New Delhi, India — 2026-10-25
A moon-sign (janma-rāśi) feed, and it says so. Verdicts follow Phaladeepika's transit table with vedha; timings are computed; the tradition layer is labeled and cited — never blended with the facts. No lucky colours, no percentages: no citable rule exists for them.

Traditional interpretation — Varāhamihira and the later compilations · Bṛhat Saṁhitā, the birth-star qualities chapter, for temperament; nakṣatra deities and lords per the classical Vimśottarī scheme; the fuller janma-nakṣatra phala as transmitted in the later compilations
Mṛgaśira is the deer's head, ruled by Soma, the lord of the nectar-bearing Moon, with Mars as its Vimśottarī lord — a birth here opens the Mars daśā. The transmitted temperament joins the deer's delicacy to the hunter's persistence: Varāhamihira's line speaks of a timorous but capable nature, fond of enjoyment; the tradition reads it as the seeker's star — restless, gentle-eyed, always tracking the scent of something finer just ahead.
Where this portrait grows detailed it is drawing on later compilations rather than the early texts; the classical seat is the spare line and the deity-lord pairing, and this passage says so plainly. The reading also bends to the chart: Mṛgaśira spans Taurus and Gemini, so the Moon's sign, its pada, the aspects upon it and the condition of the opening Mars daśā all matter — the computed facts state which apply.
No latta doṣa falls on this star today.
Tradition, not fact
The tara cycle and the latta rules are TRADITION; the timings and positions are computed. The two are never blended.
Tara cycle: Kalaprakashika ch. XXXIII (the registered muhurta.tarabala three-cycle convention governs the Moon rows); latta: Phaladeepika XXVI.42-47 (study gochara-rashifal-2026-07-30.md). Extending the tara count to non-Moon grahas is MODERN PRACTICE with no classical chapter — those rows say practice: 'modern'.
Boundary times are root-found and residual-verified, never interpolated. Change the convention and these numbers change — which is why it is printed beside them.
