Winning the argument at any cost

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.

Mercury in Mula

The research-oriented side of this Nakshatra would be very visible when Mercury is here. You're combining intellect, reasoning ability, with the ability of a Mula native to look at a problem closely, examine an issue closely. Interestingly, you'd have the ability to explain your findings efficiently. Like business consultants, they've put together their research, they've looked at the client's issues closely, and now they've compiled a report, a presentation, for example.

The presentation would be fact-based, well-researched, and very meaningful, very insightful. A career in market research, business strategy, even advertising is possible. The only downside I see here is the native going to the extreme in defeating one's opponents, particularly, for example, in the business sector. Like building a strategy to completely annihilate one's competitors in the same space, in the same industry.

The native may not worry about the consequences and may go to the extreme to achieve one's business goals. Other than that, this is a strong position. The native can also be an expert in an ancient science which the native might be naturally drawn to. Within medicine, the native can have a career in dermatology.

Lastly, the native would be a friend to the ones who are suffering. That would be the native's style of looking after the ones who are mistreated in some ways. Like in the business sector, there's an employee who has suffered some discrimination. A Mercury-in-Mula individual can comfort that mistreated person like a friend.

Within one's own friend circle, the native could be treated as a caretaker of some kind. That's my view.
