Rohini Chandrashtama Days 2026-2027: Dates & Times

Chandrashtama is read two ways. By Janma Rasi, people born in Rohini follow the Rishabam Rasi window, when the Moon passes through the 8th sign from Rishabam. Tamil daily panchangams also mark it by star: the day the Moon is in Purva Ashadha, the 17th star from Rohini. This page lists both, for every month of 2026 and 2027.

Rohini nakshatra, which falls under the Rishabam Rasi used for its Chandrashtama dates

Rohini sits in the Rishabam Rasi, so the rasi window below is the Rishabam one; the star-level day is the Moon in Purva Ashadha.

Rohini Nature: Focuses on creativity, material growth, and emotional depth.

Deity: Brahma

Short answer

Rohini's next Chandrashtama

Next star-level day (Moon in Purva Ashadha): Fri, 13 Nov, 5:17 pm – Sat, 14 Nov, 8:24 pm IST.

As of 2 November 2026; the tables below list every date.

Next time the Moon is in Rohini: Tue, 24 Nov, 11:25 pm – Wed, 25 Nov, 8:36 pm IST. See today's nakshatra →

Purva Ashadha lies wholly inside Dhanusu, the sign the Moon occupies during this rasi window. So for Rohini the two methods never disagree: the star-level day always falls within the rasi window and narrows it from about two and a quarter days to about one.

Tarabalam for Rohini

Tarabalam rates any day by the star the Moon is in, counted from Rohini. The count repeats every nine stars, so each of the nine taras comes from three Moon stars. Check the day's star in any panchangam and read its tara below.

  1. Janma (not good): when the Moon is in Rohini, Hasta and Shravana; the Moon is back in your own star; keep the day light.
  2. Sampat (very good): when the Moon is in Mrigashira, Chitra and Dhanishta; wealth and gains.
  3. Vipat (bad): when the Moon is in Ardra, Swati and Shatabhisha; obstacles and losses.
  4. Kshema (good): when the Moon is in Punarvasu, Vishakha and Purva Bhadrapada; well-being and safety.
  5. Pratyak (not good): when the Moon is in Pushya, Anuradha and Uttara Bhadrapada; opposition and friction.
  6. Sadhaka (very good): when the Moon is in Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati; achievement; good for starting work.
  7. Naidhana (totally bad): when the Moon is in Magha, Mula and Ashwini; the weakest tara; avoid new beginnings.
  8. Mitra (good): when the Moon is in Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashadha and Bharani; friendship and support.
  9. Parama Mitra (good): when the Moon is in Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha and Krittika; the closest support.

During the rasi Chandrashtama window the tara for Rohini is Naidhana, Mitra, Parama Mitra, the same every month.

How these times are calculated

All times are in IST, computed from the Moon's sidereal position with the Lahiri ayanamsa: the Thirukanitha method, the same basis Drik Panchang uses. Vakya panchangams, which many Tamil calendars still print, can differ by around 30 minutes at a star change. Days here run midnight to midnight; panchangams that start the day at sunrise show early-morning changes under the previous date.

Rohini Chandrashtama: common questions

Is Rohini's Chandrashtama the same as Krittika's?

By rasi, yes: both follow the Rishabam Rasi window. By star, no: Tamil panchangams list Rohini when the Moon is in Purva Ashadha and Krittika when it is in Mula, so their star-level days fall about a day apart inside or next to that window.

Why does my calendar show Rohini under Chandrashtama on only one day?

Daily panchangams list Chandrashtama by star: the day's entry names the stars whose 17th star the Moon is in. Rohini appears while the Moon is in Purva Ashadha, about a day, whereas the Rishabam Rasi window lasts about two and a quarter days.

Which Moon stars are weakest for Rohini?

Naidhana tara, the weakest, comes when the Moon is in Magha, Mula and Ashwini. Vipat (Ardra, Swati and Shatabhisha) and Pratyak (Pushya, Anuradha and Uttara Bhadrapada) are also unfavourable for starting new work.

Other stars of Rishabam Rasi

Same rasi window, a different star-level day.
