What Is Chandra Dosha (Moon Trouble) – Meaning, Effects And Remedies
Chandra Dosha: As per astrology the Moon controls our emotions and feelings. If the moon is strong in the birth chart, then we will feel happy, peaceful and balanced. If the moon is weak or troubled, then it created Chandra Dosha (moon Trouble). It happens when the Moon is weak, alone, or under bad influence in your horoscope. This is due to:
- Moon is with Rahu (Grahan Dosha or Chandra Grahan Yoga)
- Moon is placed with Saturn, Ketu, or Mars
- Moon is in enemy sign or debilitated (weakened)
- No planets on both sides of the Moon (Kemadruma Yoga)
When these things happen, the Moon can’t give good results. Your mind, mood, and emotions may start acting in strange or unhealthy ways.
Effects of Chandra Dosha
When someone has Chandra Dosha in their chart, they may face the problems like
- Emotional ups and downs – one moment happy, next moment sad
- Anxiety, stress, or depression for small things
- Overthinking or fear without reason
- Sleep problems or nightmares
- Loneliness or feeling nobody understands you
- Poor memory or decision-making
- Sometimes, it also affects relationships and studies
People with Chandra Dosha usually feel like their mind is not calm, and they carry too many thoughts all the time.
Who Gets Affected Most?
Chandra Dosha can affect anyone, but especially:
- People born on a Monday
- People whose Moon sign is Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces
- People with weak Moon in 6th, 8th, or 12th house
Girls and women may feel it even more strongly, as the Moon also rules their emotions and hormones.
Simple Remedies
Some of the easy astrological remedies to calm the Moon and remove the Dosha:
- Chant Moon Mantra – Say “Om Chandraya Namah” 108 times every Monday morning. It brings peace to the mind.
- Donate White Items – Give white rice, milk, sugar, or white clothes to poor people on Mondays.
- Drink Water in Silver Glass – This balances the Moon’s energy. If possible, also wear a silver ring.
- Keep a Moon Yantra or Chandra Yantra – Place it in your home temple or study area for mental peace.
- Feed Cows or Offer Water to Moon at Night – Look at the Moon on a clear night and offer water or just pray. It helps clear the mind.
