Jyotiṣa, Vedic Astrology

Do not transmit the knowledge of this Shastra to one that is insignificant, who slanders others, that is not smart, that is wicked and unknown to you. Teach this supreme Vedanga for one that is gentle, friendly, devoted, true and bright. - Parasara

Lagna: Gemini

          Mithuna is the third sign of the zodiac, Gemini Westerners.   Westerners I say Gemini, Mithuna because, although it can be translated as twins is translated as 'copulation' or 'double'. In Greek symbol have two brothers as a symbol of the sign, but in Jyotisha symbol is a couple where the man and the woman holds an apple a lute. Mithuna relates therefore to the expression of both genders, male and female, which relates to the behavior Mithuna passionate in its many variations, and in its perfect expression, Mithuna denotes the harmonious union between the two parts of a being, male and female. Among the gunas, Mithuna although a goal sattva (dual), their nature is rajas (Mercury), which determines the final result tamas. So that's where Rahu is comfortable taking on his exaltation sign of amusement and sexual interest. The tilting Twins to be a sign something nasty and prone to lust, which will be explained when reviewing Venus regarding this Lagna.

          Parasara says Gemini lives in villages, which today can include large cities, where there is great movement and communication. Gemini is exactly how cities, busy, curious, communicative and eager for enjoyment and fun. Mantreswara indicates interest in dancing, for women, a nature smart and able to 'read minds', and the need to stay collected, which is explained by the fact that Mercury govern the lagna and the fourth house of home and gathering. In the Jataka Parijata find the association of Gemini with fun and gambling sites, parks and gardens, plus all the scriptures indicate a bipedal nature the Twins, and therefore intelligent and educated. Among the portions of the day, Gemini has strength overnight, which give parties, gambles and sex drive in big cities, places of great interest to the malicious Rahu.

          Regarding the appearance, Gemini gives height and body aligned, long limbs and generally thin, black hair and brown eyes also tend to be dark or brown, and often vivid, joyous. Mantreswara adds a thick neck, which is proved, sit too long. In general, we can define the profile Gemini as thin, tall and nervous behavior, agitated. Can also manifest shyness, and when they acquire more confidence to get on and play a nature chatty and intelligent.

          Finally, regarding the beneficial and harmful functional points Parasara Sun, Mars and Jupiter as malefics Venus as beneficial as Moon killer (Maraka), however, depend on associations, being malefic Mars especially when this together, constituting the so-called Rudra Yoga, a combination that brings death in Ayur Dasas (Dasas to determine longevity). With respect to Saturn, just Parasara says his association with Guru, as well as for Aries Lagna, will not give raja yoga.

          Starting with malefic Surya governs the third bhava, courage, talents and hobbies, determining a strong identification on the part of Gemini with their talents, traits which manifest very personal and creative addition to a statement and selfish nature.Mars rules two Trishadayas, houses six eleven. This makes Gemini's determined to get what you want, able to fight hard for the achievement of its objectives. The governing harmful with respect to trishadayas determine a nature materially inclined, or at least able to cope with life stuff. The evil nature of Mars is enhanced, so that for the Gemini can suffer with friends who become enemies and vice versa, as indicated in a previous article. Already Jupiter, though regent of two Kendras, predominates evil nature by having Mercury as enemy and govern the seventh which is killer (Maraka) and Baadhaka (incapacitating) for the Lagna. Jupiter has a conflicting influence, bringing difficulties to the native with respect to marriage and career, where their excessive idealism in these matters can become a source of obstruction. The Gemini can design a high ideal in relationships and moral philosophy, which in reality can not get, due to its fickle nature and morally problematic, living there conflicts of moral and philosophical precisely. Moreover, the native will seek in marriage and partnerships professional affinity, or at least relationships that will encourage and professionally regarding their public status.

          With respect to the beneficial points Parasara Venus as the only benefic planet, where although a regent Dushtana (12), it has neutral nature, depending on the associations and the fifth being the Moolatrikona Venus, Mercury friend. This makes the Gemini native tilted the arts, devotion (5) and delivery (12), whereas if afflicted denotes flirtations and fleeting passions (5), and binge, spending, promiscuity and other degrading amusements (12). Venus is who bears the fortune for Geminis and their Dasas can bring the greatest benefits to these natives. As for Saturn, Parasara does not determine its functional nature, but we can assume that although eighth ruler of Saturn has its Moolatrikona in the ninth, which will dominate their beneficial nature. However, Mercury has Saturn as neutral logo Saturn does not favor nor disfavour Gemini, having a colder nature and really neutral. What you see is that Saturn brings an influence of crisis and philosophical quest, religious. The Gemini will be inclined to search (8) philosophical, religious (9), and seek answers due to its crises, which in time will make the native religiously inclined and wise, since not only Saturn will have a religious influence in his life, as Jupiter also, it is said Bhavarta Ratnakara in the regency on the tenth of Jupiter makes the native religion, which is found only in Lagna Gemini and Pisces.

          Mercury, the lord of Lagna, also shares the rulership of the fourth, which makes the native very attached to his studies, his mother and his childhood (fourth house rules the first part of life). The Gemini is always aware of his state of mind and this gives it great psychological understanding, being very practical and smart in these matters, will always be aware of yourself, analyzing, and the environment as well, which shall take great influence on it.

          Finally, we have the moon that although neutral nature, as regent of two, is also a killer that is especially harmful when combined with Mars. By itself, the Moon is unable to kill, as shown in B. Ratnakara. Their influence for Gemini is more of family closeness and support arising out of these, plus a floating material interest. The Gemini is the type who although familiar with their possessions, has a very oscillating nature in relation to these, always changing their interests. Besides, the moon has its exaltation in twelve of expenses and losses, making the Gemini consumerist, as we conclude not only the exaltation of the Moon, as well as the rulership of Venus on the twelfth house.
