Reading Mula
Mula — presided by Nirriti, symbol "Tied roots", ruled by Ketu. The temperament is a rakshasa (fierce) temperament — intense, self-willed and unconventional with a Vata (airy) constitution — quick, mobile and creative, and a loyal and protective instinct (Dog yoni). The Ketu lordship lends detachment, spirituality, past-life skills, liberation and intuition. Energies here favour sharp works (discipline, focus, severance).
