Mrigashira - The Star Of Searching

Mrigashira  "The Star Of Searching"  23.Taurus - 6.40 Gemini

· Symbol:

"Deer's Head” (Symbol of  Gentle aspects of Nature)

"Hunting Trophies" (Symbol of  Show Off)

"Wandering"

"DEER"

"Hunting Trophies"

· Deity: 

Soma, Chandra (The Moon God), God of Soma (Nectar) or Immortality

The deity is Soma who is the god of the immortal nectar. The Soma is the nectar of immortality that drips down from the head or the crown chakra. It is in the mind, like when we reach those deep states of inner bliss and ecstasy. That bliss of creation and existence, being drunk with god is being drunk on the Soma.

· Meaning: 

The deer is a beautiful symbol in between Taurus and Gemini because it is a four-legged animal like Taurus but it is skittish like a deer. It is also very tactile and quite sensual like a deer will smell the earth and enjoy the beauty of nature. These are all qualities of Mrigashira

It is called the “Wandering Star”, where we are wandering and searching for that idealic beauty. It is that innocent search of a deer connected with the bliss of the soul. Imagine a deer blissed-out and enjoying life but always watching for predators because it is definitely prey, always skittish.

· Stars:

 Mrigasira consists of four stars located in the constellation of Orion: Bellatrix (Gamma-Orionis), Pi2, Pi3, and Pi4-Orionis. Bellatrix is the brightest of these stars and is located on the right shoulder of Orion. These stars form the shape of a deer’s head, which is the symbol of Mrigasira. In the astrology chart, Mrigasira bridges the signs of Taurus and Gemini.

· Ruler:  The Star is governed by Mars. 

· Yoga Tara Degree:  27 degree

· Short Mythology:

Prajapati wanted to create beautiful beings to populate but there were no beings yet so he wanted to fornicate with his most beautiful daughter, Rohini. She did not want it so she turned herself into a deer and ran away. Mrigashira is that Nakshatra where Rohini has turned herself into a deer and fled. She does not understand that he wants to create physical beings and do it with the most beautiful of his holy daughters. Mrigashira has that kind of energy.

· Pada in Navamsa

First Pada (23° 20’ - 26° 40’ Taurus) falls in Leo and is ruled by Sun

This Pada relates to the fixed and unyielding side of Mrigashira, which however has the ability to express its experiences through creative and artistic activities.

Second Pada (26° 40’ - 30° 00’ Taurus)) falls in Virgo ruled by Mercury 

This Pada represents the discriminatory, calculative, satirical and humorous side of Mrigashira. Conversational acumen and strong mental ability of Mrigashira is more evident here. The fusing of planetary energies of Budh and Sukr takes place here in such a way that the more grounded practical side of Mrigashira is expressed.

Third Pada (00° 00’ - 3° 20’ Gemini) falls in Libra ruled by VENUS 

This Pada of Mrigashira which falls in Mithuna. The emphasis here is on sociability and a penchant for exploring the mental side of all types of relationships. Just like previous Pada, a fusing of mercurial and Venusian energies takes place here, but on a whole, this Pada is more airy in comparison to previous Pada, and thus cannot give strong material results

Fourth Pada (3° 20’ - 6° 40’ Gemini)) falls in Scorpio ruled by Mars.

This Pada relates to intellectual, argumentative, suspicious, flaky and whimsical part of this Nakshatra. This Pada is not as superficial as previous Tula Pada, but tends to over-intellectualize matters, rather than getting to the root of anything. Most of the negative qualities of Mrigashira find expression through this Pada. It can function wisely only in evolved souls and thereto through proper guidance.

• Born Under Mrigashira:

Mrigashira natives are good at artistic pursuits of all types. On a higher level, Mrigashira may allow one to find one’s life path or destiny and on a lower level, it can be wandering here and there like a deer. 

Mrigashira natives are often quite whimsical in their approach, Mrigashira craves excitement in all its mild forms and is not prone to go to self-destructive extremes like cruel nakshatras.

Mrigashira natives often display a highly suspicious nature. This comes about due to their high alertness levels and their ability to sense danger, just like deer. This suspicious nature is especially troublesome in regards to marital felicity. Like all the nakshatras ruled by Mars, Mrigashira promotes domestic bickering due to suspicion and an inability to be attentive to their partner’s needs. Their partners usually get more attached to them than they do.
