The ruling planet
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of buddhi · language, analysis, exchange. The condition of the ruling planet in a real chart is just as important as the sign itself. A sign is a climate; a planet is a traveller moving through it.

The 27 nakshatras do not line up neatly with the 12 signs. Each sign contains two or three nakshatra segments, which is why two people with the same Moon sign can feel quite different.
