Mula Nakshatra

Mula Nakshatra in Detail

The Moola nakshatra is associated with "reversal" or "turning things upside down". Moola has a reputation as a difficult star, partly because its deity is Nirriti, linked with Alakshmi, the goddess of misfortune. Moola means "the root", the fundamental nature of everything, and like a root it works deeply within a narrow path. Old servants, seed sellers and similar people are said to come under this nakshatra. Moola natives are drawn to philosophical, literary, scientific and other fundamental subjects. Its sphere is the city rather than the countryside.

Moola is one of the Gandanta (Gand Mool) nakshatras, which tradition treats with special care. All four of its padas lie in Sagittarius, and it is ruled by Ketu. Old beliefs say a Moola birth can trouble the family, but there is no need to worry: people born under Moola have many good qualities, and we should focus on these rather than on old fears. Simple remedies are traditionally performed after a Moola birth for peace of mind.

Moola men are very good-looking, with bright eyes. A Moola man knows where he is going and can overcome the obstacles in his path to success. He thinks positively but sometimes worries about the future. His weakest point is that he cannot follow his own advice. He may fall into debt while helping friends, and money troubles can make him move from one job to another. He likes to do things his own way. His difficulty in keeping his finances balanced can lead to borrowing. He is the kind of person who advises others but does not follow the same principles himself. His family life is supported well by his spouse.

This unusual combination suits a financial consultant or spiritual adviser. Moola natives are skilled in many areas, but frequent changes of job or trade can make them unstable, and as a result they always seem to need money. They can also have unusual friendships. If a friend cannot earn honestly, that friend will always be in debt, so it is wise for Moola natives to keep away from such company. If a Moola native feels responsible for everything happening in the world, he should become a little more self-focused and find ways to improve his own finances.

They should take care of their chest and stomach, and looking after themselves will serve them well. Moola women are kind-hearted but stubborn and can make things more complicated than they are. Many are not very interested in formal education and may find school difficult. Personal and married life may face challenges and need patience and care. Joint pain or arthritis may trouble them in the second half of life.
