Pada 1 – Leo Navamsha (23°20' – 26°40' in Taurus)
This pada is ruled by the Sun. These are artistic people, often learning various kinds of arts, different techniques of working with hands, constantly in creative search, always changing their approach to work-related matters. This pada belongs to the determined and stable side of Mrigashira, but there is an opportunity to express experience through artistic and creative endeavors.
Pada 2 – Virgo Navamsha (26°40' – 30° in Taurus)
This pada is ruled by Mercury. Such people engage in intellectual fields of activity, becoming linguists, scientists, researchers, historians, and archaeologists. This pada represents the calculated, discerning, satirical, and humorous side of Mrigashira. These people are also characterized by deep insight and high intellectual capabilities.
Pada 3 – Libra Navamsha (0°0' – 3°20' in Gemini)
This pada is ruled by Venus. Such individuals find fulfillment in communication. Relationships with people, acquiring and sharing information are very important to them. These are journalists, writers, editors, authors. This is the first pada of Mrigashira located in Gemini, so these individuals are very talkative and tend to explore the mental aspect of relationships. This pada is more airy compared to the previous one, hence it cannot bring high material results.
Pada 4 – Scorpio Navamsha (3°20' – 6°40' in Gemini)
The ruling planet of this pada is Mars, which brings nervousness, drama, possessiveness, anger, and a desire to reach the point, identifying the negative aspect of every item. This pada is not as superficial as the Libra pada within this Nakshatra but tends to over-intellectualize questions without getting to their core. Most of the negative qualities of Mrigashira are manifested in this pada.
Janma Nakshatra Ardra
This is the sixth nakshatra, representing a drop or a human head, with the animal symbol of a dog. It spans between 6°40' to 20°0' in Gemini. The ruling planet is Rahu, and the deity is Rudra.
These individuals recover quickly and can easily create something from nothing. However, they may desire control, money, and material things intensely; they are often calculating and cold in their ambitions for success.
According to Indian astrology, those born under the Ardra star group tend to be "tough on the outside and soft on the inside." Numerous obstacles and personal sacrifices they are forced to make may render them aggressive.
There is something about these individuals that makes them stand out among others. This is not necessarily beauty but rather a charm that attracts others to them. They possess a strong, dominant personality, typically represented by a person with a tough appearance.
These people have a strong intuition. Good planetary placements can minimize negative traits in their character and provide an opportunity for success.
They have excellent potential to earn, can easily adapt, and express themselves in various professions. Typically, they have more than one career in life and perform any job well, though they often do not receive the admiration they deserve.
They may succeed in scientific careers, communication, advertising, transportation, as well as import and export.
They spend most of their time on work rather than family, so their marriage often does not bring them joy. Their constant absence from home complicates communication with children, and they have little influence on their children's upbringing.
Their dual temperament may lead them to chronic depression, growths, drugs, and ultimately, premature death.
They may suffer from lung and heart diseases, dental problems, hearing issues, and paralysis. However, these issues are self-healable through emotional control, gratitude, and understanding of self-worth.
The destructive planetary degrees in Ardra are: Saturn – 7° in Gemini, Venus – 11° in Gemini, Sun, Jupiter, and Rahu – 12° in Gemini, Mercury – 13° in Gemini. Times when Mercury is poorly placed in the birth chart are neutralized if it is joined with the Moon. Strong Mars effects or conjunction with it also eases negative expression. One should be cautious not to start anything new when the aforementioned planets transit their dangerous degrees.
