Mula - Ascendant Nakshatra Life Pattern

Please refer to the introductory article here – https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/AscendantNakshatraandLifePattern to understand the theme and purpose of this series.


So, now we will try to understand that what will happen if Moola Nakshatra is someone’s Ascendant Nakshatra and how it is going to impact the life pattern of person.


So, let’s cover this article under the following points –


Ascendant Nakshatra – There is something called the Ascendant Nakshatra. It is based on the degree of Ascendant (please find introduction of all the Nakshatras here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/intronaksh)


If Ascendant shows the life path then Ascendant Nakshatra will show the pattern of life. It shows the activities we follow throughout life as pattern.


Moola - Moola Nakshatra is from 0.00 degree to 13.20 degree of Sagittarius. So, Moola Nakshatra is in front of Ardra Nakshatra from 6.40 degree to 13.20 degree of Sagittarius. It is a nakshatra of research, digging deep and knowing the hidden truth of things and people in life. For more information on Moola Nakshatra, please read this - https://www.astrosaxena.com/Moolnaksh .


Effect of Moola Nakshatra as Ascendant Nakshatra – Research work and digging deep is important trait of Moola Nakshatra always. Besides that Moola shows abrupt uprooting and painful karmic relationships in life. This nakshatra shows professions like construction or agriculture but it can also indicate events like accidents and surgeries. In its highest representation, it represents spiritual evolution through traumatic events. So, these are important traits or characteristics of Moola Nakshatra.


Ascendant Nakshatra Lord’s Position – Now, as ascendant shows our life path and ascendant lord’s position in chart shows the direction of life path; likewise, ascendant nakshatra shows our life pattern and position of ascendant nakshatra lord in chart shows that in which area of life, the life pattern will be exhibited.


Like, we have discussed all above traits and characteristics of Moola Nakshatra which (any of them) can become Life Pattern for someone if it is person’s ascendant nakshatra. Now, in whichever House/Sign Moola lord Ketu is placed in a Sagittarius Ascendant's chart, person may get Moola’s and Ketu’s results as life pattern. Additionally, person’s life pattern involving aforementioned activities can be exhibited from the house/sign wherever Ketu is placed in chart.


Here, going through Ketu’s position in each house/sign can be repetitive or monotonous. So, for understanding the end result, we can rely on the Concept of Who, How, What & Where - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/whww.


“Where” is the House where event is happening.


“What” is the Sign which is indicating towards event.


“Who” is the Planet who is bringing the event; and


“How” is the quality of event which depends on nature and dignity of planet.


For example, Ketu in 4th house/Pisces shows that person can feel a sense of separation (either physical or mental) from Mother or Home Environment. This also shows some major changes which involves Self, Mome or Mother can bring a major transformation in life for native. This position can lead native to go away from home land. These major changes can also bring spiritual evolution to person as they may realize that someone else is running the show. For home life, this is a difficult position but for spiritual life, it can be a very good position.


Whereas Ketu in 12th house/Scorpio shows that a transformative event in life can take the person away from their birth place to far distant lands. It can also indicate that major change in life can bring interests like Occult, Spirituality or Psychology etc. They can be excellent at any research oriented work which can include surgeries too. This also shows a very good situation for a person who is seeking spiritual evolution but personal life can go through major changes.


Final example, Ketu in 9th house/Leo can show that major changes and transformations can take place in person’s belief system. It can also show a Teacher or a Guru can bring major change in belief system and life. Person can still be very good with research oriented subjects but can have serious issues with authority figures. They can also have some weird and unconventional belief system. At the same time, they should be careful against accidents and sudden events.


Like this, we can understand about how and where the ascendant nakshatra lord is exhibiting the results of life pattern. In further articles of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern, I will cover other house/sign positions which would help us in learning interpretation of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern in a more holistic way.


Dignity –As I said, with malefic planets like Saturn and Ketu, dignity doesn’t matter really. So, we cannot decide the probable results with dignity here but we can say that as Ketu is involved, a certain disappointment or separation in life can be a factor which takes the person towards these activities. But we can apply the rule of Jeeva Karaka and Ajeeva Karaka which can tell us where or towards whom the native may have this feeling of isolation/separation.


Conclusion – As I understand, this is how we can understand as to how ascendant nakshatra can setup the life pattern for people with Moola Nakshatra as the Ascendant Nakshatra.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
