According to belief, Müşterî represents wisdom, knowledge, and reason. It is the qadi of the justice sultan. The term “Kâdî-i celestial sphere” refers to Müşterî.

Its Place in Literature

In literature, the term “Müşterî” is used metaphorically, as it refers both to this planet and to the meaning of “recipient.” Sometimes, it is referred to indirectly without mentioning Müşterî directly, as “judge-i carh” or “kadi-i felek.” Symbolizing justice and knowledge, ministers and scholars in ancient texts were often compared to this planet.
