The Sun, planet of self and creativity, enters Sagittarius-Mula on December 15th to 29th 2024, the nakshatra associated with bare essentials and getting into the heart of the matter.

Mula is symbolised 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 specialised 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 exchanges light with its planetary friend Jupiter throughout this transit, which gives you confidence in your ideas and a sense of purpose in everything you do.

The sense of all possibilities may be intoxicating, but try to narrow your focus and concentrate on one subject closest to your heart. A teacher may be available to consult, or you can give advice yourself based on worldly and travel experience. The New Moon in Mula on December 20th is a kind of rebirth experience, where you feel a strong emotional centre and get in touch with your deepest roots.
