Mula is the 19th Nakshatra occupying 0 degrees Sagittarius to 13 degrees 20 minutes Sagittarius. Its planetary ruler is Ketu, and its ruling deity is Goddess Nirrti.
Goddess Nirrti, the ruling deity of Mula
She is the Goddess of destruction. She’s the daughter of Himsa (Violence) and Adharma (unrighteousness). She has Bhaya (fear), Naraka (hell), Maya (illusion), and Vedana (torture) as her children. Destruction is the first step towards creation and evolution, and she is assigned this sacred task. She’s the most feared. She uproots, disfigures, and mutilates everything in her path. Sometimes such an extreme force is necessary to wake us up. Cyclones, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, epidemics and other natural disasters are therefore directly associated with her. She’s known to devour the elderly, sick, and the destitute first. She is known to shackle her prey with a noose made of iron. Mula is classified as Tikshna (sharp-edged), tamasic (dark), and demonic.
Goddess Nirrti as Mother Earth
She is the mother of places that are devoid of plants and vegetation: infertile, abandoned or war-torn places, and places marked by cracks, crevices and craters. Such places teach us the value of natural resources and strengthen our resolve to survive difficult conditions, such as extreme weather, a lack of food and supplies, bare-minimum wages, a business crisis, or physical or mental illness. Such resolve keeps us real, practical, afloat, grounded, hardworking, dharmic, generous and empathetic, and awakens us to a higher state of consciousness. The native is self-aware, self-understanding, and lays a foundation for a long-lasting successful career.
Mula careers
Mula's main symbol is a group of plants tied together by their roots or just the root of a plant/tree. The native excels in any career that requires uncovering the root cause of a complex issue. The native would have a direct, pin-pointed, and highly focused approach in life. The native would not shy away from brutally cutting ties with people or getting rid of distractions in pursuit of the end goal. Researchers, detectives, astrologers, geneticists, genealogists, historians, microbiologists, psychotherapists and Ayurvedic healers are seen from this Nakshatra. Its planetary ruler is Ketu, which links the native’s choice of career to a talent or skill developed in past lives.
