The Fifth Nakshatra

23:20 Vrishabha - 06:40 Mithuna (Taurus-Gemini)

 

Location = "the head of Orion": lambda, phi-1 phi-2 Orionis -- The Circle of Stars

"The Deer's Head"


 

"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."

Mraga, for males, ~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 80.

  • "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 action and they can be quite dangerous to others whom they dislike.
