The Moon completes the 27 mansions in about 27.3 days, so a Mula day comes round roughly once a month and lasts about a day.
What a Mula Moon-day is like
Mula is a rakshasa nakshatra — in panchang terms a sharp, forceful day, classically favoured for demanding tasks, competition, clearing obstacles, and work that needs an edge — traditionally avoided for gentle beginnings. Its temperament runs to roots, truth, dissolution, under the rulership of Ketu.
