Mūla ('root';Devanagari मूल/मूळ,Kannada:ಮೂಲcode: kan promoted to code: kn,Telugu:మూల,Tamil:மூலம்) According to the Vedic astrological beliefs, Moola (Mula) nakshatra is the 19th nakshatra or lunar mansion among the 27 nakshatras, and it ranges from degrees 0°00 to 13°20′ in the Sagittarius sign. The meaning of ‘Moola’ is the root and its symbol is a group of a bunch of roots that are tied together. Moola nakshatra is ruled by the Goddess of destruction, i.e. Goddess Maha Kali.[1][2] The symbol of Miula is a bunch of roots tied together (reticulated roots) or an 'elephant goad' (ankusha) and the Deity associated with it isNiriti, the god of dissolution and destruction. The Lord of Mula isKetu (south lunar as a node).Ketu is known as the planet of detachment, symbolizing the letting go of worldly attachments, ego, and materialism to foster spiritual growth and inner peace.
Nirṛti goddess of dissolution, calamity and destruction is the diety of this nakshatra.She is also called “alakshmi” or the denial of lakshmi.The animal associated with Mula nakshatra is dog, the color is bright yellow, Gana is Rakshasa and the bird is Red vulture.[3]
The Ascendant/Lagna in Mula indicates a person who has a passionate desire to get to the truth and is good at investigation and research. They are direct, ardent and truthful and are shrewd and ambitious, but they can feel trapped and bound by circumstances and so feel resentment and a sense of betrayal, but they always end successful in life.
The centre of this galaxy, the Milky Way, lies in this nakshatra, hence the name Mula.[4]
