Nakshatra 19 of 27
The root. Mula digs into fundamentals, tears down illusions, and rebuilds from the ground up.
Mula natives — born when the Moon transited this lunar mansion — carry the energetic imprint of Nirriti (Goddess of Destruction) and rulership of Ketu. Their intrinsic nature is investigative, root-searching, transformative. This shapes emotional temperament, karmic patterns, and how they express themselves in the world.
The symbol — Bunch of Roots — offers a meditative image for understanding this nakshatra's essence. When Ketu is well-placed in the natal chart, Mula's qualities amplify beautifully. When afflicted, the shadow expression can emerge.
In the traditional Namkaran ceremony, babies born under Mula are named with a first syllable drawn from one of the four padas of this nakshatra:
Your birth Nakshatra determines your entire 120-year Vimshottari Dasha and shapes your karmic path.
