Sanskrit Name: मूल (Moola or Mula) in Sanskrit means “root,” indicating resilience, wealth, and good ancestry.
Planetary Ruler: Ketu. Known in the Puranas as the headless body of the shadow planet Rahu, Ketu is associated with intensity, loss, and transcendence.
Nakshatra Group: Monstrous. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Mula is a monstrous nakshatra. People in this group are generally intuitive, strong-willed, and assertive. They may be prone to anger and violence.
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius. Sagittarians are fortunate and righteous. They are wise, warm-hearted, and spiritually-inclined.
Deity: Alakshmi. In Vedic theology, Alakshmi is known as the goddess of death and misfortune. She is the mother of Dambha (fraud) and Maya (cheating).
Symbol: Roots. This represents foundations, depth, tenacity, hidden power, and the potential for growth.
Power: To uproot or ruin. Persons born under the star of Mula possess a destructive energy that can be difficult to manage. With care and discipline, it can be harnessed for great spiritual progress and also for helping others.
Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Mula are Yay (ये), Yo (यो), Bha (भा), and Bhee (भी). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.
The meaning of the word 'Moola' is a bunch of roots. Some consider that Moola Nakshatra in Astrology is the root of our solar system. According to Yajurveda, Sur or gods took oath on this Nakshathra to eliminate Asura or daemons from the root.
Moola Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology is one of the Adhomukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras which have their mouths downwards). In these nakshatras, things related to tanks, wells, temples, mining, digging, etc. can be auspiciously begun and performed.
Vedic Story of Moola Nakshatra:
When the ocean was churned to get ambrosia, the venom Kalakuta was released. From this venom, goddess Nirhuthi was born.
Characteristics of Moola Nakshatra in Astrology -
- The animal of this nakshatra is a male wolf or a male dog.
- A dog is the most fascinating creature on this planet.
- It can love to a point that it will give its life for you or it can bite and throttle someone’s bone if they cross their territory.
- They are needy, emotional, and pack animals. They always want to be with you and feel abandoned when you go to work.
- Dogs are not directly connected with wolf’s lineage as many think, rather a different species of wolf, which lived 30,000 years ago but there are few similarities.
- Wolves on the other hand are wild, sharp, smart and know how to pack hunt.
- Wolves are some of the smartest hunters in the wild.
- The most distant feature of the wolf is their howling during full moon nights or when the member of the pack dies.
- Mula individuals gets attached very quickly and don't want to let go, just like a dog, which is the animal symbol of the nakshatra.
- Mula is the root, the male dog develops deep roots not only in their master’s heart but also with other family members.
- Mula natives are attached with their family, spouse, children or friends.
- Once they are your friends, they are your friends regardless.
- A male dog is more playful most of the time vs. female dog.
- Mula natives are quite playful but their playfulness can be painful just like the sharp paws of the puppy or dog.
- They can play rough and they don’t realize they have hurt the other person.
- The symbol of Mula nakshatra is the roots, roots of a tree, plant or even our own roots.
- Roots grow underground hence, invisible.
- We only see what is in front of us growing above the ground.
- Mula natives are the embodiment of their roots, their past; their ancestors.
- They love to be detectives, search the past, like an archaeologist or paleontologist.
- The roots can be completely uprooted especially when taking out a dead plant or removing trees to clear out a land.
- Native who have clusters of Mula in their chart will always have the tendency of uprooting their life without a hint.
- Even if everything is fine in a relationship, career or some idea, they just completely bulldoze and clear it out to pave a way for something new.
- Mula natives may love studying the roots of plants and trees.
- Sometimes, the basic meaning of things would be the biggest karma of a person, like a Ashwini native would be training horses for a living.
- Mula natives would also love eating things which are buried under ground like potatoes, beats, ginger, garlic, onion; some even have a fascination with cemeteries and graveyards.
- The deity of Moola nakshatra is Nirriti, the goddess of destruction.
- She is the goddess who brings new creation, after destruction.
- She is described as having golden locks, dark, and connected with the underworld.
- She is very much similar to goddess Kali.
- Goddess Nirriti rules the South West direction and is supposed to have come from the anus of Brahma in the creation myth.
- There are variations of Daksha’s yagna story in which goddess Nirriti is supposed to have accompanied Rudra to destroy Daksha’s yagna.
- Kali is the fierce form of goddess Durga, who stopped her destruction only after Shiva himself surrendered to her feet.
- Nirriti is also connected with goddess Dhumavati, one of the ten Mahavidyas as well as goddess Alakshmi, also called as Jyeshtha, the goddess of poverty, is the elder sister of Lakshmi.
- Lakshmi is the goddess of prosperity is supposed to visit Jyeshtha, her elder sister on every Saturday on the Pipal tree.
- Lakshmiji follows and visit their home, who pay respect to the Pipal tree on Saturday.
- Kali is connected to the black hole that is driving the center of the Milky Way, and her connection with Shiva is pointing to the Ardra-Moola nakshatra axis, with a black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
- After reading the mythology the first impression we have for Mula natives is that they are followers of Kali, especially in Indian culture.
- Someone in a foreign country from Celtic culture may worship a dark goddess like Carawin or Erzulie Dantor in Voodoo, which is a white magic to heal and protect people.
- Laxmiji blesses a person who worships the Pipal tree where Jyeshtha resides and shows great love and admiration of her elder sibling.
- Mula natives will protect their siblings and when someone does well for their siblings they would bow and protect them like their own sibling.
- Just like the fierce goddess Kali these natives are fierce too.
- They will challenge, stand up to anyone and take out the roots of beliefs and tradition in an instant.
- Like their yoni animal, they can become Pit Bulls.
- The position of Mula in the sky points towards the supermassive blackhole region of the galaxy.
- So far we know nothing about inside a black hole, no one has been near it, inside it, and most are theoretical observations of scientific models.
- Mula natives are as mysterious as the black hole; they can suddenly be comedians and then quickly turn into a killer like “The Joker”.
- They are quite unpredictable with chaotic energy around them.
- We do know via science that light doesn’t escape the black hole and it tends to suck everything around it; for this reason a Mula person must redirect their energy into a positive spiritual path because they will see how quickly they start sucking the energy of other people towards them and others would enjoy sinking into their spiritual hole.
- However, the general population is not spiritual and neither desire to walk on that path.
- A Mula person can be quite intense to be around, where you may feel they suck your energy.
- A black hole crushes everything that comes near it hence, the Mula native also love to crush things, for example if they drink a can of coke they will crush it and throw it away, or someone who loves to see cars and other materials be crushed and destroyed by monster trucks or tanks.
