"The Deer's

"Soma
desired. "May I win the lordship of the plants."
One who makes the
appropriate offering to Soma, to Mrigashira, wins the lordship of the plants,
wins the lordship of his peers.
Those born under Mrigashira want to provide the Soma, delight or
enjoyment to their peers.
They can be exhilarating and entertaining
leaders, shining on others like the Moon.
For this reason they usually do best
with a retinue of friends."

"Unless other testimonies in the
chart predominate to modify the effect of Mraga 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

Possibly this attitude is caused and
aggravated by some permanent organic disability which is usually the lot of
those who are born with Mraga rising."
