Mula
Also called: mula nakshatra
Mula, the 19th of the 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions), running from 0°00' Dhanu (Sagittarius) to 13°20' Dhanu (Sagittarius) in the sidereal zodiac. Its symbol is the tied roots. Its presiding deity is Nirriti, the goddess of dissolution, bringing getting to the root, tearing down to rebuild. Its ruling planet is Ketu, so someone born with the Moon here begins life in Ketu's dasha (planetary period). Its themes are getting to the root, upheaval, depth. Classically it is a sharp (tikshna) nakshatra, sharp and severing: the harshest of the seven, and not a starting star.
