Nakshatra Cluster · Ruling Planet

Moon-ruled nakshatras, the 10-year group.

Moon rules three of the 27 nakshatras: Rohini, Hasta, Shravana. All three share the 10-year Moon major period when the natal Moon falls inside them. The macro signature: nourishment, sensitivity, the reflective surface. Moon-ruled nakshatras anchor the chart's emotional register.

The three nakshatras in the group

Nakshatra	Deity	Range	Symbol
Rohini	Brahma / Prajapati	10°00' to 23°20' Taurus	chariot or banyan
Hasta	Savitar	10°00' to 23°20' Virgo	open palm
Shravana	Vishnu	10°00' to 23°20' Capricorn	ear or three footprints

What Moon's ruling register means

Nourishment, sensitivity, the reflective surface. moon-ruled nakshatras anchor the chart's emotional register. Moon-ruled nakshatras inherit this signature at the broad level, then split into three distinct readings by sign placement, presiding deity, and pada structure. The shared element is the 10-year major-period length and the underlying ruling-planet character.

How the three members differ

Rohini

Rohini sits at 10°00' to 23°20' Taurus with deity Brahma / Prajapati and symbol the chariot or banyan. The macro register is growing, attractive. Read the full deep-dive at Rohini nakshatra.

Hasta

Hasta sits at 10°00' to 23°20' Virgo with deity Savitar and symbol the open palm. The macro register is skilled hand, craft. Read the full deep-dive at Hasta nakshatra.

Shravana

Shravana sits at 10°00' to 23°20' Capricorn with deity Vishnu and symbol the ear or three footprints. The macro register is listening, teaching. Read the full deep-dive at Shravana nakshatra.

What the major period looks like

When the natal Moon falls in any of the three Moon-ruled nakshatras, the native opens life in the Moon major period. The 10-year window foregrounds Moon's karaka register. The nakshatra-specific reading further qualifies the period through the presiding deity and sign placement of the natal Moon.

The Vimshottari sub-period sequence inside the Moon major period runs through all 9 planets in proportion to their major-period lengths. Each sub-period activates a different karaka combination. The full sub-period structure is covered in the Moon major-period overview.

What the framework does not predict

The cluster reads structural patterns at the national-chart level and at the cohort level. Group membership does not generate forward calls automatically. Calibration is by chart and signature class. The framework is explicit about this scope limit.

FAQ

How long is the Moon major period in the Vimshottari sequence?

The Moon major period runs 10 years. It activates when the natal Moon falls in any of the three Moon-ruled nakshatras: Rohini, Hasta, Shravana. The exact degree of the Moon within the nakshatra fixes how much of the Moon major period remains at birth.

What is the macro signature of the Moon-ruled group?

Nourishment, sensitivity, the reflective surface. moon-ruled nakshatras anchor the chart's emotional register. The three nakshatras differ in deity, sign placement, and pada structure, but share the Moon major-period length and the broad ruling-planet register.

How do the three Moon-ruled nakshatras differ?

At the macro level all three carry Moon's register, but each picks up the qualities of its sign placement and presiding deity. Rohini (10°00' to 23°20' Taurus, Brahma / Prajapati) reads as growing, attractive. Hasta (10°00' to 23°20' Virgo, Savitar) reads as skilled hand, craft. Shravana (10°00' to 23°20' Capricorn, Vishnu) reads as listening, teaching.

Does this group share a major-period firing pattern on the corpus?

The three nakshatras share the Moon major-period length but do not share calibrated forward-call windows automatically. Calibration is by chart and signature class, not by nakshatra group. Individual nakshatra deep-dives carry the calibrated context where it exists.

Where does the Moon-ruled group sit in the 120-year cycle?

In the standard Vimshottari sequence the major-period order is Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu, Venus, then repeating. The Moon major period therefore enters the sequence whenever the previous major period closes; the entry point on a personal chart depends entirely on the natal Moon nakshatra and degree.
