Mrigashira Nakshatra

Mrigashira Nakshatra is partly in Taurus and partly in Gemini. It resembles abundance of imagination, creativity and the search for enlightenment and ultimate joy. Imagine a beautiful deer wandering in a thick forest while pausing to look deeply into your eyes and jumping out of sight. This is the nature of a Mrigashira. This constellation spans from 23.20 degrees in Taurus up to 6.40 degrees in Gemini. They are the beautiful, golden deer wandering in deep, dark realms while you catch sight of them.

They will chase or make you chase but ‘chase’ always relates as the trait of a Mrigashira. It will fascinate you, intrigue you but can never be held. It is like a dream which you see only to realize it as a fantasy in your waking reality. This is the essence of Mrigashira. Imagination, fantasy, search for the ethereal and pursuit of ultimate joy. Some have it, some never do.

Distinctive Mrigashira Nakshatra Traits

Mrigashira traits teach a person to have a dream and chase it. It teaches us to make it a reality by striving for it. But it also teaches us the difference between fantasy and action to make it real. For an underdog, fantasy can be having exceptional education or professional expertise and recognition or becoming a world-renowned orator someday; reality is working for it to make it come true which makes the world know you as the underdog who made it big.

For example, someone who is the ‘usual’ or ‘normal’ becomes a fashion ensemble someday - Prada. Or a slum-dweller who gets a miracle-scholarship at Oxford. Mrigashira is the constellation which inspires you to chase a dream. It could have been the invention of a light bulb, or it could be movable homes built under water submarines. Mrigashira tests your capability to imagine and make it come true.
