Description
The Rohini (Ruddy) lunar mansion gets its name from the bright red star Aldebaran, which has special significance to most cultures around the world. In Hindu culture Aldebaran became connected to the mythological figure of Rohini, who was created by Brahma as the embodiment of beauty. In the mythological story, Brahma fell head over heels for his new daughter and chased her across the universe, hence the connection of this mansions to themes such as beauty, sexuality and seduction, but on rare occasions it is also connected to darker themes such as rape and incest. The mythological connection of this mansion to beauty and the human body also extends to themes such as plastic surgeries, body building and wrestling, and in its darker form this mansion also appears in the charts of serial killers due to their obsessiveness and fascination with the human body. Despite its dark side, this mansion is considered one of the most auspicious and the favorite of the moon, and as such a great time for starting new projects. In addition, it is believed that in Krishna’s birth chart both the Moon and the ascendant were located in Rohini.
