Nature and traits
Mithun (Gemini) is a dual air sign ruled by Mercury. People with the Moon in Mithun are often curious, witty, talkative and quick to learn, with many interests and a gift for connecting ideas and people. They enjoy conversation, reading, travel and anything that keeps the mind busy. Emotionally they need variety and a partner who is also a friend they can talk to. Writing, teaching, media, sales, technology and trade often suit them. Their growth lies in depth and focus — choosing a few things and seeing them through — and in giving their own feelings the attention they give to ideas.
In Vedic astrology "rashi" usually means the Moon sign — the sign the Moon occupied at birth, in the sidereal zodiac. It is often different from a Western sun sign.
