For those with Mithuna Rasi, the Thiruvathirai Nakshatra and Mars Graha have significant influences. In this configuration, as the Rajas quality increases, the desire for greater success in business may also rise. This may lead them to engage in various new ventures. However, since these ventures may only provide momentary pleasure, it can impact long-term financial stability. Due to the influence of Mars Graha, the mental state may also fluctuate at times. This can lead to chances of mental fatigue or attachment. Therefore, when aiming for success in business, one should also consider long-term perspectives and mental peace. Focusing on financial management and avoiding unnecessary expenses is crucial. To maintain mental balance, it is beneficial to engage in spiritual practices such as yoga and meditation. In this way, by balancing the Rajas qualities, one can achieve stability and happiness in life.

In this verse, Lord Krishna explains the signs of the Rajas quality. Rajas is a quality associated with desire and action. When it increases, feelings such as great desire, lack of equanimity, and a wish for quick success arise. Those with this quality may engage in various activities to achieve their goals. However, these actions often provide only momentary pleasure. Furthermore, it can lead to mental fatigue and attachment. Therefore, one should manage the Rajas qualities in a balanced manner.

According to Vedanta, the three primary qualities in humans are Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. The Rajas quality is associated with desire and action. It drives one towards great desire, variability, and quick success. For spiritual advancement, Rajas must be maintained in balance. Rajas often seeks happiness in the external world, but true spiritual joy must come from within. By keeping the Rajas quality balanced, one can attain mental peace. This allows one to uplift not only oneself but also others.

In our lives, the desire for great ambition and quick success manifests in various ways. In work and office settings, if we only feel happiness when we receive a higher salary or promotion, that is an expression of the Rajas quality. It is important to provide time for everyone in the family without losing balance. Adhering to healthy eating habits for longevity and living without stress is essential. As parents, we should encourage honest efforts in children without fostering great desires. Debt and EMI pressures can lead to exhaustion, but this can be managed through financial planning. The habit of comparing ourselves with others on social media can diminish mental peace. Long-term thinking and mental tranquility are key aspects that provide stability and happiness in life. The Rajas qualities can be balanced through yoga and meditation.
