Mithun Rashi
Gemini — the Vedic moon sign, not the Western sun sign.
A dual sign, classically associated with speech, curiosity, and holding more than one thread of thought or conversation at once.
| Ruling planet (rashi swami) | Mercury |
| Element (tattva) | Air |
| Nature | Dwiswabhava (dual) |
| Classical gender | Male (odd) |
| Planetary dignity | no planet is classically exalted or debilitated in this sign |
Every rashi spans exactly 9 nakshatra padas — Mithun covers these three nakshatras:
| Mrigashira | padas 3–4 | 60°00′–66°40′ into the sign |
| Ardra | padas 1–4 | 66°40′–80°00′ into the sign |
| Punarvasu | padas 1–3 | 80°00′–90°00′ into the sign |
Mithun isn't a calendar date range. Your rashi is whichever sign the Moon was
in when you were born — not the Sun, and not the Western tropical dates you may have seen elsewhere
(those use a different starting point and a different planet entirely). The gap between the two systems
is currently around 24°, which is why a Vedic Mithun and a Western Gemini rarely line up. Your own
chart will show your real rashi from your actual birth details.

This page describes the sign in general, classical terms — the same description applies to roughly a twelfth of everyone born. It says nothing about you personally; only a real chart, built from your own birth details, can do that.
