It extends from 26°40′ Mesha to 10° Vrishabha. Ruled by the fire god Agni, this mansion is symbolized by a sharp blade or a flame. People with the Moon here speak plainly, do not hesitate to cut away flaws and set high standards. Purification, cooking, surgery and critical work are typical fields. A sharp tongue and harsh judgment are traits to soften in relationships. It falls into the “rakshasa” (powerful, fiery-natured) group and is linked with work that involves cutting, burning and sorting out. Its ruling planet, the Sun, also lends this mansion light and prestige.
