About this entry
Rohini lies entirely within Taurus, between 10 degrees and 23 degrees 20 minutes of that sign. Iyer's table names Aldebaran as its star. The Moon is its lord in the Vimshottari dasha scheme, with a period of 10 years, and the Brihat Jataka links the Moon closely to Taurus: exaltation at the third degree and the sign as its mulatrikona.
Iyer's translation of chapter XVI lists, for the Moon in Rohini, truthfulness, a refusal to covet another's property, clean habits, sweet speech, firm views and a fine appearance. It is among the longer favorable entries in the chapter. The 1885 and 1905 editions agree on every item.
