3) Key Signatures (What Rohini Produces)
- Primary themes: Growth, fertility, attraction, beauty, luxury, abundance, fame, material consolidation.

5) Shadow Traits (Weakness Pattern)

- Naga/Cobra yoni: intense life-force, seduction, hypnotic allure, secret depth; wisdom can be high, but attachment can bind.
