Nakshatra 19 of 27
Mula
Mula goes to the root. It questions everything, tears down what is false, and often rebuilds a life from the ground more than once.
A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Yours is the one the Moon stood in when you were born, measured in the sidereal zodiac. Mula spans 0°00′ Sagittarius to 13°20′ Sagittarius.
Its ruler, Ketu, also opens the first of your life chapters (the Vimshottari dasha) if your Moon sits here.
Each nakshatra splits into four padas of 3°20′, 108 in all. Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, so the same mansion can lean four slightly different ways.
