What are facts about Gemini?

Answer 1

Gemini is an airy sign ruled by Mercury. Mercury is the significator of communication and confidence. Geminians with strong planets have excellent powers of speech and communication. They have an energetic nature and are always looking for change, motion and invention when their Venus is strong. With a strong Sun at birth the person has the ability to progress far in the spiritual field.This sign rules ears, lower neck, shoulders, arms, hands, respiratory and nervous systems, bronchial tubes, shoulder and collar bones, bones of arms and hands. With the Sun is strong and absence of strong afflictions in their charts, they enjoy good health. Otherwise, Geminians have a sickly constitution and they are vulnerable to congestion and respiratory diseases, asthma, imbalances in the nervous system, depression resulting in partial paralysis, stammering, shoulder pain, etc.

Gemini borns have a sharp intellect and they have a conscious mind. They are spontaneous, adaptable, analytical, educated, learned, helpful, with teaching abilities, intense sense of humor, wit and imagination or talkative, nervous, restless, agitated and indecisive. Geminians are persuasive, communicative and show diplomacy and tactfulness in their approach.

There are less hurdles and setbacks in life, as Rahu and Ketu are the only functional malefic planets. The Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars are functional benefic planets for Geminians. Until and unless the Sun is strong and/or forms close relationship with the ascendant, the tenth house, second house or fourth house, their role in life is generally average and insignificant. The weak position of Mercury in the nativity, however, gives lack of persistence, confidence and patience. This is the direct result of the nervous pressure build-up due to weakness and/or affliction to Mercury.

A powerful, unafflicted and properly placed Moon blesses the Geminians with good status, reputation, healthy living and happy family life, while a debilitated Moon causes lack of marital harmony and gives rise to disputes. A strong Sun makes one an orator, leader, an author and a courageous person. Mercury's strength works as an asset. Mercury, whose mooltrikona sign falls in the fourth house, is an anchor sheet of life for the Geminians because the fourth house has dynamic configurations. In infancy, it rules in particular the happiness from mother. In childhood, it rules education. In the grown-up stage of life, it rules assets, marital harmony, vehicles and comforts in life. Strong Mercury, being lord of the fourth house of Geminians, blesses the dynamic configurations of the fourth house while a weak and/or afflicted Mercury, ruins/disturbs the significations of the fourth house in particular. The mooltrikona sign of Venus falls in the fifth house ruling progeny, intelligence and emotions. The strength of Venus in the chart is fully representative of the significations of charm, emotions, intelligence and progenic matters of Geminians. Although the scenario is dependent upon the overall configurations of the chart and operating major periods of planets, the strength of individual planets does signify trends in life to a large extent. The mooltrikona sign of Jupiter falls in the seventh house. Generally, the marital life of Geminians is comparatively more successful if the Moon, Mercury and Jupiter are not afflicted. Saturn's mooltrikona sign is in the ninth house. That explains the reason why the parents of Geminians are generally not very rich and affluent. Mars has its mooltrikona sign in the eleventh house indicating sizeable income, coming out of authoritative posts in case Mars is strong in the nativity. In the case of matters signified by houses containing non-mooltrikona signs of planets, tragic happenings only take place if functional malefic planets, Rahu and Ketu, exert their close influence on the most effective points of the said houses, and the significators of these houses are weak.

Exalted Sun with a strong or well-placed Mars blesses Geminians with enormous courage, younger brothers, government positions, servants, leadership qualities and good communicative power. Exalted Moon takes them to foreign lands where they shine well if other planets are supportive. Exalted Mars blesses them with good financial gains, authority and both elder and younger brothers. Exalted Mercury blesses them with sharp intellect, affluent parents, good assets and business acumen. Exalted Jupiter with a strong Moon blesses them with good status in foreign lands and spouse from a well-placed family. Exalted Venus blesses them with sharp intellect, gains through investments and happiness through progeny, affluent spouse, emotional happiness and creativity. Exalted Saturn with strong Venus blesses them with good fortune, affluent parents and interest in spirituality. Similarly, are to be read the results of the planets when they are in their signs of debilitation causing deterioration in the aspects signified by the weak planets. However, the significations likely to be promoted when the planets are exalted get a setback when the concerned planets are weak.

The close affliction of Ketu to a weak Mars makes the native vulnerable to serious health problems if the Sun, too, is weak. The close conjunction/aspect of Ketu to Mercury makes one vulnerable to paralysis and nervous breakdown. The close affliction of Ketu to the Sun causes sufferings on account of progenic matters, business ventures and marital problems to female natives. The close affliction by Ketu to the Moon robs the native of the peace in relationships and causes setbacks in property matters. The close affliction of Ketu to Jupiter gives setbacks in married life and curtails the longevity of the relationships. The close affliction of Ketu to Venus causes setbacks in married life, renal problems and serious problems to the children. The close affliction of Ketu to Saturn causes setbacks in life and health problems pertaining to joints and blood impurities.
