Related Topics:Astrological remediesBirth Chart AnalysisPlanetary influences

In Vedic astrology, the Gand Mool Dosha is considered a very inauspicious dosha in the birth chart of any individual. It occurs when the moon is placed in any of the six Gand Mool Nakshatras ‌at the time when an individual is born. The dosha occurs in the birth chart of a native when the moon is present in the following nakshatras: Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshta, Moola, or Revati. The presence of the moon in the aforesaid star constellations is collectively called the Gand Mool Nakshatras, as per Vedic astrology. The Gand Mool Dosha becomes stronger when other important planets in the birth chart are also in an unfavourable position or afflicted.

How Does Cosmic Alignment Create Gandmool Dosha?

The nakshatras that form the Gand Mool dosh—Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshta, Moola, and Revati—are ruled by the planets Mercury and Ketu.

There are 27 nakshatras and the moon stays one day in a nakshatra. When the moon transits from one nakshatra to the next, there are moments when the moon is partly placed in one nakshatra and partly in the other. Gand Mool Dosha will be present in the birth chart of a native if the moon is present in any of the four Padas (divisions) of these nakshatras during his or her time of birth.

Effects of Gand Mool Dosha on Birth Chart

Individuals who are born in the Gand Mool Nakshatra can face continuous problems in life. Even their parents, siblings, and relatives may be affected due to their birth in this nakshatra.

• May have problems with parents and siblings
