- Statement
- Mulatrikona ('root trine') is a degree-range in which a planet functions very well, almost as well as exaltation; usually part of the positive (odd) sign the planet rules. Ranges: Sun 4°–20° Leo, Moon 4°–20° Taurus (in its exaltation sign, as the Moon has no odd sign), Mars 0°–12° Aries, Mercury 16°–20° Virgo (in its own+exaltation sign Virgo, as Mercury has no separate exaltation sign), Jupiter 0°–10° Sagittarius, Venus 0°–15° Libra, Saturn 0°–20° Aquarius.
