About this pada

Pada 2 of Rohini runs from Vrishabha 13°20′ to Vrishabha 16°40′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Vrishabha; its navamsa is Vrishabha, ruled by Venus. The nakshatra's lord is Moon, so a birth in this pada begins with the Moon mahadasha. In the avakahada chakra (tradition), the name syllable of this pada is 'वा' (Va). Here the sign and the navamsa are the same (Vrishabha); this is called vargottama.

What tradition holds

Tradition holds that Rohini is gentle, steady and quick to notice beauty. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: patience, reliability, good sense with money and resources, and a feel for beauty and the arts. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
