Interpretation of Rahu in Rohini Nakshatra – Rahu in Rohini nakshatra is in nakshatra of its enemy Moon but it is in Venus ruled sign where it is considered as exalted. Common theme around Rohini and Taurus is wealth, luxury and assets. Rahu represents blowing things out of proportion. Rohini and Taurus both would represent beauty, luxury, wealth, conveniences and creativity. So, it shows that this person can have great amount of wealth. They can be someone whom we can call as “Filthy Rich”. They can be in finance/wealth oriented work or they can be in any work related with creativity and beauty. Fashion, Media, Arts and Movies industry can be ideal for them. They can have desire of living a very luxurious or convenient life and they may actually be able to live it. They can be very rich and can even get easy wealth. So, career-wise or financially, this can be an excellent position. But too much of any energy can be difficult to handle after some time. Rahu in Rohini/Taurus can make them over-indulgent in wealth, luxury, beauty and sex. This is where this position can become troublesome for them. As Rahu remains a malefic planet, they may throw-away wealth in unnecessary pursuits of indulgence. They can also take illegal paths to make money

Remember the mythological story of Rohini where Moon was spending most of his time with only one of his wives, i.e. Rohini. Hence, this nakshatra and planet like Rahu here can make person over-materialistic.  

In relationship matters, this position can be difficult as Rahu in Rohini person can have extreme desires and expectations from relationship, especially in matters of sex. Second, Rohini is nakshatra connected with jealousy or insecurity due to the mythological story involved. So, feelings of jealousy, doubts or insecurity can be the reason behind spoiling the relationship. Person can also be jealous of other people’s wealth and materialistic achievements. This position can also lead to fraud, cheating or infidelity in relationship.

Overall, Rahu in Rohini can work best when person is devoted towards creative side of work or in finance/wealth related career.

Role of Moon - Moon's position will become important in functioning and results of Rahu in Rohini as Moon rules Rohini.
