If she adopts a public career, she will be successful and honored.
She is fond of beautiful clothes, perfumes, and jewels, and dresses elegantly and in good taste. Her favorite color is green."

Mraga, for males:
"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."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 80.
Chandra in Mrigashira: [Jyotishi author B. V. Raman]
