Mrigashiraमृगशिरा
Mrigashira is the fifth Nakshatra (23°20' Vrishabha–6°40' Mithuna), symbolized by a deer's head and ruled by Soma (the Moon deity). Its Yoni (compatibility animal) is Serpent, its Gana is Deva, and its Nadi is Madhya (Pitta).
Mrigashira appears on all four of this app's "good" Muhurat Search activity lists — vehicle purchase, property purchase, Griha Pravesh (housewarming), and new job — one of only three Nakshatras (with Anuradha and Revati) that clear every activity this app currently scores.
Mrigashira's Visha Ghati begins at the 14th ghati (of 60) — relatively early in the Nakshatra's span.
Mrigashira is ruled by Soma, associated with the Moon and its nourishing, searching quality. Its symbol is a deer's head, representing gentle curiosity and the perpetual search for something just out of reach. Its ruling planet (Nakshatra lord, used in Vimshottari Dasha sequencing) is Mars.
Classical texts associate Mrigashira with curiosity, gentleness, and a searching nature — people with a strong Mrigashira influence are traditionally described as inquisitive, soft-spoken, and drawn to exploration, whether physical travel or intellectual inquiry.
Per the traditional naming-syllable table this app uses for the Baby Names feature, a child born under Mrigashira's four Padas is traditionally named starting with "Ve", "Vo", "Ka", or "Ki" respectively.
