Mūla - The Penetrating One

Mūla means 'root', referring to our cosmic roots; the centre of our Galaxy which is seen from our vantage point through this sign. It also represents our roots individually, our family roots, as well as collectively as a species on Earth. Mūla represents our ability to get to the root of something and is symbolized by a bunch of roots. It is ruled by the goddess of destruction, showing a need to destroy anything that stands in the way of truth. ​

When the Moon transits Mūla it is good time for planting, surgery, and healing.
