Sheer popularity for the sake of the numbers is overrated...and it's likely a lot of 'em are bots.

Natives born in #Mrigashira #Nakshatra are friendly, sincere, easily trusted, gain several friends, have a large social circle, attracted to romantic partners, chase things of interest, lover of travel, and enjoy exploring new places,
Mrigashira Nakshatra in #astrology is one of the Tiryaka Mukhi Nakshatras (or the #Nakshatras, which have their mouths curved). In these Nakshatras, things related to roads, dams, the expansion of metals, chariots, boats, etc., can be auspiciously begun and performed.
Symbol: A #Deer
The symbol for Mrigshira (Mrigasheersha) is Deer.
Deity: The #Soma
The deity of Mrigashirsha is Soma. Soma indicates a plant or a creeper. Soma is also one of the names of the Moon. Soma is a master of great mantras or chanting.
He is fast and sustains senses. He is the owner of wealth, food grains, and nourishment. The deity of this Nakshatra is also called Chandra or the Moon. Chandra means the one who shines or glitters. One more meaning of the word Soma is the one with a mate.
Characteristics of Mrigashira Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Mrigashira Nakshatra is a# female #snake, and the soul of this nakshatra is a #Cobra.
The natives of Mrigashira Nakshatra have a very similar attitude to a male snake but are more private, secluded and submissive. Just like the #Rohini snake, Mrigashira is all about eloping when given a chance.
They want to break all restrictions and completely fall in love. The Rohini Nakshatra is more about the pleasure and seduction but Mrigashira is about seduction, pleasure and falling deep in love.
Female cobras build a nest and remain nearby to protect it, but male king cobras try to avoid fights.
Mrigashira becomes extremely protective of their lovers, children, especially on the Taurus side of this Nakshatra.
There is still a strong foundation of material search and protection in their life.
The sense of sexual pleasure is extreme with both Rohini and Mrigashira Nakshatras.
When these two Nakshatras get along, there is an instant electrical charge of attraction, but at the end, Mrigashira wants more while Rohini, the male cobra, looks for another to mate with.
It’s a great dating relationship between the two Nakshatras, but not a long term.
There is always the caress and coil the other individual during love making, even crushing them.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Soma, the Moon God himself.
Soma is the #elixir, which gives devas #immortality.
The whole story runs about where Soma stole #Tara, the wife of #Jupiter, who was too busy with his teachings, rituals, and guiding the royal family.
The lonely Tara was seduced by Soma and eloped with him; and became pregnant with his child, who was the #Mercury graha.
This also created a huge scandal for Jupiter, who later accepted Mercury after seeing his intelligence and quick learning skills.
#Moon was always fond of Rohini and spent the most time with her, but he also had an affinity for Mrigashira.
Mrigashira Nakshatra natives, like Rohini, will either elope or have an affair with a person whom they will fall deeply in love with.
Women with this Nakshatra have the tendency of having premarriage children; even in a conservative society, they may get pregnant a few weeks before the wedding.
Mrigashira and #Pushya are two Nakshtras who always tend to either date or marry a partner having a child from a previous relationship.
In mythology, there is a chapter where #Shiva saved Moon (Soma) as he received his boon to have him wax and wane so at least he can be in full phase on one day in a month.
This boon from Shiva was given to him after much effort and prayers. Shiva was so impressed that he took part of the crescent Moon and wore it on his head.
The story of Moon leads to Mrigashira natives having an affinity with Moon, especially the crescent moon.
They will even draw crescent Moon subconsciously on a board in the class or at their work. Many people become fascinated with looking at Moon at night, be big fans of the Apollo program, which landed a man on the Moon, and crescent moon days are highly sexually active.
When we look at Soma, it sounds like a divine drink, which every one of us have looked or thought about at one point in our life.
In reality, these natives do not really get the elixir of mortality, but elixir to escape.
Mrigashira natives are prone to addictive substances like alcohol, drugs, etc.
It isn’t due to the fact they are looking for immortality, but looking to escape this mortal life.
They try to escape from this known consciousness to the world they came from.
This act is also not conscious because they are not trying to be yogis and practice spirituality; they simply do it subconsciously by using their current situation as an excuse, but it is this chasing of elixir that ultimately leads to realizing about spiritual knowledge.
This may happen while they are drunk and suddenly get some type of an epiphany.
When this Nakshatra is occurring in the 12th, 4th, or 8th house, this part of the Nakshtra is very active, most of the time you won’t find them as drunkards or substance abusers.
On the contrary, many natives are actually spiritualists.
Mrigashira Nakshatra connects the Earth element of Taurus to the air element of Gemini, which makes a big difference on the two sides.
One seeks the pleasure of earth or material resources, while the other seeks the pleasure of information to reach the final elixir.
The symbolism of this Nakshatra is a deer’s head.
Deers are extremely good with smells, run fast, gets spooked, constantly searche for food in the forest, run away as soon as they notice you and are highly reproductive.
Mrigashira people have a great sense of smell. They can smell a dirty diaper on a different floor in the house, they can smell a burning food, but they love the rose smell.
The crux of the smell is actually the deer’s musk, which has a wonderful fragrance.
Such people are fast in doing their work, they quickly get into whatever they need to do and accomplish, but also they get spooked very easily and have a hard time with darkness as their imagination goes wild.
Mrigashira natives run away from conflict, constantly search for something in their life, whether it’s the search for pleasure, or when it turns into search for God and, they are highly sexual with their mate.
Mrigashira is #Parvati, and #Ardra is Shiva; what we know about their story is that Parvati had to search for a perfect mate after rigorous penance when she finally found Shiva.
This shows that Mrigashira natives have to go through many failed relationships before they find their Shiva regardless of the gender whether it’s a man or a woman.
Most of the search that occurs for Mrigashira native is the search for a perfect partner.
This Nakshatra has a strong theme of running and searching, which is also chasing.
Mrigashira natives love chasing and stalking things, whether it is something they want to buy or someone they like.
They will always somehow stalk until they have them.
This Nakshatra strangely loves eating meat or exotic meat because it takes place in the searching path of a jungle.
Mrigashira and Ardra Nakshatras both have similar food tastes if they eat meat.
Attributes of Mrigashira Nakshatra in Astrology
Mrigashira Nakshatra extends from 23’20” in Taurus (Vrishabha) Rashi up to 6’40” in Gemini (Mithun). The word ‘Mriga’ represents forests, gardens, a search, a seeking to find, to roam about in the forests and a hunter, to seek, to blaze the trail, a guide, preceptor, an erotic affair, beauty of the countenance with particular emphasis on the radiant lustre of the face, because of Chandra.
Chandra is the Lord of the mind, so all mental attitude, good or bad, sympathies and antipathies, patience and impatience, the fidgetiness and placidity, imagination, the gift of poetry, purity, sweetness, and light, physical and mental aspects, all these come within this star and when things of sweetness and light of physic as also of the mind derivatives from Chandra. Corresponding to these attributes, the horoscope of Rabindra Nath Tagore (a famous Indian poet) comes to mind.
His Janma (birth) Lagna was Pisces (Meena) with Chandra there, and Guru was in Cancer (Karka) Rashi. Because of this yoga, Rabindra Nath had something like physical translucence, which was the object of admiration worldwide, wherever people met. Also, at the same time, his poetry enthralled the whole world.

Mrgasirsa translates as the head of the deer and is symbolised by a Deer searching and scouring the land for nourishment.
It is formed of a cluster of 4 stars in the constellation of Orion, the brightest star of this Nakshatra is Bellatrix. These stars form the shape of a Deer head.
This Mangala (Mars) Ruled Nakshatra traverses both Taurus and Gemini. Mangala being the ruling planet of this Nakshatra, gives the force to search and quest. This is the quality of enthusiasm that is the fountain of youth, ever seeking and searching to know and to find.
The desire to unite disparate parts is the wanderlust of the Tantric voyager. Opposite poles mysteriously magnetize and attract each other, while simultaneously also having the force of repelling or de-magnetizing each other.
We find that all the #Mars ruled #Nakshatra’s are possessed of the adventurous spirit. We see that all the Mars ruled Nakshatra’s sit between two zodiac constellations, they are half in one sign and half in another, giving them the quality that inspires the quest of searching to unify opposites.
In the case of Mrgasirsa the bridge is between Vrishabha (Taurus) and Mithuna (Gemini). Taurus is an earthly sign of heart that is ruled by Venus. It is concerned with the immediate earthly sensorial territory.
Gemini is Mercurial etheric sign of the metaphysical mind. It is concerned with travel and movement in the metaphysical spheres. We can see these opposites at play clearly in Mrgasirsa, we could call it the joinery between the head and the heart.
When the head and the heart move in harmony with each other, then we have a great level of practical wisdom. When they are out of sync with each other, then we have abstractive irrelevance in the earthly sense and overly emotional indulgence in matters of the heart.
The Deer is a most practical creature of heart, infact it is the animal that symbolizes the Heart-Chakta for Tantrics. The Deer possess the eyes of a lover and has the swift movements of the air ruled Heart-Chakra.
When we look at pictures of the Nebula of Orion, we very interestingly even see that it presents a heart shaped form to us.
The Deer beautifully brings the qualities of the heart and the head together. It is a measured creature that is in touch with the mysteries inherent in its environment. It is not a chancer that that looks for wonderment far afield, but rather discovers the delights that are right under its nose.
The Deer is known famously for having the musk gland. This gland produces a substance that has been widely prized in perfumery. The gland contains pheromones that strongly attract and affect the heart of those who catch the scent. It is a scent that Deers attract mates by.
All creatures have such glands that incite and allure. The musk of the deer has been recognised as exerting a particularly powerful impact upon the heart. This has made of it a much sought after commodity. The paradox is that the harvesting of this gland might be anything but heart-full in the exploitation of the Deer.
The Deity of Mrgasirsa is Soma, Soma is the #lunarly #Elixir of life. Soma is the fountain of eternal youth and steady energy.
When Soma flows smoothly, the energy and the emotions are rhythmic and regular. Soma does not blow hot and cold, nor does it have drops and dips between energy and depletion. Soma is not a quality of excitement and restless stimulation, it is rather a smooth creamy continuity that brings life.
When Soma flows, then Prana (breath power) Tejas (psychic fire) and Ojas (watery essence) is abundant. Soma is the Elixir that the Yogins are careful to preserve. Without Soma, the waters of life run dry.
The Deer is a reminder of the cultivation and preservation of Soma. It is a creature that measures its capacities and knows its capabilities well. It is familiar with what its environment brings and has to offer. It equally knows dry well, what it’s environment does not have to offer. The deer is a teacher of the sacred heart that is practical to that which is right under its nose. It does not waste its essence in far off pursuits, but brings the vision of magic to the pursuit right under its nose.
On the path of the Deer, we are asked to measure our resources.
To go beyond what our resources actually are, is not the path of devotion, it is rather the opposite path that goes against the sacred heart.
On the path of the Deer, we are asked to look closely at the promises and searchings of chasing rainbows to the detriment of our Soma life fluid.
On the Path of the Deer, we are asked to look at, make use of and appreciate the particular shade of the green of our grass.
This Deer-driven star of #Soma, shines the energy of searching and seeking. The spirit of the quest, and the wonderlust towards innocent discovery is reflected in the eyes of the Deer.
The wonderlust of ever looking, searching and being on the eternal quest for the magical Elixir, may far outdo the need to find and obtain the certain treasure when seen through the vision of a Deer.
The vision that looks deep into that which is below the nose, is the path of efficiency, functionality and appreciation.
If the vision of ever looking into the wonders that are hidden in our midst is not with us, then all love, appreciation and gratitude are thrown out of the window.
The Deer vision is the wonderment and devotion in each and every little thing that is in our path. The deer spirit, is the spirit that is attuned to catch the voice of the flowers and the scent of the Moon.
Mrgasirsa is made of two words, Mrga implies Deer and other related species, such as antelope and gazelle, and Sirsa, which implies the head.
This points towards the power of this star to shine down upon our highest point ‘the head’, and turn us towards the search of deep mysteries.
The symbol of this star is the inclined head of the focused deer, sniffing out it’s path. The ritual journey taken under this star is one of inclining our head to look into the basis nourishment of our spirit.
This concerns things that are very close at hand, so close as to be right under our nose. The deer is an animal that is a wanderer within its familiar territory. It is a very practical creature that is in deep contact with its immediate surroundings. It could be said that the Deer is the seeker of adventure in the familiar.
This quality of knowing, studying and appreciating it’s territory, makes the Deer incredibly adaptable to new conditions, perhaps like no other creature.
Sometimes we might live in a cycle of achieving things. We naturally may have to strive under a schedule of duties and fulfilling tasks. When things become monotonous, we might see it as an indication of a needed change. The change that the Deer eyed vision of Mrgasirsa brings to us, is a change of our vision, to deepen our focus into the magic that is around us and learn to look for the unfamiliar in the very midst of the familiar.
The wonder that is brought to us by the Deer-eyed gaze of this star is to keep the journey of-the-sparkling, ever with us.
When we aim for a distant star, we risk losing the closer scent of the magical things around us. By slowing down the frequency of our sniff, the scents of magic that are right-up-close to us come under our nose.
This star brings us to question things such as excessive movement, striving and speed.
#Searching is a word that is redefined by this Star. The search for the magical Deer-eyed vision is what is implied by the wisdom of this #Star.
A search that goes pushing and rushing along in pursuit of the treasure, blindly misses daisy secrets that only the Deer-eye catches.
It might one day arrive at the treasure, only to find a mirror that reflects back the dried up loss of power that such a blind journey created.
The vision of the Deer is one that catches the sparkles along its way. The Deer vision gathers the treasure in its very gaze. Learning the secrets of the Deer is the path of learning to honour the Deer-eyed-gaze.
The way back to the magical gaze of the Deer, might be an arduous path. A path where we come to question our internal power of soul. We may come to see parts in ourselves, where we have thrown out precious nourishing things from our heart in exchange for inedible dirt.
Exotic perfumes in distant lands sweep the heart into magical fantasy it could be said. But discovering the scent of the home we are in, the one right under-our-nose, unfolds a fantastical reality that we might be bypassing… or by-sniffing and missing the essential treasure of being.
We might miss the rainbow in search of the pot of gold if we lose the lesson of the Deer. We might have taken influence from some place, and feel that wonder is far away from where we are. Maybe wonder is so close that it’s in the very gaze that we see things with. In the gaze of the Deer
Mrgasirsa brings us its blessing if we tune in and listen to the frequency of its starbeams. This Star makes us Deer-eyed and Deer-nosed. It teaches us to be able to beam the focus of our psychic forces right to the fundament of where we are in each and every gaze and sniff.
The Golden Deer that captivated Sita in the Ramayana epic, is what starts the whole story of her abduction and resultant rescue under the powers of Hanuman’s devotion to restore Love.
Sita, upon seeing the golden Deer was so captivated by it beauty, that she just had to have it.
The Deer shimmered like the golden sun and had silver moonlike spots that entranced Sita, so much as, as to forget where she was and what was around her. Her desire for the Deer, caused her to lose all ground.
A whole odyssey of separation and battle ensued as a result of seeking the golden Deer, who was infact a trickster.
The teaching inherent in this tale is clear when we consider the quality of the Deer as outlined above. The search for the Golden Deer carried consequences for all involved, but the paradox is that without the overstepping of ones territory, the path of Karma does not unfold. Straying is a necessary part of learning.
Playing it too safe can be the path of living death.
Much blood and Soma may spill in the pursuit of the golden Deer, but it becomes a deep teaching of the nature of overstepping the lines of reality.
By the teaching of this Star, we are brought to question and look at our own golden Deer pursuits.
The Yogins consider the animals as teachers and emissaries of particular qualities of the Spirit. A theoretical study of the habits of animals is certainly a very interesting way to get familiar with the qualities of the various creatures that live on earth. Tantric’s meditate upon the animals and evoke their particular spirit and quality within themselves. Observing the actual animal by meditation and tuning in to its energy has been a favorite pastime of Tantric’s, as a way to learn and attune to the animals secrets.
Observing how the coat of a Deer changes with the seasons communicates many mysteries to us if we open the receptive channels to its teaching. Mimicking the bark of the Deer is a way to comprehend where the energy of the deer is located in its body and spirit. The sound of the Deer engages the heart and the throat equally. This becomes poignant when we consider the Venus and Mercury aspects that the Deer Nakshatra stands between, as hilighted above in the ‘Uniting Opposites’ section.
The spirt of the Deer is a determined but innocent one that is more interested in the divine play than in the divine accomplishment.
When we look at the gods who have a deer with them, we get some pointers into the meaning of this Star.
#Krishna is the player of the celestial game known as Lila.
Lila is the romantic play of the spirit with all phenomena. Krishna is often pictured with the deer, as we see here above.
Another deity who rises upon #Deer back is #Vayu.
Vayu is the deity of the wind who rides swiftly upon Deer-back and carries the jewel of Pranic breath power to us. The Heart is the transformer of the common air element, into the the life force of Prana that the Yogins honour and awaken.
#Soma, the Moon deity, is another who also rides swiftly upon deer-back. He plays an important position here as he is the ruling deity of Mrgasirsa.
The parentage of Soma is of worthy note and points to secrets of lunar balance. The Moon rules the psychic movements by its ever changing rhythms. To balance the Moon energy of the psyche is open the secrets of Soma.
Soma is born of Bhanu and Nisha, Bhanu is the hot fiery father, Nisha is the mother who is cool, dark and moist. The first child of this couple was Agni, the second was Rohini and the third was Soma.
Agni is the fire god of the Nakshatra Krittika. Rohini is the most fertile red star woman. Rohini’s Nakshatra stands right between Krittika and Mrgasirsa. We have seen that Mrgasirsa is the cool star of Soma.
Rohini is brought to her fruitful power by standing in balance balance Agni and Soma. Heat and coolness in balanced measure is needed for her to thrive.
The lunarly journey of the Moon, travels through these three Nakshatras in the sequence in which they were born.
Soma is the Moon, but it is equally the Elixiral fluid of magic and wonder.
The force of this Star is to translate the fountain of eternal youth to us here on earth by shining them to us by the light of the Moons fourth waxing night.
Those places where inspiration and wonderlust are most unstable in us, are brought to life by this particular Moonshine.
The Deer is the animal that is connected to the Heart-Chakra. The Heart-Chakra resonates with the Green colour spectrum.
This brings us to Matangi, the Green Goddess of tomorrow night. We shall meet for the ritual that Annually honours Matangi.
She is the Green Goddess of unconditional Love. Matangi lays no condition upon the form that love is offered to her in. Her green-eyed vision sees with the eye of the Heart-Chakra.
Matangi is the deep essence of motherhood. Like a true mother who is equal about handling warm milk or warm shit, Matangi’s hands fear not to touch all sides of love.
Matangi is a powerful ally for us in determining the value of the things that we receive in our lives. Sometimes the most bitter medicine is administered with the greatest love, this is something that Matangi makes us aware of and sober enough to see.
Alternatively, sometimes the sweetest things are backed with empty sentiment that does not nourish anything deeper than our surface fancies.
Matangi is the unseen side of wisdom. She makes us wise in opening our eyes to the view that might be far off the beaten track of the conditioned heart. She is the great outsider who has lays down no conditions other than the whole hearted condition of Heart. To read more about Matangi
