All four padas are in Vrishabh (Taurus).
Tattva here is the nakshatra's own element in the five-block scheme AstroSage also prints (Ashwini to Mrigashira earth, Ardra to Purva Phalguni water, Uttara Phalguni to Anuradha fire, Jyeshtha to Shravana air, Dhanishta to Revati ether) — not the element of the Moon sign.
Four padas
Rohini nakshatra padas, navamsa and name letters
The naming letters for Rohini are O, Va / Ba, Vi / Bi, Vu / Bu, one per pada. In the Namakaran tradition a child is named beginning with the sound of the pada the Moon occupied at birth, so the pada — not just the nakshatra — decides the letter.
| Pada | Degrees | Rashi | Navamsa (D9) | Name syllable | Varna (matching) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Taurus 10°00′ – Taurus 13°20′ | Vrishabh (Taurus) | Mesh (Aries) | O | Vaishya |
| 2 | Taurus 13°20′ – Taurus 16°40′ | Vrishabh (Taurus) | Vrishabh (Taurus) | Va / Ba | Vaishya |
| 3 | Taurus 16°40′ – Taurus 20°00′ | Vrishabh (Taurus) | Mithun (Gemini) | Vi / Bi | Vaishya |
| 4 | Taurus 20°00′ – Taurus 23°20′ | Vrishabh (Taurus) | Kark (Cancer) | Vu / Bu | Vaishya |
Where a pada shows two readings ("Va / Ba"), both are in regional use; this page does not pick one for you.
Varna is given per pada because Ashtakoota matching scores the varna of the Moon sign (water signs Brahmin, fire Kshatriya, earth Vaishya, air Shudra). Some tables also assign a varna to the nakshatra itself; those lists disagree from source to source and matching does not use them.
Characteristics
Rohini nakshatra characteristics
Rohini is the Moon's favourite star in the old stories and the one the tradition ties most closely to growth, beauty and abundance. Its deity is Brahma, the creator, and its symbol is a cart — produce being brought home. Natives are described as warm, attractive, artistic and fond of comfort, with a steady talent for making things grow. The caution is attachment: to people, to possessions and to the way things are, which can make change harder than it needs to be.

A nakshatra describes the Moon's position, which millions of people share. It is read as a tendency to reflect on, alongside the whole chart — not as a verdict on a person.
Compatibility
Rohini nakshatra compatibility for marriage
Nadi. Rohini is Antya (Kapha) nadi. When both birth stars share a nadi, Guna Milan's Nadi koota scores 0 of 8 (nadi dosha), so a match with any of these stars starts with that gap: Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Revati. Several traditions list exceptions that cancel the dosha; read the full 36-point report rather than one koota.
Yoni. Rohini is Serpent yoni. The same yoni — Mrigashira — scores the full 4 of 4. Its sworn-enemy yoni is Mongoose, so Uttara Ashadha score 0 of 4 in either direction.
Gana. Rohini is Manushya gana. The Gana koota is directional — the score depends on which partner is the groom — and these are the engine's own values:
| Partner's gana | Rohini native is the groom | Rohini native is the bride |
|---|---|---|
| Deva | 5 / 6 | 6 / 6 |
| Manushya | 6 / 6 | 6 / 6 |
| Rakshasa | 0 / 6 | 0 / 6 |
Nadi, yoni and gana are 18 of the 36 points; the rest come from the Moon signs and the count between the two stars. Full kundli matching · Matching by name · Nakshatra porutham

Times are for Kuala Lumpur. The Moon enters and leaves a nakshatra at the same instant everywhere, so another city changes only the clock these are written in. The Moon takes about 27.3 days to come back to the same star and stays roughly a day each time.
