The useful line in a pile of data

Mrigashira Nakshatra

Mrigashira is ruled by Lord Soma. Lord Soma is known to be the divine form of Moon and more importantly Lord Soma is known to be behind the nectar of immortality for the gods. The gods rely on Lord Soma for immortality.

The gods also rely on Lord Soma for mental and physical strength. The Mrigashira native is likely to be relied upon by others. Like in a big company there's one person who's inspiring others. People rely on that person to perform. The entire company performs.

Like we see in sports there's one superstar and the whole team rallies around that person. This nectar of immortality is not only immortalizing the gods; it's also providing them strength. Therefore the entire nourishing industry, the industry linked to rejuvenation of our body, of our mind is directly linked to Mrigashira. Like in a warm sunny weather we drink a glass of lemon juice, we feel rejuvenated. It's a simple example but it's a good example of what Mrigashira is all about.

Mercury in Mrigashira

When Mercury is in Mrigashira, the person would have a very creative style of expressing oneself. Creative writers, digital marketers, advertisers, spokespersons, public speakers, the ones on television hosting a show, they are, in my view, linked to Mercury in Mrigashira. See, the ability to extract the most useful information is something the native would be known for. Mercury is very analytical.

It's a very intelligent planet. The native would have the ability to go through volumes of data, of information, and extract the most useful information from that. Like newspaper articles we read, maybe they talk about a big topic like, how do we see the inflation in the next one year? There are a number of variables that need to be considered, but this person would have the capability to understand that.

Similarly, the person can make an excellent financial advisor, just like Venus in Mrigashira. In Mercury's case, Mrigashira is more favourable for a career in financial advisory if the sign is Taurus, unlike Venus in Mrigashira, where the sign was more favourable if it was in Gemini. The reliability of a Mercury-Mrigashira-like person would be the reliability we experience from our friends: you know what, this guy I can call at any time in the night, and this person would be there to receive my call. But Mercury is also known for fickleness.

Here, there are two opposites. Despite the reliability of Mrigashira, the person can also change one's position. You may find some inconsistency in a Mercury-Mrigashira person's way of dealing with others. In one's social life, you will feel, you know, last month you were saying this, now you are changing your position.

The native is likely to be more flexible to changing circumstances. Like politicians, they say, we are going to do that, but then they realise, no, that may not happen. They change their ground. I'm not saying this in a negative way, but I'm trying to explain the flexibility that the native would have.

The ones who are on television, they are conducting a live programme, right? They form their opinions on the spot. A Mercury-Mrigashira-like person can have that quality. I think that person can make an excellent talk-show host if Mercury is in Mrigashira, particularly in the sign of Gemini.

Mercury signifies businesses. So the person's business can be design linked, can be linked to television, can be linked to public speaking, or the person's business can also be linked to the plant kingdom. Mrigashira has a direct link to the plant kingdom. The person may start a business in that sector.

Lastly, Mrigashira's tamasic energy under Mercury can translate to the person becoming too fickle in one's way of doing things. The person keeps changing one's position for one's own good. And here the politician is a prime example. They say, today they say something, tomorrow they shift their ground.

The person can become self-serving and may not carefully consider the consequences, which is directly linked to Mercury. When it's in Mrigashira, the person feels, this might be better for me. Let's shift our ground. It would depend on how Mars is placed and how Mercury in Mrigashira is placed in the Navamsha.

But that's my initial view on this position.
