Mula Nakshatra

Mula Nakshatra

Mula Nakshatra is the nineteeth nakshatra out of the 27 nakshatras in vedic astrology. This nakshatra lies within the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. The Milky Way constellation is in this nakshatra. Its ruling planet is Ketu, the south node of the moon and its presiding deity is Nirriti, which is referred as the goddess of dissolution or goddess of destruction and lives in the kingdom of the dead. As a result, there is this myth that natives born with this nakshatra bring problems to the family. But, actually this is far from truth and Mula natives have many honorable qualities. Infact, the presiding deity no doubt brings the energy of loss and destruction to this nakshatra, but on a positive note, this destructive force is helpful for surrender and transformation. Sometimes Moola nakshatra becomes negative due to the effect of Ketu but at the same time, it implies non-violence and protection of that which is good.
