Rohini Nakshatra

Rohini Nakshatra meaning & nature

As the Nakshatra where the Moon is exalted, it is one of the most beautiful, fertile and magnetic of all — associated with growth, abundance, art and sensual pleasure. Rohini natives are charming, creative, grounded and deeply attractive to others.

Sitting in the heart of earthy Taurus (ruled by Venus) with the Moon as star lord, Rohini radiates beauty, comfort and material fertility.
