Mula

Mula is the root — both the foundation and the unraveler. Ruled by Ketu and guided by Nirriti, the goddess of dissolution, Mula has the power to go to the root of any matter and pull it into the light. Mula natives are truth-seekers who cannot abide superficiality. They have immense depth and a gift for transformation. The shadow is the tendency to uproot everything, including what was stable. Learning to rebuild is the journey.
