Comments :
- Here we can again try to understand the rationale behind the above interpretation. The first drekkana of Gemini is owned by Mercury so we find the mercurian influence there. The second drekkana is owned by Venus so here we find benefic venusion shade in the interpretations. Similarly in the third drekkana which is owned by Saturn, we find the malefic saturnine influence dominating the Mercurian qualities e.g. ‘many enemies, rough and dry hands etc.
- A Sanskrit term “Strividweshino” has been used in the third drekkana of Gemini. It has two meanings; one is for the one who envies his wife. The other meaning is for the one who keeps away from women. Since in the very beginning it has been explained that all the interpretations of divisional charts are common for both the sexes, the terms wife/husband have been used without any prejudice.
