Vedic Astrology

Mrigashira

Ruled by Mars, presided over by Soma, god of the moon and the nectar. The power to seek and to find fulfillment. The gentle searcher who tracks what the heart wants.

The read
  • Mrigashira's symbol is the deer's head, and its shakti is prinana, the power of fulfillment. The theme is the quest: a restless, curious seeking that follows a scent toward beauty, knowledge, or the right place to belong.
  • Soma, lord of the soft lunar nectar, presides here, lending a gentle, sensitive, slightly nervous quality. There is delicacy and refinement, an eye for the exquisite, and a tendency to keep moving in search of something just out of reach.
  • Mars rules it, giving the searcher drive and a sharp investigative edge beneath the softness. The growth edge is to land somewhere, to let the seeking arrive at fulfillment rather than become perpetual wandering.
