Mrigashira is the fifth nakshatra, bridging Taurus and Gemini. It carries the seeker's restlessness — a gentle, curious searching for something just out of view. People shaped by it tend to be gentle, soft-spoken and endlessly curious, forever searching for something just out of view; socially warm with wide friendships, and quick to sense trouble before it arrives — a useful instinct that can tip into over-questioning and doubt.
Presided over by Soma, with the deer's head as its symbol — the eternal quest. Its Vimshottari lord is Mangala.
— Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra daśā adhyāya (Vimśottarī lords)
Span 23°20′ Vrishabha – 6°40′ Mithuna; lord Mars. The Venus-sign half is sensual and settled, the Mercury-sign half verbal and roving; Mars as lord keeps both halves on the move.
