the Nakshatra Mula
"Opposite" or "reverse" of movement; forbidding movement or forbidding repayment; finite, limited, sticks to its base; does not exceed a narrow, pre-set range.
The native is charismatic yet insincere. Externally capable; internally unhappy.
Binding or restraint, root-bound; chained, bound or arrested.
Esoterically, Mula is considered the center of Earth's galaxy, the celestial "root" of our greater galactic civilization ( of which Earthly civilization is only one component)
Traditionally it is forbidden to make loans during the Moon's transit through Mula nakshatra. The repayment of such loans would be difficult-to-impossible, as they are cursed by Mula's energy of bound-ness or non-movement.
"Prajapati desired, "May I find the root of progeny." One who makes the appropriate offering to Prajapati, to Mula, gains the root of progeny.
Here Mula is ruled by Prajapati, the Creator, who also rules Rohini. This gives Mula a more creative energy. Mula means root. It gives the root of progeny or strong creative powers, somewhat like Rohini.
In the negative sense in the Vedas, Mula ruled by Nirriti takes away the root of one’s progeny or causes the loss of one’s first child."
~~ David Frawley, Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra
Mula, for females:
"... very little happiness through the life ... due to the secret and destructive thoughts of the native and her proud and stubborn nature.
To understand this is a help. But a determined effort must be made to rectify it. The fault lies entirely within herself, her nature preventing her from being happy in any relationship.
She will have many love affairs and trouble through them. If she marries, she will be unhappy because of her inability to compromise and her husband will die in seven years from the time of the marriage.
She has a weak constitution and her health will be uncertain, due again to the destructive thoughts which she harbors continually."
-- Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 98.

Mula, for males:
"... a shrewd and capable character - an organizer, who is able to handle people and make them serve his needs through tact and diplomacy. A politician.
An orator who is capable of swaying his audiences yet who is not sincere but may even be unfaithful to his constituents and ungrateful and unappreciative of favors received if the occasion arises.
The type of person who, while one is still in his presence, holds one spellbound; but who when he leaves, also leaves a lurking distrust behind him. Extremely clever and capable."
- Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 86.

General Description of Mula characteristics
General
General results Or being born in Mula Nakshatra:
1. Physical features: You have a good physical appearance. You will have beautiful limbs and bright eyes. You will be the most attractive person in your family.
2. Character and general events: You possess a very sweet nature & are a peace loving person. You have set principles in your life. You can stand against any adverse tidal wave, you have the capacity to penetrate that wave & reach the destination. You are not bothered about tomorrow nor are you very serious about your own matters. You keep all the happenings in the hands of God & become prey to optimism.
3. Education, sources of earning/profession: You need to be very cautious of recording your finances or you will find yourself in debt. You may give advice that you may not even use. This peculiar characteristic generally fits you for the profession of financial advisor or religious advice. Since you are skilled in several fields there will be frequent changes of profession or trade but stability in this direction seems to be a very rare phenomenon, this may put you in constant need of money. Watch the tendency to spend too much on your friends. You will possess the utmost sincerity in all you do. You may earn your livelihood in a foreign place, where it is indicated that you will have much more success in business. You are capable of shining in all walks of life, particularly in the field of fine arts, as a writer & in the social work.
4. Family life Excepting a few cases, it is seen that Mula born cannot have any benefit from parents whereas they are self-made. Your married life will be satisfactory. You will have a spouse with all adequate qualities.
5. Health: Even when you are sick you will look well. You may not in the habit of taking care of your own health. With the result, some severe health problems can be noticed in your 27th, 31st, 44th, 48th, 56th and 60th age.
You must try not to have any association with intoxication as you may suffer from the grips of addiction. When the Mula Nakshatra rises great relief is felt in lingering diseases.

and
a boy or girl born in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th quarter of Moola nakshatra becomes the destroyer (cause of death) of his/her father-in-law.
Therefore, suitable measures, as may be possible within one's means, should be taken at the time of the marriage of such boys and girls. There will be no evil effect if the husband has no elder brothers."

Barbara Pijan Lama viewpoint on Mula Nakshatra:
"Mula" ("the root") causes unusually self-destructive psychic and spiritualized reasoning patterns.
Mula natives suffer more than their fair share of accidents, indignities, and loss. Yet Mula folk typically remain surprised and bewildered about the roots of their condition. The chain of repeating misfortune is a mystery to them. How this pattern could be anything else than a strange and magical series of random, terrible accidents?
Indeed there is no random accident. Yet it is the rare Mula native who can discern the Root of the problem!
The Galactic Sun
Mula influence suggests that a part of one's divine consciousness still harkens back to a previous incarnation, not in Earth, but in the territory of the Galactic Sun.
In between Earth incarnations (which are rather demanding although quite desirable for karmic purposes) our souls may take intermediary "incarnations" (which is rather a misnomer because only in Earth do we get these famous "meat-bodies"!). One of the potential locales for a "stop-over" lifetime is the realm of the Galactic Sun.
This brilliant star is the center of our galaxy and it is a wonderful place in many ways. If one has the privilege to linger there, one becomes more god-like for the duration of one's stay.
The "physical" body form is long-lived while in this realm; stupendously strong, alert and perceptive but not suspicious (suspiciousness is a component of the animal bodies we utilize here in Earth); and glamorously attractive as only the gods can be.
The consciousness here is much closer to the core of divine intelligence and Con-fidence runs very high. Of course, ego runs pretty high too, and there are social issues of competition for attention and dominance, proportional to godly life - on a large scale!
Returning to Earth, one has only the barest background memory, never fully conscious, of this previous incarnational experience. The lingering subconscious memories do however cause trouble for anyone with graha in Mula nakshatra, particularly Chandra in any of the Mula pada (see Shil Ponde's description of the Mula quarters, above.)
The graha trouble is worst when Chandra (Moon) occupies Mula, but a strong Sun in Mula will also show some effects. Essentially, the native takes crazy risks, believing that the risks have much less destructive potential than they really do have for humans.
Mula is associated with catastrophic events and failures after taking too-big risks.
The reason Mula has the self-destructive ID is that, due to Mula memories, one subconsciously believes one has the ability, the strength, the determination, or the intelligence to overcome the obstacles which others rightly fear -- or survive the risk.
Mula measurements in all departments of life - but especially the emotional areas - tend to be flawed. The Mula issues will depend on which graha and which domain. Read an example of a very strong and influential Mula Moon in Gajakesari Yoga, as this graha wields heavy influence in one man's life.
The Mula mind tends toward overestimation of human capabilities, and the results are often catastrophic. However Mula generally gives a happy attitude of bewilderment, rather than resentment or guilt.
Mula reasoning produces very sensible conclusions for a god or one with a god-like body and god-like access to divine rejuvenating powers. But we puny humans are much more vulnerable to forces of Earth Nature and the backlash of human social punishment than we sometimes appreciate. Mula memories signal to the native that one can "beat the system" through one's (super) natural endowment and the power of Faith.
Ketu-ruled Mula is all about Keeping One's Own Counsel, and Intuitive Faith - gone awry!
