• Chandra in Rohini - has a profound and self-defining core need for emotional security, which expresses via physical attractiveness (Shukra) and wanting to appear as an agent of wealth and sensual luxury (Shukra).

  • Splendid placement for mothers who enjoy being the central figure in their family. Also, curators of values-collections such as natural resource managers, luxury providers, wealth-bankers, or asset managers.

  Chandra in Hasta - has a profound and self-defining core need for emotional security, which expresses via technical excellence (Budha) and wanting to appear as a provider of artisanal skill and craft (Budha).

• Chandra in Shravana has a profound and self-defining core need for emotional security, which expresses via steady reliability (Shani) and wanting to appear as a provider of conventional conformity to public standards (Shani).

"Need Me"

Radix Moon in Rohini = Attracts affection and acquires value -- "Look at Me"

• Shukra-Chandra-Brahma

• Chandra in a Chandra-ruled nakshatra has an identical, perfect relationship.

Fertile, productive, creative Rohini emotionally needs to be admired for being beautiful and for creating collections of assets.

Rohini decorates, beautifies and conserves.

• Rohini has a particular emotional affinity for plants and horticultural activities.

  • Natives love the beauty of fertile lands, especially those lush green-growing places near the cool, moist breezes of the ocean

  • example: Mrs. "Ladybird" Johnson beautified millions of miles of park and "parkway" lands, along the edges of USA highways

• Artistic, materially focused, and sensual. Emotional need to collect natural resources, financial wealth, and beauty-values.

Beautiful eyes.

In the need to attract attention from lovers and supporters, Rohini needs to display their accumulated wealth and values.

Often produces children quite early in life for this purpose. Rohini-Chandra needs a good deal of attention which if not delivered will be demanded.

Rohini indicates emotionally urgent possessiveness and display. All eyes should be upon the native , reveling in the magnificent display of one's beauty and value. One strives to obtain attention and adoration by frequently advertising and asserting one's own value.

Voluptuous

For both male and female, the curvaceous, sensual, pleasure-indulging Rohini-Chandra tends to gain weight over the years. The beautiful coloring and lovely skin remain (along with the constant craving for sensual attention) but a definitely rotund shape may define this sensual body esp in middle age.

May develop a Sensual, plump figure:

• Brigitte Bardot , Rue McClanahan, UK- Queen Victoria I , Elena Kagen

• Benito Mussolini

However Chandra only indirectly controls the flesh-body; if the need for adoring attention is met, one may pursue fitness as a key to ensuring continuous admiration of the body.

• Russia Pres. Vladimir Putin

High maintenance

Rohini folk = emotionally "high maintenance" companions, bosses, and parents who may seem to be overly frequency self-announcers of their own value to the organization.

Rohini's signature emotional need = "look at me, desire me!" So long as the requisite adoring attention is paid, Rohini = a devoted friend, parent, co-worker, leader or spouse.

Emotionally driven luxurious tastes (Shukra) in food, clothes, and decor.

• Overeats

• over-decorates

• Naturally other factors (such as suppression by Shani) could reduce one's ability to fulfill the emotional need for luxurious pleasure.

Fault-finding and impatient

• if they are deprived of the adoring attention which they crave, a resentful Rohini Chandra can develop a Short temper, along with a sarcastic or bitter relationship style.

• If Shukra + Chandra in the kundali, this one may be quite spoiled like a pampered-princess .

Rohini are responsible and capable workers, presuming that :

• terms of the promise-and-reward employment contract (Shukra) = upheld

• Rohini's superiors devote sufficient attention to their well-being in the workplace.

• Chandra needs security.

• Shukra needs both partnership and pleasure.

• Ajaekapada needs to keep moving forward, keep fertilizing, keep growing

Chandra is parochial, local, rooted in nature and the land. Chandra-ruled Nakshatra prefer regular and socially-guaranteed relationships.

Of all the stabilizing and literally "grounding" relationships which create emotional well-being for the Rohini-Chandra, legally assured equal partnership (Shukra) = marriage= by far the most emotionally important.

• Rohini women do a great deal to promote their husbands in the expectation that this husband-elevating will produce more attention for the loving wife.

• Example: Despite being herself the monarch and her husband Albert having no legal power, Queen Victoria I constantly referred and deferred to her husband in public.

As with all the Chandra-ruled Nakshatra , emotional reactivity - responding instinctively without consideration of consequences - will cause the most trouble in life.

• The two most problematic impulses are the emotional impulse to obtain immediate sensual comfortvia food, drink, or touch; and the emotional impulse to defend one's family or loved ones from a perceived attack.

Dishonesty, falsification, and pretense

• All the Chandra-ruled lunar Nakshatra suffer from psychological defensivenesswhich is out of proportion to the scope actual threat.

• Ironically these folk who are quite pure of heart can develop a reputation for falseness and pretense, as a result of putting up a defensive shield which they try to use as a 'decoy' to deflect predatory interests.

• The honest truth may seem like an inadequate defense to Rohini, who may erect a protective facade of perfect contentment (Chandra) in order to mask the human weaknessesof one's self or one's immediate family.

Few Friends; prefers company of the spouse

• Kumbha the rashi of networks of friendship occupies a natural shad-ashtaka 6-8 anglefrom Karkata the rashi of family-protecting, defensive, rooted-to-place Moon

• Rohini's motive is parental sheltering and protectionism. However the resulting false-frontcan ironically prevent formation of relationships with those outside the immediate family group.

• Thus Rohini over-bonds with family (Chandra) but typically has very few friends (Shani, public life). Those friendship which one is indeed able to retain are superficial enough to not threaten the facade, and are typically supported by the context of work (Makara).

Example:

• Queen Victoria I was said to have been obsessively needy of the attention of her spouse Prince Albert, whom she adored. After his passing, she became obsessively involved with her children and grandchildren.

• Notably she had few social friends even during her extremely long life as a widow; she displayed the typical Rohini exaggerated defensiveness, including the facade of perfect contentment, which commentators of the day sometimes reckoned as the merest mask upon a deep immaturity, neediness, spoiled nature, and inability to accept her own flaws.

• She was able to bond however with persons who helped her in matters of governance, which is typical of Rohini whose friendships are limited to contractual (Shukra) arrangements of their work.

Defensiveness (Chandra)

• Psychologically Rohini natives can be frightened of outsiders penetrating one's emotional defenses; therefore those offers of friendship which are not compatible with their life-core marriage identity are often rebuffed.

• the native may appear bossy and superior, when their hold upon wealth (Shukra) union (Shukra) or food (Shukra) is threatened.

Superiority

• While not too pleasant toward their immediate workmates, Rohini will seek nominations for awards and receive recognition from their superiors.

• Part of the defensive strategy is that Rohini likes to judge and discriminate re: who is more special and more worthy.

Excellent for professionals who handle social privilege and acquisitive desire, who seek or claim special recognition or favors= political lobbyists, tribal/ethnic or special interest group representatives, grant administrators, elected officials seeking "pork" for their districts, beauty and dance contest judges, performing arts council, etc.

• Rohini adores children, fine arts and music, and favors a luxurious sensual lifestyle.

• Cooking for family, home improvement, feathering the nest with home ornaments, local environmental clean-up, caring for house-pets who help defend the family (mainly dogs),

• Physically attractive and highly knowledgeable in sexual arts and sensual pleasures, but these arts are nearly always practiced within the protective shelter of marriage and family life.

The downside can be snobbishness and critical sarcasm, feeling that one is better, more attractive, or more discriminating than others. Rohini may look down on common folks who fail to reach their elegant standards. The trait of chronic critical negativity can sour their happiness while it turns the initially lovely Rohini into an unpleasant life partner.

cf. Sigmund Freud, famed theorist of sexual desire

• Fear of neglect

In order to mirror one's own subconscious emotional patterns, one attracts a core partner who expresses Rohini behavior.

When under stress, the native can resort to distancing criticism of the emotional threat as inferior, unattractive, or beneath one's standards.
