Analysis:
This is not my research. The credit goes to Shri K N Rao, who is a world-renowned astrologer and Guru for all the students of astrology. My humble effort is only in putting it in the current perspective by depicting with past events and decipher the future events. In Vedic Astrology, the combination of planets and nakshatras have immense role to play in native’s life and also in the mundane astrology. Especially a great importance is given to Rohini nakshatra. The planets possess both good and bad effects. The planets Jupiter, Moon, Sun and Venus are supposed to possess good (satwic) qualities. Whereas, the planets Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu possesses bad (tamasic) qualities. Mercury’s quality is of varying nature depending upon its association with other planets.
As per Hindu mythology, Moon God is married to Daksha’s 27 daughters which are 27 Nakshatras in night sky and these are the 27 divisions of the zodiac based on the moon’s daily motion of 13 degrees and 20 minutes. Moon gets its exaltation in Taurus at 3 degrees.
Rohini (nakshatra) a goddess in Hindu culture and the favourite wife of the Moon. She is a daughter of Daksha and sister of the 26 other Nakshatras. As per Shiva Purana, when Daksha gave away his 27 daughters to Moon God. There was an agreement between Moon God and Daksha, that he would not show favouritism towards any of his wives and that he will treat all of them equal. However, Moon favoured and liked Rohini very much as compared to others. Daksha came to know of Moon spending more time with Rohini and gets cursed by Daksha. However, Moon prays to Shiva and gets a boon. During Krishnapaksha Moon would wane and during Shuklapaksha, the bright part of the lunar fortnight, Moon would wax. This explains the waning and waxing moon as per ancient Hindu mythology. The moon is exalted in this nakshatra and very powerful in this nakshatra. In Vedic astrology the moon is considered as the mind or manas. Krishna Janmashtami is celebrated as birth of Lord Krishna when Sun is in own sign and Moon in Rohini Nakshatra.
In most of ancient Hindu Puranas, we have what is known as ‘Rohini Sakata Bhedanam’. This was observed during the times of Ramayana, when Ravana abducts Sita. Great wars and destruction happened every time this peculiar phenomenon appeared in the sky. In 46th chapter in Aranya Kanda of Valmiki Ramayana, Rohini is mentioned as dear wife of the moon and compared with Sita. Here bad planet would be Saturn (Ravana) when he abducts Sita (Rohini). Rohini (Sita) is the principle star and dear wife of the Moon God (Ravana) will be in lunar asterism of the same name, and when she comes in the contact with planets like Saturn, Mars, Rahu, and Ketu, it is predicted for earthly havocs of various types. Hence, Ravana is compared with Moon and Sita with Rohini.
In Hindu astronomy, Aldebaran is Rohini nakshatra and Planet Saturn is Shani. The ‘Rohini Sakata Bhedanam’ is an event of great significance. This event occurs when Saturn, Mars, Rahu, or Ketu approaches near Rohini Nakshatra and stays in the nakshatra. Events are mentioned in Ramayana and during great Mahabharata wars when Rohini Sakata Bhedanam occurs. Destruction happened every time this peculiar phenomenon appeared in the sky and below is mention in Ramayana.
It forebodes evil and destruction
When Saturn leaves Krittika and nears Rohini
Sages call this “Breaking of Rohini’s wain”
It brings great sorrow and misery
Brihat Samhita XLVII// 14
When Saturn, Mars or a comet cuts the Wain of Rohini, what shall I say, the whole world will perish being plunged in the ocean of misery/disaster.
Maharishi Vyasa has sketched out complete mention of astronomical events leading up to the start of the great Mahabharata war. These details have now proved extremely useful for astronomers and researchers to ascertain possible dates for the key events of the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
The planets (Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu) transited Rohini nakshatra in the past and the future between the dates mentioned below. The major events are described along with it. The events mentioned below are culled out from Wikipedia.

The Asc rising is Aquarius 19.06 degrees. The 6th house (signifying riots, protests, terror attacks, war, epidemics, etc) is aspected by Ketu and the 6th lord Moon is conjunct the Asc degree with an orb of 3 degrees. Similarly, the 8th lord Mercury Rx is in the 12th house close to the 12th house cuspal degree. The 8th house is mass happenings. The significations of 8th house is more severe than the 6th house significations. The lord of 9th house (signifying religion, communalism, judiciary, foreign allies, etc) is conjunct closely with the lord of the 8th house Mercury. This conjunction is also aspected by Rahu from Taurus.
