Shridhara Shree Karashreeya Shreeman Lopatraya Shrayaha
These are the four lines from Vishnu Sahasranama which says,
He who carries Goddess Lakshmi on his chest, He who gives all wealth to His devotees,
He who is the personification of Perennial happiness, He who is a gentleman.
Why did I pick these four lines? Because we are talking about Murikshira, Nakshatra, Murikshir Shah.
The head of a deer. These are the gentle, gentle Nakshatra, as we shall say.
Now we come to the fifth Nakshatra in the Nakshatra series.
If you have been observant, you will find the progression of series with Aries in Ashwini.
We started with the initiator, then we went to Bharani who is the control,
who has a life lesson of control and restraint.
Then we went on to Krithika who has fiery transformation.
And now Rohini which was all grounded and materialistic.
And fifth one is Murikshira. Now we are searching for something.
Murikshira is represented by the head of a deer.
Think of the deer in the forest when you are talking about Murikshira.
The deer is always constantly searching for something in the forest.
That is the symbology of this constellation.
So it falls between 23 degrees 20 minutes of Taurus and goes up till 6 degrees 40 minutes of Gemini.
So this splits into two zodiac signs.
The first two padas, Dharma and Artha-pada are in Taurus while Kama and Moksha-pada are in Gemini.
Exactly half.
And the Navamsha of this goes in the first two padas from Taurus to Leo and Taurus to Virgo.
And in the next two padas, it goes from Gemini to Libra and Gemini to Scorpio.
So what's the energy of this Nakshatra? What does this provide us with?
The energy of Murikshira is flexible.
They are very flexible people. They can be joyous, gentle and with a lot of charm and grace, especially in Pada 1.
They can be very attractive and magnetic because Taurus goes into Leo in Pada 1.
Desires that go against the norms, especially in Pada 4.
Why? Because Gemini goes into Scorpio in Navamsha, which is in the Moksha-pada.
They could be chasing relationships, third padas, because it's on Kama-pada and it's going from Gemini to Libra, both of which are Kama signs, air signs.
They could be extremely fixated in Pada 2, for example, because it goes from Taurus to Virgo, both of which are earth signs.
Forest and nature is very comforting to them. They could be self-indulgent, especially in Pada 4, going into Scorpio, which is internal in nature.
The theme of this Nakshatra, they are constantly searching for some calling, one or the other, maybe more so in Pada 3.
It could be in relationships, if you're talking about the seventh house, it could be spirituality, if you're talking about the ninth house,
profession, if you're talking about the tenth house, partners, seventh house, knowledge, fifth house, etc.
So you see how this Nakshatra placement and the planets that are deposited there is more important than anything else,
to determine which Pada it is going into and what drives this personality, what drives the life lesson.
So they could be going overboard on the downside, they could become suspicious in nature, cowardly, defensive, hiding, camouflage themselves,
especially in Pada 4, because it goes from Gemini to Scorpio.
They could be creatives in Pada 1, because Taurus goes into Leo, which is the fifth house.
They could become accountants in Pada 2, which is Virgo.
They could become intellectuals in Pada 3, which is Libra.
They could become journalists in Pada 4, which is Scorpio.
So what is a life lesson?
As we can see this Nakshatra is very diverse and it's what they want to do and accomplish,
because they are soft, they are intelligent people, Gana is Dev and the deity is Moon God itself.
This is not Chandra the planet, this is so Mother Moon God.
So they are looking for some essence of life, where they can feel joy.
So the life lesson for this Nakshatra is finding core commitment, which resonates deeply to work with.
Because the deity is always searching for something and there is a deity representation,
constantly seeking and going from one thing to another, won't help these people.
If you have majority of planets and points in Meghishisha, you got to remember this,
especially personal planets, Mercury, Venus, the nodes of the Moon, the Moon etc.
Don't keep drifting from one thing to another, find your core commitment, which resonates deeply
and commit yourself to that, work with that.
So the pie chart shows where we are on the Nakshatra wheel.
The mantra is Vishnu sasranama, because Vishnu will give you that deeper energy of what would make sense to you personally.
As you listen to the sasranamas, why I keep recommending sasranamas is,
it gives you more broader perspective and energies of who you are.
The ages this Nakshatra is active is 4, 8, 17, 25, 34, 46, 50, 65, 73 and 79. So it's a very active Nakshatra.
And it will show up in the houses, whichever one is active at any given age.
Meghishisha.
Thank you.
