Alright, let me share how I figured out the English term for “mithun rashi” recently. It was something that popped into my head, and I wanted to get a clear answer.
So, the first thing I did, like most folks probably would, was just type “mithun rashi in english” into a search engine. I got a whole mix of results back. Some astrology websites popped up, some forum discussions, lots of different bits and pieces. It wasn’t immediately super clear, just a lot of mentions.
I realized I needed to break it down a bit. I started thinking, what does “rashi” actually stand for? I did a quick search just for that word. Found out pretty fast that “rashi” basically means ‘zodiac sign’ in Hindi, coming from Sanskrit. Okay, that helped. So, the real task wasn’t translating the whole phrase literally word-for-word, but finding the English equivalent for the Mithun sign.
Digging into ‘Mithun’
My next step was focusing on “Mithun”. What is this sign known for? I had a vague memory it was associated with twins. That seemed like a strong clue. So I thought, which Western zodiac sign is represented by twins?
It clicked pretty quickly then. Gemini! That’s the sign symbolized by the twins.
Just to be absolutely sure, I didn’t stop there. I specifically looked for lists that showed the Vedic or Hindi zodiac signs side-by-side with the Western English ones. I found a few charts and comparison pages.
- Checked the first list: Mithun – Gemini. Okay.
- Checked a second source: Mithun – Gemini. Good.
- Checked one more astrology site: Yep, Mithun was consistently paired with Gemini.
So, after going through these steps, starting from a simple search, breaking down the term, focusing on the core name ‘Mithun’, and then confirming with comparison lists, I got my answer sorted.
It turns out Mithun Rashi is simply the term used in Vedic astrology for what we commonly know in English as the Gemini zodiac sign. It was a straightforward process once I understood what ‘rashi’ meant and connected Mithun to its symbol. Just wanted to share how I went about finding that out!
