Please do write more about Moola nakshatra. While Moola moon can give arrogance, does it give more arrogance in general than Poorva Phalguni, for example? Or more stubbornness than Satabhisha?
Moola Moon is considered more self-destructive due to Ketu and Nritti influence than being harmful for others. Is that why Jyesta Moon is better than Moola Moon?
Dear violet
Lets try to understand why Moola nakshatra gives such a harsh character even though Ketu is supposed to give detachment. Its like an unqualified person working at nasa as a design engineer, it can be too much for him. So Moon or Mercury who are quite incapable of digesting the sign of sagittarius fall easy prey to the doshas carried by Moola nakshatra, they start to behave abnormally.
Imagine you are not at home but some kids break in and tinker with your belongings...that kind of behavior is what they had written in the classics about each nakshatra.
In the southern derivation of Vedic astrology, there are 3 categories of stars
1. Ashwini to Poorvaphalguni - Bala nakshatras
2. Uttaraphalguni to Poorvashada - Yuva nakshatras
3. Uttarashada to Revati - Vriddha nakshatras
Every star brings some doshas but many of these doshas gets washed away overtime depending on the chart. Moon gets better overtime, so at birth our mind is still underdeveloped but as we grow you can see its true potential. Similarly, the doshas bought by moon gets diminished as we get mentally mature.
People born in first category - fall prey to Bala graha doshas, these are some of the nastiest kids in the world. So such natives require proper parental supervision until they reach their adulthood. They acquire sarpa doshas or curses easily, they also fight, steal, scream...do all sorts of crazy things. But many of these doshas gets washed away if the chart is strong - simple remedies or shukla paksha birth will be enough for them. But again there is an exception, remedies or paksha bala doesn't apply to Ashlesha births because the constellation itself is in a bad region.
So, Poorva Phalguni may have doshas but they get diminished overtime.
For Yuva nakshatra category- they carry doshas until they reach 25-30 years. Many of these doshas are related to "adjusting to others" - they are more like activists who display unique and strange behaviors, but as soon as these natives get a job or get married they'll shift their priorities to other things in life. So jyesta being what it is, will slowly recover from the intoxication of "Soma" which happens to be the favorite drink of Lord Indra. But unfortunately Moola natives can't fully recover from their default doshas, they remain the same forever.
Vriddha nakshatras require constant propitiation for them to remain normal, the frequency of these remedies depends on the strength of Saturn and Jupiter...but it is usually 6 months to 1 year.
How does the friendship between Moon and Jupiter, and Jupiter having Moon's sign as exaltation play in to this?
If Jupiter is the trinal lord it can do well but Moon still carries doshas when it transits Moola.
So its important to understand there are certain regions in the zodiac which can be troublesome. Moola is the 'Sagittarius A star' which is near the black hole at the center of the milky way- so you can get an idea of how strong it is. Our sages without any telescopes or radio astronomy already knew Moola nakshatra is at the milky way center and out of which all other stars had evolved.
