10°00′ – 23°20′ Taurus · ruled by Moon · deity Brahma, the creator
Rohini, whose deity is Brahma, the creator, is the growing star — the Moon's own favourite. Its symbol is the ox-cart: fertile, patient, steadily accumulating beauty and substance.
The gift: charm, productivity, and a gift for making things flourish.
The lesson: attachment — holding on to comfort, possessions and people past their season. Named kindly: this is the gift pointed the wrong way, and naming it is most of the work.

| Deity | Brahma, the creator |
| Span | 10°00′ – 23°20′ Taurus |
| Moon sign (Rashi) | Taurus (Vrishabha) |
| Gana (temperament) | Manushya — the human class: practical, mixed, negotiable — at home in the world as it actually is. |
| Nadi (constitution) | Kapha — the constitutional current used in classical matching |
| Yoni (instinct) | Sarpa — the serpent, the instinct-symbol used for temperament compatibility |
| Rajju | Kantha — the neck, an older matching rule read alongside the eight dimensions |
| Quarter | Navamsa shade | Name syllables |
|---|---|---|
| Pada 1 | An Aries shade — the most direct quarter of the star: initiative first, reflection after | O |
| Pada 2 | A Taurus shade — the steadiest quarter: the star's gifts want to become something tangible and kept | Va |
| Pada 3 | A Gemini shade — the most curious quarter: the star's nature expresses itself through words, pairs and exchange | Vi |
| Pada 4 | A Cancer shade — the most feeling quarter: the star's gifts are offered protectively, to a chosen few | Vu |
The pada is the quarter of the star the Moon occupied at your birth. It sets the navamsa sign and the first syllable tradition gives a name. The calculator below tells you yours.
Classical matching reads two birth stars across eight dimensions. Four of them — ease (Tara), instinct (Yoni), temperament (Gana) and constitution (Nadi), 21 of the 36 points — depend on the stars alone, so they can be read for Rohini exactly. These stars pair most naturally with it:
Stars that share Rohini's Kapha nadi — Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Revati — raise the constitutional flag the tradition watches, which comes with listed cancellations and is a conversation, never a verdict. The other fifteen points read from the two Moon signs, which the padas decide; a full check needs both charts.
