Characteristics of a Mṛgaśira born
Mṛgaśira is also called 'the searching star'. Its symbol is an antelope's head. People born under this nakṣatra's auspice have the face of a deer and a strong body.
Mṛgaśira has a pure temperament and the seeking for spiritual liberation is one of its primary goals. It is an excellent influence for research in religious and philosophical truths, and it has the power 'to confer fulfillment'.
If you are Mṛgaśira born, you will often feel you are looking for something, without really knowing what. You have the quality of a seeker. You are sincere and expect others to be sincere as well. You have a good grasping power and are endowed with a creative, gentle, peaceful and perceptive nature.
But you may lack firm or fixed views and have to learn to confront others in order to stay independent in your life. You are capable, but too shy sometimes to bring your skills forward. You may also be overly attached to strong earthly needs and laziness, which will stick you in inertia and stagnation.
You will do well in a career requiring a research-oriented mind, teaching, writing, and acting. You could be an astrologer, poet, or gemologist.
