It covers 6°40′ to 20° of Mithuna. Ruled by the storm god Rudra, this mansion is symbolized by a teardrop or a diamond; it represents the cleansing that follows a storm. People with the Moon here are emotionally intense and show strong mental capacity in moments of crisis. Research, technology and transformative work suit them. Mental strain, irritability and experiences of loss are the tests of this mansion. It belongs to the “manushya” group and is counted among the sharp (tikshna) mansions; this quality brings, along with destructive tests, a strong potential for transformation.
