Venus in Mrigashira ~ A full romantic pursuit

Venus, the planet of love and values, is in Mrigashira, the nakshatra spanning the signs of Taurus and Gemini from June 7th to 18th 2024.

Mrigashira’s symbol, the mythical Deer, is depicted being pursued across the skies by Brahma the Creator, and this transit sees you driven by desire and the thrill of the chase. Even in this nakshatra’s earthy Taurus portion, Venus gives your romantic life a restless streak where you pursue goals for their own sake without thinking of your overall direction.

This asterism’s rulership by the Moon, the fastest moving heavenly body, shows your inner life and ever-changing mood, where your relationship features fickle and unpredictable emotions. Mrigashira’s nature, likewise, is soft and timid, but you still sense unexplored possibilities and are reluctant to commit when there’s a bigger promise around the next corner.

You may seek a romantic conquest and simply love to flirt, or else you unconsciously invite others to chase after you. This nakshatra’s Shakti, or special power, to ‘Give Fulfilment’, however, finds ultimate success and satisfaction when you settle down and love the one you are with.

In your work life and creativity too, try to focus on one vision at a time and not dilute your energy with constantly changing ideas. Venus is close to the all-powerful Sun through this whole transit and you may lean over too far to try and please or impress somebody. Stay confident, remember your attractiveness, and don’t be shy of making your own romantic demands.
