Mercury, the planet of intellect and commerce, is in Mula within the sign of Sagittarius from December 22nd to 30th, 2026.

This nakshatra’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 groundbreaking 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. This may involve holding up an established idea to the light, but be mindful that other people do not welcome your skepticism, even when you are proven correct. Mula is not the most auspicious asterism for speculation or gambling, so be careful of overextending yourself financially, even though a genuine new opportunity may arrive.

Use Mercury’s cool reasoning power in your decision-making, especially around the emotional high point of the Full Moon on December 24th. This is a good moment for intention-setting and stripping away mental clutter. Remain content with the bare essentials and getting underneath the surface, and Mercury’s positive impact from Jupiter through this whole transit brings a philosophical color into your thinking.

You like giving advice and may also receive guidance from a guru figure that tips the balance your way. Use this transit as an opportunity for New Year reflection, and you will soon arrive at a more stable conclusion.
