Dual air. Mithuna is the sign of exchange — of information, of hands, of two things being true at the same time. A graha here works through contact and articulation rather than force.
Mercury rules it, and Mercury’s adaptability is the sign’s defining quality. Its weakness is the same as its strength: an ability to argue either side can become an inability to settle on one.
- communication
- dexterity
- curiosity
- duality
- hands and lungs
