When you think Rohini in Akshatra which is ruled in animal and bird kingdom by a cobra and owl
you think magnetism, physical magnetism, you think charm, you think immobilizing someone with their charm, physical charm
You think of hunting skills and stealth like an owl at night
Without further ado, let's get into it
Music
Before we get into the nakshatra let us examine what the instinct houses mean in Vedic Astrology, what could it be?
It's marked over there, house number one, house number four, house number five, house number eight and house number twelve as marked there
You should check the planets or the lords of the houses and which nakshatra they decide in to get the instinctual level of things
because we are only working with instinct and totems in this series here for every nakshatra
So the first house of the ascendant represents the head, the self, one's personality, physical body, thinking process, intuition and logic, self-identity and expression
The fourth house is associated with the heart center, home, family, emotional contentment, homeland, local community
It can provide information about a person's instinctual need for security, comfort and their home surroundings and relationship to all these areas of life
That's house number four
Look at how house number one and four become very instinctual, okay? Maybe you never thought of that
House number five is associated with the naval chakra, the belly button, the creative intelligence, the self-expression as identity, your courtship behaviors, romance and such
Learning and intelligence and intellectual bent of mind, where does your mind go?
That's house number five, creative intelligence. It also means children
And therefore instinctual parenting attributes. It also means past life karma
House number eight is associated with root chakra, the sexual center
Your innate sense of security. What does it mean to be secure for you? Are you feeling secure or insecure? House number eight will tell the story
Handling of changes of life. Everybody's life has changes as they go through it, right?
How do you handle those changes is the attributes of the eighth life instinct
It also means hidden truths. It also dictates the type as well as the intensity and instincts regarding your populate experiences
What does it mean? Copulatory experiences. How do you deal with sex? What does it mean to have sex with another person for you individually? How do you experience it?
That's eighth house matter. That's also like you very well know it's all instinct based
So the lord of the eight and eight lord of the eight nakshatra, for example, if you see that that will dictate the instinct level
House number 12 is next house number 12 is associated with
Subconscious mind psychology your dream time. What do you dream?
Your hidden desires exploration of the psychic and the hidden realms. That's 12 thousand last one the moon placement house
Where is the moon placed in your chart? It may be placed in any one of these houses one four five eight and twelve
Or it may be placed as the lord of one of these in some other houses. It doesn't matter where the moon is placed
But the moon's nakshatra is vital to consider when you talk about instinct, especially emotional instinct and reactivity of a person
Okay, now let's get into nakshatras. So let's start examining the deeper esoteric aspects of Rohini nakshatra
In regards to instinct and totem symbols
So first of all Rohini is characterized by two
Animals one bird here owl and the other one snake a cobra
First of all the nakshatra a temperament is manushra
So it will always have an instinct towards more in the human plane of things
We are nice you throw so it wants to work type is balanced
But it is a creator so it requires a creator energy to transform
Which is it must find its inner love charm and magnetism both owl and cobra very charming animals
To produce fruit that feeds the world
That's the life lesson that's the core
So now we got to remember it's a rages energy falls in the rages energy fixed sign of torus
It's a female sign so it's very internally focused
Ruled by Venus and it falls in the earth sign
These are the symbologies you got to go through
Let's see owl first as an instinct they are nocturnal animals as we all know
Owls are primarily nocturnal birds with an instinctual preference for hunting and activity during the night
The ride of the bat
Owls are a nocturnal creature it gives the energy of Rohini as someone who wants to hunt through the darkness
Predatory nature owls are natural predators with adaptations for hunting
Exceptional night vision a silent flight and sharp talons for capturing prey
So it's more of a carnivorous bird
Solitary hunting owls often hunt alone
See there there's another instinct level relying on instinctual hunting skills
Especially if it falls in your fourth or fifth house this will become dominant
Nesting and mating habits owls have instinctual behaviors relating to nesting and mating including selecting the nesting sites on trees locations
Camouflage and silent flight skills owls have an instinctual ability to blend into their surroundings and fly silently
So silence is a dominant theme as a bird
Now let's see the cobra venomous predator
Cobras are venomous snakes with natural instinct to use the venom to immobilize their prey
So Rohini dominance in your instinctual houses which I've just covered will tell you this nature
They want to immobilize people with their charm
Solitary behavior again, solitary same as owls see the commonality there
Cobras are primarily solitary territorial reptiles
So there's a reptilian complex nature to them
Ambush predators, cobras are instinctive ambush predators relying on stealth as their ability to strike quickly
So cobra is something like a typical reptilian lies in weight and goes in bounces at the right time
It's got a hooding instinct, cobras have an instinctual behavior of spreading their hoods like you can see here
And appear larger and more threatening when they feel threatened or prepared to strike
So in this instinct of Rohini nakshatra will be dominant when you kind of try to attack them with something
Spreading their hood, spreading their charm, their rages, their magnetism of torus
Thermoregulation, cobras exhibit instinctual behaviors to regulate their body temperature by basking in the sun
Seeking shade as needed to maintain their optimal body temperature range
So these are the two instincts see how this plays out if you have a dominant Rohini in any one of your charts natal or divisional charts
Now let's get into the total symbology of it
The esoteric deeper meaning of owl and snake
Now the esoteric meaning of owl
First one being wisdom and intuition
Owls are often known as wise and intuitive animals
Birds, their total meaning emphasizes importance of tapping into one's own inner wisdom
And trusting one's own instincts, this is a big one for us humans isn't it?
We don't know when it is intuition or when it is just a mind game
Typically this becomes a challenge for us although we have both intellect and intuition
Owls if they appear in your life or if you have Rohini in a chakra dominant
You need to rely on your instinct
Mystery and secrets, owls are creatures of the night
Again there's the night symbology
Hunting for light through darkness often associated with mystery and uncovering hidden truths once again
If owls are appearing you need to uncover some hidden truths of your life
Or if you have Rohini in a chakra dominant
In your chart their total meaning may symbolize
Need to explore unknown secrets, unravel the secrets
Especially if this is in the 8th house
Because 8th house in your chart is a chart, it's a place of instinct like I just spoke
Silence in stealth, owls are known for the silent flight and stealth
This totem may encourage individuals to move through life with discretion
Observing their surroundings without drawing unnecessary attention
Especially I can see since a 12th house thing here
Silence and stealth and night, if Rohini is appearing more in your 12th house this becomes dominant
You need to wait
Spirituality of the unseen, owls are sometimes associated with spiritual and unseen realms
Their totem may symbolize a connection to spiritual world once again, the 12th house
If Rohini or Moon or your Ascendant is in Rohini
You have more access to spiritual world and hidden aspects of existence
That's the owl
Now let's see the cobra aspects, totem symbol
When you speak of the snake and the cobra it is typically a mystical symbol
Even the medical science has got that, I always forget that name, what is it called?
The two snakes enter dwelling around a sword
I forget the name, if you know the name just stick it in the comment box
Transformation and rebirth, cobras are often associated with transformation and rebirth due to their ability to shed the skin
Rohini must undergo transformation
Leaving their old self behind is the symbology of shedding the skin
Their totem meaning symbolizes opportunity for personal growth and shedding old habits and embracing change
Once again, if it's in the 8th house Rohini nakshtra
With some planets there in Rohini nakshtra this becomes dominant theme
Transformation because 8th house is the instinct house of change, transformation in life
Power and energy
You never thought of it this way, isn't it?
Cobras are regarded as powerful energy creatures, their totem symbolizes personal power, vitality and ability to harness one's energy to overcome challenges
Where would this be dominant? 1st house
Self, personal power is 1st house
So you need to think of power and energy if your ascendant is in Rohini and planets and points
Like Mercury for example, Mercury Venus, this is ruling Venus, is ruling the zodiac, Taurus
So it becomes dominant theme if this is in your ascendant, your personal power, your personal magnetism
So to speak
Mystery and hidden knowledge
Cobras are often seen as creatures of mystery, they are associated with hidden knowledge
Their totem may encourage individuals to explore mysterious side of life and seek deeper meanings
8000, 12000 instincts
Both 8 and 12000, I would say, if Rohini is appearing dominant in your 12000 or in your 8000
This becomes a dominant theme
You got to pay attention, if you can especially see owls or snakes, symbols appear anywhere
Maybe not just the animal of bird itself but as you see pictures of it
Totems are often symbols which people see again and again, right? Everybody has seen this
Balance and duality, Cobras are often depicted with hooded displays
Symbolizing the balance between opposing forces and duality
Their totem can represent the importance of finding harmony and equilibrium in life
Let us conclude
So it has got charm, both of these animals have charm, this bird owl and this snake cobra
It is falling in the female side, so it is highly intuitive by nature
It is transformative because there is snake there
It can hunt in the night because there is owl there
It has to wait for its prey patiently like a reptile, like the cobra
Both of these animals have charm and magnetism which is the highlight of Rohini Ningshetra
I will see you in the next one
Meanwhile, take care, be safe
