#Mula #Nakshatra in #Astrology
#Moola Nakshatra’s deity is ‘ #Niritti’, the goddess of destruction, calamity, death, corruption, and dissolution. ‘Nir’ means ‘to be deprived of or dissolved’. ‘Ritti’ means ‘natural order or right’. Hence, Niritti implies deprivation of natural order or right action.

The Niritti Shakti empowers the natives to break away from all the material shackles and illusions. The symbolism for this nakshatra is ‘tangled roots’. ‘Moola’ itself means roots which signifies everything in its basic nature. Lord #Ganesha is the lord of #Ketu, and he plays an important role in Moola Nakshatra.

This is the first nakshatra from which one starts a spiritual journey. Moola Nakshatra can be understood by Muladhara Chakra, which is the base chakra where the root of latent and karmic energy (Prarabdha) resides. The blessings and curses both are seated in this chakra. Every action is a seed that is planted in Muladhara across lifetimes.

Muladhara Chakra is your sixth house which is Upachay. It is also the centre of all the ‘Vasanas’ (desires). Ketu governs Vasanas, and Lord Ganesha balances the uncontrollable desires. This is where Moola Nakshatra comes into the picture. Since it is the root Nakshatra, the ‘tangled roots’ itself implies the ties of Vasanas. These Vasanas are about karmic patterns, where the native has to go beyond them towards Moksha.

Moola is about being tied to material responsibilities or possessions. Muladhara chakra is represented by four petals: Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. So, Muladhara is the residence of these four karmic patterns. Lord Ganesh is the remedy for overcoming all the Vasanas and directing the native in the right direction.

This nakshatra is connected to progeny. These are the people who are interested in the family tree and lineage. This is also known as destroying nakshatra. If something new has to come, the old things must be destroyed – old thoughts, patterns, and habits. It is the root of the progeny. This is the Shiva energy. Also, this is the root of the spiritual journey.

It is a Tiksha Nakshatra that makes the natives face harsh realities. It is believed that the soul’s seed sprouts in this nakshatra which is Adhamukha (facing downward), and its journey continues till Ardra Nakshatra (facing upward) towards the ultimate liberation.

In the zodiac wheel, Moola Nakshatra is connected to the Sagittarius sign.
