Mithun Rashifal for 5 Sep: Work, Love and Health

Aaj ka Mithun rashifal, read from your Moon sign. Mithun (मिथुन) is the 3rd rashi, 60° to 90° of the sidereal zodiac, ruled by Mercury, and it holds Mrigashira padas 3 and 4, all four padas of Ardra and Punarvasu padas 1 to 3. In English it is called Gemini, but here it means the sign the Moon was in at your birth, not your birthday sign. Every line below names its graha, the house that graha holds from Mithun and the classical verse behind it.

2 of the 9 planets support · 7 need attention

The day's main graha: the Moon (in the attention list).

The Sun in Singh, your 3rd (courage and siblings), until 16 Sep, 5:00 PM: classically a favourable house; classical reading: standing, money and good health, with an edge in competition.

Venus in Tula, your 5th (children, education and intelligence), until 1 Oct, 7:29 PM: classically a favourable house; classical reading: children and happiness.

The Moon in Kark, your 2nd (family, wealth and speech), until Thursday 6 Sep, 6:48 PM: classically not a favourable house, but Kark is its own sign, where the texts say it does not work against you; classical reading: money matters.

Mercury in Kanya, your 4th (mother, home and happiness), until 14 Sep, 6:48 PM: classically a favourable house, but the Sun in your 3rd holds it back (vedha), so its support is held back; classical reading: gains and a growing family.

Jupiter in Tula, your 5th, until 24 Jan 2030, 3:25 PM (EST): classically a favourable house, but Mercury in your 4th holds it back (vedha), and Jupiter is in Tula, whose lord Venus is not its natural friend, so its support is held back; classical reading: children, prosperity and goodwill.

Saturn in Vrishabh, your 12th (expenses, foreign lands and moksha), until 5 Oct, 7:23 AM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: low spirits.

Rahu in Dhanu, your 7th (marriage and partnership), until 4 Feb 2030, 2:38 AM (EST): classically not a favourable house; classical reading: friction.

Ketu in Mithun, your 1st (self and body), until 4 Feb 2030, 2:38 AM (EST): classically not a favourable house; classical reading: health.

The day changes at 7:42 AM, when Venus moves into Tula; both parts are shown.

Work and Money: the Sun supports; the Moon and Saturn need attention.

The Sun in Singh, your 3rd (courage and siblings), until 16 Sep, 5:00 PM: classically favourable for standing and money, with an edge over rivals.

The Moon in Kark, your 2nd (family, wealth and speech), until Thursday 6 Sep, 6:48 PM: classically not a favourable house, but Kark is its own sign, where the texts say it does not work against you; the texts name no separate result of it for love and family.

Rahu in Dhanu, your 7th (marriage and partnership), until 4 Feb 2030, 2:38 AM (EST): classically not favourable for relationships.

Mercury in Kanya, your 4th (mother, home and happiness), until 14 Sep, 6:48 PM: classically favourable for a growing family, but the Sun in your 3rd holds it back (vedha), so its support is held back.

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Mithun: Calculated Dates

Sade Sati is Saturn's passage through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from the Moon sign, about seven and a half years. Dhaiya is Saturn's passage through the 4th or 8th sign from the Moon sign, about two and a half years.

Sade Sati, first phase for Mithun: Saturn is in Vrishabh, your 12th, from 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029. The whole Sade Sati runs from 8 Aug 2029 to 27 Aug 2036, with a pause from 5 Oct 2029 to 16 Apr 2030. Traditionally this passage is a time for steady effort, discipline and looking after health.

  • Sade Sati Phaladeepika 26.22–23 · Brihat Samhita 104.39–45

Saturn is one of nine: the verdict for Saturn in your 12th and the other eight grahas are in the table below.

The next dhaiya (4th house) for Mithun runs from 22 Oct 2038 to 25 Sep 2041, with Saturn stepping out of it from 5 Apr 2039 to 12 Jul 2039 and 27 Jan 2041 to 6 Feb 2041.

Counted from the Moon sign, as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 do. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown. Classically it is a time for steady effort and patience, not a fixed outcome.

Questions

Mithun Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Mithun rashi?

Mercury, the lord of Mithun, is in Kanya on 5 Sep, the 4th house from Mithun, until 14 Sep, 6:48 PM. Mercury rules Mithun in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. Mercury also rules Kanya.

Which name letters (naam akshar) belong to Mithun rashi?

On 5 Sep, the Moon is in Kark; its next stay in Mithun runs from 29 Sep, 2:13 PM to 1 Oct, 11:44 PM: a child born in those hours has Mithun as janma rashi. Mithun's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are Ka, Ki (Mrigashira 3–4); Ku, Gha, Ng, Chha (Ardra 1–4); Ke, Ko, Ha (Punarvasu 1–3). A name starting with one of them gives Mithun as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Mithun rashi?

On 5 Sep, the Moon is in Pushya; its next pass through Mithun begins in Mrigashira pada 3, from 29 Sep, 2:13 PM. Mithun covers 60° to 90° of the sidereal zodiac: Mrigashira padas 3 and 4, all four padas of Ardra and Punarvasu padas 1 to 3, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Mithun, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Mithun rashi people like?

They are described as sharp-minded and witty, with pleasant, clear speech and a love of music and the arts; the texts also give them a prominent nose. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.3, Saravali 23.16 and Hora Sara 29.3 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Mithun and its lord Mercury are all strong in the birth chart, and Hora Sara 29.13 that a graha joining or aspecting the Moon changes it, so your own kundli says more than the rashi alone.

When do Sade Sati and Shani dhaiya start and end for Mithun rashi?

Sade Sati is running for Mithun on 5 Sep, in its first phase: Saturn is in Vrishabh, the 12th house from Mithun. It began on 8 Aug and ends with Saturn's final exit on 27 Aug 2036, with Saturn stepping out of it from 5 Oct to 16 Apr 2030. The next dhaiya (4th house) for Mithun runs from 22 Oct 2038 to 25 Sep 2041, with Saturn stepping out of it from 5 Apr 2039 to 12 Jul 2039 and 27 Jan 2041 to 6 Feb 2041. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown, and is counted from the Moon sign as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 count it. Classically Sade Sati and dhaiya ask for steady effort and patience; neither is a fixed outcome.

When does the time change for Mithun rashi?

Saturn moves into Mesh on 5 Oct, 7:23 AM, the 11th house from Mithun; Jupiter moves into Vrishchik on 24 Jan 2030, 3:25 PM (EST), the 6th house from Mithun; Rahu moves into Vrishchik and Ketu into Vrishabh on 4 Feb 2030, 2:38 AM (EST), the 6th and 12th houses from Mithun (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 10 Jan 2030). Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Mithun, and each change above names the house it brings. The daily reading on this page weighs all nine grahas together, and no rashi has a good or a poor time as a whole.

What is Mithun rashi in English?

On 5 Sep, at 3:51 PM, the Sun is in Virgo 13°32′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Singh 19°15′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Mithun is called Gemini in English, yet a rashi is the Moon's sign at birth in the sidereal zodiac, not the birthday sign, so someone whose birthday makes them Gemini need not have Mithun rashi.
