Tradition holds that Mrigashira is curious and searching. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: self-confidence, generosity, the ability to lead, and standing by one's word. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
