Mrigashira

Mythology

The symbol is the deer's head — wandering after a sweet scent, tasting what it finds yet unsatisfied. Its deity is Soma: the sacred nectar poured into the Moon, granting immortality but addictive in a single drop. Mars rules the journey, Soma the dream; together a graceful restlessness.

Astrological reading

Moon in Mrigashira gives a constant seeking — new knowledge, new person, new place. Gentle but wandering. Strong communication; writer, traveler, researcher. Risk: never reaching satisfaction, always "just a bit more"; pattern of avoiding commitment.
