What tradition holds

Tradition holds that Mrigashira is curious and searching. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: attention to detail, analytical sense, a knack for organising, and a spirit of service. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
