So, let’s cover this article under the following points –

Ascendant Nakshatra – There is something called the Ascendant Nakshatra. It is based on the degree of Ascendant (please find introduction of all the Nakshatras here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/intronaksh)

If Ascendant shows the life path then Ascendant Nakshatra will show the pattern of life. It shows the activities we follow throughout life as pattern.

Effect of Mrigshira Nakshatra as Ascendant Nakshatra – Mrigashira Nakshatra is related with Search or Research. It is Nakshatra of chasing your desires, either base desires or spiritual. It is a nakshatra of disguise or acting. It is also the nakshatra of spying, stalking or sexual abuse. They are also considered as highly sexual people.

This Nakshatra can also be connected with Animals in general, or Deer in specific. This nakshatra can also be connected with sports, especially sprinting.

Ascendant Nakshatra Lord’s Position – Now, as ascendant shows our life path and ascendant lord’s position in chart shows the direction of life path; likewise, ascendant nakshatra shows our life pattern and position of ascendant nakshatra lord in chart shows that in which area of life, the life pattern will be exhibited.
Like, we have discussed all above traits and characteristics of Mrigashira Nakshatra which (any of them) can become Life Pattern for someone if it is person’s ascendant nakshatra. Now, in whichever House/Sign Mrigashira lord Mars is placed in a Taurus/Gemini Ascendant's chart, person may get Mars’ results there as per dignity of Mars. Additionally, person’s life pattern involving aforementioned activities can be exhibited from the house/sign wherever Mars is placed in chart; yet again as per the dignity of Mars.

Here, going through Mars’ position in each house/sign can be repetitive or monotonous. So, for understanding the end result, we can rely on the Concept of Who, How, What & Where - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/whww.

“Where” is the House where event is happening.

“What” is the Sign which is indicating towards event.

“Who” is the Planet who is bringing the event; and

“How” is the quality of event which depends on nature and dignity of planet.

For example, in this matter, Mars in 2nd house/Gemini for a Taurus ascendant chart would show that native can be a dominant and controlling figure in his family and relationship matters. Here, the purpose of involving in any or all above activities can be to bring wealth and security to the family. The person may utilize the above traits for the purpose of generating wealth and looking after his family. As Mars is in enemy sign, person may not feel satisfied with the results of his actions. It can also show a person who is unable to save his money.

Whereas, Mars in 6th house/Scorpio for Gemini ascendant chart. Now, the person can be inclined towards works like Law, Medical and Sports. It can very well show an activist. Here, person can involve himself in above mentioned traits of Mrigshira in his daily work life or professions like Law or Health Care etc. Here, as Mars is in own sign, person will have courage and will power to go through the instabilities of Scorpio in professional life and may feel that he has got expected results.

Final example, Mars in 5th house/Virgo (for Taurus ascendant chart) would show that person’s life pattern can be about looking after creative matters, education or sports related activities (by any of the above activities). Person may like to get education related with above activities and then share their knowledge with others. But as Mars is in enemy sign again, native may again feel frustrated by the results.

Needless to say that natural results of Mars, as a planet of will power, courage, action/efforts and dominance/control etc. will still be exhibited in the house where it is sitting; as per its dignity.

Like this, we can understand about how and where the ascendant nakshatra lord is exhibiting the results of life pattern. In further articles of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern, I will cover other house/sign positions which would help us in learning interpretation of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern in a more holistic way.

Dignity – As always, Dignity of Planet has the highest say. If Mars is in exaltation (Capricorn), Own Sign (Aries or Scorpio), Neutral Sign (Taurus or Libra) and Friendly Signs (Leo, Sagittarius and Pisces) then there is a potential that person can get results without much difficulties or obstacles. When Mars is in Enemy Sign (Gemini and Virgo), Saturnine Sign (Aquarius) and Debilitated Sign (Cancer) then things can be difficult to achieve and extra hard work is needed.
Conclusion – As I understand, this is how we can understand as to how ascendant nakshatra can setup the life pattern for people with Mrigshira Nakshatra as the Ascendant Nakshatra.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
