It extends from 23°20′ Vrishabha to 6°40′ Mithuna. Ruled by the Moon god Soma, this mansion's symbol is the deer's head, expressing constant searching, curiosity and a restless desire to explore. People with the Moon here are gentle, curious and wandering; they are energetic as long as they are pursuing something. They are inclined toward research, writing, travel and nature. Never fully settling anywhere is its shadow side. It is one of the soft (mridu) mansions and belongs to the “deva” group; it is linked with art, travel and refined pursuits.
