Sanskrit mr̥gáśiras (popularly spelled Margashīrsha/Mrigashira) (Devanagari: मृगशिरा) the 5th nakshatra or lunar mansion as used in Hindu astronomy and astrology is the constellation Orion. Its position is described in the Surya Siddhanta.

The first two charana/pada (quarters) of this nakshatra are part of Vrushabha rashi (Devanagari: वृषभ) or Taurus. The latter half of this star belong to Mithuna rashi (Devanagari: मिथुन) or Gemini (from 23°20’ Taurus to 6°40’ Gemini).

Naming principles

Under the traditional Hindu principle of naming individuals according to their birthstar, the following Sanskrit syllables correspond with this Nakshatra, and would belong at the beginning of a first name:

  • Ve (Devanagari: वे)
  • Vo (Devanagari: वो)
  • Ka (Devanagari: क)
  • Ki (Devanagari: कि)

Mrigasira Nakshatra extends from after 23°20 in Vrishabha Rasi up to 6°40 in Mithuna. Star is governed by mars and the presiding deity is Chandra. Symbol is Antelope or Deer. Rules the following parts of the body : face, chin, cheeks, larynx, palate, throat, vocal chord, arms, shoulders, thymus gland, upper ribs.

The word Mriga represents forests, gardens, a search, a seeking to find, to roam about in forests and a hunter, to seek to blaze the trail, a guide and preceptor. Mrigashirsha is partly in Vrishabha and partly in Mithuna. It conveys the ideas of searching for beautiful faces, visit or request a girl in marriage. People born in this nakshatra have a strong body and moderate complexion.
