Gemini (Mithun) Lagna

Mithuna is the third ascending Lagna on the horizon. Its motif is \"Twins,\" wherein one is male and the other is female, symbolizing its dual nature. \"Duality\" signifies the capacity to initiate new things and also an inclination to reflect deeply on a project or task that's already begun. This natural intelligence to adjust to a new beginning or the one that has already sailed through the middle makes this Lagna flexible and yielding.

Gemini natives are known for their adaptability and intellectual curiosity. They possess a unique ability to see multiple perspectives and communicate effectively between different viewpoints.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, indicating an intellectual and inquisitive path through life.

Gemini is an expert at experimenting with this awesome sextate coordination in myriad areas, giving rise to the varied tastes and interests that its natives have. The male is said to be holding the gadaa, a Hindu god's weapon and the female is holding the veena, a stringed instrument of Narad, Lord Shiva, and goddess Saraswati. Gadaa is a weapon of war, initiation, and strength, and Veena, with its delicate strings, reveals the softer and more adjustable nature of human existence. The fused energies of both of these instruments lead to the advancement in the life of an individual revealed by the rising head of Mithuna. Gemini rules the arms, hands, and shoulders (both two in number) of the Kalapurusha. The sound coordination between all three (actually six) increases the bounciness and pliancy of this Lagna.

Gemini has two legs, indicating an average ability to move forward and persevere in life, as well as a more adaptable nature than quadrupeds, as two-legged creatures move laterally with greater ease.

Gemini dwells in the west and is bipedal by nature. The excellent coordination in the upper body, along with two supple limbs, enables Gemini to make swift movements without resistance. But being biped requires a delicate balance between the two limbs, failing which would result in a lack of perseverance and stability. Initiation and the perfection of the task both aim at fulfilling a deep desire. Mithuna, when given to action orientation, will supremely imply its coordination, suppleness, and adaptability to meet a lingering aspiration, an impulse that makes it a Rajasic Lagna.

Mithuna is a male Lagna and rules the West. Positively charged, this Rashi comes to life during the night. Gemini looks for stimulation and gets highly charged in the company of people who provide mental rejuvenation and activation. If this stimulation works for them in the best of ways, then it also makes them jittery and restless.

The Mithuna Lagna's ability to bring creativity to this medium of expression often astounds those who see and hear it. The power of speech is chiefly mental, and the talkativeness of this Rashi that is really famous gets its activation from the air, the tattva of constant movement.

Air or Gas rules the Lagna of Mithuna, and Vata is its predominant dosha. Mercury is its ruling planet and is chiefly responsible for the brilliant \"communication skills\" that people born under this Lagna have.

Gemini rules Vishuddha or the throat chakra. Along with the capacity to learn words and form sentences, Vishuddha rules over the thyroid gland, located in the neck. This gland brings about the overall growth, metabolism, and development of the human body. Language is the strongest medium of self-expression.

Mithuna encloses the three nakshatras of Mrigasira, Adra or Arudra, and Punarvasu. Its ruling deities are the Moon, Rudra, the Destroyer, and Aditi, the Mother of the Gods.

Mrigsira, with its \"searching star,\" induces Gemini on an exploratory quest. Rudra, the destroyer, transforms its native into something soft and tender, charged with emotion and guided strength. Punarvasu, with his \"star of renewal,\" makes a Gemini Native filled with renewed energy and intelligence. People born under this Lagna are constantly motivated to look within and tap their energy reservoir, implying a constant refurbishment of the invested energy.

Gemini-borns are tall and slim. Their lean build makes them attractive, with long and supple limbs that allow them free and graceful movement. With dark eyes and curly hair, they have a humorous streak to their personalities.

Their nose is prominent, and their shoulders and collarbones are well-built. They are pleasant to look at, and every bit of them appears learned and intelligent. They are charming characters who are witty and versatile.
