Mula nakshatra traits
Mula goes to the root of things: philosophical, investigative and ready to tear down to rebuild.
Dasha at birth
If your Moon is in Mula, your life begins in the Ketu dasha, a 7-year period; how much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Mula the Moon had travelled.
Mula in the Panchang
When the Moon passes through Mula, the day takes on a sharp quality, traditionally good for cutting old ties and firm decisions rather than new beginnings. See today's nakshatra in the Panchang.
