Frequently asked questions
What is Mula Nakshatra?
Mula is one of the 27 nakshatras, spanning 240°00′–253°20′ of the sidereal zodiac and falling in Sagittarius. It is ruled by Ketu, and its gana is Rakshasa, its nadi Adi and its yoni Dog.
Which graha rules Mula Nakshatra?
Ketu. That lordship is why a person born under Mula begins life in the Ketu mahadasha, which runs 7 years in the Vimshottari cycle.
Which rashi does Mula fall in?
Sagittarius. A nakshatra spans 13°20′ and a rashi spans 30°, so most nakshatras cross a rashi boundary rather than sitting neatly inside one.
What is the gana and nadi of Mula?
Mula has Rakshasa gana and Adi nadi. Both are used in Ashtakoota matching — gana is worth six points and nadi eight.
What is the yoni of Mula?
Dog. The yoni koota compares the animals assigned to two birth nakshatras and is worth four points out of 36.
How many padas does Mula have?
Four, like every nakshatra. Each pada is 3°20′ wide, giving 108 padas across the whole zodiac.
