#Moola #Nakshatra is the nineteenth Nakshatra in the series of the lunar constellations or Nakshatras in Vedic Astrology. It is symbolized by a bunch of roots tied together, meaning many things at once. It represents hidden things, secrecy, works, and events. It also means someone who is tied to their roots and generally does not move forward due to them, not going far away from their birthplace. This also means someone who gets to the roots of all situations to either find the cause of the problem or to prove a point.

It also includes crossing people’s personal boundaries. They are often seen in a bad light due to their nature and behavior but develop a thick-skin to go through it. They might cause issues in other people’s relationships and life due to the projection of what they experience in their own. Men in this nakshatra are skilled at many things and will change their profession often to find their best fit.

#Mula #Nakshatra, which is from 00°00' - 13°20' degrees in Sagittarius sign, is the 19th Nakshatra in the zodiac as per Indian #Vedic astrology. This lunar constellation is written in different ways but all refer to the same Moola nakshatra. It is popularly written as #Moola Nakshatra, some also write it as Mula Nakshatra. While some call it Gandmool Nakshatra. The reason for that is, this nakshatra is placed at one of the #Gandanta positions in zodiac. Gandanta is the position which is an ending and a starting point for both Rashi and Nakshatra. Some just call it as Mool nakshatra and this is also the proper Sanskrit Pronunciation for this word Moola.

Moola or Mula this word itself embodies the meaning. The symbol for Mula Nakshatra and the meaning for word 'Mula' is #root. Some ancient books address the meaning for this nakshatra as Roots, which are tied or bunched together.

Roots penetrate deep into the earth. And in Indian mythology roots are associated with the unseen realm which is said to be under the ground and therefore Moola Nakshatra has its association with getting into the bottom of things. Sometimes this examination can be general but a deep inquiry and other times it can be a figurative process by scientific or philosophical approach. Mula Nakshatra also signifies restraint, limits, limited mobility or bondage. The reason for it again refers to the symbol of roots tied together.

The ruling deity for Mula Nakshatra is Nirriti, the goddess of dissolution who personifies the evils like calamity and corruption. Some experts even say that #Nirriti is a form of #Alakshami, the #goddess of evils and misfortunes and the sister of Goddess #Lakshami. Nirriti therefore either directly indices material deprivation or causes the deterioration prosperity after it is attained. Since Nirriti also denotes opposites and also reverses and losses, Mula Nakshatra is associated with contrariness, and with borrowing and lending to one's harm. Hence it is considered a bad practice to lend or borrow during the period of Moola Nakshatra, for the debt may go bad or prove to be causing worry and disturbance in life. The Moola Nakshatra even stands for the unseen origins of visible conditions like germs which are roots for some diseases. #Roots are also foundations, beginnings and sources and Moola rules it too. Root being much used for medicinal purpose during ancient times and even today. This lunar constellation is also associated with #medicines.

Moon in Moola Nakshatra: If Mula Nakshatra or Moola Nakshatra is the Birth star or #Birth Nakshatra, the person is haughty or proud but also rich and happy. And Moola native is not inclined to injure others. With this Janma Nakshatra natives have firm and fixed opinions and live in luxury.

#Mula #Nakshatra is located right at the beginning of the last nine Nakshatras in the Nakshatra wheel, spanning 0º00′ – 13º20′ Sagittarius.

Just like all the Nakshatras ruled by the Lunar Nodes, Mula offers incredible healing opportunities, if one is willing to work through the muck.

Mula is symbolized by a tangle of #roots, entangled roots, showing the attachment to earthly matters we are asked to let go of on this part of the souls journey through it’s evolutionary cycle. Yet at the same time its important to have strong roots that keep us grounded while preparing to reach for the stars, in other words, it’s important to stay anchored in the material world so we can safely reach and let the soul advance without getting untethered.

As mentioned, some Nakshatras truly have a negative rep in astrologers circle. Mula is one of them, Ashlesha Nakshatra is another, so is Jyeshtha Nakshatra. Interestingly, all these Nakshatras, and of course there are others that can be difficult, toe the degrees between Water and Fire signs, the #Gandanta degrees that can cause so much (emotional) turmoil due to their qualities of showing where our spiritual entanglements lie, the karmic knot.We have three of these Gandantas in the Nakshatra Wheel, effecting all Nakshatras on the border between Water and Fire signs: Ashlesha/Magha, Jyeshtha/Mula, Revati/Ashwini. The Jyeshtha/Mula Gandanta is considered the most difficult of all three and holds an entire chapter of consideration and remedies on it’s own in the ancient text Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS).

To me, Mula Nakshatra is one with great potential for personal transformation, especially if you are not afraid to do the dirty work, dig deep and unravel some of the entanglement that keep the mind bound. This is a great constellation for research, searching for truth, dharma, unveiling some of the earthly illusions that are part of our everyday life. But also research in an academic sense, which makes this a great Nakshatra for scientific work and studies.

We find a chance to transcend our earthly suffering here by acknowledging that materialism isn’t all that it’s made out to be in our capitalist world. Deep peace can be found in realizing that everything will come to an end, which is where new beginnings are found. It’s also important to come to terms with loss. As mentioned before, this is a Nakshatra of poverty, but also of riches and abundance. Ruled by #Nritti, the #Godess of Disappointment, Smoke and Shadows, a milder version of the Goddess Kali – the destroyer of ignorance, and Alakshmi – the negative aspect of the Goddess of Abundance, Lakshmi.

Nritti shows us that nothing is permanent and we are sure to get disappointed at more than one time in life. She also shows great compassion for those less fortunate and people with mental health issues. Mula has the capacity to truly create change, as long as we can understand it’s nature and can learn to transcend through suffering.

The thing that keeps us in a cycle of fear and unhappiness when it comes to this Ketu ruled Nakshatra, is the fear of facing our deepest fears around these issues, ironically. A good way to work with this energy is to meditate on loss and what it means to you. Grounding in meditation through Muladhara Chakra is a beautiful practice to work with deep seated security issues and survival modus that can occur here. Working with Ganapati and listening to the Ganapati Atharvashirsha Upanishad can be helpful in settling your mind.
