What Is Moola Dosha And What Does Vedic Astrology Consider Its Real Meaning

Vedic astrology describes the five limbs of the Panchanga as forces that guide human actions. Among them the lunar mansion holds a unique importance because the position of the Moon at birth reveals the mental nature and the beginning of destiny. Certain lunar mansions are called Moola lunar mansions. A birth during these mansions is known as Moola Dosha. The meaning is not fear. It is a coded message about deep karmic energy.

What Is Moola Dosha

Moola means root. Ancient texts describe some mansions as carriers of root energy. A person born under these currents may face sharp changes or spiritual shifts that shape the journey of life.

Which Nakshatras Form Moola Dosha

• Ashwini
• Ashlesha
• Magha
• Jyeshtha
• Moola
• Revati

Among these Ashlesha Jyeshtha and Moola are described with stronger effects.

Vedic Importance Of Moola Dosha

When the position of Moola aligns with the earth location based on month or ascendant the influence becomes stronger. It may bring temporary pressure on parents or family yet this effect is symbolic of karmic timing not punishment.
