The wish-fulfilling cow:

"... the cow who, when milked, grants all wishes...all fertile & creative qualities"

~~ Valerie Roebuck, The Circle of the Stars, p. 103

"Prajapati created creatures but thus created they went way. Of them, he thought about Rohini. 

He desired, "May she approach me. May we unite together." One who makes the appropriate offering to Prajapati, to Rohini, his beloved approaches him and he unites with her.

Rohini is a Nakshatra of love, passion and sexuality that is generally fertile and creative, but not inclined to tolerate limits. Because of this it is very productive for almost everything but can draw jealously upon it."

 

~~ David Frawley, Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra

Rohini, for females:

"...a round face, fair complexion, and a very nice figure. Certain parts of Rohini Rising will correspond with a very beautiful face and body. Some of the most beautiful women are born [here]. 

Besides her beauty of face and figure she will have a keen intellect; she will be an interesting conversationalist good at discussion and repartee, yet withal an attentive and interested listener. 

She will be devoted to her parents and her domestic life should be very happy, because her personal inclinations will be clean, honest, and upright.."

~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 92. 

  • Rohini in lagna: [ Julia Child "The French Chef"]

  • Chandra in Rohini: [Mayor/Senator Dianne Feinstein, Ladybird Johnson ]

 

Rohini, for males: 

"...a thin person, decidedly underweight, who has a critical and analytical turn of mind. His critical attitude toward everything and everybody develops, unless checked, into a disposition to find fault continually. 

He is inordinately fond of the opposite sex. But although be may at first be blind to the faults of the object of his devotion, a time will come eventually when his fault-finding propensities will exert themselves in this direction."

~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 80.

  • Chandra in Rohini:  [U.S. Pres. #44 Barack Obama, Sigmund Freud; Benito Mussolini, Sen. John Edwards, Pope John Paul II ]

  • [BPL note: Rohini Moon males are thin & wiry folk until their mid-life, when they gain substantial weight.]

General Description of Rohini characteristics 

-- from Das/ Behari

General

You are normally of slim physique. However, based on other planetary positions and aspects, short structured and fatty persons have also been seen. Your eyes are very attractive with a special magnetic touch. Appearance is very beautiful & attractive, big shoulder & well-developed muscles. 

You are short-tempered. Once you get angry, it will not subside so easily, and nobody can change your decision. You become extremely obstinate if someone attempts to over-ride your opinions or thwart your plans. You remain oblivious to any advice or ideas counter to your own. You have a special knack to find fault in others. 

You are ruled by your heart rather than your brain. While you are ready to sacrifice everything for loved ones, you will not hesitate to cause extreme trouble to the hated. You feel impressed with your own work. Acceptance of the truth and discard of the false is your plus point. Your life is full of ups & downs as you do not try to pre-plan your objectives. You can attain great success in life provided a little restraint is kept in the freedom of your mind.

There is no tomorrow for you. You spend everything for the sake of today's comfort. You can shine not only in any independent profession or business but also in the social work. As far as possible you try to be more sincere & honest in all the work you undertake. But you lack patience & forgiveness. 

You try to be a jack of all trades & in the process you fail to pass through the path of requisite rhythm & system. Your freedom of mind will quite often lead you to downfall. It is also seen that some Rohini born persons have risen from the lowest rung of life to the highest rung of life due to the finest placement of other planets. You may earn from milk products, sugarcane or as a chemical engineer. 

You are best adapted for mechanical and laborious work. Between the age of 18 and 36 will be the most trying periods. You will have to face a lot of problems economically, socially & on health ground. It is often noticed that such people enjoy their life's best between the age of 38 and 50, and 65 and 75. 

One of the primary factors to keep in mind is that you should never take anyone into confidence. You have to be extra careful with business partners & employees. 

There is an inherent drawback in you that you blindly believe others. For a happy existence, it is suggested that you should screen people thoroughly before confidence is bestowed on them. 

While you cannot enjoy full benefit from your father, you will be more attached to your mother & maternal uncle or maternal things. You will not hesitate to throw away any social or religious laws when warranted. Hence your married life will be marred with disturbances. 

You are prone to diseases connected with blood, spoiled blood, blood cancer, jaundice, urinary disorders, blood sugar, tuberculosis, respiratory problems, paralysis & throat trouble.
