Rohini (The reddish one, the growing one) is the 4th of the 27 nakshatras in Vedic astrology, occupying 10°00' Taurus to 23°20' Taurus on the ecliptic. Its ruling planet is Moon, its presiding deity is Brahma (Prajapati), and its symbol is the cart, chariot. In one line, Rohini is about fertile charm that makes things grow and bloom.
Personality and Nature
Rohini natives are magnetic, sensual and creative, blessed with taste and an eye for beauty. People are drawn to their warmth, and they have a gift for material and artistic abundance. With Manushya gana, the temperament is a human temperament balancing ambition with everyday practicality, while the Serpent yoni describes its instinctive, animal nature in relationships and drives.
Career and Vocation
Natural fit for the arts, fashion, agriculture, hospitality, luxury goods and finance. The Moon rulership adds a distinct flavour to how these natives pursue work and success, rewarding fields aligned with the star's essence rather than those that fight against it.

Compatibility and Matching
In marriage matching (Ashtakoot Guna Milan), Rohini's Manushya gana, Serpent yoni and Antya nadi are weighed against the partner's birth star. Same-nadi matches are traditionally avoided (Nadi dosha), while compatible ganas and yonis raise the score.
