The Sun, star of soul and self-expression, is in the Gandanda zone between Scorpio and Sagittarius, and Jyeshta and Mula on December 12th until 19th, 2025.

This double junction area extending on either side of zodiacal fire and water signs and nakshatras brings a period of confusion where your plans have an unformed quality. You may struggle to get practical business done, as the Sun is going through these borderlands, test your natural assurance and sense of identity. The solar principle is about charisma and confidence, and the Sun also shines a light wherever it travels, but you have to create solid ground under your feet and work extra hard.

The energy is unpredictable and self-effacing, and the Jyeshta-Mula boundary can be the most volatile of all Gandanta phases. Prepare for people to take advantage of your reflective demeanour, and you may use up valuable energy in fighting for your case. This is also a good time to use the ‘gap’ energy consciously and embrace freedom and potentially clear yourself of obligation. Saying no to something you would usually accept or surrender to can be liberating. Follow your own pace and don’t allow the intense atmosphere to influence your choices.

By December 15th, the Sun entering Sagittarius comes together with fiery Mars in Mula to make an abrupt change of tone. Mula has an otherworldly and disruptive quality, but you can put an expert and specialized idea you have thought up in private out into the world. The approach to the New Moon of December 20th is also a period of clearing out, where you emerge with a more complete sense of yourself.
