We construct axisymmetric self-similar solutions of transonic outflows emanating from a point source including the effect of the rotation. The solutions are constructed exclusively on the equatorial plane. The features of solutions are determined by three parameters; the adiabatic index $\gamma$, the dimensionless coordinate of the transonic point, and the dimensionless azimuthal velocity at the transonic point. We classify the solutions into five groups according to the asymptotic behaviors. We find that the behaviors of the self-similar solutions change at $\gamma = 11/9$. In addition, some solutions show double-power-law density profiles, which are usually seen in ejecta from a binary merger or nova-like explosion. Thus, our self-similar solutions can be applied not only to the outflow blowing from the central spinning objects, but also to the ejecta erupted from the binary merger or nova-like explosion.
