• Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra

"Soma desired. "May I win the lordship of the plants."

One who makes the appropriate offering to Soma, to Mrigashira,

• wins the lordship of the plants,

• wins the lordship of his peers.

Those born under Mrigashira want to provide The Soma, delight or enjoyment to their peers.

• They can be exhilarating and entertaining leaders,

• shining on others like the Moon.

For this reason they usually do best with a retinue of friends."

"Unless other testimonies in the chart predominate to modify the effect of Mraga rising,

• these people may be very unpleasant characters.

They are inclined to be misanthropic in their attitude toward life and people.

• They seem always to see the worst side of people and of conditions.

They are suspicious of other peoples' motives

• and even vicious at times.

Unless checked, these thoughts will lead to vicious action

• and they can be quite dangerous to others whom they dislike.

Possibly this attitude is caused and aggravated by some permanent organic disability

• which is usually the lot of those who are born with Mraga rising."
