Aaj ka Mithun Rashifal · Gemini Moon sign · Wednesday 23 September 2026

Mithun Rashifal for 23 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.

Chandrashtama: go gently?

Wednesday 23 September: the Moon is in Makar, the 8th sign from Mithun, until 9:57 PM (since Monday 21 Sep, 11:15 AM). Classically this is Chandrashtama, a time to go gently: keep plans simple and give yourself rest.

Chandrashtama: go gently. By our count for Mithun on 23 Sep, of the 9 grahas: supportive 4, mixed 0, asking for patience 5; the Moon leads the day.

The day changes at 9:57 PM, when the Moon moves into Kumbh; both parts are shown.

Work, Love and Health

Work and Money?

Classically, Jupiter in your 2nd favours money, while Saturn in your 10th asks for care with standing at work: stay steady and let your work speak. Together they read as mixed.

Love and Family?

Classically, Mercury in your 4th favours a growing family, while the Sun in your 4th asks for care with home comforts: keep plans at home simple. Together they read as mixed.

Health?

No graha is in your 1st or 6th on 23 Sep, so the texts point to nothing particular for health.

From 9:57 PM: the Moon in Kumbh, your 9th, in the bright half (Shukla paksha); classically the bright-half Moon is supportive here, but it shares Kumbh with Rahu, so its support is muted.

From 9:57 PM the Moon shares Kumbh with Rahu.

Chandrashtama for Mithun: from Monday 21 Sep, 11:15 AM to 9:57 PM; a time to go gently.

Next Chandrashtama for Mithun: from 18 Oct, 7:33 PM to 21 Oct, 7:01 AM.

  • Kalapurusha limb: Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 4.4 and Saravali 3.5 give the arms; Brihat Jataka 1.4 and Phaladeepika 1.4 give the chest.

A name rashi is the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra's syllable. Each fact is given in at least two classical texts, and where the texts differ both readings are shown. Left out: the element (tattva), which only one of the texts we read gives (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 4); and any colour, number or stone for a rashi, which none of them ties to good fortune.

Questions

Mithun Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Mithun rashi?

Mercury, the lord of Mithun, is in Kanya on 23 Sep, the 4th house from Mithun, until Saturday 26 Sep, 12:39 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 23 Sep, the Moon is in Makar; its next stay in Mithun runs from 2 Oct, 3:41 PM to 4 Oct, 6:32 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 23 Sep, the Moon is in Dhanishta; its next pass through Mithun begins in Mrigashira pada 3, from 2 Oct, 3:41 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?

Neither Sade Sati nor dhaiya is running for Mithun on 23 Sep: Saturn is in Meen, the 10th house from Mithun. The next Sade Sati for Mithun begins on 8 Aug 2029 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 27 Aug 2036, with Saturn stepping out of it from 5 Oct 2029 to 17 Apr 2030. 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?

Jupiter moves into Singh on 31 Oct, 12:03 PM, the 3rd house from Mithun; Rahu moves into Makar and Ketu into Kark on 25 Nov, 5:46 PM, the 8th and 2nd houses from Mithun (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 5 Dec); Saturn moves into Mesh on 3 Jun 2027, 5:28 AM, the 11th house from Mithun. 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 23 Sep, at 10:59 AM, the Sun is in Libra 0°13′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Kanya 5°59′ 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.
