Children and students, intelligence (buddhi) and discernment, purva-punya — merit carried forward from past deeds — mantra and devotional practice, creativity, romance, speculation and play. A trikona, one of the chart's fortune-triangle houses: benefics here bless the mind and its offspring in every sense.
