Nature of Mrigashira
Mrigashira is the searching star: curious, gentle, intelligent and always looking for something new. Its natives are good communicators and researchers, though restlessness can keep them moving from one thing to the next.
Its ruling planet Mangal signifies energy, courage, siblings and property, and its dasha is the first one for people born with the Moon here.
