 GEMINI
ASCENDANT/ MITHUNA
This is an air sign ruled by Mercury,
the planet governing the nervous system.
Gemini's are persuasive
and communicative in their approach. They
have less setbacks and hurdles
in their lives. Their problems are usually short-lived.
This is due to the fact that Gemini
people have less malefic influences to deal with.
Since there are no planets that have their
main house or mooltrikona
sign in the sixth,
eighth or twelfth
house, Gemini's have no functional malefics
except those of Rahu and Ketu.
Gemini people can have a sense of hammer
due to Mercury's influence, diplomacy
and tactfulness. The weak position
of Mercury in a chart will cause anxiety,
difficulties in home life, and educational
problems.
Gemini people are often restless, nervous and
agitated. They possess a sharp quick mind
and can exhaust themselves due to excessive activity.
They may be indecisive and never
bring anything to fruition because of the duality
or changeability the sign possesses. Gemini people
may be writers, journalists, poets, secretaries
or computer programmers. They are good with information
and may be scientists. They have good
intellects.
A strong, well placed
and unafflicted Mercury will give the person
happiness since the mooltrikona
of Mercury is Virgo, sits in the fourth
house. The person will have a good communicative
connection with the mother and will have a comfortable
home. If Mercury is weak, badly
placed or afflicted, then those
significations which stem from the fourth
house will be disturbed such as
obstructions in education, difficulties to the parents
and nervous disorder, causing instability
and unhappiness. If the person has a weak
Mercury and the ascendant
Gemini is malefically aspected,
then the person will suffer on the mental
level and be bothered by diseases or ailments
of the body that the sign Gemini is connected
with.
A strong and well-placed Moon gives good status to the
person, good reputation, a good family life and assets.
This is because Cancer, the sign ruled by the
Moon, is the
mooltrikona sign and is placed in the second house.
A weak
Moon causes marital problems and brings about difficulties
with assets, wealth and mental peace.
A strong and well-placed Sun makes the person a leader,
full of initiatives and courage. The person can be a speaker,
an author or in charge of people in the communications field.
There will be a good connection with younger brothers and
sisters. This is due to the fact that Leo is ruled by the
Sun and is the mooltrikona sign of the Sun sitting in the
third house. If the Sun is weak, then the person will suffer
from lack of courage, vitality and initiative. There will
be trouble with younger brothers and sisters and the person
will have a lack of communication skills.
Since the mooltrikona sign of Venus, Libra, falls in the
fifth house of the Gemini ascendant ruling
children, intelligence
and emotions, this can bring to the Gemini ascendant charm,
warm emotions and intelligence. A weak Venus in this chart
will create difficulties with children or be responsible
for the lack of children. It may result in investment losses
and lack some enthusiasm.
Jupiter in the chart of the Gemini ascendant
has its main
house or mooltrikona house sitting in the seventh house
in the sign of Sagittarius, the house of relationships and
partnerships. A strong and well-placed Jupiter goes a long
way for the individual in success of marriage and general
success in achievements and ambition. A favourable Moon
helps the individual as well on account of its rulership
of the second house that signifies spouse and family. A
weak Jupiter will bring about lack of marital happiness
and trouble with progeny as Jupiter signifies children.
The person will be selfish and have a lack of success.
Saturn's mooltrikona sign Aquarius falls in the
ninth
house, the house of the father and good fortune. Since Saturn
is slow moving and restrictive, this influence on the ninth
house may bring a lack of fortune to the parents. A strong
Saturn will bring good fortune and teaching ability.
Mars has its mooltrikona
sign Aries in the eleventh house for the
Gemini ascendant which means if the Mars is strong
in the chart, then there will be great gains and a good
connection with older siblings and friends. If Mars is weak
then lack of income will be apparent, as well as weak health
and troubles to older siblings and disputes with friends.
Since Gemini's have only Rahu
and Ketu as the malefics
in their chart; Gemini people have the advantage of having
less obstructions and long term problems. This naturally
does not help much if the planets in the Gemini chart are
weak and afflicted by Ketu and Rahu but it does potentially
give Gemini people more freedom in their lives. Their problems
are short term and therefore they have the capability of
bouncing back quickly from difficulties, as those problems
are not overwhelming.
