What the Moon in Mula favors
Mula means 'root' — the Moon here digs down to origins, including uncomfortable ones. Not a gentle mansion; Nirriti, the goddess of dissolution, presides. Favorable for: deep therapy, root-cause investigation, getting to the truth of a long-running problem, ending something that's run its course, research into fundamentals. Less favorable for: starting delicate new ventures, weddings, first meetings — the mansion tends to unearth what's been hidden and that's destabilizing at thresholds. If something needs examining down to the source, Mula will help you look.
