What a Mrigashira Moon-day is like
Mrigashira is a deva nakshatra — in panchang terms an auspicious, light day, classically favoured for beginnings, travel, ceremonies, and anything you want to start on a harmonious note. Its temperament runs to seeking, curiosity, gentleness, under the rulership of Mars.
