Why Moola is misunderstood
Moola
Which Nakshatra is the most misunderstood? There are 27 of them, and in my view it is Moola.
Moola is ruled by Goddess Nirrti. Themes of destruction, torture and violence are associated with her, and she is described as a goddess of destruction.
The maternal side of Goddess Nirrti
Nirrti
In my experience of reading birth charts of people with Moola's influence, however, I have found the maternal side linked to Goddess Nirrti to be more visible.
Goddess Nirrti is also known to be the mother of people abandoned by society, and the same symbolism can extend to places that are war-torn, infertile or abandoned.
Pope Francis and Oprah Winfrey
Examples
Two examples help illustrate this side of Moola. Pope Francis has three planets in Moola in his chart. Oprah Winfrey has Moola as her rising Nakshatra.
The softer side of Moola
Softer side
Moola, in my view, has a softer maternal side that deserves to be highlighted more.
