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.

Natives born in #Krittika #Nakshatra in #Astrology are skilled at the debate, overtaking conversation with logic and reason, intimidating people with intelligence, having a perfectionist outlook, judging others but also a tendency to “ #cut self”, inwardly judgmental, seeing the #truth in own behaviour, using #fire to #burn away bad parts and purify the self, can appear harsh, yet be supportive, may be prone to giving tough love, can appear tough or stern, but deep inside are warm, sensitive, caring and very protective by nature.

Krittika Nakshatra in Astrology is one of the Adhomukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras which have their mouths downwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to tanks, wells, temples, mining, digging, etc. can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: The #Razor
The symbol for Krittika Nakshatra is a knife or a razor. The razor is sharp, and it shines in the sunlight, so the razor indicates the effect of agni or fire. Razor is also used to shave the head and face. These two limbs are suggested by Krittika, which mainly indicates a face.

Deity: The #Agni
Agni reflects powers to consume, transform and convey. Just born, he was presented as a tender baby who needs loving attention. He sparks, smokes, and grows stronger than his parents.

Characteristics of Krittika Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Krittika Nakshatra is a goat. The #goat is a resilient animal.
When a land needs to be cleared of any type of bushes, weed and grass so that something can be built, the builders hire a farmer to bring in goat and sheep to clear out the ground, which is the fastest and the best way.
They quickly cut through the grass and make way for a clear ground.
This, in a way, is what fire would do to living earth; turn it into ash and dust.
Goats also have a habit of biting or nibbling in order to communicate.
A native with this Nakshatra would usually bite or nib during lovemaking or show some form of passion.
Goats also head butt during combat. When trying to retain their position or take someone else’s position in the herd, such behavior can translate into a person who will butt head with their co-workers, friends, and bosses because they constantly want to fight for their position in life.
The element of Krittika is fire, which can go two ways, the fire of purification and the fire of destruction.
When we do rituals, havans, we are trying to invoke certain Gods who can come and clean our sins and bad energy around the house.
The other fire is the fire that has no control; it can go from a small matchstick to burning an entire forest.
Both do the job of cleaning and cleansing, but one is invoked, and the other goes out of control.
In the Rig Veda, the Agni God has a big appetite for #Soma but was later cursed when he flirted with the wives of #Saptarishis.
This much of information shows that Krittika Nakshatra has a bit of a perverted attitude of lust provided by Soma.
These natives can also be innocent and not realize their sexual behavior.
This does not mean every single Krittika native would have this behavior, it has to be supported by malefics, 12th Lord and 8th Lord connection, which are the houses of secrecy.
Krittika can actually make someone a priest as ironic as this statement.
This foundation comes due to the mythology of Agni and how Agni peeked and saw wives of Saptarishis naked and lusted after them.
He was then cursed by the rishis to have an insatiable sex appetite and lust, which would get him into trouble.
Yes, it is a curse when someone is lusting or is forced to lust after every single thing.
Krittika natives are seekers of truth because they want to cut through everything and get to the point.
They make excellent political leaders, CEOs and executives in a company.
The symbol of this Nakshatra is a #knife, which can either cut through the truth, war, body, meat and vegetables in the kitchen, which is why they make great chefs.
In the kitchen, the two most essential things are fire and knife, which are represented by the Krittika Nakshatra.
When the #Dharma or #Artha Lord is in the Krittika Nakshatra, the native will be an excellent chef.
They also love to eat hot food and especially love putting extra ghee or butter in everything they eat.
Krittika natives usually love carrying a pocket knife or swiss knife.
On the Aries side of Krittika, it gives love for playing with fire, doing fire rituals, bonfires, and even studying elements of fire, which is electricity.
The Krittika Nakshatra has a strong theme of adoption.
He was the brother of Ganesha and was born from the semen of Shiva during love making with Paravati.
Kamadeva stole a single seed of sperm of Shiva to create a child, who would defeat the demon monster, Tarkasur.
The child was taken and adopted by the six sisters, known as the constellation of Pleiades.
This theme can always play out in Krittika natives; they are either adopted or raised by another family member while being far from their biological mother. They can even adopt children, foster children and animals.
11th Lord is the 6th from 6th house, which is the higher version of 6th house of pets.
When in the 6th house, one may even have to fight a custody battle for children.
Such people always have to fight a battle in their lives with a strong enemy, and they usually win.
Attributes of Krittika Nakshatra in Astrology
This is the birth star of Chandra. Many constellations gather at the tail end of the Krittika group. It extends from Mesha 26’40”. The residuary 10’00” degree falls in Taurus (Vrishabha).
Lord (Adhipati) is Mangal and Shukra. Agni is the great purifier, consumer, and giver of light, heat, and brightness. Agni causes the fire of life and the drive. It is also the spark of life. Without fire, creation would not exist.
Agni is at the base of creation and the continuation of existence. It consumes everything. The fire of digestion in the human system and the external fire for cooking are only different manifestations of the same principle: Agni.
Agni is the symbol of brightness and brilliance, all weapons with fire-power. Other things of the same category come within the Krittika group’s range. The fire is considered a purifier, for it burns away all that is wicked, dark and dull, low and sinful and inauspicious in the world.
The junk thus blazes away, and only effulgence and light remain. Fire gives the earth its activity and dynamism and revives it after the spells of cold that periodically inflict the earth’s comatose condition.
Description of Krittika Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native will have no ability to rectify (wrong course), will be strong, fickle-minded, will have various foodstuffs at his disposal, and be extremely brilliant. He will have many dwelling places and be very talkative.
According to Jataka Parijata: If, during a native’s birth, the Moon be in the star (Krittika), he will be energetic, Lord-like in status, not dull but with some valuable learning.
According to Sage Narada: The native born in Krittika will be splendorous, intelligent, liberal, an avid eater, fond of women, sagacious, skilful, and honourable.
According to Brihat Samhita: Birth under the asterism, Krttika makes one a glutton, addicted to others’ wives, brilliant and famous.

#Mrigashira #Nakshatra Imagine a scenario where you’re deep in a lush forest, and you suddenly spot a magnificent deer. Its gaze locks onto yours, and just as quickly, it gracefully disappears from view. This is the essence of Mrigashira. They’re like those elusive, golden deer, captivating and enchanting as they roam in mysterious realms. Their nature often revolves around the concept of pursuit. Whether they’re chasing something or leading you on a chase, the theme of ‘chase’ is inherent to Mrigashira individuals.

They will pique your curiosity, leaving you intrigued, but they can never be held onto, much like a dream that fades into the realm of fantasy when you wake up. Mrigashira embodies imagination, fantasy, the quest for the intangible, and the pursuit of ultimate happiness. Some are fortunate enough to possess these traits, while others may never experience them.

The qualities of Mrigashira encourage people to dream and actively pursue those dreams. They teach us to transform our dreams into reality through hard work and dedication. Additionally, Mrigashira underscores the importance of distinguishing between mere fantasy and taking concrete actions to bring those dreams to life.

For someone starting as an underdog, fantasy could entail achieving exceptional educational or professional recognition or becoming a globally acclaimed speaker. However, the reality involves putting in the effort to make those dreams a reality, ultimately becoming the underdog who achieves greatness Mrigashira Nakshatra.

Take, for instance, a person considered ‘ordinary’ who later evolves into a fashion icon like Prada. Or consider a resident of a slum who miraculously earns a scholarship to study at Oxford. Mrigashira, as a constellation, serves as an inspirational force, urging individuals to chase their dreams Mrigashira Nakshatra.

These dreams could range from inventing something groundbreaking, like the light bulb, to creating mobile homes that can function underwater, such as submarines. Mrigashira tests your ability to envision the extraordinary and then work towards making it a tangible reality Mrigashira Nakshatra.

#Mrigashira #Nakshatra
#Characteristics male
Male belonging to this nakshatra is the kind to doubt every action, and that too is for a legitimate reason as he had previously been cheated on by people close to him. Trust is something he does not do very easily and that is for his own good. Although, even if he has been conned by the people around him, he does not directly cut them off from his life but rather acts nice but wary around them. He is someone who is always invested in a conversation and is paying attention to every word that is being spoken and is expecting the same from others. Mrigashira male doesn’t like to be around people who are judgemental or people he finds to be dishonest. However, males of this nakshatra may not be as truthful to themselves as they think they are, as they are someone who is different from the person they project themselves to be to the world.

Compatibility male
Although there will be immense love between him and his spouse, there will always be animosity in the relationship due to petty reasons and differences in opinion.

Mrigashira females are usually intelligent but unfortunately, they are not the ones who are very keen on having a good education.

As the nine nights represent the nine planets, we will be having a planetary celebration of Navaratri with an account of one of the planets for each of the nine nights. The second planet is The #Moon. The colour for the second day of #Navaratri is #WHITE, so we shall scribe in white with an added background so that white may be easily read for this second day’s observance of Navaratri

Today is the second day of the Navaratri celebrations which are held for nine days (Nava Rathrulu). All festivals are meant to remind mankind that they should cultivate noble qualities by engaging themselves in activities beneficial to one’s own self and society. Sai Baba made reference to Navaratri and the Nine Planets:
As part of Navaratri celebrations, people worship different forms of divinity. You should develop sacred feelings and experience divinity. What is the inner meaning of Navaratri celebrations? These nine nights represent nine planets. Each planet has its own significance. However, these planets are not outside, they are within. If your feelings are impure and unsacred, the result also will be the same. You are responsible for the good and bad you think and experience.

The Moon
#Chandra, (lit. “shining one”) The Moon is one of the Gods and a most important planet in Vedic Astrology. He is described as young, beautiful, fair; two-armed and having in his hands a club and a lotus. He rides his chariot (the moon) across the sky every night, pulled by ten white horses or an antelope. Although the antelope is the animal most commonly depicted with Him in iconography, the rabbit is also particularly sacred to him and all rabbits are under his protection. He is connected with dew, and as such, is one of the gods of fertility. As #Soma, presides over Somvar or Monday.

The Moon rules Mother and maternal matters, contentment in the home, emotions and bodily fluids, as the Moon is kapha dosha. Kapha dosha signifies water, fluids, fluids in the body and it is of an earthy nature. It has dimensions of loyalty, faithfulness, love and attachment. The Moon waxes and wanes monthly and as it is the fastest moving planet, it is easily afflicted in transits. The Moon is strongest when it is 180° from the Sun; the closer the Moon comes to the Sun, the lesser its energy and strength.

Moon signifies responsiveness, loyalty, dependence. It is traditional, conservative, conventional in attitudes. It delivers the energy of belonging, seldom rebels, and, when cool, has high frustration tolerance. Moon gives friendly attitudes, life-long associations and doesn’t like to hurt other people. It can accept feedback from others but does not like confrontations, particularly when they are personally hurtful. The Moon gives good parents who are good providers.

Day 2
#Goddess #Brahmacharini
Brahmacharini means a devoted female student who lives in an Ashrama with her Guru along with other students. It is also the name of the second aspect of the goddess Durga (Parvati). The goddess is worshipped on the second day of Navratri (the nine divine nights of Navadurga). The goddess Brahmacharini wears white clothes, holds a japa mala (rosary) in her right hand and Kamandal, a water utensil in her left hand.

Charini is the feminine version of one who is a charya, which means “occupation with, engaging, proceeding, behaviour, conduct, to follow, moving in, going after”; so to seek, to explore, to experience, to know. One does not dare to speak of the divine without internal, inner experience. For the Divine is that which is known only; it cannot be thought about, read about, nor experienced in discussion with others. One pursues the experience of the Divine – like Bhakta Meera, also known as Mirabai:

I am your slave.
Bind me in tethers, Mira’s your slave.
She wakes up at dawn,
sits in the garden,
haunts the pathways of Brindavan forest
making up ballads.
Fever, memory, craving,
birth after birth they come with me.
I slip on a saffron robe
hoping to see you.
Yogins come to Brindavan to know oneness,
hermits perform terrible spells,
holy men come to sing gospels –
but Mira is deeper, Lord,
and more secret.
She waits with a ruined heart every night
by the river
just for a glimpse.

The Moon is often thought of as feminine, just as the rules Mother and maternal matters, contentment in the home and emotions. The moon is a feminine symbol, universally representing the rhythm of time as it embodies the cycle. The phases of the moon symbolize immortality and eternity, enlightenment or the dark side of Nature herself. It might reflect inner knowledge, or the phases of man’s condition on Earth, since it controls the tides, the rains, the waters, and the seasons. It is the middle ground between the light of the sun and the darkness of night, and thus often represents the realm between the conscious and the unconscious.

On this second day of Navaratri, we have learned that the day is ruled by the Moon, the colour is white and the Goddess is Brahmacharini Devi, the Goddess of #Swadhisthana #Chakra. The word swadhisthana can be translated as “the dwelling place of the self”. Swadhisthana Chakra develops around the ages of 6 months to 2 years. This chakra governs our relationship to the feminine, our reproductive area and our femininity. We are also determining the safety of expressing our feelings, experiencing emotions and also connecting to our intuition.

The element of Swadhisthana Chakra is #water, which equals cohesiveness. A balanced second chakra leads to feelings of wellness, abundance, pleasure, and joy. When this chakra is out of balance, a person may experience emotional instability, fear of change, sexual dysfunction, depression, or addictions.

We have learned about the name the Goddess of this day – Brahmacharini – and that charini is the feminine of “occupation with, engaging, proceeding, behaviour, conduct, to follow, moving in, going after”. We cannot live without the feminine aspect of the #Divine #within, and Navaratri represents a call toward exploring and experiencing this feminine divine within. We are ask to follow, to move in, to go after, just like Mirabai, the Rajput princess who lived for and sought her Lord Krishna alone. It behooves us to seek the feminine within, to honour it, for in honouring the feminine, the Mother Goddess, the Shakti or female energy principle within, we honour Mother Earth herself, who is also a Goddess, Bhu-Devi. We honour our own Mother, our sisters, aunts, grandmothers and all the generations of women who have come before us and gifted us. So also, we take care of the resources of Mother Earth, as per Sri Sathya Sai Baba:

Significance of Navaratri
“The Navaratri celebration is an occasion for revering #nature and considering how natural resources can be used properly in the best interest of mankind. Resources like water, air, power and minerals should be used properly and not misused or wasted. Economy in the use of every natural resource is vital. Pollution of the air has many evil consequences. The inner significance of observances like singing in the villages and devotional singing is to fill the atmosphere with sacred vibrations and holy thoughts. The inauguration of the Navaratri celebrations means that you should use this occasion for offering worship to nature and resolving to make sacred use of all natural resources.” Sai Baba. SS, 11/92, p. 269

#Mrigashira #Nakshatra is the fifth of 27 nakshatras. If you were born when the moon was between 23:20 degrees Taurus – 6:40 degrees Gemini

Sanskrit Name: मृगशीर (Mrigashira) comes from the #Sanskrit words मृग (animal) and शिर (head). One meaning of Mrigashira is a “the #head of an #animal,” indicating a sense of adventure, excitement, and a strong intuition.

Planetary Ruler: #Mars. The Romans worshiped Mars as the god of war, a tradition that had its roots in the scriptures of #Vedic India. Mars is associated with masculinity, power, vitality, courage, and conflict.

Nakshatra Group: Godly. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Mrigashira is a godly nakshatra. People in this group are generally good-natured and fortunate in life. However, they may struggle with pride and a sense of entitlement.

Zodiac Sign: Taurus (1st and 2nd quarter) and Gemini (3rd and 4th quarter). Taurus natives are light-hearted, reliable, generous, likeable, obedient, and fond of sensual pleasures. Gemini natives are intelligent, analytical, imaginative, and thoughtful individuals skilled at rhetoric.

Deity: Soma. #Soma is the lord of the mind and is also associated with medicine, nourishment, and fruits and vegetables.

Symbol: #Deer’s head. This represents curiosity, playfulness, movement, wit, and boldness.

Power: To give #fFulfillment. This star bestows a sense of fulfillment and attainment through transformation and maturity.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters ( #padas) of Mrigashira are Ve (वे), Vo (वो), Ka (का), and Key (की). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Mrigashira natives are learned individuals with brilliant minds and excellent research abilities. You think and act quickly. Energetic by nature, you are able to accomplish a great deal by applying that energy with perseverance and industry. You are unlikely to be caught in the middle of a mess — you like your surroundings to be clean and aesthetically pleasing. Good health is usually enjoyed by Mrigashiras.

A loveable and soft-hearted nature ensures that Mrigashiras are well-liked. Your honesty and optimism, combined with your vast knowledge, make you a valuable friend who can give excellent advice.

Mrigashiras whose moon falls in Taurus, in the lunar mansion’s first two quarters, are likely to possess poetic and musical talent. The creative influence of Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus, allows you to bring many ideas into existence. Taurus’s influence will also bring material affluence.

If your moon falls in Gemini, in Mrigashira’s latter two quarters, you will have great linguistic talent. Writing, public speaking, and debating are skills that come naturally to you. You are clever and curious, and your curiosity leads you into extensive research in many fields.

A sense of joy and peace generally follows Mrigashiras, whose sensitive, gentle, and perceptive natures make others feel comfortable in their company.

Mrigashira Careers
Mrigashiras do best in careers where their intelligence is engaged. Work that restricts them too much will make Mrigashiras feel restless and unfulfilled.

Some ideal professions include:

Teacher, professor, or researcher
Member of the clergy or other spiritual vocation
Writer, poet, artist, or musician
Travel agent, travel journalist, or other career that involves travel
Weaknesses
Mrigashira natives are used to being the most intelligent person in the room. This can make it difficult to develop humility. Arrogance, combined with your active nature, can lead you to be hasty — you might overlook important details and make decisions without consulting others. It can also result in aggressive behavior.

The analytical mind of a Mrigashira is never at rest. While it gives you insights and perceptions that make you seem like a genius to others, it also has its downsides. You can be suspicious and doubtful because you are too aware of the many ways a situation could go wrong. If you spend too much time thinking about potential problems, your natural optimism can give way to nervousness and fear.

Because your mind is always searching in a thousand directions at once, you can seem scattered. Although you are energetic, when you try to do too many things you’ll feel like you never accomplish anything. Making decisions can also be hard for you, as you can’t stop weighing the pros and cons of your options. It’s ironic that although you make others feels peaceful and comfortable, you struggle to do the same for yourself. You often feel restless.

Your ability to read other people can be misused. You often know what people want to hear, but this can cause you to fall into the habit of deceiving others. You may misrepresent yourself, your ideas, and your beliefs for the sake of popularity or some other material gain. Remember to have integrity and to practice what you preach, or your deception and hypocrisy will come back to haunt you in the end. This tendency to be fickle is especially prominent in Mrigashiras in Gemini.

Your sensual nature can get the better of you, leading you further and further from your true path in life in an endless quest for sensual satisfaction. It’s important for you to control your desire for comfort and pleasure. Overindulgence is never satisfying, and it can even lead to illness.

Other Personality Traits
You are a quick learner. It doesn’t take you long to get the hang of new concepts or skills. Learning is something you excel at, whether you are learning how to cook or how to do geometry.

You are skilled at debate. You are a persuasive speaker and rarely lose a debate. Arguing like this is fun for you, but be mindful that not everyone likes to debate — you might come across as aggressive.

You are a natural scholar. You will do well in school. You are studious, unlikely to miss a class or forget to turn in an assignment — after all, learning is something you enjoy.

You are sensitive to criticism. You are accustomed to being right and it’s hard for you to handle criticism. Because of your sensitive nature, criticism affects you strongly. Try to look at criticism constructively rather than letting it get you down. When taken in this way, criticism can help you grow.

You may find grief in marriage. The ruling planet of Mrigashira is Mars, a planet whose aggressive influence can cause trouble in marriage. You may find it hard to stop analyzing your relationship, doubting it as you doubt most of your decisions. Multiple relationships and adultery can be avoided if you learn to be satisfied with your relationship and stop searching for something better.

Mrigashira Compatibility
Mrigashira sexuality is symbolized by a female serpent. In terms of physical compatibility, this makes them an ideal match for persons born under Rohini nakshatra.

Note: Compatibility in relationships is a complex science that looks at many different factors. You should always consult with an experienced astrologer who can carefully analyze the charts of both you and your partner.

Mrigashira’s Four Quarters (Padas)
Each nakshatra is divided into four quarters, also known as padas, of 3:20 degrees each. These quarters are based on a 1/9th divisional chart, known in Sanskrit as navamsha.

The moon’s position at your time of birth determines the quarter in which you are born.

First Quarter (23:20-26:40 degrees Taurus): Leo. You are a powerful individual who is uncompromising and unyielding. You are attractive in appearance. A position in the government would suit you well.

Second Quarter (26:40-30:00 degrees Taurus): Virgo. Knowledge is your primary focus. Your sharp mind makes you cunning and witty, and you have an excellent sense of humor. Patience comes naturally to you.

Third Quarter (0:00-3:20 degrees Gemini): Libra. You are kind-hearted and you love to socialize, a combination that wins you many friends. Your intelligence and imagination ensure that you are always coming up with original ideas.

Fourth Quarter (3:20-6:40 degrees Gemini): Scorpio. You are active and you always have a lot going on. You are intellectual and your opinions are well-informed. You are unwilling to surrender to anyone else’s demands, even for the sake of politeness. However, this unyielding tendency can cause you problems. You are straightforward, argumentative, and sometimes cruel.

Mrigashira in Electional Astrology
In electional astrology, also known as muhurtha, nakshatras are used to determine favorable days and times for important ceremonies and events, such as weddings, buying a new house or vehicle, commencing a project, or conceiving a child.

The electional nature of Mrigashira is Mridu, “soft” or “mild.” Mrigashira is an excellent nakshatra for:

Beginning a journey
Undergoing a medical operation
Marriage ceremonies
Conceiving a child
Purchasing new clothes or jewelry

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.

#Mrigashirsha #Nakshatra, which is from 23°20' degrees in Taurus to 6°40' degrees in Gemini, is the fifth 5th Nakshatra of the zodiac as per #Vedicastrology. Mrigashirsha Nakshatra's ruling deity is #Moon or #Soma and the symbol for Mrigashirsha Nakshatra is "deer's head". Now there is a catch here that why Mrigashirsha Nakshatra is also called #Mrigasira Nakshatra. If we split both of these words, it both starts with 'Mriga' which in #Sanskrit means #deer. And the remaining parts of both these words are 'Shirsha' and 'Sira', and it means head. Therefore whether we called it Mrigashirsha or Mrigasira Nakshatra the meaning remains the same, which is deer-headed.

This symbolism of Mrigasira Nakshatra gives us the idea of qualities and personality traits of this Nakshatra. Just like deers which are timid, shy and nervous creatures. And are given to quick restless movements in their constant search for food and safety. Mrigashirsha Nakshatra exhibits the qualities of searching and seeking things out. Mrigashirsha Nakshatra also signifies hunting which is one form of a search. Deers have a habit to roam around predictable paths. Therefore this Lunar mansion also a ruler of things like journeys, movements, roads and paths. Moon as the ruling deity for this Nakshatra suggests a clever convincing person who is sensual, inconstant and fickle-minded. All are the personality traits from the Moon.

The symbol of deer's head for Mrigasira Nakshatra has a link with a story from Hindu mythology. Once Brahma, the Hindu god of cosmic creations, lusted after his own daughter. The frightened girl took the form of a doe (the previous Nakshatra Rohini - the red doe, ruled by Brahma)and fled in the sky, but her lustful father took the form of a male deer and pursued her. To save the girl from possible cosmic incest, Angry Lord Shiva, the Hindu God of destructions snipped off the Brahma's head to stop him. This dear head is said to remain in the sky as the Mrigashirsha Nakshatra.

Here it is important to understand that Lord Shiva, the God of destructions, is the one who destroys unnecessary hunger, excessive lust and immoral passion. He destroys the things and thoughts which takes a man away from the path of morality. Hence, this is the reason in India you will see Shiva temples and Shiva lingam almost everywhere, b

Vishaka is a profound agent for bringing healing change.

Vishaka Nakshatra indeed offers this, but at the same time, asks us to carefully and honestly look at the patterns we are repeating a d the things we are joining together.

The outer resonance of our lives events start as a sound in our psychic world and then becomes the medley which rules the rhythm of our being.

A blessed time for looking at inner beliefs and programs that keep a living death in place of rebirth.

The blessing and the curse ride together, both are looked at in the Tantric perspective, for the poison is part of the medicine.

Drinking the medicine without honouring and acknowledging the power of poison is tantamount to blindness.

The gods who dwell on the star constellation of Vishaka are thirsty indeed. They are full of the wish for #Soma and the experience of fulfilling desire.

Desire is sacred if it is channeled, but desire can lead to ruin if it is unfocussed.

Yogic practices could actually be defied as the art of channeling desire.

Desire might have been bastardized as the culprit for leading us into delusions.. and that might be the case. But the suppression of desire and the attempt to kill it leads to war. Desire comes from the goddess, it is too powerful-a-force to kill.

Acknowledging the sacredness of desire is the lesson of Vishaka Nakshatra.

Focused desire is Tantra and Tantra is focused desire.

It is not easy to see reality when we ourselves are reflected in the mirror of distorted desire in which we watch the world. To turn around and break the curse of the mirror, and see a reality without our Karmic visions and smears… is a task most Tantric.

Tantra is a most practical subject that can help resolve the Karmic footprints that we might be stepping into.

Sometimes we find we are stepping back into painful cycles that we thought we had long since outgrown. We sometimes find ourselves back in inner situations we thought were long past.

Maybe we thought we would never indulge them back to life again, but insidiously, like unseen shadows, erecting themselves back to life, they might have come upon us.

Such experiences indeed may feel like times to lament, but equally they are times of celebration.

If one can acknowledge the psychic knots that have bound us back to the footprints of old Karma, then healing happens.

Vishaka is Shakti, the divine feminine power principle.

Shakti who is the very energy of life is able to ‘shock us awake’ from the most stagnant, comfortable and familiar Karmic dreams.

This ‘Shakti shock’ is the healing jolt of transformation.

It may be painful and unwanted to wake up with a shock from the poison of past pacts.

But more slowly painful it be to be dictated to by the reflections of unresolved Karma.

Vishaka heralds in a time for healing practices of forgiving self, forgiving other, and the one that we are together.

May there be success in the healing pursuit!

Like a dentist who takes out the rotten tooth with a painful jolt,

sometimes it must be so.

May the Mother that is Shakti, hold our trembling hand in such instances.

The only teaching in Tantra is to ‘Have courage’

May the profound agent of change who goes by the name of Vishaka

bring us to the cave where we may receive the electric Shakti Shock, right into our dead Karmic dreams, so we may wake alive in Love.

Another name for this star constellation is #Radha- Radha is the spacious beauty of Tantric lore. This is a sister constellation of the following Constellation of Anuradha.

Anuradha literally means that which follows Radha.

Vishaka Shares the symbol of an archway with Anuradha.

The #archway is very significant in understanding the energy of Vishaka Nakshatra.

Let us ask ourselves:

What is an archway?

Is it not an attempt between two lovers to join?

How many archways have fallen in our lives?

Radha is the great Ghori. Ghori implies the bright, clear and spacious Moon woman.

She is the lover of Krishna.

Krishna is the dark night sky which nothing can penetrate. Only Radha can meet the darkness of the night sky of Krishna with her Moonlit rays of love.

Krishna is the dark night sky and Radha is the bright Moon. The old tales tell of Krishna asking his mother ‘Radha kyu gori mai kyu kala,

It means ‘why am I black and Radha so bright’. This encapsulates the deep meaning of their opposites and births. Though these words come from the sacred wisdom of Yogic lore, they were put into a very beautiful song in the 1978 movie entitled Satyam Shivam Sundaram. Here is a link to the song:

https://youtu.be/Vm6Ny_Hryh4

Vishaka is the only Nakshatra that has both an exulted planet and a debilitated planet. The black planet #Saturn is #exulted, and the silver #Moon is #debilitated in Vishaka Nakshatra. Clearly the extremes at play again.

The silver Radha’s nights and days are spent in the longing for union with the dark black mystery of Krishna. She is Half of arch that longs for the other half.

Two halves make an #arch for which #Love can walk on through.

We also see that arches are prominent features in rites of passage. The wedding arch is a most poignant example.

Radha is a word that also signifies the #soul.

The soul carries the impulse of unification!

In considering this potent phrase, we are brought to look at the colour of the soul.

We might have inherited the notion that the soul is a dead thing, something pure, exulted, detached and unfeeling like a cold dead corpse.

Take a moment to consider and ponder upon What the soul is ?

Ponder upon what your notion of the soul is?

Our notion of soul will determine our whole approach to spirituality and Yogic practice.

If our notion of the soul is something that is cold, aloof and detached, then union, magic and fascination will be replaced by depression and resignation.

Vishaka Nakshatra is an energy of Unification.

When we look at the ruling deity that lives on this constellation then we get an idea of its meaning in terms of unification.

#Indragni is the god of this constellation. Indragni is a mysterious and little known deity, even scriptural references are scarce and rare. Much speculation from astrologers both modern and ancient has ensued as a result of so little availible info.

Indagni is the fusion of Indra the god of storm and Rain, and Agni the god of fire.

The fusion of these two deities and principles becomes clear when we look at the notion of the archway that is the joining of two halves to create a structure.

The idea of fusion is also apparent when we consider the tree that is assigned to Vishaka Nakshatra.

Nagkesaar is the tree that is connected to Vishnu Nakshatra. In Yogic medicine this tree is used as a remedy for treating conditions of fire and water imbalance.

Now. We can clearly see that this Nakshatra is the union of the opposites of these two elements.

Agni is the god of fire and fire feeds of air. Indra is the storm god of rain and rain feeds the earth.

When Agni and Indra are balanced in our system then we have the marriage of the four basic elements, from this marriage then, the 5th element which is called Akash starts to awaken us to the subtle world.

What is the balance of Agni and Indra exactly?

Fire ( #Agni) rises and feeds upon air. This is desire, hope, reaching.

Water ( #Indra) descends and sinks into earth and nourishes it.

Fire is action and enthusiasm – this is Rajas.

Water descends and Sinks – this is Tamas.

The balance of Fire and Water creates Satva, the ekement that bridges the two worlds of Fire and Water.

When we are caught between the dance of hope and resignation, then we are unbalanced between the swing of opposites. In such a state of swing, there is no subtlety, in such a state Akash is diminished.

Akash is the subtle etheric spiritual element. hope and resignation are the two poles of drama that consume the subtle element of Akash.

If we have a balance between fire and water, then we develop a relation to air and earth. from which ensues birth of Akash.

Akash is the opening of the psychic door to the spirit world.

#Akash opens the vision to that which lives beneath the surface layers of reality.

The animal of Vishaka Nakshatra is the #Tiger. The Tiger skin is the Yogic blanket of #Shiva. The #Goddess #Durga who is the Mother of everything, rides on the Tiger, #Rahu rides on the Tiger and the list of Yogic references to the Tiger could go on.

The Tiger is a creature of elemental wisdom. In the Tiger we see the mastery of the elements. Like fire that creeps slowly and steadily towards its prey, the Tiger contains the fiery power and just like fire, it can snap into immediate action in a millisecond and envelop its prey.

The Tiger is profoundly fond of earthly rest and spends more than half its time in deep rest and sinking . A Tiger has the power of air and can project a roar that can be heard for many miles. The Tiger is a powerful swimmer and has command of water, being able to swim for miles at a time.

The balance and mastery of all these 4 elements, makes the Tiger the creature of the most subtle 5th element of Akash.

Since time immemorial, Yogis have lived in jungles and learned from Tigers which can transport the secrets of the etheric Akash element as no other creature on earth.

#MRGASIRSA

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

23°20" Taurus (Vrishabha) to 6°40" Gemini (Mithuna)
#Mangala #Nakshatra #Soma #Chandra #Mrigashira
The 5th Nakshatra: MRIGASHIRA.
The four quarters are ruled by:
Sūrya (Sun) - the 1st quarter,
Buddha (Mercury) - the 2nd quarter,
Shukra (Venus) - the 3rd quarter,
and Mangala (Mars) - the 4th quarter.

Other aspects of this Nakshatra:
The Purushardha (life's vector or motivation) is Moksha.
Totem animal is Serpent (female).
Symbol - a head of a #deer.
Devata (Deity) - Soma (Chandra).
Dosha - Pitta.

This is the 5th Nakshatra of the zodiac, spanning from 23°20' in Vrishabha to 6°40' in Mithuna. Its first two quarters fall in the sign Vrishabha while the last two quarters fall in the sign Mithuna. Accordingly, the characteristics of people born in first two quarters are different form the people born in the last two quarters. But a general picture of these natives is given below.

People born in this Nakshatra have a strong body and moderate complexion. Those born in the Vrishabha will have a fair complexion compared to those born in the Mithuna.

They are sincere in their behavior towards others and expect that others should also behave in the same way. But this seldom happens. As a result, there are chances that this native may get cheated very often, especially from the people close to him. When this happens, these people find it difficult to come to term with the situation. They do not like being manipulated or cheated by others. When this happens, they may harbor a tendency to take revenge.

They are peace loving by nature, but provoking them will be dangerous. They have a good grasping power, can quickly learn new things and have a creative nature.

These people are honest, straightforward and contrary to most of the people born in Vrishabha, tend to live a simple life. But they find it difficult to make up their mind on important decisions, as a result of which they have to go the trial and error way. This is why they take more time to settle down in life.

Females born in this Nakshatra like to control their husbands. They try to keep themselves busy in some way after the marriage and like to have an upper hand in the domestic affairs.

These people get good education. For those born with their moon in Mithuna, a career in accountancy is a good option. For those born in the Vrishabha, their good business sense is often proved useful in complementing their education. But they have to try many lines of profession before they settle down in a particular field.

These people are misunderstood many times by those whom they love. Their partners have health troubles and there is also some tension in marital relations. When it comes to health, these natives are prone to suffer form acidity and constipation.

Male Natives

1. Physical feature: He will have a beautiful and stout body, tall, moderate complexion, thin legs and long arms.

2. Character and general events: There is a peculiar tendency seen in him. He has a doubting nature. He is always suspicious of everything. He is very sincere in his dealings with others and he expects the same reciprocal sincerity nature others find it pleasant to deal with him. But a word of precaution is necessary here that he has to be very careful while dealing with his friends and relatives as also in any partnership business as he may be cheated. Blind trust put on others will quite often lead him into later frustration and repentance.

He has a knack to deal with even those who ditch him. He has a natural initiative, awareness, brilliancy of mind, eagerness and active agility, but as a result of his affectionate regard for others, he is buffeted by both circumstances and people.

He is very simpleton. He prefers a life of simplicity and principled. He always expresses impartial and sincere opinion. He can be impatient to the point of intolerance when confronted with prejudice , judgment or action by others. While he expresses to others opinion, it is never brought into his life. He acts according to his own sweet will. Outwardly expresses to the public that it is very courageous and will not hesitate to do anything which requires extreme courage, whereas he is an inborn coward.

He will not have peace of mind and get irritated even on small matters. His life up to 32 years of age will be full of trials and errors and would appear to be like a lost boat in the center of the ocean i.e., the question of where to go, how to go and why to go will permanently rampage his mind without any conclusion. His 32nd age onwards, life will start settling down down to the maximum satisfaction provided other planetary positions are good.

1. Education, sources of earning / profession : He will have good education. He is a very good financial adviser. He advises others to curb the spending but he cannot control the expenditure and at last finds himself in the extreme economic conflict. He achieves success in life, including business if engaged after the age of 32 years. Till that time he has to face several ups and downs. He often begins projects rather than finishing the tediously routine tasks of the one in hand. It is mainly due to percipience rather than weakness and above all his ability to understand the possibility of success or no success of a project in hand, discard it immediately and replaces it immediately and replaces it with another which is more viable. In other words, he cannot undertake any permanent or continuing nature of work.

Period between 33 years and 50 years will be a period of full of strength and activities followed by utmost satisfaction. During this period he can achieve the benefits unexpectedly. But whatever he will be earning during this period will be wasted later on due to his own fault.

1. Family life : No benefit will be derived from the co-borns. Co-borns will not only cause troubles and problems to the native, but also maintain extreme enmity so as to harm the native. His sincere love and affection will not have any any effect in his relatives. In other words, the native is mistaken absolutely for no fault of his own. That is why we are bound to believe the existence of God and the relationship of stars over the human beings.

His spouse may not keep good health. Moreover, his married life is not cordial, mainly due to difference of opinion on silly matters, and the adamant nature of the native. In some cases, it is seen that the reason for the disharmony between the couple is mainly due to the better occupation in life by one of them, and the consequent inferiority complex.

1. Health : He has to face ill-health during his childhood. Frequent constipation ultimately leading to stomach disorder, cuts and injuries, pains in the shoulders near collarbones.

Female Natives

Female natives born in this Nakshatra will also enjoy more or less the same results as mentioned above in the case of male natives. In addition they will enjoy the following results:

1. Physical features : She is tall, sharp look, lean body. Her countenance and body are very beautiful.

2. Character and general events : She is very intelligent. She takes keen interest in the social work. Mentally always alert, quick-witted, selfish. Since she has a poisonous tongue, she has to be careful when entering to arguments or getting angry as in case she curses others, such curse has the power to harm others. She is educated, fond of fine arts. She will have children and devotes to her husband. Acquires considerable wealth. Enjoys good food. She will be lucky to have ornaments and fine clothing. She is greedy for wealth.

3. Education, sources of earnings / profession : Attains good knowledge in the mechanical or electrical engineering, telephones, electronics etc. It may become surprising that being a female native, how she is more interested in the jobs that are normally done by males.

4. Family life : Even after marriage, she keeps busy in various activities. She keeps her husband under her control. There may be one or two love affairs early in her life, which has not culminated into marriage. However, after marriage she is very much attached to her husband, as if nothing has taken place in the past.

5. Health : Intermittent health problems will take place. She is prone to goiter, pimples, venereal diseases, menstrual troubles and shoulder pains.

The longer I think about "Brave New World", the more unsure I am if Huxley really wrote a dystopia.

Today's youth seem to favour just such a world, and the media confirm me in this. Drugs should be legalized. Influencers promote Gucci and Prada for everyone. Netlix for passive entertainment in free time and Tinder for all you can f*ck. The fact that there are limited resources and that peace does not rule everywhere does not play a role for Huxley, but otherwise there is little that really speaks against the 'Brave New World'.
