Nakshatras
Илана Либ
This book is entirely dedicated to the nakshatras and their padas. So, what do the nakshatras provide us with? They are very important when analyzing relationships between people, as they are connected to our consciousness, revealing the psychology and inner world of a person – their attitude towards themselves and others. They assist in choosing a profession, in rectification, and are one of the key criteria for selecting an auspicious time to begin activities – Muhurtas.

Nakshatras

Preface
Choosing a favorable time for starting an endeavor (muhurat) is a very important aspect of a person’s life, as these events will influence their fate in the future. Starting a business, beginning construction or purchasing a home, studying, holding a wedding ceremony, going on a vacation or a business trip—all these events can become auspicious thanks to knowledge. Therefore, it is so important to know where the Moon is in the horoscope. The nakshatras provide an opportunity to obtain deeper information about a person (they divide each zodiac sign into groups of stars, and each has its uniqueness), and they help distinguish which people assist in their development, and who will drag us down or even prove dangerous for us.

Nakshatras
While the Sun’s movement is connected to the 12 zodiac signs (a solar division of the horoscope into 12 parts, with the Sun passing through all signs in one year), the Moon’s movement is connected to the 27 nakshatras (a lunar division of the horoscope into 27 parts, with the Moon passing through all signs within 27-28 days). The nakshatras are very important in Vedic astrology, as they influence a person’s thinking, character, intuition, and desires.
The word nakshatra contains three meanings: night, destruction, and protection, meaning protection from destruction at night. Nakshatras are a nighttime division of the sky into 27 houses in the zodiac, with each house containing 13 degrees and 20 minutes. If we multiply 27 by 13 degrees and 20 minutes, we get 360 degrees, which constitutes the full circle of the zodiac.
Nakshatras are groups of stars, called lunar mansions, that are used for horoscope reading and obtaining deep information about a person’s nature, inclinations, habits, and many other things. The nakshatras are divided into groups based on their directional view: looking down, up, or forward.
Adho Mukha – Nakshatras looking down, a group meant for investigating deep questions, learning something profound, delving into spiritual matters, and are also intended for meditation, grounding, and burial. Nakshatras belonging to this group include:
Bharani, Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Vishakha, Mula, Purvashadha, Purva Bhadrapada.
Urdhva Mukha – Nakshatras looking up, this group is used for success in matters directed upwards (towards the sky). It’s about getting a job, increasing status, career improvement, airplane travel, planting, and financial investment. Nakshatras belonging to this group include:
Rohini, Ardra, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Uttarashadha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Uttara Bhadrapada.
Tiryanga Mukha – Nakshatras looking forward, meant for supporting matters that require continuation or continuity, improvement of something serious (production, creation). Nakshatras belonging to this group include:
Ashwini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Jyeshta, Revati.
When we combine the solar type of horoscope division with the lunar type, we get 108 parts, called Navamsha or padas. Each nakshatra is divided into 4 parts of 3 degrees and 20 minutes each. These parts are called padas. Each pada carries the characteristics of a particular zodiac sign, starting from Aries. The four padas are symbolically associated with the four goals of life: Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. The first pada is always a fiery pada, the second – earthy, the third – airy, and the fourth – watery. Likewise, the padas correspond to the goals of a person’s life. If a person has more planets in the first pada in the horoscope, then Dharma (duty, spiritual purpose) is important to them; in the second – Artha (material matters); in the third – Kama (fulfillment of desires); and in the fourth – Moksha (the end of the life cycle and death).
Each nakshatra has its sequential number and a planet that rules over it.


The energies of the ruling planet influence the characteristics of the Nakshatra. Every planet and the rising sign (Lagna, ascendant) have a Nakshatra responsible for them. In this way, it is possible to check how your Nakshatra interacts with the Nakshatras of other people and what results this may bring (something positive or negative, dangerous). Health conditions, career development, and personal relationships can be checked according to the Nakshatras.
Janma Nakshatra – the star constellation where the Moon is located at the time of birth, is the most important Nakshatra. It can be calculated separately online or received during the horoscope calculation. If you know in which sign and degree the Moon is located in the birth chart, as well as the degrees each Nakshatra occupies, you can determine in which Nakshatra the Moon is found (the same applies to the Nakshatra of the ascendant sign and the Nakshatras of the other planets). The birth Nakshatra (Janma Nakshatra) shows which planetary period the person’s life began from.
Lagna Nakshatra – the star constellation occupied by the Lagna (ascendant sign) at the time of birth. This Nakshatra is also very important. It shows the external expression of the person, how they present themselves, how other people see them. Sometimes, the Janma Nakshatra matches the Lagna Nakshatra in a person, meaning it is the same Nakshatra (the Moon is in the first house and in the same Nakshatra as the ascendant sign).

Shakti
Shakti is the power, energy, that exists in every Nakshatra. We or our lives may change in the presence of a person with a certain Shakti from their Janma Nakshatra or Lagna Nakshatra. If we spend a lot of time with someone, their Shakti affects us, and our Shakti affects them. Because of this, it is also possible to choose a good time to do something. Thus, there are people who lead us to victory, and people who drag us down. The days when the Moon is in a certain Nakshatra, or a person born in that Nakshatra, can help us achieve our goals. The Shakti of our Janma Nakshatra and Lagna Nakshatra should be analyzed together with the Nakshatras of people who interest us.
Ashwini
Ashwini gives the power to achieve goals quickly, to obtain the necessary things in life. This applies to both material and spiritual matters. If a person begins interacting with an Ashwini personality, they will acquire the energy to achieve goals swiftly. If you must get results quickly, you should act when the Moon passes through Ashwini in the transit chart or find a person whose ascendant sign or Moon is in Ashwini (Ashwini Shakti).
Bharani
Bharani – the power to take and keep moving forward. Such power takes what is unnecessary. If you want to get rid of something, put an end to something, and then move forward, there must be a connection to Bharani Shakti (help from a Bharani personality or getting rid of something unnecessary when the Moon enters Bharani in the transit chart).
Krittika
Krittika – the power to burn and purify in a material sense. This is spiritual Shakti. If you talk to a representative of the Krittika Nakshatra, they will help you break free from material attachments. This helps when a person constantly worries about money, the fear of losing something. Krittika Shakti gives the opportunity to gain inner freedom, significant spiritual progress.
Rohini
Rohini – the power of growth and creation. Everything that needs to grow, begin, or move from a stuck place, something that has been unsuccessful for a long time, will be helped by Rohini Shakti (starting action when the Moon passes through Rohini or interacting with a Rohini personality).
Mrigashira
Mrigashira – the power to fulfill desires and bring joy, satisfaction. Mrigashira Shakti helps those who cannot get what they want and do not feel satisfaction from their actions.
Ardra
Ardra – the power to apply effort and ability to achieve. If there is not enough willpower, Ardra Shakti can help. At first, it removes something that hinders the person, and afterward helps to begin something new or start something new, as well as achieve what is desired through opportunities and efforts.
Punarvasu
Punarvasu – the power of accumulating wealth and assets. It is beneficial to be around such individuals in order to acquire and accumulate. Partnering with them in business will be successful – it will bring profits, and the business will be well-preserved. The Moon in this nakshatra helps with accumulation.
Pushya
Pushya – grants the Shakti for creative power, spirituality, and also the power to manage (for example, a spiritual teacher – a Pushya personality). The Shakti of this nakshatra enables significant development in these directions.
Ashlesha
Ashlesha – the power to destroy harmful forces, disarming them through poison. It is the power to neutralize enemies (not literally). Ashlesha personalities can help with this by neutralizing adversaries with their energy.
Magha
Magha – the power to gain opportunities to avoid attachments to the body and to understand opportunities to leave the body. The Shakti of this nakshatra is suited for highly spiritual matters and can partly aid in healing. Suffering from illnesses often happens due to a strong attachment to the physical body (such as fear of death). Magha helps to understand that this suffering is insignificant in comparison to spiritual life, which is our true essence. A Magha personality can help in realizing this.
Purva Phalguni
Purva Phalguni – the power to create something new and unite opposites. This nakshatra is auspicious for renewal, to start everything anew, and change one’s life. The power of this Shakti can give the understanding of how to unite what seems un-unifiable and to find mutual understanding with someone.
Uttara Phalguni
Uttara Phalguni – the power to thrive through marital connections. This Shakti brings prosperity in all areas, especially in love. Consulting a Uttara Phalguni personality can be helpful in these matters.
Hasta
Hasta – the power to receive what one seeks, to place the object of desire into one’s hands. It provides the energy to achieve desired results or the opportunity to find what the person couldn’t previously, or to gain what truly belongs to them, even if they were unaware of it.
Chitra
Chitra – the power to accumulate good karma (Purva Punya) and merits. Those who are tired of difficult life events receive good fortune through a Chitra personality.
Swati
Swati – the power to create change and transform, the ability to disperse, like the wind. With a Swati personality, one can undergo significant transformation, whether it’s letting go of certain habits or reaching a new level. Such individuals can help foster inner change, let go of the old, bring more ease, create changes, and provide opportunities to reach a new level materially (in business, for example) or spiritually.
Vishakha
Vishakha – the power to attain and reveal the hidden, to make the unseen visible. Beneficial for those seeking to unravel a secret, a truth, or to discover something long concealed. Talking to a Vishakha personality can help with this. If you yourself are a Vishakha personality, it will be very difficult for others to hide anything from you.
Anuradha
Anuradha – the power of worship, faith, and spiritual practices. This does not include material life. You need someone to support your spiritual efforts. The power of worship – people who engage in spiritual practices, pray, fast, worship the divine, or are spiritual teachers. Anuradha Shakti gives such people power. It is also suitable for those engaged in Eastern psychology, esotericism, and astrology.
Jyeshta
Jyeshta – the power to rise above the fear of death and dangers, the power of mastery over the subconscious. This is connected to material life and attachment to materiality. Jyeshtha Shakti helps to overcome the fear of death and other phobias, helping one to rise above them, granting freedom and strength. It teaches not to belittle life or act foolishly out of fear.
Mula
Mula – the power to destroy and eliminate things. For example, if something brings good, Mula Shakti will not assist with it. However, it will help in destroying something harmful.
Purva Ashadha
Purva Ashadha – the power of enthusiasm and inspiration. Purva Ashadha Shakti grants inspiration for action. If enthusiasm is needed, it will be beneficial to discuss matters with a Purva Ashadha personality or begin something when the Moon is in this nakshatra.
Uttara Ashadha
Uttara Ashadha – the power to grant lasting victory in all directions. This can be related to business or competitors. Consulting a Uttara Ashadha personality will help secure victory.
Shravana
Shravana – the power to unite people into a group or community. This Shakti helps to bring people together, form an organization, support group, or unite friends.
Dhanishta
Dhanishta – the power to grant honor, fame, and material wealth. A Dhanishta personality can help achieve respect in society, money, and fame.
Shatabhisha
Shatabhisha – the power to heal, cure, and provide both physical and psychological support. It is beneficial if your doctor is a Shatabhisha personality, as the treatment will be correct and effective.
Purva Bhadrapada
Purva Bhadrapada – the power to develop and progress (to evolve along the path of evolution). It is good if you are a student of a Purva Bhadrapada personality, receiving knowledge from them. This will inspire a desire to learn and grow spiritually continuously, without losing interest.
Uttara Bhadrapada
Uttara Bhadrapada – the power to provide stability and opportunities for growth. If we lack stability or consistency in something, Uttara Bhadrapada Shakti will help with this, providing security for the future, and solutions to issues related to income and prosperity.
Revati
Revati – the power to nurture and protect, to nourish and fulfill. Suitable for those who work with children. It provides security, calmness, and confidence in fulfilling all that is good.
You will feel comfortable with a Revati personality, especially if they are your partner. They will fill you with spirituality and provide material prosperity, optimism, energy for completing tasks and creation, and freedom from fears related to your future and that of your children.


Using the table here, you can observe what a particular day or person brings to our lives (for this purpose, the first table on page 3 is also used, located above). Detailed information about each Janma Nakshatra can be found further in the text. In the first table, you find the birth Nakshatra (Janma under number 1 in the second table indicates the beginning of activity). The second row is Sampat (in the first table, this is found in the second row after Janma Nakshatra, days, and people who bring wealth, three Nakshatras in the row, and so on, checking all nine Tara positions).

Janma Nakshatra Ashwini


This is the first nakshatra, symbolized by the head of a horse, belonging to the Aries zodiac sign (spanning from 0°0' to 13°20'). Its ruler is Ketu, and the deity is Ashwini Kumara. Those born under this constellation are loyal and strong, usually successful, and maintain good relationships with those around them.
Among them, there are also tough individuals who tend towards unlawful and immoral actions. These are usually people with a pleasant appearance, beautiful eyes, a broad forehead, and a moderately sized nose. They possess great restraint, bringing calmness and composure. The path of life they must follow is Dharma (knowing the law, morality, piety, and repaying debts).
These people can be very loyal, which may ultimately become their "downfall," as they often sacrifice themselves for the sake of their loved ones. They are also known for their high intellect. When they follow their Dharma, they gain confidence in knowledge that comes from above, making them firm in their convictions and highly self-assured.
They are thoughtful in their decisions, and once they make one, they follow it through to the end. Their calm and quiet demeanor serves as a protective mechanism against the fear of criticism and rejection. What others think of them is important to them.
People born under the Ashwini constellation have the ability to successfully navigate many paths and can find themselves in various fields. A good financial situation is not always guaranteed, so they should be cautious not to spend too much money if such an opportunity arises. They may succeed as doctors, businesspeople, in extreme sports, in law enforcement, or in fields involving weapons.
Ashwini Nakshatra representatives value family greatly. They typically have deep love for family members and friends. However, they can be stubborn and firm in their decisions, which may lead to distancing themselves from others.
Destructive degrees for planets in Ashwini in the natal chart: Moon and Ketu – 8° in Aries, Saturn – 10° in Aries. The placement of planets at destructive degrees can negatively impact the longevity of the horoscope owner or bring other troubles unless there are aspects from Mars or Jupiter. It is better not to start new things and to remain cautious whenever such planets pass through destructive degrees in the transit chart.

Padas of Ashwini Nakshatra
Pada 1 – Aries Navamsha (0°0' – 3°20' in Aries)
These are the most combative individuals of Ashwini, as the fire element is very strong here. This pada marks the beginning of a new cycle for any process and is ruled by Mars. Such people cannot help but act, and they do so very quickly. They are not attached to a partner or the opinions of others, being more egoistic than representatives of other padas of Ashwini Nakshatra.
If Mars is located in this pada, the person cannot sit still without doing something. They feel a strong urge to move, without being aware of the reason (this is due to Ketu's influence as the ruler of the nakshatra). If the Moon is in this pada or the Ascendant Lord, the person cannot help but care for others. Any planet in this pada will receive a lot of energy. The areas ruled by this planet will be very active. Saturn, which is naturally slow, finds this pada particularly challenging. A person with Saturn here will find it very difficult to cope with various delays.
There arises a strong need for control, as uncontrolled actions can lead the person to irreversible consequences. This pada is quite dangerous for life. It is actually a Gandanta (the boundary between two opposing elements, water and fire, Pisces and Aries). The placement of the Ascendant or the Ascendant Lord in a Gandanta degree (the last degree of Pisces – the first degree of Aries) can bring danger around the time of birth. The activity of such a person is often associated with heavy physical loads, speed, and risky activities.
Pada 2 – Taurus Navamsha (3°20' – 6°40' in Aries)
These people are calm, stable, and thoughtful in their actions, aiming to achieve benefit and results, and they see things through to the end. They can be very successful thanks to their persistence.
The ruler of this pada is Venus. Hence, possible careers may be in aesthetics, where agility and activity are required (dancing, figure skating, artistic gymnastics, massage, surgery, plastic surgery of the face). There is a strong interest in cars and horses here. Success can come through singing, performing arts, speech, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, gardening, working with trauma, or active biological supplements.
Pada 3 – Gemini Navamsha (6°40' – 10°0' in Aries)
Very intellectual people, using their minds to achieve their goals. This pada is ruled by Mercury, and the person's ideas are heard and spread very quickly.
Planets in this pada give the person the ability to solve problems quickly, especially those that must not be delayed. This pada is characterized by lottery, gambling, and sports.
These people can inspire and motivate others, but they lack practicality. They can come up with good ideas, but it is difficult for them to bring them to fruition. There is an ability to sell a product and express themselves through small and retail trade, logistics, transportation business, or marking trails.
Pada 4 – Cancer Navamsha (10°0' – 13°20' in Aries)
This pada is ruled by the Moon and is the most emotional. These people are sensitive, intuitive, and find fulfillment through caring for others, service, and healing. They are ready to act quickly, heal, and care.
They can work as psychologists, doctors, or delve deeply into another person's situation. They may also have an interest in proper nutrition or be somehow involved in military activities. Their emotions can slow down their progress, but at the same time, these people can act quickly when help is needed. They are ready to protect their family, home, and loved ones. These are very sensitive people, and it’s not worth hurting them.

Janma Nakshatra Bharani


This is the second Nakshatra. Its symbol is a boat, and its animal symbol is an elephant. This constellation consists of three dim stars forming a triangle. It falls within the zodiac sign of Aries, spanning from 13°20' to 26°40' in Aries. Its ruling planet is Venus, and its deity is Yamaraja.
People born under this Nakshatra are focused on justice. However, they often have a heightened sense of superiority, which manifests in subjective conversations with others. Their sense of self-importance may lead them to believe they are kinder and wiser than their peers. They might even compare themselves to gods if they give excessive attention to their personality. If they follow the right path, they will embody loyalty, truth, and purity.
Bharani natives are charismatic, intellectual, and loyal to their friends. They are generally wealthy, though they may acquire their wealth through illegal or immoral means if their sense of self-importance is overly developed. They often rely on their intuition, are eager to learn and experiment, are proactive, and possess strength and patience, which help them overcome challenges.
Physical Characteristics: They have broad faces, reddish complexions (rosy cheeks), long necks, and medium height (those born during the middle of the day tend to be taller). Men are prone to balding but have thick eyebrows. They may be kind and generous but often appear stern.
These individuals are born to lead but lack sufficient discipline. They seek to control all situations, which can lead to problems. Financial success can be difficult due to a lack of self-control. To maintain support, they must continuously invest effort. Eventually, they find their purpose and become successful in their work, eager to explore various opportunities in life. They are dynamic, resourceful, and inventive. They can excel in performing arts (dance, singing, painting, acting), as well as build successful careers as businesspeople, lawyers, surgeons, or administrators.
They are deeply attached to their family, investing energy in their relatives, making them good partners. Typically, they enjoy good health but may suffer from chronic pains, diabetes, and dental issues. They are usually afraid of water and are at an increased risk of drowning. They may also have a tendency toward excess, including overeating.
Malefic Degrees of Planets in Bharani Nakshatra in the Natal Chart: Rahu at 14° in Aries, Mercury at 15° in Aries, Mars and Jupiter at 19° in Aries, Sun at 20° in Aries. The placement of these planets at their malefic degrees negatively impacts the longevity of the horoscope holder, unless there are beneficial aspects from Venus, or it may bring significant sorrow. One must exercise caution whenever these planets transit through their malefic degrees, and avoid starting new ventures during such times.

Padas of Bharani Nakshatra
Pada 1 – Leo Navamsha (13°20' – 16°40' in Aries)
This pada is ruled by the Sun. People in this pada are more inclined toward creativity and leadership, achieving fulfillment through leadership, dominance, and noble impulses. They aim to give and receive, striving to bring prosperity to those around them. This is a team leader who stands out and cannot be ignored.
A person with the Moon or Ascendant in this pada will be highly confident, proud, and sometimes stern, upholding law and order. This pada is closely associated with lawyers and legal professionals, as well as politicians. Such individuals may rid society of outdated laws, uplift morale, and uphold ethics using the power of the Sun.
These individuals are also artistic and can succeed in independent arts. They may be interested in history, dead languages, and ancient civilizations. Saturn in Bharani brings such interests, especially when there is a planet in conjunction with Saturn or under its aspects.
Pada 2 – Virgo Navamsha (16°40' – 20°00' in Aries)
This pada is ruled by Mercury. These individuals are critical thinkers and reflective, preferring to act through intellect rather than brute force, focusing on intellectual self-development.
They are calm and goal-oriented. It is rare for them not to know which goal to pursue, and they usually achieve what they want.
The main characteristic of this pada is its organizational skills and desire to serve.
Jupiter, Mars, and the Sun are particularly strong in this pada.
Pada 3 – Libra Navamsha (20°00' – 23°20' in Aries)
Venus rules this pada. This pada is less harmonious than the previous one in Bharani Nakshatra.
Such individuals often face many contradictions, particularly in their personal lives. They tend to have relationship issues.
This pada is characterized by the ability to balance opposites and a resistance to restrictions in relationships and sexuality. Depending on their spiritual development, this may manifest positively or negatively, leading to the fulfillment of the individual's desires.
Venus, Mercury, and Rahu are strong in this pada.
Pada 4 – Scorpio Navamsha (23°20' – 26°40' in Aries)
This pada is ruled by Mars, making the person indulgent, quick-tempered, unstable, and focused on matters of death.
The individual's work may also be related to death (for example, in funeral services). This pada's energy is extremely intense.
Any planet in this pada is unpredictable. Mars, the Sun, and Ketu are strong here but do not bring good results.
Only Venus and Jupiter can help the person wisely utilize the potential of this pada so as not to harm themselves.

Janma Nakshatra Krittika


This is the third Nakshatra, symbolized by fire or a razor blade, with the animal symbol being a sheep. It is the first Nakshatra that spans two zodiac signs (Aries and Taurus). It covers between 26°40' in Aries and 10°0' in Taurus. The ruling planet is the Sun, and the deity is Agni.
These are decisive, sharp, and ambitious people, with high motivation, sharp minds, and a tendency toward cynicism, sometimes too much so. They have a straightforward approach, dislike beating around the bush, and possess an explosive temperament, but if they get angry, it passes very quickly. They can be stubborn, overly direct, and aggressive, which can lead to difficulties in teamwork.
They often use the respect they receive from family and friends who appreciate them. Their lives are marked by ups and downs. Due to indecisiveness, their careers and activities are diverse and numerous.
Usually, these individuals are of medium height, with good eyes, a large nose, and a broad neck. They are intellectual, free-thinking, and enjoy exploring other cultures and living in various places. They have good, loyal friends and advisors, strive for the welfare of all, and may lose interest in their activities because their successes are often not material.
The problems they encounter can be reduced if they maintain a balance between desires and reality. These people love seeking adventures, and their work life may involve a lot of travel. They prefer to work independently. Suitable careers include being a manager, lawyer, engineer, doctor, or project manager.
For them, family is a source of happiness, bringing internal calm and joy. They have close relationships with their mother and are often happy in marriage. These are loyal people, both as parents and as spouses. Overeating can lead to health problems.

Padas of Krittika Nakshatra
Pada 1 – Sagittarius Navamsha (26°40' – 30° in Aries)
Jupiter rules this pada. These people want to improve the world and elevate it. They are inclined toward public service (politics, management) and can build organizations that change the world for the better. This pada bestows good manners, a talent for investigations, illness, but long life. Planets in this pada make a person determined and resilient. Particularly strong are Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, and Ketu.
Pada 2 – Capricorn Navamsha (0°0' – 3°20' in Taurus)
Saturn rules this pada. These people are more oriented towards the financial domain. They worry and see things from a material perspective. They are the least interested in empty talk and focus on tangible results, particularly the acquisition of money. The Moon here reaches its highest exaltation point, making the person very caring and concerned. Saturn and Mars are also strong here. Mars is more associated with receiving support from others rather than giving help to someone else.
Pada 3 – Aquarius Navamsha (3°20' – 6°40' in Taurus)
This pada is ruled by Saturn. The sign of Aquarius makes these people good researchers and scientists. Saturn may bring limitations and poverty here. This pada gives the person intellect, toughness, irritability, and the ability to learn all kinds of subjects. None of the planets are debilitated in Aquarius, so they can all express themselves well in their respective areas of responsibility.
Pada 4 – Pisces Navamsha (6°40' – 10°0' in Taurus)
This pada is ruled by Jupiter. These people are kind, sensitive, and easygoing. They know how to leave a situation and accept the world as it is. They are inclined toward social work and can join organizations and lead them. This pada fosters teamwork, good education, and philosophical knowledge. It also gives the person a sense of superiority, which can lead to anxiety, making them poor and ill. Ketu, Venus, and Jupiter in this pada interact well with it and use its energy fully. Mercury uses the energy of the pada only partially.

Janma Nakshatra Rohini


This is the fourth nakshatra, symbolized by a chariot drawn by a bull. The symbolic animal is a snake. It consists of five stars in the constellation of Taurus, forming the head of a bull.
Rohini is the first nakshatra entirely located within Taurus, covering 10° to 23°20' in Taurus. Its ruler is the Moon, and the deity is Brahma.
These people are critical and materialistic, often possessing balanced, grounded, and stable approaches. Rohini symbolizes growth and fertility, which can lead people born under this nakshatra to be very sexual and use sexuality to achieve their goals.
They are artistic, unique, and highly value beauty, art, jewelry-making, cosmetics, and jewelry. They have a developed imagination, many talents, and their success depends on their ability to combine imagination with action.
Typically, such people are well-built, tall, with bright eyes and a dazzling smile, expressive voice, and hand movements. They speak fluently, seductively, and display noble manners.
They are not easy to understand, as if they have two sides: one loving, gentle; the other – tough, rigid. They may become aggressive when others interfere in their affairs or those of their family. They might hesitate, and when there’s no choice, accept changes.

They spend most of their time on work rather than family, so their marriage often does not bring them joy. Their constant absence from home complicates communication with children, and they have little influence on their children's upbringing.
Their dual temperament may lead them to chronic depression, growths, drugs, and ultimately, premature death.
They may suffer from lung and heart diseases, dental problems, hearing issues, and paralysis. However, these issues are self-healable through emotional control, gratitude, and understanding of self-worth.
The destructive planetary degrees in Ardra are: Saturn – 7° in Gemini, Venus – 11° in Gemini, Sun, Jupiter, and Rahu – 12° in Gemini, Mercury – 13° in Gemini.
