Mrigashira Nakshatra

Mrigashira Nakshatra in Detail

Mrigashira stands for woods, gardens, roaming and hunting in the forest, and for guides and teachers. It brings romantic charm, and its natives have attractive faces because of the Moon. Its deity is Soma, the Moon, and in Hindu mythology its quest is like the search for the hidden treasures that rose during the Samudra Manthan, the churning of the ocean. The Moon rules the mind, so all mental states, good and bad, likes and dislikes, impatience and patience, calm and restlessness, as well as creativity, poetry, devotion, charm and brilliance, in both their physical and mental aspects, come under this star. Its first half lies in Taurus, ruled by Venus, and both Venus and the Moon are feminine planets. The Moon governs motherhood and the maternal nature, while Venus governs feminine beauty, the shape of the female form and physical grace. The Moon brings refinement and dignity, while Venus brings physical attraction, the charm that captivates. The Moon also rules the sea and medicines, and in the legend the Moon rose from the sea. The star itself is ruled by Mars, which adds energy and drive.

The Mrigashira man is tall with good skin. He is well educated and takes his time over his work. He has a contradictory side: he gives excellent advice to others but does not follow it himself. He can be restless in his loyalties, yet he is sincere in his approach to life. Family life may not be easy, as the behaviour of some family members upsets him. His marriage can be strained by disagreements about each other's position in life. For good health, he must take care of his stomach.

Mrigashira women are very attractive and good-looking, often tall and slim. She can study and work just as well as any man. She is intelligent and has a good sense of humour. One weak point she should overcome is her sharp tongue. Her married life is usually happy, and she may enjoy many years with her husband. She has a strong desire for wealth.

Its searching nature makes Mrigashira creative. Like a deer, it moves from one experience to another. On the negative side, the native may chase a mirage, which can lead to deception, showiness and uncertainty. The urge to push beyond their limits can make them nervous and mentally tired. They are impulsive and lively and enjoy meeting people, yet they can be shy. Mrigashira natives are often suspicious, with a strong sense of danger, which can cause worry in married life. The strong energy of this star can create disharmony in marriage, but this can be healed when the partners make time for each other.
