Sun in Mrigashira ~ Chase the big prize

Sun, the planet of light and Self, is in Mrigashira from June 7th until 21st 2024, 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, particularly in a romantic sense, and you no sooner reach one goal than move immediately on to another. Mrigashira’s soft and malleable nature may also see you being the one pursued, either by an individual or a desire or duty.

You start a project full of energy and ego, only for your resolution to fade, and another day you are not so up for the challenge – be on guard against these types of changing moods. Mrigashira’s Shakti, or special gift, is to ‘Provide Fulfilment’, however, so there is also ultimate promise in your quest, and natural curiosity keeps you busy.

The Sun sheds light on the nature of your hunt, and you may find it helpful to follow a fixed agenda, especially when you’re travelling, so you can keep to your chosen path. By June 11th, the Sun is joined in Mrigashira by both Mercury and Venus, and there’s a renewed focus on your communication and social life.

You think carefully about the company you keep and may try to bring a friend into a shared plan or creative venture.
