Rohini

Rohini is the fourth nakshatra, ruled by the Moon and devoted to Prajapati (Brahma), the creator. Its symbol is the ox-drawn cart or chariot — the vehicle that carries the seed to the field. The span falls entirely in Taurus (10°00′–23°20′), the Moon's exaltation sign, giving this mansion a uniquely fertile, stabilizing, and creative quality.

Rohini represents the power of growth (rohana). Where Ashwini initiates and Bharani endures, Rohini nurtures the seed until it becomes form. Natives with prominent Rohini placements often possess magnetic attractiveness, artistic talent, and a natural ability to attract resources, comfort, and pleasure. The Moon's rulership here is doubled — lord of the nakshatra and exalted in the sign — producing a mind that seeks beauty, consistency, and sensory fulfillment.

The shadow of this abundance is attachment. The same creative force that builds gardens can become possessive, materialistic, or unwilling to release what has been gathered. The cart moves forward only when the ox is unhitched from the past harvest.
