What is Gand Mool Nakshatra, its Effects, and Remedies?

The Gand Mool Nakshatra is one of the 27 Nakshatras that is ruled by Ketu and Mercury. Presence of Nakshatra in kundli affects the life journey in both positive and negative ways.  

In Gand Mool Nakshatra, ‘Gand’ or ‘Gant’ or ‘Gandu’ in Sanskrit means Knot or joints and ‘Mool’ means root. So, if there is Gand Mool Dosha in kundli, this means that two Rashis and two Nakshatras are meeting in the Kundli at the same time.
