Rūha is the mother of the King of Darkness, 'Ur, and the mother of the Seven planets, the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac and the Five planets. She is considered as a kind of "fallen wisdom figure” ressembling Sophia in other Gnostic traditions. She fights and suffers and appears in several realms at the same time. Rūha is the leader of the underworld forces and the “entity incorporation powers of darkness which the lightworld had to conquer.”

Cancer is the sign of The Mother Archetype.

Ruled by the Moon, planet of the Night, of dreams & nightmares, this sign is secretive, intuitive, deeply connected to its emotions and roots.

Cancerians are the natural caregivers of the zodiac and, once they have accepted you in their « nest », that which could take time because Cancers are extremely self-protective, they’re all about nurturing, protecting, providing emotional comfort and depth of intimacy...in one word, they’re mothering.

As a Cardinal sign, Cancer is action oriented, self-motivated, creative, innovative and a bit domineering...but since it’s a Water sign, Cancer is the most subtle of the Cardinal signs in doing so.

So, here is a caveat : Cancerians risk blurring the line between attentive nurturing and controlling behaviour, and they might end up not treating the people around them like human adults, but as vulnerable childs under their sinister Mother-Crab claws...

Mithuna (मिथुन - Gemini) is the third sign of the Vedic zodiac. It's an Air and Mutable sign which symbolizes duality, the process of polarization of spirit and matter which creates intellectual perception.

Ruled by Mercury, planet of curiosity, adaptability, versatility, changeableness and vivacity, this sign is multifaceted, full of nervous energy, a master of distraction, and its mind an eerie maze.

Mithuna lives totally in his mind, and thus is an emotionally disconnected intellectual. Mithuna is also characterized by a complete absence of morality. This sign’s approaches of life is basically materialistic and pessimistic. This restless mind is prone to depression, anxiety, overthinking and mental exhaustion. Mithuna/Gemini is an information gatherer with an insatiable thirst for data and intellectual stimulation...but also for rumors, gossips, anecdotes, word of mouth and dirty secrets. However, he doesn’t do this in order to share informations and knowledge, but to use it for his own benefit. Indeed, Mithuna is a selfish sign.

This sign is a skilled sinister communicator, able to pretend to be your best friend while only seeing you as information gathering ressource. He’ll flirt with your secrets but guard his own. Mithuna is non-emotional, lacking in empathy, so he’s not here to form actual connections.

Mithuna loves to mock, scorn and ridicule others. His dark humor, adept at sarcasm, won’t hesitate to use dirty secrets, people’s worst fears, to set labyrinthine traps, just for the sake of his own sinister entertainment, cutting people’s emotions and leaving them hurted and vulnerable…
