ABSTRACT
According to the Nakshastra Namawali the 19th one is Moola and its cluster of Stars are divided in to nine parts for the nine planets. The meaning of
the word Moola is root and its symbol is apportioned by the Rishis is a clump of roots which denotes some restricted actions, as root has its
limitation to go or the motion is finite. Most of the Moolam natives are self-made, without having any monitory support from the parents, but may
have unexpected progress after the marriage. They are truthful, humble and earnest in the society with an inquisitorial mind to explore the truth and
the root and lead a snooping religious life. They are loved by many opposite sex, but fail in sexual satisfaction. Meanwhile there is a customary
belief available among the people that Moola is much maligned in nature especially in marriage related activities. The bride hail from Moola will
be injurious to her Mother-in -Law first and secondly the husband's younger brother, thirdly the elder brother and finally her Father in Law. Some of
the narrators are of opinion that when it come as a beginning point of birth star, will make bad results for the relation of the life partner and same
result have been attributed to the male also. As per fundamental texts,those who are undergoing NakshstaraSandhi (Meeting position of two Stars)
of some Nakshastras at the birth are harmful either to the family members or the partner.

personal attachment and self-realization. Accordingly the resentment
and betrayal becomes common. Knwoing the dafaults and ups and
downs attributed in the horoscope, Moola natives can tide over the

Shanti, Shanti Pooja, chanting, offerigs, submission and prayers will
bestow all the benedictions at the time of malific star efects. The
ultimate requirement warranted is to know the causes and effects in the
correct time to adopt vedic remedies to safeguard the life of the natives.
