| 1 | ये Ye | Sagittarius | Aries |

Mula nature
Investigative and intense, getting to the root of things. Life may uproot you so that you rebuild on deeper foundations.
Rakshasa gana natives are said to be strong-willed, independent and fearless; the name describes intensity, not bad character.
Dasha at birth
Born with the Moon in Mula, your Vimshottari dasha begins with Ketu, whose full period is 7 years. How much of it is left at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra.
In Kundli matching
Gana, yoni and nadi come from the nakshatra and count for 6, 4 and 8 of the 36 points in Ashtakoota matching. The same nadi for both partners is the one traditionally avoided.
Name letters follow the traditional Avakahada chakra. Spellings of a few letters vary between regions.
