About this pada

Pada 4 of Mrigashira runs from Mithuna 3°20′ to Mithuna 6°40′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Mithuna; its navamsa is Vrishchika, ruled by Mars.

What tradition holds

Tradition holds that Mrigashira is curious and searching. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: determination, deep insight, being trusted with confidences, and staying the course through hard times. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
