Rohini pada 4

Where Rohini pada 4 is
3°20′ of the zodiac, and what falls in itRohini pada 4 is the fourth 3°20′ of Rohini, 20°00′ Taurus – 23°20′ Taurus, in Taurus. A Moon here is named by the syllable Vu and falls in a Cancer navamsa.
What this pada adds
its navamsa and its aimRohini in Brihat Jataka (16.2) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Rohini is truthful, clean in habits, sweet of speech, firm in their views and good-looking, and does not covet what belongs to others. (Chapter 16 reads several nakshatras in each verse, one after another.) The text reads the nakshatra as a whole; the pada refines it through its navamsa, below.
Rohini gives the Moon its nature through Chandra; pada 4 sends it into a Cancer navamsa, ruled by Chandra. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Chandra colours what Rohini gives.
Here the navamsa lord is Chandra again, the nakshatra’s own lord, so the pada doubles its nature.
The pada tradition reads each quarter by its navamsa’s element: a water navamsa makes this a Moksha pada, turned towards release, inner life and letting go.
Names for Vu (वू)
the naam akshar of this pada, for a namkaranAlmost no Hindi names begin with Vu (वू). Families then often choose a name that begins with the nearest sound, or one of the nakshatra’s other syllables, and use Vu in the namkaran rite itself.
