Mṛgaśīrṣā - The Curious One

Mṛgaśīrṣā means 'deer head' and, just like a deer, this sign is curious and likes to roam, innocently exploring new avenues of adventure. It is very creative and intellectual. The soft nature of the deer reflects its innocence in searching out new adventures. It is always on guard, just as a deer is hyper-vigilant to any sounds or movements. It a very social creature and highly attuned. It is ruled by the Moon god, further emphasizing its gentle nature.

​When the Moon transits Mṛgaśīrṣā, it's a good day for travel, study, and healing.
