Nakshatra – Moola

Widely known as a small constellation of stars, Nakshatras in Vedic Astrology have obtained a unique position. Known as Lunar Mansions in the western world, Nakshatras are specifically used for predictions. In addition to this, there is also a mention of Nakshatra in the ancient Astro-scripts. Moola nakshatra is associated with the end of life, a precursor to the new beginning. It is also known as the root or the base. As we know that no plant can nourish without the presence of root, in the same way, favourably every happening in the world is associated with some reason.
