Is Rohini your Janma Nakshatra?

The Moon spends about a day in each nakshatra, so two people born on the same date can have different birth stars: Rohini, the Krittika before it or the Mrigashira after it. Enter your birth date, time and place to see which nakshatra the Moon was in when you were born and, with the birth time, your pada.

Rohini is the fourth nakshatra, spanning 10 degrees to 23 degrees 20 minutes of Taurus (Vrishabha Rashi). Ruled by the Moon (Chandra) and presided over by Brahma, the creator, Rohini is considered one of the most auspicious and beautiful nakshatras in Vedic astrology.

Rohini means 'the red one' or 'the growing one,' and true to its name, this nakshatra governs growth, fertility, and material abundance. The Moon is exalted in this region of the zodiac, making Rohini natives particularly blessed with emotional intelligence, charm, and magnetic attractiveness.

People born under Rohini possess refined aesthetic sensibilities, a love for luxury and comfort, and natural creative talents. They are often physically attractive and have a soothing presence that draws others to them. Brahma as the presiding deity bestows the power of creation — Rohini natives can manifest their visions into tangible reality.

The chariot symbol represents progress, material achievement, and the vehicle for carrying one's creations into the world. As a fixed (Dhruva) nakshatra, it is excellent for permanent activities — laying foundations, planting seeds (literal and metaphorical), and establishing long-term projects. Rohini natives should be mindful of possessiveness and attachment to material comforts.
