Rohini Nakshatra – prosperity and devotion
The Moon at 21°51′ Taurus in its favourite Nakshatra Rohini opposes the Sun at 21°51′ Scorpio in Jeyshta Nakshatra. Rohini, entirely in the sign of Taurus reflects the energies of Moon/Venus with focus on beauty, sensuality, charisma and charm. However, the primary motivation of this placement is moksha (spiritual liberation).
The deity associated with this Moon Mansion is Prajapati, God of Creation, also seen in its from of Brahma, the creator of the Universe, who bestows creativity and talents in the sphere of fine arts. Therefore, placements in this nakshatra can bring tremendous artistic accomplishments, and with the Full Moon we may all experience our creative activation.
Rohini, translates from Sanskrit as “The Red One” or “The Growing One”. It consists of the five stars in the head of Taurus the Bull, with the red star Aldebaran – the red eye of the bull. The symbol of this asterism is an ox chart or chariot, hence Rohini reflects the need for travel and movement.
Rohini is also known as ‘the star of ascent” brining prosperity and prominence. Under its influence we are more likely to experience transcendental meaning of love, as well as get involved into creative endeavors to the benefit of the society.
The Stars of Feminine Power
All four stars located in the fixed signs associated with Kundalini and female power Shakti (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) represent the occult power within the Zodiac: Aldebaran the power to manifest on the earthly plane, Regulus represents the power to create, Antares the power to transform, and Fomalhaut, the power to connect and build community. As the energies of Aldebaran in the Taurus constellation come with the ability to create abundance, this is the Full Moon of manifestation!
Mars / Moon energies and Rohana Shakti
The power of Rohini is growth, rohana shakti fostering creation on all levels. With the ability to manifest all that we desire, we ought to be careful, and considered under the influence of this Moon Mansion – especially during the Full Moon. With the Moon / Mars conjunction energizing and activating the need to assert our desires, we can also benefit from the energy of the Mars Retrograde and re-assess our goals, as well as gain new understanding of what we truly want, and how to get it! Taurus, an earth sign, signifies that the fruits of one’s actions can be fully realized here. Fulfillment of desires, and artistic expression are supported with this influence.
