Mercury, planet of intellect and commerce, is in Mula within the sign of Sagittarius from December 29th, 2025, to January 6th, 2026.

This transit is part of a complex picture, where Mercury picks up speed after its most recent retrograde phase in November and now joins multiple planets in Sagittarius. Mercury is further impacted by Jupiter and Saturn through this whole transit, to bring many factors into your decision-making, and up to January 1st, especially sees you dealing with self-doubt and criticism. Use this as an opportunity for some New Year reflection, and you soon arrive at a more stable conclusion.

Remain content with the bare essentials and getting underneath the surface, where Mula’s symbol of a Root makes you dive into the heart of a subject for its own sake. You are a purist who enjoys researching a specialized topic and studying to create a ground-breaking article or theory, even without the prospect of reward. You identify closely with your ideas, with passion and energy, and this is a good time to cast light on an issue that others may overlook.

Mula’s Shakti, or unique gift, ‘To Ruin and Break Apart’, also sees you deconstructing your knowledge and making it simpler to digest and teach to others. You may hold up an established idea to the light, but be mindful that other people do not welcome your debunking, even when you are proven correct. Mula is also said to be unfortunate for speculation or gambling, so be careful of over-extending yourself financially, even though a genuine new opportunity may arrive.
