Business was not all that good and eventhough it was running, the profit was declining but the expenses were increasing esp. salaries and running cost. Even few had a tough time with respect to retaining of employees. Eventhough, the inflow was not good, the outflow of money was unstoppable. Even for ordinary disease we might have spend more than required. In general, you might have forgotten the meaning of happiness and comfort. It was one of the worst period for people of Mithunam as the bad things were weighed more than good things during the last 1 year.

Nothing much to add for Mithunam as it is an excellant year. Just enjoy without much worry. (Guru Gayathri Mantra)

. Ardra The Head

Ardra (6.40-20.00 Gemini) is the seed of the Rahus energy and contains a single bright star in the Orion constellation. It has a visual magnitude of 0.57 and appears as a red giant, one of the brightest stars in the night sky. In modern astronomy, Orion is known as Betelguese which exerts a strong influence on planets.

Ardra is ruled by Rudra, the fierce incarnation of Lord Shiva, who emblematizes thunder. This nakshatra is translated as green, moist or fresh. Moisture is the aspect that endows the earth with life.

Behavioral Characteristics

Ardra is said to stand for the behavior of a child, and hence the Ardra natives experience extremes of happiness and sorrow, or the in between stage in a matter of minutes. This nakshatra makes the natives undergo transformation, producing knowledge or confusion in its wake. They try to relate to maya on an intellectual level. It is characterized by the birth of the intellect which harmonizes the wanderings of the previous nakshatra, Mrigashira. Ardra rather likes to analyze the cause behind the function.

Ardra natives have a probing aspect to their personality which is voiced quite prominently even in kids. In the cosmic nature of things, Ardra represents yatna shakti, the power to make efforts by seeking for the desired goal. This energy is

often answered with accomplishment. In fact, Ardra is the root word for ardent and arduous. It is the nakshatra where impressions and sensitivity find place to make the mind active as well as reactive. It is also something that makes these natives helpful and empathetic.

This nakshatra struggles to balance the mental with the emotional. Ardra natives have a large face, curly hair and sullen expression. Their instant memory allows them to respond easily to facts and figures. Their lives are characterized by changes and U-turns. Unrelenting observation makes Ardra natives impolite and critical, which can make them sarcastic as well. Generally, softer people are easily scared.

The elusive facets of Rahu make Ardra a confusing nakshatra which whiles away in fruitless pursuits. However, these dont evolve their spirituality, which is required for them. Ardra natives have a chance to better their lives, although this is not easy to achieve in todays world.

Quarters or Padas

Sagittarius Navamsa (6.4010.00 Gemini): This quarter is ruled by Jupiter. It is characterized by exploration, materialism, pleasantness

Capricorn Navamsa (10.00-13.20 Gemini): This quarter is ruled by Saturn. It is characterized by materialism, frustration, trouble

Aquarius Navamsa (13.20-16.40 Gemini): This quarter is ruled by Saturn. It is characterized by science, research, inspiration, mental activity

Pisces Navamsa (16.40-20.00 Gemini): This quarter is ruled by Jupiter. It is characterized by sensitivity, compassion, peacefulness

Gana: Ardra is a manushya/human nakshatra whose relation with mercury connects the higher and lower worlds, relating to struggle and illusion.

Favorable Activities

Demolition, destruction, discarding objects and habits, confrontations, research, creativity, propitiating fierce deities

Unfavorable Activities

Beginnings, travel, marriage, giving/receiving honors, religion

Measures for Remedy

Ardra natives should worship Lord Shiva in his fierce form of Rudra and chant the root mantra Om Aeem 108 times during the lunar transition of this nakshatra to alleviate afflictions. Wearing red, metallic, green, silver, black and dark grey colors is also recommended. All important actions should correspond to the course of this constellation for best results.

Your Ruling Planet Your Sign Born in Sign CHARACTERISTIC

You are an airy sign you live mostly in the mind. You will be carefree, joyous and reluctant. Your mind will be strong and positive and strong. You are often versatile. Restless and inclined to changes and make improvements whenever there is necessity. You also appreciate traveling in search of adventure and amusement. Your enjoyment of the use of words enhances your ability to converse. You are quick, perceptive, clever, playful and imaginative, and you express yourself to feel alive. You feel fresh when you can move around mentally and physically unrestricted. Your ability to bluff your way out of tight corners is phenomenal, and you will always be on the go. You will be doing more than one thing at a time. This dual phenomenon is an important part of your nature. You need plenty of variety and change. You can very easily become bored, and your answer to drop whatever is boring to you is quite certain and to take, the next job in hand is one of your charactericts. You should be careful not to overstrain your sensitive nervous system, which can break down under pressure. You enjoy mental recreation, but you also appreciate traveling in search of adventure and amusement. If you're not interested in something, you can be indifferent to your liking and friendship. You love to be in company and attempt a whole variety of things simultaneously. Appearance

Describing the Gemini is as mercurial is right on the money, since Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury. Moving, restless, seeking, learning -- Gemini is constant motion, a torrent of wind which is in keeping with this sign's element of Air. The Twins are highly intellectual and won't hesitate to play mind games with a lover, mere child's play to them. They are also great communicators, so get ready to hear everything from pithy remarks to impassioned pleas. Inventive, quick-witted and fun, the Twins will jump around from one lover to the next until they find one which is almost as smart as they are and able to keep up in this high-spirited race. The reward for those who can lasso a Gemini is a free-spirited lover who shines at parties but is also a devil in the bedroom. Personality A fine bone structure and movements that are light often set you apart from others and make you good dancers as well. Your facial expressions are usually baby like in their transparency. Quick to smile, with ears that are a bit larger than normal, your physique tends to remain slim even when your food intake begins to cross the limits .The Gemini is always right and never changes his mind until the next time the argument comes around, when he will take a totally different stand, and deny ever having given vent to his earlier opinions. This is infuriating for his opponents in argument, especially as he has a considerable talent for dialogue - and a tendency to know a very little about a very great number of things, and to master this knowledge skillfully as to seem well informed. His ability to bluff his way out of tight corners is phenomenal. There then, are his worst faults inconsistency and superficiality. Little wonder, perhaps, that the world's most popular journalists in newspaper, radio, and television are Geminis. For again, they have an insistent urge to communicate. Profession and Career You would make good writers, radio and TV producers or anchor people, lecturers, linguists, teachers, travel agents, sales people.

Business and Finances Like air, you feel fresh when you can move around mentally and physically unrestricted. But when traveling, you're likely to take along beepers, mobile phones, laptop computers, portable radios and televisions, and remote controls. You like being busy, juggling two or more things at once. Boredom, censure or repression could make you impatient, restless, anxious, snappish, sarcastic, gossipy, cynical or nervously exhausted You Match with Leo Gemini, Libra and Aquarius

Romance and Marriage A love affair with a Gemini requires great stamina, so start doing those push-ups now! The Twins are both fun and funny and love to laugh, play and romp. They are possessed of a very active mind, which can sometimes lead to a short attention span. The best way to keep the Twins around, and aroused, is through mental stimulation. A razor-sharp and imaginative lover is a godsend to the terrific Twins. This sign also values adventure and travel, so a certain footloose and fancy free-ness will help this romance bloom. The duality of the Twins allows them to see both sides of an issue, so in times of stress, they are much likelier to be a lover than a fighter. They will also feel especially connected to those who can help them feel, since they spend so much of their time thinking. Its true that your attentions tend to stray even after marriage but its also true that responsibilities gradually change your attitude and force you into being steady wives and husbands. And yet, you love your home and family and want the best for them. Resolving contradictions where you want to remain free and yet have a good family life are essential for you. YOUR WEAKNESS Someone who can roll with the punches and keep smiling in the face of a multi-faceted onslaught is priceless to the hyperactive Twins. It's an added plus if that person is smart, fun, a good friend and a great sport. Gemini's need

someone who can be attentive to them and who will naturally enjoy their sparkle and wit. They also prefer a strong partner who is not necessarily as smart as they are but who can pick them up, emotionally, when necessary. If the Twins can make a marvelous mental match, life will be a dream. The Gemini lover is easygoing and caring, yet daring and a ball of fire at the right moments. Mental fireworks are high on their agenda, their own as well as those they can make with another. Only those with plenty of punch need apply for this celestial light show! The Gemini is always right and never changes his mind - until the next time the argument comes around, when he will take a totally different stand, and deny ever having given vent to his earlier opinions. This is infuriating for his opponents in argument, especially as he has a considerable talent for dialogue - and a tendency to know a very little about a very great number of things, and to master this knowledge skillfully as to seem well informed. His ability to bluff his way out of tight corners is phenomenal. There, then, are his worst faults inconsistency and superficiality. Little Wonder, perhaps, that the world's most popular journalists in newspaper, radio, and television are Geminis. For again, they have an insistent urge to communicate. Health and Disease You suffer from allergies, asthma and frequent colds and flu. The skin, hair, veins as well as throat, kidneys and lumbar region of Gemini's get easily effected.
