Mula-Trikona

Moolatrikona

root-base of the Triange

Classical Jyotisha assigns a "super-performance" degree range to each planet, called Mula-Trikona, or "root of good fortune"

• literally, "base (root) of the triangle", a cosmological power position

When a planet occupies its Moolatrikona range in radix, navamsha, or varga, it produces strong beneficial effect.

Be on the lookout for negative aspects which might hinder an otherwise glamorous mulatrikona planet. However, unimpeded, these planets will give exceptionally good results.
