Rohini Nakshatra: Star of Ascent
Overview of Rohini Nakshatra
Rohini is the fourth nakshatra, spanning 10 to 23 degrees 20 minutes of Vrishabha (Taurus). Its name means "the red one" or "the growing one," and its symbol is an ox cart or a chariot, representing fertility, abundance, and the journey of growth. The ruling deity is Brahma, the creator, while the planetary ruler is the Moon — making Rohini the Moon exalted nakshatra where lunar energy is at its peak.

Rohini in Mythology
In Vedic mythology, Rohini was the favorite wife of Chandra (Moon) among the 27 nakshatra wives. The Moon loved spending time with Rohini so much that he neglected the other nakshatras, leading to a curse from Daksha. This story explains why the Moon is exalted in Rohini — it represents where the Moon feels most at home and expressive. Lord Krishna was also born under Rohini nakshatra, adding to its divine significance.
