Personality

Mithuna Lagna is the ascendant of Gemini, the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth. The native is keen-witted and an excellent speaker, capable and efficient, and a lover of the arts and such pursuits. He is especially proficient in reasoning and argument, with a distinctive gift for making difficult subjects easy to grasp. Eager for debate, he tends to come away the winner. Because his nature is changeable, he cannot keep his mind settled on any one task for very long.

Physical Appearance

The native has beautiful dark eyes, curly hair, and a high, prominent nose. The features are sharp, and a look of cheerfulness plays constantly across the face.

Functional Benefics & Malefics

For Mithuna Lagna, the house-lords (bhavesh) fall as follows:

• Surya (the Sun) — lord of the 3rd house
• Chandra (the Moon) — lord of the 2nd house
• Mangal (Mars) — lord of the 6th and the 11th
• Budh (Mercury) — the lagnesh (lord of the ascendant itself) and lord of the 4th
• Guru (Jupiter) — lord of the 7th and the 10th
• Shukra (Venus) — lord of the 5th and the 12th
• Shani (Saturn) — lord of the 8th and the bhagyesh (lord of the 9th, the house of fortune)

Of these, Shukra, Shani, and Budh give especially auspicious results for this lagna. Mangal and Surya are inauspicious, Chandra is a source of affliction, and Guru acts as the marakesh, the death-inflicting lord.

Life & Livelihood

The native receives steady help from his relatives. These natives are devoted to learning, almost to the point of being addicted to it, and they earn their living precisely from the fields of knowledge and education.

Health

Being immoderate and impatient by temperament, the native is liable to fall ill frequently. There is a risk of disorders of the nerves (snayu) and of the lungs. He should therefore avoid over-excitement, and breathing clean air is essential for him. It will serve him best to live with self-restraint, preserving his vital essence (virya-raksha) and keeping to a moderate, controlled diet.
