Ketu in Rohini Nakshatra
Ketu in Rohini Nakshatra gives the Ketu a more specific tone than sign alone. Rohini is ruled by Moon, symbolized by chariot, meaning "Reddish One" or "Growing One", and it can color the planet with themes like abundance, attraction, beauty, and comfort. This page focuses on that combination, not a generic meaning of Ketu or Rohini.
