🌌 Overall Mula Energy & Traits

Mula means "the root" — ruled by Ketu with Nirriti (goddess of dissolution) as deity. This powerful nakshatra uproots and destroys to reach the fundamental truth. Beginning Sagittarius, it represents the spiritual quest that requires letting go of everything superficial.

You are driven to get to the root of everything — knowledge, truth, problems, existence itself. Superficiality is impossible for you. Ketu's influence creates detachment from material values, while Nirriti destroys structures that no longer serve. You may experience significant losses early in life that redirect you toward deeper understanding. Your intelligence is research-oriented and penetrating. Philosophical and spiritual inquiry drives your life. Destructive tendencies and nihilism are your shadows.
