That question haunted a 32-year-old architect from Delhi. Everything should have been perfect. A stable career. A supportive family. A partner who adored her. But something felt… off. Restless nights. Emotional waves she couldn’t ride. A quiet emptiness, like the soul was crying in a room no one else could hear.
When she visited Pt. Pawan Kaushik on a friend’s recommendation, she expected the usual: generic predictions, maybe a gemstone or two. But what he saw in her kundali was far deeper.
“You’re under the influence of Chandra Dosh,” he said, his voice calm yet assured. She blinked. “Chandra… what?”
That was the beginning of a journey not just to understand her stars, but to reclaim her emotional power.
And today, if you’ve ever felt like Radhika — emotionally overwhelmed, anxious without reason, or disconnected despite having everything — this could be the story your soul’s been waiting to read.
What is Chandra Dosh in Kundali? A Gentle, Yet Deeply Impactful Shadow
In Vedic astrology, Chandra represents the Moon — the celestial ruler of your mind, emotions, and motherly energy. When the Moon is afflicted in your kundali (birth chart) — often due to malefic planets like Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn — it creates what’s known as Chandra Dosh.But this isn’t just a planetary hiccup. It’s the kind of placement that tugs at your heart’s strings until you listen.
How Does Chandra Dosh Manifest in Daily Life?
Let’s get real. Most people don’t go around thinking, “Hmm, I think I have Chandra Dosh.”Instead, they experience:
- Unexplained mood swings
- Difficulty forming or maintaining emotional bonds
- A sense of emotional fragility
- Overthinking and sleeplessness
- Disconnection from maternal figures
- A chronic feeling of being “lost,” especially in relationships

The Astrological Mechanics Behind Chandra Dosh
So, what actually causes it?Affliction of the Moon by Malefic Planets
When Saturn (Shani), Rahu, Ketu, or Mars aspects or conjoins the Moon in your chart, the Moon’s nurturing influence gets distorted. Think of it as a warm mother being overshadowed by a cold, distant force.
Moon in the 6th, 8th, or 12th Houses
These houses often represent struggle, loss, and subconscious fears. If your Moon falls here, especially with no benefic aspects, emotional imbalance becomes almost karmic.
Weak Moon in Navamsa
Even if the main chart seems fine, a weak or afflicted Moon in the Navamsa (D9 divisional chart) can reinforce Chandra Dosh traits.
But here’s the beautiful part — even if your stars are shadowed, your destiny isn’t.
And that’s where Chandra Dosh remedies come into play.
Chandra Dosh Remedies: Calming the Storm Inside
Healing Chandra Dosh is like tending to a deeply wounded inner child. It requires gentleness, consistency, and yes — the wisdom of ancient astrology.Strengthen the Moon Through Rituals
- Chandra mantra: Recite “Om Chandraya Namah” 108 times every Monday.
- Fasting on Mondays: Especially effective when done with emotional intention.
- Offer milk or white rice to the Moon god (Chandra Dev) during Purnima (full moon).
- Wearing a natural pearl set in silver on the little finger (Monday morning during Shukla Paksha) can soothe the mind and enhance lunar energy. But consult an expert before wearing any gemstone — always.
- Donating white items like rice, milk, or silver to women or motherly figures on Mondays helps balance the karma linked to the Moon.
