Computed with Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa).
Our library holds 385 politicians with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 40 of them (10%) have the Moon in Taurus, like Barack Obama, and 11 (3%) share the Rohini Nakshatra — the #21 most common Moon Nakshatra among politicians, where Uttara Bhadrapada leads with 25 (6%).
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
