Vishnu – Sustaining, Maintaining, Organising principle: Focus is to maintain order in the universe, in society and life. Their focus is to maintain what is here and keep things going. It primarily does this through organisation of the available resources. 

Deva: The planets relating with the Devas will promote more refined and righteous behaviour; but may struggle with pride and entitlement. They are more capable of understanding the subtitles of life. This is also used in chart matching. They say it’s best if both parties belong to the same tribe (8 points). However, they say that a deva and a rakshasa will get one point for the attraction of opposites). This is a very important classification suggesting that the way these three tribes (devas, humans & rakshasa) live is so different as to have a major effect on marriage compatibility and living together. 

Shudra Caste: They are natural servants and hard workers. Their friendly attitude and nice looks allows them to easily win over the public and they do well in customer service. Shudra’s are also hard workers and community-minded people.

Moksha: Motivated by moksha. They are freedom seekers and fighters. They are also peaceful and care free and are very unlikely to instigate confrontation. They want others to be just as free as themselves. Mrigasirsha, like all the gentler undomesticated animals of the forest, are freedom lovers.

Mridu – Soft / Mild: Gentle like a deer in the forest; they like to relax and enjoy themselves. The Moon’s transit here makes it a good time for peaceful, easy activities. Mrigasirsha can be flirty and enjoy dating, romance, ceremonial events like weddings and other things that bring them in touch with the group consciousness. And of course it can be great for a day at the pub, going shopping, taking a walk in the park, or just chilling out somewhere. It can be good for a little TLC, some gentle healing, shanti yoga, an art class, or just watching a movie. Nothing too stressful or dynamic, just a nice peaceful day. Chitra, Anuradha, Revati are the other Nakshatras that share this temperament. Friday’s are also meant to be a little relaxed. 

Passive: Planets here will be more passive about achieving their goals: allowing things to happen rather than “forcing” things. The Moon is said to persuade through temptation so she does well here. Venus draws us in by her promises of beauty so she also does well. Saturn is the master of patience so he also does well. The active planets can cause a bit of trouble in trying to force things that we should just allow to happen naturally. 

Tamasic: Activities take part on the gross physical plane: dark, depressed, dull, inert activities that obscure reality and keep us in the dark. Some kind of gross suffering is usually felt here and there’s a lazy sort of laissez-faire sort of laziness of lethargy. The energy here typically pulls a person down as it represents neither change nor purity. There is typically some suffering and darkness of mind experienced here. Tamasic has no nutrients and the prana is not moving; it’s stale or dead. Rajas – Tamas – Tamas, Despite the strong spiritual tendencies of Mrigasirsha, they typically maintain many materialistic habits and often accumulate wealth and comfort.

Earth element: Stability, grounding, solid, heavy. The earth element is ruled by Mercury and is connected to our sense of smell and our excretion. The earthiness perhaps provides a boundary for the water to pool (for Soma to become deeper). Soma also connects this nakshatra to plants and agriculture which depends on the earth. Transits here are a good time to get close to the earth. 

Pitta: Pitta nature reminds us that this is still a Mars Nakshatra. so despite the gentle godlike nature they can also be affected by the qualities of heat, oiliness, lightness, sharpness, and roughness. They can get a little rough sometimes, even in play and of course their tempers will flare if you don’t give them any way out. 

Neuter: Neither male nor female characteristics. Androgynous, asexual. Natives might have their sexuality questioned as they are unlikely to follow traditional gender roles. My personal files have a few transgender natives with placements here. And J.K. Rowling who has her 6th lord Jupiter places here finds here self in an ideological war with he transgender activists. 

Triyanga Mukha – Facing Straight Ahead (Level): This is a level-headed and forward looking position. It’s good for mundane, everyday tasks that allow us to prepare for the future. This nakshatra promotes an honest, realistic assessment. It marks a good time to level with others or yourself, to ensure that the playfield and the ground are all level. It can be a good time to start surveying, building, laying pipe, or sticking a level on anything. Mercury and Venus share this perspective. Ashwini, Mrigasirsha, Punarvasu, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Jyeshta and Revati are all forward looking.  

South: Planets here are likely to give their results in the south (some say east), or one may have some duties south from the home in this period. One can also face the south when worshipping this nakshatra or the deities related to it. When this asterism is placed in the southern quadrant of the chart it gains extra strength to give results. 

Sage Palasthya

He was happy to do so. Together they had one son named Vishrava, and he had two very famous children named Kubera and Ravana. Ravana was the king of the Rakshasas. He was the author of the Vishnu Purana, which details fundamental concepts of jyotish and mythology. He was also the originator of the Puranas: Brahma told him the stories and he passed them down to Sage Parashara. Vishrava, Agastya, Kinnaras and all the Rakshasa were his descendants.

He taught the Mangalya sthavam prayer to favour the completion of any jobs in proper fashion and without hindrance. He also taught the proper way of doing Vedic ritual: Take bath, do sandhya vandanam, and collect enough water to sprinkle over the  homa articles and the  house. Do achamana and start the Vedic rituals. 

Note: sandhya vandanam is a small ritual done at Sunrise, noon and Sunset. For Sunrise we have 48 minutes before Sunrise and 24 minutes after,  for noon hour sandhya we just have 24 minutes on either side and Sunset allows 24 minutes before and 48 after.) Achamana are the purification rituals, nyasas and various preparatory rituals that will be different for different gods and lineages. 

Female Cobra

Pairs well with the Male Cobra Ashlesha. 

Snakes represent the underground, entwining, poisonous, mysterious, crafty, cunning, sneaky aspects of humanity. Their sexual habits are shrouded in mystery. 

Male snakes have two penises but only use one at a time. The second penis is only used if they meet another partner shortly after the first one since the sperm from the first one would be used up. The male will occasionally kill a female after having sex, even if they have spent weeks together in a kind of courtship. After killing her he will swallow her and throw her up. (It’s not uncommon for king cobras to eat other snakes). When king cobras feel threatened they will usually raise their bodies and spit venom (up to 6 feet) before attacking. 

Cutch Tree – Khadira – Acacia Catechu

A medium sized tree that grows to about 9 – 12m, it has pale yellow flowers that become flat brown pods with 3 -10 seeds per pod. The leaves look like feathers with 50 pairs of leaflets each. It likes a variable climate. Bark, heart wood and resin are used and harvested Nov – Jan.
AyurVedic Classifies its taste as bitter & astringent, quality is light and dry with a cooling effect, the post-digestive effect is pungent. It’s used for skin problems like itching and blood related disorders.

Great blood purifier and skin rejuvenating herb. Good for leprosy. Good for teeth problems, obesity, worms, diabetes, fever, ulcers, and leucoderma. It’s used to pacify kapha disorders. Its fresh stems are used to massage the teeth and gums.It’s the main ingredient in Khadirarishta, which is used to detoxify the body of accumulations. 

Special Considerations

Moon Moolatrikona in the last 27ºs of Cancer.
Moon transiting Mrigasirsha on a Saturday is especially auspicious. 

Month of Mrigasirsha

Late autumn early winter. November December when the Sun is in Scorpio. 

9th month of the Hindu calendar. In Bhagavad Gita Krishna says that of the months, he is Mrigasirsha, marking it as the preeminent month of the year. The main event of the month is to try to please all the dead ancestors, not only from your family, but from humanity. Appreciation is given for the good times and the bad; even for the misfortunes we’ve suffered; everything that makes us who we are today and allows us to do what we do. Basically a month to recognise that whether we like it or not, we stand on the backs of everyone who was here before us; even animals, nature, gods; everything that exists on any level.  

Mrigasirsha Purnima is an important date for celebration and revelry because of the Soma relationship. Bathing in a sacred river or some kind of water ritual performed while chanting Om namo narayanaya can be performed by laypeople. 

Kaal Bhairava Ashtami: Devotion to Kal Bhairava and gifts to Brahmins, priests, and advisors. Dattatreya Jayanti is a day of sacrifice, charity & penance. Surya is also worshipped on this day. Gita Jayanti celebrates the birth of the Bhagavad Gita. Readings and reenactments can be done. 
Vivah Panchami celebrates the wedding anniversary of Sita and Rama, Marriage is not recommended on this day, but you’re encouraged to attend readings or reenactments for Ramayana. Other festivals happen for Amavashya (fasting), Mokshada Ekadashi, Maha Laxmi Vrat, Annaporna Jayanti & Utpana Ekadashi. 

The whole month should be filled with story and song, bhajan, kirtan, prayer, and devotion to the gods and ancestors. Enjoy this most auspicious month of the year. Tuesdays of Mrigasirsha are considered very auspicious.

Classical References

The moon crossed exaltation way back at 3 degrees Taurus. 

They classics tell us that Mrigasirsha rules over fragrant articles, garments, aquatic products, flowers, fruits, gems, foresters (or forest dwellers), birds, beasts, those who partake in Soma juice in sacrifices (those who inspire others), musicians, lovers and carriers of letters. The native will have a broad body, distinct eyes, prone to accidents in boyhood, sickly, fickle-minded with many enemies and much misery. They are enthusiastic, gentle, timid, a lover of peace, wealthy, soft-hearted, love-sick, knowledge of the arts of love, Tantra & kama sutra; and an enjoyer of sensual pleasures. They are lordly, learned, eloquent, industrious, and skilful. When Saturn transits Mrigasirsha misfortune befalls the people of the Vatsa country, those conducting or undertaking some kind of sacrifice, officiating priests, nobles and those living in the middle country.

Key Points of the Mrigasirsha

Fickle and timid, good speakers, sensitive to seasonal changes. They are wanders and restless, always watching for a sign that it’s time to move and then they move on instinct. They are not comfortable unless they know what’s coming next. This has certainly influenced myself and BV Raman to study astrology. We are soothed by knowing the future, having a plan and having an escape route. They don’t like to be backed into a corner.  They seek out positions of command since this allows them to control the situation. I’m put in mind of the lawyers dictum to never ask a question in court unless you already know the answer. Or from the Art of War: don’t go into battle unless you have already won the war. They are good company commanders always capable of anticipating what the enemy will do next. They likely traveled a lot as children and they may have played the role of navigator with the map in hand so they could anticipate the next town, the next stop along the way. Soma is anticipation, like the antelope they leap forward, get ahead of themselves. 

The Taurus side is more grounded, more concerned with chasing after wealth and sensual pleasures. The airy Gemini side tends to be more mental chasing after ideas and more ephemeral flavours. The Taurus Mrigasirsha will have very good taste and will be more of a story teller. The Gemini Mrigasirsha will like narrative 

Mrigasirsha natives are always seeking and searching for something more from life. They can be very passionate about life or at least for their chosen direction in life and they are quick to take action. The Mars rulership makes it a very active nakshatra as they seek our sensual pleasures, information and connection with others . On the Taurus side the search may be for more value (monetary or metaphysical) or for sensual beauty (in a crass or a refined way). On the Gemini side they will seek out ways to communicate their message, share information, and occasionally run with the pack.

They all love treasure maps, tracking and seeking, following clues. Mrigashirsha seems to get many of the qualities we might associate with the Martian qualities of being 8th from the 8th house. Soma has a mysterious quality, a kind of drunken Sufi mysticism but with an orientation towards research; not so much to find something new, but to put what already existed together in a new way. The 4th pada of Mrigashirsha is in Scorpio navamsha so it can be especially strong for occultism, research, underground publications, or secret societies. Placements in Mrigashirsha are generally good for prediction or anticipation of the future. Many visionaries and astrologers have planets here.

The Soma qualities of this nakshatra blur the edges between things allowing them to make connections between things where connection is not obvious. They can be very intuitive and tend to run on inspiration. They may be divinely inspired or merely inspired by drink. They are often found with some kind of addiction to drugs or alcohol. Words like distill or even still relate to this nakshatra in many ways. In addition to the connection with a still for making alcohol, we might also notice how deep they will stand still when they feel they can’t get away. Think of a deer in the headlights.  They act from inspiration and thus they often inspire others.

The nose and the eyes get special attention in this nakshatra. They are especially sensitive to smell and vision and they can often be recognised by their big doe eyes. It reminds me of the infamous eye’s of Guadalajara: the women from that part of Mexico have the most beautiful eyes: big, wide open, almost childlike and naive as they soak in the sights and smells of the world. But all forms of light come into play here: television, lasers, cameras and other light machines. A fondness for fragrances like perfume and incense can also be found here. They often have sensitive eyes and nose.

Their zest for love, life and experience means they will often try anything once and they can be branded a bit “crazy” by their friends. Early life is often more difficult than later life. In their early years they often don’t really know what they want so they run around with different groups of people and try different things in search for their path. This will typically carry them through a gauntlet of sensual pleasures without any real commitment. Mrigashirsha are more curious wanderers rather than serious researchers; they can seem to lack direction. But as they get older all those early skills and experiences of life start to come together for them and they find that they themselves are the common link and are able to forge a unique path as a jack of all trades. They are multitaskers who bring together a variety of experiences.

They are usually capable of filling every role in the workplace; they can do the whole thing by themselves if they must; and some might even prefer it this way rather than give up any control. They can be impatient and mistrustful of others.

The connection between Mars – Venus & Mars – Mercury are always fraught with some conflict. Although Mrigashirsha is well known as a very gentle nakshatra, when the passion takes hold they can be very aggressive and nothing will stand in their way.  Mars – Gemini combinations make good strategists for war or any action. Mercury measures and Mars cuts so together they benefit careers like engineering, carpentry, manufacturing, gem cutting, or even editors. They purify things by cutting away the impurities as what happens through pasteurisation and distillation. 

The Gemini side of this nakshatra can give them a very sharp mind as it brings information-intensive Mercury together with critical Mars. Of course these people always over think things. They’re out of their mind and they often live in their own little world cutting everything down and measuring everything against each other.

Gods & Symbols of Mrigasirsha

Soma

Soma was held captive by an archer named Krshaanu. A falcon stole Soma and him to Manu (the first sacrificer/the first man). “He covers the naked and heals the sick. The blind man sees and the lame steps forth. Let those who seek find what they seek; let them receive the treasure. Let him find what was lost before, let him push forward the man of truth.” (Rigveda)

Soma the drink was an intoxicating and possibly hallucinogenic drink made from a now unknown mixture of mountain herbs. It’s said to be the nectar of immortality that takes away all pain. It’s stored in the moon so as the gods drink the soma, the moon wanes. Indra was exceptionally fond of Soma and drank large amounts of it before fighting the serpent demon Vritra. 

Brahma & His Daughter

Brahman becomes infatuated with his daughter out of a desire to populate the world with humans. As she grows more and more uncomfortable under his watch, he continues to sprout heads in each direction so that he might always gaze upon her. When at last she changes herself into a deer to run away to the heavens and Brahma grows his 5th head to look upwards, Rudra grows impatient with his impudence and chops of his head.

The Divine Feminine

All the stories of Mrigasirsha highlight the feminine principle and some kind of imbalance in the relationship. Sita the doe eyed one, Saraswati who lives on the time of the tongue, Parvati, the daughter of Daksha who patiently does tapas by herself until she marries Shiva. And of course Brahma’s own daughter who takes on so many forms.

Orion

Born from Hyrieus as a boon from the gods whom he unselfishly fed with his only ox. He was told to bury the hide of the animal and to urinate on it for nine months. Orion, the great hunter, was born from this. He was such a great hunter that he was hired by the local king to kill the ferocious beasts that terrorized the locals. He became so proud that he claimed he would kill all the beasts of the earth. This angered the great mother Gaia and she sent a giant scorpion to kill him. Orion was taught to respect wild animals. He was said to have moved to a remote island for a simple life of peace: sleeping by day and hunting at night.

Orion was madly in love with Merope, daughter of king Oenopion, but he could not have her. One night he indulged in too much wine and tried to steal her but was caught by the king and blinded for his transgression. He regained his sight when he looked up at the sun. Artemis, huntress goddess of the moon and daughter of Zeus, was said to be in love with him and may have even come down from Mount Olympus to live with him, but this may have been his down fall as he may have died by her virgin hands while trying to rape her, or Apollo may have killed his out of jealousy. In the sky, he chases after the Pleiades while being chased by a scorpion. 

Deer Head – Antelope Head

Health

Circadian rhythms (or biological clocks) are our natural way of anticipating what comes next. It allows us to wake up two minutes before our alarm goes off, it sends us for food at the same time every day, it tells us when to use the toilet and even when it might be a good time to change our schedule for the season. This plays a huge role in stress reduction when we follow a set schedule; it’s even better if our internal clock matches the external clock. This is one area of medicine that everyone can agree on: modern medicine, Ayurveda and Chinese medicine

Tree of Mrigasirsha

Stars of Mrigasirsha

Three, four or five stars near the left shoulder and head of Orion also form the shape of a deer head. 

• Bellatrix (Gamma orionis): Stars Pi2, Pi3, Pi4 Orionis
• the constellation of words, is the brightest of these stars and is located on the left shoulder of Orion (Betelgeuse is on the right shoulder). 
• Means “female warrior” or “the conqueror.” Women born under this constellation will have wicked tongues. Men will be destined for great civil or military honours. 

Mrigasirsha: Taurus – Gemini

Taurus – Mrigasirsha	Gemini – Mrigasirsha
Treasure hunter	Information gatherer
Image, art, sensual beauty	Information, communication,

They tend to have troubles in relationships for a few reasons but it essentially comes down to the thrill of the chase or the complexity of the lure is what is important to them. Once they get what they want they can easily discard it since it was never about getting the person or thing, it was about knowing that they can get it. If that’s not hard enough on a relationship their continual quest for something more will continually disturb the marriage bond.

They are nostalgic folks who love to go back and walk familiar paths, noting the landmarks on the way. They make good guides and herdsmen. They typically have a good sense of direction, they like to keep moving and appreciate short trips. They can be quite routine and may even follow seasonal routes like a nomad. The Mars – Moon influence on this nakshatra suggests that they may have a strong connection to the circadian rhythms giving them extra sensitivity to daylight both daily and seasonally.

They may be involved in all kinds of seasonal jobs or activities. One of the main advantages to the biological clock is that it allows us anticipate what is coming up which is another strong trait in Mrigasirsha natives. This also makes them good at astrology since they are able to anticipate the future. Of course it’s also why they have a reputation for being fickle or paranoid. After all, the deer wants to start running before the lion attacks; they have to be prepared to act at all times.

Farming, working with animal herds or migratory species, veterinary medicine, and animal trainers can all be found with planets in Mrigasirsha. Sitcom actors often have this, along with seasonal construction workers, sports players, tax accountants, tourist guides, or any other job that is performed in a particular season. You may even find Santa Clause at the shopping mall with placements here.

Since this is a Mars-ruled nakshatra, Mrigasirsha natives are usually adept at handling fire, steel and weapons, and they can be very competitive. This can make them handy with kitchen implements, pins & needles, golf clubs, weapons, tools, campfire, welding, scissors, clippers, hairdryers and heating implements. 

Mrigasirsha natives are usually very social and will go out of their way to help others. They are not afraid to take action, They are likely to be involved in (or leaders of) community groups, local council, church or school activities; or perhaps they merely have a loyal tribal following or a close group of friends. They lead the pack in some way. For women this is often seen in their pioneering fashion sense and quickness to get the latest gadgets for the home. Men will often lead the work crew and will likely be the first to get the latest tool or gizmo. 

Men are particularly prone to seek leadership and may do so aggressively. They make good coaches and managers and will likely have some close brotherhoods, guild association, world crew, or band that they spend time with. There is no shortage of world leaders with planets here. Their limited tribal perspective can cause them to miss the bigger picture making them seem narrow minded, quaint, provincial, like village people. Knowledge of hunting or shooting is not uncommon (especially when Mars or Sun is placed here).

“When someone seeks,” said Siddhartha, “then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing because he always thinks only about the thing he is seeking, because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.”― Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

Planetary Rulers of Mrigasirsha 

Mars: Competitive, warrior, inventive, penetrating, provocative, dynamic, active, cutting, drilling, hot, brotherhoods, athletes, innovative. 

Taurus + Mars: Sleek, sexy athletic image, competitive image based behaviours, driven to enjoy, takes action to please others, can be a good negotiator. Values activity. actively seeks pleasure. The mix of mars’ hot passion and Venus’ sensual pleasure is best suited for short term relationships or relationships where the negotiated agreement can be continually renegotiated. Can be good for commercial success, but they might be better off working in the privacy of the studio or behind closed doors. They may do well hosting retreats or tours, working in secluded research environments or private clubs. 

Gemini + Mars: They often experience a mix of success and failure in commercial enterprise and group initiatives. They often have many different projects going at once. Communication can be sharp and commanding, making them appear grouchy, but they may excel in communications business: teaching, instructing, describing. Gemini’s group initiatives and Mrigasirsha’s herd instincts come together with Mars’ quick instincts which allows them to be at once the leader of the pack while also jumping to conclusions that can lead them astray. Can be beneficial for those working in therapeutic settings; otherwise they may find themselves in the middle of large scale problem sets or be scandalised by secrets. May resort to crime, theft, or breaking contracts in order to gain advantage. 

Pada 1 (Taurus + Mars + Leo): 

Usually very intelligent, critical minded. They have good taste and likes to receive a lot of attention. Entertainment value. Central figures in fashion, beauty, arts, movies, music industries. One may be famous but still make less money. May be an aggressive collector or banker. Actively seeks to make things shine. Actively seeks the most unique and original side of oneself. Seeks self empowerment and authority. 

Pada 2 (Taurus + Mars + Virgo):

Actively seeks to fix things, may appreciate the value of broken things, sick people, litigation, argument, imbalance, The Mars-Virgo side of this can be very critical, always looking for mistakes of others; though they can also be hard on themselves as well. They can get lost in their work and there are usually a lot of small details that need their attention. In some instances this may delay the release of their work (possibly indefinitely as they move onto the next project). This 

Pada 3 (Gemini + Mars + Libra): 

Sociability and the mental side of relationships. Can make a person a little flaky. Excellent explorer but too much suspicion or the motives of others. Providing balanced or harmonious communications. Can be very attractive and diplomatic public speakers. They often become teachers or caretakers of the herd.

Pada 4 (Gemini + Mars + Scorpio):

hate others, sexy, endowed with many children, with injured head, always sick, fools and daring

The moon is debilitated in this pada and Saturn and Rahu also give difficult results. This is the most manipulative, dark, and sexual pada filled with secrets. It can be channelled into research, psychology, surgery, or trauma counselling, but for most people difficult placements here can bring deadly or traumatic results.  They might feel the need to look into the abyss and comment on it. 

Planets in Mrigasirsha

Ascendant in Mrigasirsha

Male Native: “Unless other testimonies in the chart predominate to modify the effect of Mrigasirsha rising, these people may be very unpleasant characters. They are inclined to be misanthropic in their attitude toward life and people. They seem always to see the worst side of people and of conditions. They are suspicious of other peoples’ motives and even vicious at times. Unless checked, these thoughts will lead to vicious action and they can be quite dangerous to others whom they dislike. Possibly this attitude is caused and aggravated by some permanent organic disability which is usually the lot of those who are born with Mrigashirsa rising.” — Shil-Ponde

[Many charts have not been confirmed so ascendant and even Moon nakshatras may not be correct. There may be inconsistencies regarding the house placement of the planets as well. Use your own judgement. A healthy dose of scepticism should be applied to astrological data generally.]

Sun in Mrigasirsha

Highly unique and creative-intelligence. They can be very independent people who follow their own path. They are often ahead of their time in some way. They might become icons of a movement and they don’t shy away from controversy and can get into trouble due to their self-indulgent nature. They shine a light on the chase, the quest; searching, seeking. They are the pioneers, trail blazers and guides who show the rest of us the path. Jordan Peterson’s “Self Authoring” program is a good example of this. Besides this, his talks have given direction to millions of people on how to take action to improve their lives. One of his great pieces of advice that is very applicable to this Sun is to break big problems down in to small easy steps so that we can face a series of small problems rather that that one big problem.

Their whole life revolves around the thrill of the chase, hunting, shopping, looking for things. They could be collectors, corporate head hunters, trail-blazers who like to be at the head of the pack. Leaders, guides, explorers, artists, creative types. They might have played a lot of hide-and-seek or tag as a child. Being chased by the father early in life can lead to being chased by authority later in life. This can be especially cruel or awkward for the ladies who may have to deal with lustful authority figures, father figures, and other large egos.

Bepin Behari Sun in Taurus: “the powerful voice indicating fruitlessness of sensual involvements will much impress upon the Moon chart, and if the Moon chart is not well attuned to this message, the individual will have too be prepared for some stress and strain.”

Bepin Behari Sun in Gemini: “will send its message in intelligent language so that the Moon chart is activated and he begins to see the wisdom and reasonableness of what the soul of the individual want him to follow.”

Pada

Sun in Mrigasirsha (Taurus) Pada 1 Leo Navamsha: Unique, creative, artistic types involved with a variety of Arts: writing, painting, radio, film, music, architecture. They are usually very intelligent and believe strongly in intellectual freedom and creative licence. They can be insistent on maintaining creative control and are unlikely to sell out their values. They usually have strong faith in god.

Sun in Mrigasirsha (Taurus) Pada 2 Virgo Navamsha: is more likely to shine a light on the imbalances that exist in this world, they can be very critical and argumentative as they face problems head on.

Sun in Mrigasirsha (Gemini) Pada 3 Libra Navamsha: Sun’s debilitated navamsha gives a friendly neighbourly way of expressing oneself, but the debilitation in Navamsha can cause an inferiority complex which results in much compromise in order to please others. They might even find themselves fully under the control of their partner. This position can also lead to a weakened immune system.

Sun in Mrigasirsha (Gemini) Pada 4, Scorpio Navamsha: is also friendly and neighbourly, but this could be hiding a darker side. There is something mysterious about the way they express themselves; like there’s a secret just below the surface; something they are not saying. They might deal in mythology or fantasy and will likely be involved in scandal of some kind, or at least indulge in some guilty pleasures.

Mars in Mrigasirsha

This is Mars’ own nakshatra so despite being an enemy of Mercury & and neutral to Venus (while they are both neutral to Mars) Mars gives good results here. Strength or quickness of arms, courage to do what everyone else is thinking but no one wants to admit. They can be divisive figures which is more likely to give them a cult-like following than mass appeal but they may be widely known in either case. Several fashion models have this mars. Very active in seeking something more from life: more power, more control, their assault may be multi-pronged and they can be control freaks. Since Mars is also the karaka for the circadian rhythms, they usually have an impeccable biological clock allowing them to act in anticipation of a competitor’s next move. They seem to not only know what is going to happen next, they act upon this intuition (anticipation). They tend to boil things down to their essence, think things out, or cull the herd. They are the essence of the movement they represent. It’s likely that they will have some kind of weapons training or knowledge: guns, knives, golf clubs, fire and steel generally. Movement, competition, this world of form in their soma. The women are likely to meet with very aggressive men and stocking may occur.

Mercury in Mrigasirsha

Their inspiring media can tap into the collective consciousness. They are excellent communicators, logical, analytical, quick good story tellers, though their mind can wander. But if it’s not afflicted they’ll ask themselves, or the audience: “Where was I?” Where am I?” They can be very descriptive since they take everything in when they come to a new place. They like to map things out but they can easily find themselves thinking outside of the box with these wandering minds. They like workshops, wandering book shops and synchronising with the group. They seek to capture the essence through their writing and communications. they can be good poets, writers and media professionals. They like to talk about and analyse the hunt, the search the research. They do very well with modern social media and like to keep up with the latest news.

The Taurus side of this might be more interested in talking about finance, food, stored goods assets and image while the Gemini side is more informational, talking about short trip, group activities

Pada

Mercury in Mrigasirsha Pada 1 (Taurus), Leo Navamsha: The diary of Anne Frank is a personal account of being hunted and chased by authority..

Mercury in Mrigasirsha Pada 2 (Taurus), Virgo Navamsha: Hermann Hesse’s characters were infamous seekers of self knowledge. Bob Dylan has numerous songs about being on the road, folk tales Sung about fighters, and his “Self Portrait” albums which have numerous songs that sum up Mrigashirsa quite well. The song Copper Kettle is especially interesting in this regard for the story of the prohibition battle against excessive taxation by the mountain Moon-shine (soma) makers. Take note of Dylan’s Mercury in the 2nd pada of Virgo which gave him great sympathy for the working man.

Mercury in Mrigasirsha Pada 3 (Gemini), Libra Navamsha: we find Mercury analysing and discussing relationships, yoga, and unions. Astrologers, mystics and tantrics are well represented here. They are very good at putting people at ease. It can be an especially flirty position, they are great talkers, chatty and friendly, but the Mars influence can bring a competitive or provocative edge to their communication. Relationships tend to be casual and remain on the light side. They might use the products of Soma (drugs or alcohol) in order to foster an agreeable atmosphere.

Mercury in Mrigasirsha Pada 4 (Gemini), Scorpio Navamsha: Hugh Laurie played the role of House M.D. who was a fictional diagnostician and surgeon with an addiction to pain meds (soma). Laurie’s Mercury is in the 4th pada to bring out the psychological, surgical, qualities of Mrigasirsha. Nikola Tesla, the “Father of Free Energy,” with Mercury in the 4th pada of Scorpio, we find a vast array of inventions and discoveries as well as numerous visions of the future that were far ahead of their time. He called alcohol an elixir of life but did not use tobacco or caffeine. He believed “everything is light” and  by the end of his life lived on a diet of milk and honey. A very high intelligence and an incredible memory which seems to be common with people who have Mercury in Mrigashirsa generally; as is the ability to predict (or anticipate the future).

Venus in Mrigasirsha

Anytime Venus is activated by Mars there are sexual overtones. These people love the chase and may play catch-and-release so that they can continue hunting. Due to this they tend to have a lot of relationships; and they tend to seek out the real stunners: young and sexy. This means they have to keep themselves groomed in a competitive manner. They love to drink, or at least the females in ones life will like it, there are of course purer and sexier somas than alcohol. They may prefer the fancy, colourful cocktails, dance clubs, and the finer things in life. They search for love, appreciation, balanced agreements can be a little aggressive and stocking can occur here; or the women in one’s life might experience this. Venus will give them an appreciation for Soma influenced atmosphere: bars, nightclubs, waterside resorts and spas. They might like fantasy and role playing.

It’s interesting that we find a couple championship goaltenders from hockey with this placement (and it’s obviously not an exhaustive list). Venus in Mrigashirsa seems to highlight the passive nature of tracking the enemy; perhaps as they hunt you. The deer (the daughter) is after all they hunted, the prey, they bait in the myth. But they will know this game well and are capable of playing it to their advantage. This Venus in a Mars nakshatra seem to also love speed, fast games, fast cars, fast women; intense and passionate in all parts of life. They might find that women come after them, to star with them, therapists who want to heal them or fix them

“Our individuality is all that we have. There are those who barter it for security, those who repress it for what they believe is the betterment of the whole society, but blessed in the twinkle of the morning star is the one who nurtures it and rides it in, in grace and love and wit, from peculiar station to peculiar station along life’s bittersweet route.” ― Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume

Pada

Venus in Mrigasirsha Pada 1 (Taurus), Leo Navamsha: These woman will love to be noticed. Venus Mrigashirsa ladies can be sexually aggressive, and of course the men with this placement will love these aggressive women.

Venus in Mrigasirsha Pada 2 (Taurus), Virgo Navamsha: Venus is debilitated in the Navamsha. Relationship might be inappropriate due to both age and an imbalance in power. This pada represents the love of youth, innocence and virginity. We can look to Al Pacino and the young ladies he works with in his movies. Scent of a Woman has proximal overtones of Mrigasirsha. Women tend to be good healers, spa workers, massage therapists, masters of masking problems. Men with this might seek partners who to mask their problems rather than face them.

Venus in Mrigasirsha Pada 3 (Gemini), Libra Navamsha: Venus in own sign in the Navamsha. Seeking a very balanced aesthetic. Some excellent writers a d

Venus in Mrigasirsha Pada 4 (Gemini), Scorpio Navamsha: Secret society and taboo relationships; sex (a good fuck) can change their life. It’s been reported that Krishnamurti had a couple much younger girlfriends he met in his tours. Of course women with Venus in the 4th pada are likely to exude alluring sexuality themselves.

Rahu in Mrigasirsha

This is a Captain Ahab placement that causes people to become obsessed with the hunt, with research, with seeking something more from life. But unfortunately they often use intoxicants for this search. They usually have have an addictive personality. Steroids, pain killers, ganja or other illicit or exotic elixirs are common. Several prominent ganja smokers have this placement; it’s as if that dark oily smoke is the elixir of life.

The Taurus side of this is especially prone to illicit pleasure seeking and sex. Since this nakshatra relates to fulfilment, Rahu’s insatiable quest becomes all the more urgent due to the anticipatory qualities of Mrigasirsha, but no satisfaction can be found. The Gemini side is more likely to make someone obsessed with their research. This can be wasted on a google scholar or keyboard warrior, or it can be more effectively used for journalism, police detective work, psychology, or science. They tend to get into peoples heads somehow. Possibly in the way that they say Trump lives in liberal minds rent free. His media witch-hunt is also a good example of Rahu in Mrigasirsha. They are likely to represent the outcaste of society (but in a way they are misfits who are accepted by society).

Pada

Rahu in Mrigasirsha (Taurus) Pada 2, Virgo Navamsha: Think of the character played by Stallone in Rambo First Blood, or the kind of media attention given to criminal minds like Aldrete, Bernardo and Dr Dre. They are often liars who like to play mind games and manipulate people. To some extent all Mrigashirsa natives play some kind of mind game, but those with Rahu here are especially manipulative.

Rahu in Mrigasirsha (Gemini) Pada 3, Libra Navamsha: will make all kinds of promises they can’t keep just to please people and keep the peace; but of course this often backfires and they can use the peaceful nature of others against them.

Rahu in Mrigasirsha (Gemini) Pada 4, Scorpio Navamsha: can be especially deadly, but they all make good public relations people capable of manipulating the masses. They tend towards excessive selfishness, indulgence, vulgarity or narcissism.  Clintons war on drugs, Bush’s war on terrorism and his hunt for Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. Now Kamala Harris found power in her quest against racism. These are all useful pretexts for never ending war due to the foggy nature of their quest.

Ketu in Mrigasirsha

These people jump to conclusions, take leaps of faith and get on the bandwagon. Their intuition lacks a filter and they may smell a rat where there is none. They don’t want to be left behind and they may want to move forward either. There may be something shadowy about their search. They are always looking for something; but nothing in particular. Chaos and frenzy might provide them with the soma elixir and inspiration. However they still might find that the hunt is empty, futile, perhaps the prey has already surrendered. Empty space, the sound of a vacuum, a bit of mist in the air bring inspiration. At some point in life they will come to a point of emptiness, where nothing means anything, pointless, without value. This feeling might chase them like a ghost.

They might also chase after oddities, strange curiosities. Bill Gate must be so bored. Ketu represents the two opposite poles of kundalini and has perhaps inspired the string theorists in their hunt. The pregnant man certainly did his best to bring the two poles together and the whole list is scattered with a variety of tantrics. Inspiration is dangerous and it probably comes very randomly for many of these people; they don’t really know where it will come from.

Ketu can also scatter the herd in Mrigasirsha, this might mean the family, perhaps even the end of a family lineage in Taurus or the group and gang breaking up and going their separate ways.

According to BPHS Ketu is exalted in Taurus, moola trikona in Cancer, and ruler of Virgo. Phala Deepika say Ketu is strong in the later half of Taurus, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces.
