Nakshatras in Mithuna

Questions people ask

Who is the lord of Mithuna rashi?

Mithuna is ruled by Mercury. Mercury also rules Kanya, so these signs get full Graha Maitri points with Mithuna.

Which nakshatras are in Mithuna?

Mrigashira, Ardra, Punarvasu. Signs and nakshatras don’t line up exactly, so some nakshatras are split between two signs.

Which Moon signs give Bhakoot dosha with Mithuna?

Bhakoot dosha happens when the Moon signs are 2/12, 5/9 or 6/8 apart. For Mithuna that is Karka, Vrishabha, Tula, Kumbha, Vrishchika, Makara. It is traditionally cancelled when the sign lords are the same or friends.
