Sun in Mrigashira ~ Chase the big prize

Sun, the planet of light and Self, is in Mrigashira from June 8th until 22nd 2025, the nakshatra spanning the signs of Taurus and Gemini.

Mrigashira’s name means ‘to hunt’ and its symbol is the Deer or Stag, which is depicted in myth being pursued across the skies by Brahma the Creator. The Sun is up for a grand quest and you chase your ambitions having pride wrapped up in achieving success and arriving at a definite place. The chase may prove better than the catch, however, and you no sooner reach one goal than move immediately on to another.

Mrigashira’s soft and malleable nature may also see you as the one being pursued, either by an individual or your own desire or duty. Mrigashira’s Shakti, or special gift, is to ‘Provide Fulfilment’, so there is also ultimate promise in your quest, and natural curiosity keeps you busy. The Sun’s nature is to shed light on hidden truths and information, though you may find it helpful to follow a fixed agenda, especially when traveling. The first half of this transit, up to June 15th, finds the Sun sitting between the sweet planets Mercury and Venus, which gives you a diplomatic touch and potential for making friends and receiving support.

You come across well in the company, and a social or professional proposal at this time promises a good result. After June 15th, the Sun joins with philosophical Jupiter to give you confidence and a sense of adventure, and a goal that may have been out of reach comes within your grasp. Sun with Jupiter is a great signature for questing Mrigashira, and even if your attempts fall short, your ambitions still end up further forward.
