The Sun, planet of self and creativity, enters Sagittarius-Mula from December 16th to 29th, 2026, the nakshatra associated with bare essentials and getting to the heart of the matter.

Mula is symbolized by a Root and is concerned with simplicity and has an ascetic quality where you follow a cause or desire for its own sake, rather than for business or status. You can explore your specialized subject and become an expert far beyond the ordinary, though you may not get instant credit for your efforts. Mula is also said to be unfortunate for borrowing or investing, so be careful not to overreach or gamble in a new enterprise.

It’s better to stick with an area you are passionate about and get satisfaction from moving the boundaries in a way only experts appreciate. This nakshatra’s Shakti, or unique power, ‘the Power to Ruin and Destroy,’ also suggests breaking down old structures before you move ahead with the new. Keep your temper, and be mindful of frustration if people don’t pick up on your thinking immediately.

The Sun receives the gaze of its planetary friend Jupiter throughout this transit, and the two planets also exchange signs, which gives you confidence in your ideas and a renewed sense of purpose. You can turn spiritual interests and academic credentials into real-world status at this point, where you are respected for your knowledge. A teacher may also be available to consult, or you offer your own brand of advice based on worldly and travel experience.

The Full Moon of December 24th is an emotional high point, where you are sensitive to your moods and enjoy the company and support of your family.
