Dhatu refers to metals and is associated with the materialistic influences and properties of the planets in a birth chart. The planets like Rahu, Mars, Saturn, and the Moon are connected to Dhatu, which shows their influence on material possessions, wealth, and physical resources. These planetary influences can provide insights into a native’s financial prospects, career choices, and overall material well-being.Mool is connected with the roots and the self, while Jeeva is connected to relationships and living beings.
The 3 fundamental classification of the material world is the dead/minerals called DHATU…..the living/plant kingdom called MULA…the living animal kingdom or JEEVA… Accordingly, the grahas, rashis and nakshatras can also be grouped and classified and tagged with one of these 3 fundamental classifications. For example, the movable signs are DHATU, fixed signs are MULA and Dual signs are JIVA…
Dhatu(mineral): aries,cancer,libra and Makara
moola(vegetable) taurus,leo,scorpio and rhumba
jeeva(life) gemeni,virgo,dhanus and Meena.
Similarly, Nakshatras also..are grouped into 3 groups of 9 Nakshatras starting from Ashwini-Dhatu, Bharani Mula and so on…So are the planets..owners of dual signs budha and brihaspati are said to be significators of plant kingdom and animal kingdom…both budha and jupiter are hence called jeevtatwakarak and are forms of vishnu. Gems are non living and takes some time to be effective but with a stronger effect…dhatu category. Mula category are the roots and other parts of tree
