The gentle seeker, forever following the scent of something finer.

Mrigashira is the deer's head, ruled by Soma, the divine nectar and the Moon's own essence. It wanders, questions, and searches, delicate and curious, drawn onward by beauty it can sense but not yet hold. Its gift is the quest itself, the restless refinement of taste and mind.
