Ganda Mool Nakshatra - Analysis and Shanti

Acharya Ram Hari Sharma

According to the Indian Vedic Astrology, Nakshtras are the important part of our lives.  Indian Vedic Astrology considers Nakshtra (in which we are born) to be the one of most important aspects of our lives. There are 27 Nakshtras in the zodiac. All the Nakshtras affect human lives as per their astrological importance.

The Nakshtra, in which Moon is placed at the time of birth, is called Janma Nakshtra (Birth Star). Janma Nakshtra has a great significance in our lives. Therefore it is very important to know the effects of Nakstras on the different aspects of the life like health, wealth, prosperity etc. In general, there are detailed studies on Nakshtras are available in different astrological books but here; I am writing about the Gand Mool Nakshtra.

What is Gand Mool ?

When a child takes birth, his/her father goes to an Astrologer to find out the astrological details. Astrologer makes the horoscope and tells important things to native’s father. Sometimes Astrologer says that child has taken birth in Gand Mool Nakshtra. What is this Gand Mool? 

As we know that there are 27 Nakshtra in total. Out of these six Nakshtra ruled by Mercury and Ketu are called Gand Mool Nakshtras. They are 1. Aswani 2. Jyestha 3. Magha 4. Ashlesha 5. Moola and 6. Revati. If the natal Moon in the horoscope of a child is in one of these Nakshatras, the child is said to be born in Gand Mool Nakshatras. According to many astrologers and astrological books the child born in these Nakshtra is inauspicious. They suggest the Shanti Prayog of the Nakshtra after 27 day when same Nakstra repeats.

Effects of Moola Nakshtra

Every Nakshatra has four parts (Charan). These are nothing but the four equal time periods of the Nakshtra that can be easily calculated by dividing the full time period of a Nakshtra by four. There are different effects of these Nakshtras part-wise on the natives, the following table shows it

Some astrologers say that Gand Moola is an Astrological myth. I do not agree with them. In my experience I found that native suffered with the health problems in his childhood if he took birth in these Nakshtras. If a native of Gand Moola Nakshtra survives, he is found to be more intelligent compared to other children. We have examples of Saint Tulasidas and Saint Kabir. In addition to this, I have experience of analyzing the horoscopes of Many Gand Moola born Natives where I found that if there is any Aristi (Danger to life) in horoscope like Pataki Aristi then native’s Aristi is further intensified by the Gand Moola Nakstra.
