Mithun Rashifal for 15 Oct: 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.

Ardra (padas 1–4): Vadha Tara until 4:18 PM: in the second round of nine, only one quarter of it is set aside (Muhurta Chintamani 4.13: Vipat its first, Pratyari its last, Vadha its third), so it is not in the favourable grade; in the common panchang table it is not chosen for new work.

Your Supportive Hours in Delhi

None offered for new starts; the reason is inside

The 15 Oct panchang windows fall inside Chandrashtama, considered a time to go gently in Phaladeepika 26.34 and Muhurta Chintamani 4.1, so none is offered for new starts; routine work is fine, and the panchang's windows are listed for reference.

What are supportive hours?

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 for Mithun is paused: Saturn is in Mesh, your 11th, until 17 Apr 2030. The whole Sade Sati ends on 27 Aug 2036.

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

Within this stay, Saturn's effect is classically felt most in the last third of Mesh: from 5 Oct 2029 to 17 Apr 2030.

  • Felt most Phaladeepika 26.25 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.19

Saturn is one of nine: the verdict for Saturn in your 11th and the other eight grahas are in the table below.

The next dhaiya (4th house) for Mithun runs from 22 Oct 2038 to 26 Sep 2041, with Saturn stepping out of it from 5 Apr 2039 to 13 Jul 2039 and 28 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 15 Oct, the 4th house from Mithun, until 23 Oct, 2:21 AM. 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 15 Oct, the Moon is in Makar; its next stay in Mithun runs from 27 Oct, 6:06 AM to 29 Oct, 4:37 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 15 Oct, the Moon is in Uttara Ashadha; its next pass through Mithun begins in Mrigashira pada 3, from 27 Oct, 6:06 AM. 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 for Mithun is paused on 15 Oct: Saturn is in Mesh, the 11th house from Mithun, and returns on 17 Apr 2030. The whole span runs from 8 Aug to Saturn's final exit on 27 Aug 2036. The next dhaiya (4th house) for Mithun runs from 22 Oct 2038 to 26 Sep 2041, with Saturn stepping out of it from 5 Apr 2039 to 13 Jul 2039 and 28 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?

Jupiter moves into Vrishchik on 25 Jan 2030, 1:55 AM, the 6th house from Mithun; Rahu moves into Vrishchik and Ketu into Vrishabh on 4 Feb 2030, 1:08 PM, the 6th and 12th houses from Mithun (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 11 Jan 2030); Saturn moves into Vrishabh on 17 Apr 2030, 9:08 AM, the 12th 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 15 Oct, at 12:00 PM, the Sun is in Libra 22°11′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Kanya 27°55′ 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.

The Moon in the 8th sign from your Moon sign (Phaladeepika 26.34; Muhurta Chintamani 4.1).
Gochar (transit)
The movement of the grahas through the signs, read from your Moon sign (Phaladeepika 26.1).
House (bhava)

Vedha (obstruction)
In Phaladeepika 26.3–8, a favourable transit is considered held back while another graha is in its paired house.
Chandrabala
The Moon's strength as read from your Moon sign: houses 1, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11 are considered good (Muhurta Chintamani 4.1; Phaladeepika 26.2; Brihat Samhita 104.4).

Retrograde (vakri)
Seen from Earth the graha appears to move backwards; shown as a fact only, as the texts differ on its meaning in transit.
Combust (asta)
Sun's glare; support in a favourable house is considered muted (Phaladeepika 26.32). Jupiter and Venus: not seen from India's reference latitude, 23°11′N (Indian Astronomical Ephemeris); Mars, Mercury and Saturn: angular distances (Surya Siddhanta 9.6–9.8).

Rahu and Ketu by their average motion, which many almanacs print; its dates can differ from the true node by days.
Texts differ
The classical texts read this placement differently; we follow most of them and name the text that differs.
