A need to be right

Mula Nakshatra

I'd like to share a quotation from the Bhagavad Gita which says our intellect is in the mode of goodness. If we understand what is proper action, what is improper, what is duty, what is not duty, what is to be feared and what not to be feared, what is liberating and what is binding. If we have the reasoning ability to understand the differences, our intellect is in the mode of goodness. Mula falls entirely in the sign of Sagittarius and as per mythology more importantly it's ruled by goddess Nirrti.

Goddess Nirrti has many aspects to her personality and two of them are she's known to be behind mass destruction and she's also known to be the mother of places which have been abandoned and of people who have been discriminated against in the society. Goddess Nirrti in her destructive form is known to mutilate everything at sight. Imagine a wildfire, a cyclone, a hurricane, such natural disasters destroy everything they touch and goddess Nirrti has this thankless job of destruction as destruction is an important first step for a new creation and in this destruction she takes the lives of the ones most vulnerable.

This may paint a very negative picture of goddess Nirrti but we must understand that destruction is necessary and she has the thankless job. Take your mind back to the pandemic. I think COVID-19 was a very Mula-like event as during that time the most vulnerable, the old, the ones who had health issues were the ones who had to lose their lives and perhaps goddess Nirrti had to do this job. Loss of life and destruction can be a huge lesson for humanity. She plays that role.

Jupiter in Mula

I think Jupiter in Mula belongs to researchers, particularly the ones who are finding things out from the past. Historians can have Jupiter in Mula, medical researchers, particularly the ones specialising in genetics can have Jupiter in Mula. This is a combination in my view as the native would not only be research-oriented, the native would also have the stamina to complete one's research, to fulfil the purpose behind one's research. Research is never-ending but conclusions can be reached at several stages and those conclusions go missing if the researcher gives up, which wouldn't be the case if Jupiter is in Mula.

The native may educate and inspire and motivate the ones who are suffering in the society. Like initiatives in the education sector where affordable education is provided to the ones who are not as privileged as others. The native may even inspire the society to learn lessons from the past. What have we achieved by going to war?

Furthermore, the native can even be a spiritual leader on the merit of one's spiritual progress in the past lives. In this life the native may naturally assume the role of a spiritual leader, Jupiter in Mula. This is an excellent position if the native wishes to explore the world, if the native wishes to travel for the purpose of education, research. Research not necessarily for academic reasons but for personal reasons.

The native might be very fond of knowing more about different cultures and Jupiter in Mula would provide many opportunities in my view, particularly under Jupiter Dasha, to fulfil your ambitions for exploration. It's very likely you'd be attracted to ancient sciences. This is an excellent position if the native wants to be an astrologer for example. Since the sign of Sagittarius where Jupiter falls is also ruled by Jupiter, I find this to be a very strong position.

One of the only downsides I see is the native may go to the extreme to prove one's understanding to be correct. Like sometimes scientists, they get into a debate. The conclusions drawn by one scientist could be such that it challenges the other scientists. A Jupiter-in-Mula scientist may go to the extreme to prove oneself right and can get excessively competitive on a philosophical plane. Other than that, I find Jupiter in Mula to be a very strong position. That's my view.
