Mulaमूल
Mula is the nineteenth Nakshatra (0°–13°20' Dhanu), symbolized by a bunch of roots and ruled by Nirriti, the goddess of destruction and dissolution. Its Yoni (compatibility animal) is Dog, its Gana is Rakshasa, and its Nadi is Aadi (Vata).
Mula is explicitly on this app's unfavorable list for Griha Pravesh (housewarming) and is not on the favorable list for any of the other three Muhurat Search activities (vehicle purchase, property purchase, new job) — Muhurat Search will flag it as a negative factor specifically for housewarming.
Mula's Visha Ghati begins at the 56th ghati (of 60) — the latest starting point of any Nakshatra in this app's table, meaning the toxic window covers only the very last sliver of its span.
Mula is ruled by Nirriti, the goddess associated with destruction, dissolution, and calamity — but in a transformative rather than purely negative sense, clearing what is unnecessary. Its symbol is a bunch of roots, representing the foundation beneath the visible and the process of getting to the root of things. Its ruling planet (Nakshatra lord, used in Vimshottari Dasha sequencing) is Ketu.
Classical texts associate Mula with a drive to investigate root causes, willingness to dismantle what isn't working, and resilience through upheaval — people with a strong Mula influence are traditionally described as probing, unafraid of difficult truths, and capable of rebuilding after loss or disruption.
Per the traditional naming-syllable table this app uses for the Baby Names feature, a child born under Mula's four Padas is traditionally named starting with "Ye", "Yo", "Bha", or "Bhi" respectively.
