About this pada

Pada 1 of Mula runs from Dhanu 0°00′ to Dhanu 3°20′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Dhanu; its navamsa is Mesha, ruled by Mars. The nakshatra's lord is Ketu, so a birth in this pada begins with the Ketu mahadasha. In the avakahada chakra (tradition), the name syllable of this pada is 'ये' (Ye).

What tradition holds

Tradition holds that people with the Moon in Mula are not satisfied with surface answers. They keep asking "why" and want to reach the real cause of a matter. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: courage, a habit of taking the initiative, frank speech, and stepping forward to take responsibility when things get hard. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
