About this pada

Pada 2 of Mula runs from Dhanu 3°20′ to Dhanu 6°40′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Dhanu; its navamsa is Vrishabha, ruled by Venus. 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 'यो' (Yo).

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: patience, reliability, good sense with money and resources, and a feel for beauty and the arts. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
