Why Moon matters in this chart
If your Moon is in Rohini, Moon is the lord of your first Vimshottari mahadasha. How much of that period you were born into depends on how far the Moon had already travelled through the nakshatra. The condition of Moon in your chart therefore colours the whole early part of your life — which is a far more specific statement than anything a sun sign can offer.
