Planets in Mrigashira Nakshatra

Moon in Mrigashira

When Moon is in Mrigashira, the person has a very artistic mind. The person would have a strong nourishing side. The person starts playing the role of a mother like asking your friends did you drink enough water? Did you take that medicine?

The person is relied upon by others for strength. Like you say, whenever I have a problem, I call that particular friend. The person is also going to have a very social side. If Mrigashira falls in the sign of Gemini, then the person is a non-stop speaker.

The person has many stories to tell and very interesting stories to tell. The creative ability would also lie in the native's ability to extract the most useful creative idea. Like in a design firm you go through many different ideas and then you filter down the best suited for that project. The person would have the capability to do so.

The person can be self-centered and intent on pleasing oneself. That naturally depends on how Mars is placed and how Moon is placed in the Navamsha but that would be seen in the person's way of life. And the person may have a natural interest in the world of plants like we hear stories that person has so many plants or that person is very fond of gardening. That is my view of Moon in Mrigashira.

Sun in Mrigashira

When Sun is in Mrigashira, I see a person who has the ability to inspire others with one's innovative, imaginative, creative thinking. Like an art director inspiring other art directors so you become like a source of inspiration. If however Mrigashira falls in Taurus the person may also be very proud in a not so nice way of one's creative ability. If it's in the sign of Gemini the person's style of speaking can be authoritative that this is my idea follow my lead.

The person can be a CEO of a design firm so others rely on the CEO. They rely on the CEO's creative ideas. The person may end up playing a father figure in the lives of others in the creative industry. The desire for excellence would also be linked to making a name for oneself like we hear stories that so-and-so artist was very fond of winning that award for the best design this year.

So the person is also going to be driven by the recognition, the gain in authority accompanied with the creative side to this Nakshatra. The greatest quality of the person would be the person's consistency and the person's reliability. People would feel okay I can rely on this person. Sun is a lot about consistency and so is this Nakshatra.

The person can be very self-centered and that may affect the person's relations with other people whether it's in their personal life or in their professional life depending on where Sun is placed. The person would be very reluctant in my view to take any support from anyone else. The person might feel I am independent and I can achieve this big task all by myself. And lastly, Sun is known to eradicate diseases and this Nakshatra has a lot to do with the plant kingdom.

So the person can come up with a medicinal plant which might help you become more mentally and physically active. So the person can also have an association with the healthcare industry particularly in helping others gain strength in some ways. That's my view of Sun in Mrigashira.

Mars in Mrigashira

Mars in Mrigashira translates to an artist who is very passionate and driven. And immediately the person can go to the extreme. Oh, this is a project I want to do. And I want to make sure this is the best.

I want to achieve excellence. Mars is known for tamasic energy. And so is this Nakshatra. The person could go to the extreme.

And here, if the sign is Gemini, the person can become excessively competitive with the use of words. The person may start saying things about competition. Now, you know what? My creations are much better.

Look at the number of hits this person's creation has. Here the person would find more peace when creativity requires a level of competition, as in sports. Sports is a great example.

Every now and then we look at a sports person, we say this person has a very artistic way of playing. Like a footballer on the field, we see, okay, this person had this artistry. That is a very Mars-Mrigashira-like quality. Artistic, at the same time, very competitive.

The person can be an innovator. Mars is known for unparalleled technical skills. And therefore, when technical skills and creativity come together, the person can excel in engineering. The person can also have a background in finance or the fintech industry if Mars-Mrigashira is in Taurus.

The person's creations are going to be flawless. So a Mars-Mrigashira native is an artist who will go to the extreme, but the creations would be unparalleled. The creations would be so accurate and so precise that the precision and accuracy itself would be very worthy of praise. Others might rely on a Mars-Mrigashira-like person for one's technical prowess and the native is likely to help others by being physically present and helping them in tangible ways.

So others might feel we can rely on a Mars-Mrigashira-like person as this person would be physically here and would practically explain how things have to be done. That is the maternal side of Mars in Mrigashira. The person can have a background in the oil and gas industry or any other industry linked to purification of any kind, particularly if Mars in Mrigashira is linked to one of your career-related houses. And the person can also make an excellent motivator.

The person can inspire people around oneself to be mentally and, more importantly, physically active. Mars in Mrigashira, however, can fall prey to being very self-centered, going to the extreme. And that is the aspect of this combination that the native has to be careful about.

Mercury in Mrigashira

When Mercury is in Mrigashira, the person would have a very creative style of expressing oneself. So 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. So 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? So 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. Now, 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.

So here, there are two opposites. Despite the reliability of Mrigashira, the person can also change one's position. So 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.

So 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. So 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.

So the ones who are on television, they are conducting a live programme, right? So they form their opinions on the spot. So 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. And 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. So 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. And when it's in Mrigashira, the person feels, this might be better for me. So let's shift our ground. So 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.

Jupiter in Mrigashira

When Jupiter is in Mrigashira, the native is an art director. The person is going to be very knowledgeable in the field of art. Like we meet individuals and they say, you know what, I have visited so many art galleries, so many museums, and this is what I know. This is my understanding.

The art from the 1940s was like this. The oil they were using at that time was like that. That is Jupiter in Mrigashira, particularly if the sign is Taurus. The desire for excellence and the desire for the unattainable is likely to be better controlled when Jupiter is in Mrigashira.

The person would have a philosophical understanding of things. The person would search for a purpose behind one's creations. Like we come across creative projects and we get a sense of how thoughtful that project is. The project is telling a story.

The project is actually educational. The person can even be a teacher of art with this combination. This desire for excellence can lead to exploration. The native might feel I need to travel elsewhere for inspiration.

Like let's go to South Korea and I've heard the fine art there is really interesting. So the person's travel and related interests are linked to inspiration. The person is in search for some creative inspiration. Jupiter very importantly is directly linked to spirituality and getting the right guidance in this domain.

Mrigashira is strongly linked to spirituality. So the person can become a seeker of one's divine self. The person can then enlighten oneself with proper guidance. And that is an aspect that the person must strive to go after.

The person's style of nourishing and protecting others would be through knowledge. The native helps people around oneself who rely on the native by educating them. You know what, this is how you can do it. I'm giving you the knowledge, the necessary purpose.

Now it's up to you to act. So the person's way of helping others is by motivating them, by educating them. So motivational speakers can be seen with Jupiter in Mrigashira, particularly if the sign is Gemini. A Jupiter-like person is known to be of help to others and the divine aspect of this Nakshatra, the helpful aspect of this Nakshatra would be best expressed when Jupiter finds itself in this section of the sky.

That's my view.

Venus in Mrigashira

When Venus is in Mrigashira, Venus is all about creativity and so is this Nakshatra, so there's a lot in common between Venus and Mrigashira. In terms of love which Venus symbolizes, the person can be very picky that I have gone on many dates but I just cannot find the right person. That's a very Venus-Mrigashira-like way of thinking and if the sign is Gemini then the person can be in more than one relationship or many relationships in one's life. Not necessarily throughout life, I'm just referring to the time when we are in the phase of exploration.

So here the exploration can be a bit never-ending. The person can make an excellent financial advisor. Mrigashira is a lot about this ability to extract useful material from raw materials. So as a financial advisor what do you do?

You look at the circumstances and you give your advice. So you extract the most useful data from raw data and you give your advice based on that. The person is likely to be pleasure-seeking and therefore this desire to please oneself is a desire the person would need to control. And this pursuit of excellence in creative projects can also lead the person to following paths which aren't very advisable or aren't very helpful.

The person can go to the extreme. I had earlier taken the example of Alan Turing. The maternal side of Mrigashira can lead to the person helping others build relations and strengthen their relations. The person can make an excellent relationship counsellor, particularly if the sign is Gemini.

And the person would be relied upon for one's advice, one's guidance. Venus belongs to the caste of a Brahmin. So the person can be actually like a counsellor of some kind, whether it's in the creative industry or the love industry. And since Mrigashira is linked to the plant kingdom and Venus signifies the beauty industry, the person can also find oneself linked to the cosmetics industry.

Perfumes come to mind, particularly if Venus in your chart is linked to one of your career-related houses. That is my view of Venus in Mrigashira.

Saturn in Mrigashira

When Saturn is in Mrigashira, the extraction process that I had linked to the extraction of the nectar of immortality would now be the focus. That extraction process is a very careful process and Saturn is all about being careful for a very long time. Like we hear stories that a car which is manufactured in that workshop, it takes so many man hours. It's carefully assembled, it's hand assembled.

So a Saturn-Mrigashira-like person would have that capability to create something over a long time using one's technical skills but also doing it manually. Handmade products that we see are directly linked in my view to Mrigashira, particularly if the sign is Taurus. The person would be very dependable, particularly if the sign is Taurus. Like the eldest in the family, a grandfather.

We rely on the grandfather every time there's an issue we go up to the grandfather. A Saturn-Mrigashira-like person could have that place in one's friend circle or one's family. Ancient sciences are linked to Saturn and the plant kingdom is linked to Mrigashira, so there might be something common there. The person can become a student of Ayurveda, for example, and use medicinal plants for healing others.

The person may also use art as a form of public service, like bringing people together for a workshop to promote a sense of community and to also use art as a form of therapy. That's how I see Saturn-Mrigashira. Saturn has a darker side and this Nakshatra has a tamasic side, so therefore the person can find oneself locking oneself in a room thinking that my creations were not appreciated or it has taken me so long. Am I ever going to finish what I started?

The person can get into this downward spiral thinking negatively and that is an aspect of one's way of thinking the person needs to overcome. Saturn-Mrigashira, if the sign is Gemini, the person can be an excellent communicator, an editor for example. With Saturn in Mrigashira and the sign of Taurus, your career can also be in risk management. But if the energy is channelized very well, a Saturn-Mrigashira-like person is someone who's never going to give up.

As Mrigashira's pursuit of excellence is met with Saturn's consistency, the person would have the ability to eventually be seen as a master technician. That is my view of Saturn in Mrigashira.

Rahu in Mrigashira

When Rahu is in Mrigashira, the person is likely to delude oneself into thinking that by accomplishing a creative project, the person is likely to achieve happiness. So the person would find oneself constantly chasing the wrong goal in life. Particularly if the sign is Gemini, the person's mind would be racing. I can do this, I can do that, I have this business idea, I have this creative idea.

And that is something the person needs to be more thoughtful about. Rahu is known for addictions and Mrigashira has a tamasic side. So if you find yourself having Rahu in Mrigashira and about to enter Rahu's antardasha for example, then you need to be careful. You need to be careful and also hopeful that Rahu's dasha is not going to stay forever.

So if you do find yourself in that phase of life where you feel by doing something I'll escape my problems, you must know that these problems are also limited by time. The creative ability would be unique. Your creations are likely never to have been done before. Rahu belongs to the caste of an outcast.

Rahu in Mrigashira could inspire others due to the unique creative ability, but the others might feel that they cannot rely on a Rahu-Mrigashira-like person, particularly if the sign is Gemini. So they would feel that this person had told us that I'll be available for help, but the person isn't. So the person gives you the illusion that I can be relied upon, but the person would not be reliable in practice. It might be that the person is so self-centered and so involved in one's creations that the person forgets one's commitments.

That's one way of looking at this. Rahu has this unreliability linked to it in Mrigashira, and the native is likely to be unfocused. Rahu is a lot about exploration, so foreign objects discovered underground can also be an area of interest for the native, including in the oil and gas industry. When a new site is discovered and has to be drilled, Rahu can be linked to such projects at foreign sites.

And lastly, the person is likely to constantly seek a change and the purpose behind this desire for change would be to search for inspiration. So a Rahu-Mrigashira-like person can be very fond of travel. Then I went to this foreign place and I discovered that. This desire to discover things is inherently linked to the desire to build something unique and for that you need inspiration.

So the person may have this constant desire to challenge oneself by putting oneself in foreign places or foreign circumstances. It's a difficult position as the person can go to the extreme and that is something the person needs to control.

Ketu in Mrigashira

When Ketu is in Mrigashira, the person can find oneself running into circumstances where the person is searching for answers from within. So that nectar of immortality present at the eye centre can be explored by a Ketu-Mrigashira-like person. The person is likely to have natural creative ability. The person can be a student of ancient sciences linked to rejuvenation of the body by the use of plants in particular.

The person can also have a career in extraction and purification, particularly if Ketu is in the 10th house. The person can also make an excellent financial analyst. Ketu is excellent at analysing numbers and particularly if it falls in the sign of Taurus in this section of the sky, the person would possess piercing logic. The person would not be dependable.

Others might feel they can rely on a Ketu-Mrigashira-like person, but the person, when in need, may be absent. A Ketu-Mrigashira-like person would have this strong desire to find answers in solitude. So the person can also constantly search for that by means of travel or moving away from society and that is where this Tamasic energy would come into play. Here the person might feel, oh I haven't been appreciated for my creativity, I'll lock myself away; I'll go to that mountain or even fall prey to addictions.

The person would go to the extreme in pursuit of excellence and these are aspects that the native would have to be very careful about. Well this is my view on Mrigashira.
