Questions people ask
Who is the ruling planet of Mula nakshatra?
Mula is ruled by Ketu. People born with the Moon here begin life in Ketu Mahadasha in the Vimshottari dasha system.
What is the gana and nadi of Mula?
Mula belongs to Rakshasa gana and Adi nadi. Its yoni (animal symbol) is the dog.
Which nakshatras match best with Mula?
Using each nakshatra’s mid-point, the highest traditional Guna Milan scores for a Mula boy are with Dhanishta (29.5), Mula (28), Chitra (27). Real results depend on the exact Moon degree and the other koota rules, so always check both full birth charts.
Does Mula have Nadi dosha with Ashwini?
Mula shares Adi nadi with Ashwini, Ardra, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Jyeshtha, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, so the Nadi koota scores 0 with them. Tradition cancels this in several cases (for example the same nakshatra in different charans). See the Nadi dosha page for the rules.
