The Raw Energy of Mula Nakshatra

Right now, the Moon is sitting in Mula Nakshatra. If you’re feeling a bit restless, it’s not just in your head. Mula translates to 'the root,' and it’s governed by Ketu. It forces us to strip away the surface-level fluff and get to the core of whatever’s bothering us.

Since Mula is ruled by Nirriti, the goddess of destruction, it’s not a soft or gentle energy. It’s about cutting ties, uprooting old patterns, and starting from zero. With the Moon here at 12 degrees, your emotional state might feel volatile or surprisingly detached. You’re likely questioning the foundation of your recent choices.

Don’t fight the intensity. This transit is essentially a cosmic cleanup. When you feel that urge to burn bridges or walk away from a project, pause for a second. Check your Vimshottari Dasha cycle—if you’re running a Ketu or Mercury sub-period, this Mula influence will be amplified. It’s an ideal time for research or getting to the bottom of a mystery, but maybe avoid making permanent life changes while the Moon is still rooted in this spot. Hold your ground and watch what actually survives the culling.
