• 0°–13°20′ Sagittarius: Mula, under Ketu, adding a spiritual undertone; its gift is getting to the root, its shadow destructiveness.

• 13°20′–26°40′ Sagittarius: Purva Ashadha, under Venus, which for Gemini rising rules the 5th and 12th, so expenses, foreign lands and retreat enter the reading; for work it points to debate, law, shipping, water, persuasion and the arts.

• 26°40′–30° Sagittarius: Uttara Ashadha, a Sun nakshatra, linking the placement with the 3rd (courage, skills and siblings); in love it is principled and loyal in love, and slow to commit but steady after.

Love and marriage

In the 7th the Moon seeks a caring, responsive partner and emotional companionship; the spouse may be sensitive or changeable, and regular, honest check-ins keep the bond steady.
