Gandmool or Gandant Nakshatra
In Indian
Vedic astrology 6 stars ( NAKSHATRAS ); Ashwini,
Magha, Moola ( Ketu’s NAKSHATRAS ) & Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati (Mercury’s
NAKSHATRAS ) are called Gand Moola Nakshatras.
To
understand why Gandanta is known to be inauspicious, we need to understand the
creation process. The creation process is cyclical, which starts with the
emergence of creation impetus and ends with dissolution of the whole creation
to nothing-ness. This cycle can be mapped to the four elements of nature in the
oder of Fire, Earth, Air and Water and the whole process of creation and
dissolution happen under the ambit of the Ethery element. In the zodiac the
whole creation process repeats thrice from the beginning of Aries, Leo and
Sagittarius, the three fiery signs.
While
mapping the creation process with the nakshatra scheme of zodiac reckoning, the
three cycles start from Aswini, Magha and Moola. However, before the creation
starts the end of the watery signs namly, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, shows the
dissolution of the creation. Thus the beginning of the mentioned three fiery
signs shows transition from the dissolution phase to creation phase and hence
they represent as three nodes in the zodiac, each starting its own process of
creation. Hence the person born near to these nodes are caught in the process
of transition from destruction of old creation and start of new creation and
hence suffer the burnt of it.
Like the
start of creation is shown by the beginning of Aswini, Magha and Moola, the end
of destruction is represented by Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati, which falls in
the ending part of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Thus the gandanta nakshatras are
these six nakshatras with the 4th pada of last nakstras of watery signs and 1st
pada of first nakstras in the fiery signs. They are the 4th pada of Revati
(Pisces), Ashlesha (Cancer), Jyestha (Scorpio) and the 1st pada of Ashwini
(Aries), Magha (Leo) and Moola (Sagittarius).
Thus the gandanta happens whenever there is a transition from watery element to fiery element. Anyone born during such transition has to suffer the trouble due to this transition and suitable remedy is required to alleviate the troubles

Any dosha in a horoscope is a partial description. All planetray positions, their aspects, lordship with respect to lagna, moon and sun should be analyzed. In addition different strengths of the planets must be computed. So never get scared if you are told your horoscope has one of them..
The remedy
lies in worshipping the Lord of the Lagna/ Moon constellation depending on
whether it is Lagna or Rasi or Thithi gandanta.
This deity becomes the “Devata” who can break the weakness due to Gandanta.
