace

Rohini is the star everyone quietly envies. It sits in Vrishabha (Taurus), it’s ruled by Chandra (the Moon), and its deity is Brahma, the creator. Its symbol is a cart or chariot loaded for a journey. The theme is growth, beauty and abundance — Rohini is where things bloom. The Moon is exalted in this part of the sky, which is why these natives have such natural magnetism.
