About Mula Nakshatra
Mula is the 19th of the 27 Nakshatras (lunar mansions) in Vedic astrology. It spans from 240.00° to 253.33° in the sidereal zodiac.
The presiding deity of Mula is Nirriti, and it is ruled by the planet Ketu in the Vimshottari dasha system. Natives born under this nakshatra are influenced by the characteristics of both the deity and the ruling planet.
Each pada (quarter) of Mula falls in a different Navamsa sign, giving subtle variations in the expression of this nakshatra's energy. Understanding your birth nakshatra and pada provides deep insight into your personality, strengths, and life path.
