Mula

Mula, meaning 'the Root,' corresponds to Shaula (lambda Scorpii) at the tail of the Scorpion and is presided over by Nirrity, goddess of calamity, ruled by Ketu (the South Node). This sharp asterism belongs to the butcher caste and represents the most fundamental level of existence: the root from which everything grows and to which everything returns.

Mula's destructive reputation conceals a deeper truth: by returning to the root, one accesses the source of all renewal. The 'Two Releasers' alternative name refers to the belief that this mansion's stars bring relief from lingering diseases.

Mula sits at the galactic center, the point where the Milky Way is densest and most luminous. This astronomical fact resonates with the nakshatra's emphasis on fundamental origins and cosmic roots. Nirrity's presidency brings destruction that serves purification, while Ketu strips away all that is superficial to reveal the essential core.

The Moon in Mula favors punishment, exorcism, and activities requiring decisive, cutting action. Despite the fierce classification, those born with Moon here are described as wealthy, luxurious, kind-hearted, happy, and resolute, suggesting that Mula's severity serves ultimately constructive ends.

A sharp asterism favourable for punishment, torture, imprisonment, exorcism, mesmerism and separation or union when containing the Moon.

Those born on the lunar day will be druggists, dealers in flowers and fruit, rich and fond of gardening.
