Mula Nakshatra: Meaning
Mula, the root, nineteenth nakshatra of Dhanu, has the calamity Nirriti as deity but a favorable portrait; Ketu dasha, 7 years.
Mula means root, with the idea of the depths of things. The nineteenth nakshatra, it opens Dhanu and takes up its first 13 degrees 20 minutes.
Its deity can alarm: Nirriti, calamity, who also presides over the southwest. One can also read Rakshasa. Two faces of what undoes. It is pictured as a lion's tail, and the sky places there the stars of the Scorpion's tail: nine most often, sometimes eleven or two.
Should we see an ill-omened asterism here? The birth portrait says exactly the opposite: it is favorable. This gap between the deity and the portrait stays as it is.
Ketu leads its dasha, which lasts 7 years.
Your Moon in Mula
The deity of Mula is Nirriti, "calamity". You would expect a black picture, and the portrait does the opposite. For the Moon of this nakshatra, it gives a joyful mood, settled convictions, constancy. A person with no wish to harm. It adds a love of comfort and beauty, along with a pride that can slide toward haughtiness. Imagine someone who takes a long time to choose an armchair and then keeps it for twenty years.
We simply note the distance between the deity and the portrait. Your Moon was crossing Dhanu from its start up to 13°20′, a sidereal sign, and a Ketu dasha opened your life.
Its ruler is Ketu: life begins in the Ketu dasha. It sits in Sagittarius sidereal.
