The Vedic layer: Rohini

Your Moon moves through Rohini, the nakshatra of beauty and growth. You have a gentle magnetism and a true love of the living: your path seeks to grow what you love, without clinging to it to the point of forgetting yourself.

Frequently asked questions

It forms on Tuesday 27 May at 05:02, Paris time, Moon in Gemini at 6°06'.

It forms in Gemini, in the Rohini nakshatra.

The nakshatra is the Vedic division of the sky into 27 sectors, read from the Moon's sidereal position (Lahiri ayanamsa). Here the Moon is in Rohini. The sign itself stays calculated in tropical: this is Elvira's tropical-vedic approach.

These positions are the same for everyone; their personal meaning depends on your chart. You can calculate your free birth chart, or see more clearly in a reading with Elvira.
