Mula nakshatra: Mula is the root — the drive to dig down to the very foundation and tear out whatever is false.
Mula is one of the 27 nakshatras — the lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Mula is the root — the drive to dig down to the very foundation and tear out whatever is false.
Meaning
Mula is the root — the drive to dig down to the very foundation and tear out whatever is false. Ruled by Nirriti, goddess of dissolution, you carry a searching, philosophical intensity and the courage to destroy in order to reach truth. You are not satisfied with surfaces; you go to the bottom of things, even when what you find unsettles everything.
Your strength
Fearless investigation and depth — you seek the root cause, question everything, and have the strength to transform through radical honesty.
Growth edge
Rebuilding after you uproot. Your gift for tearing down completes itself only when you also plant something new in the cleared ground.
Deity, symbol & ruler
Mula is presided over by Nirriti (goddess of dissolution) / Alakshmi and symbolized by a bundle of tied roots or an elephant goad, with the dog as its animal. It is ruled by Ketu, which colours how its energy expresses in your life.
