Mrigashira

Mrigashira is the searching nakshatra — the deer's head forever looking, curious, gentle. It represents the restless, inquisitive quality of the mind. Mrigashira natives are charming, adaptable, and endlessly curious. They move through life like a deer through a forest — light-footed, alert, and always exploring. The shadow is an inability to settle: the deer can spend its whole life searching without finding a home.
