Mula Nakshatra
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Mula is the 19th nakshatra, spanning 0°00' Dhanu to 13°20' Dhanu in the sidereal zodiac. It is ruled by Ketu, its deity is Nirriti, and its symbol is the bunch of tied roots. Classified as Rakshasa gana with Dog yoni and Antya nadi, its theme is getting to the root — including by pulling up what was comfortably planted.

How it tends to read
The through-line is getting to the root — including by pulling up what was comfortably planted. Strengths commonly noted: Investigates to the actual foundation; Willing to discard a false premise entirely; Philosophical depth earned the hard way. The corresponding costs: Uproots what did not need uprooting; Severity toward self and others; Endings arrive abruptly.
