In Vedic astrology, the Moon is the most sensitive planet because it governs the mind, emotions, blood, sleep, mental balance, and overall psychological health. When the Moon becomes afflicted by malefic planets or forms negative yogas, it directly affects both mental and physical well-being.

The Moon controls the manas (mind) and the fluid system of the body. So any disturbance to the Moon results in disease, emotional imbalance, and stress-related health issues.

Below are the major bad yogas causing diseases when the Moon is afflicted in a birth chart.

1. Moon with Saturn — “Depression Yog”

How it forms:

Moon conjunct Saturn or Moon heavily aspected by Saturn.

Symptoms & Effects:

  • Chronic sadness

  • Depression tendencies

  • Emotional heaviness

  • Loneliness

  • Feeling unsupported

  • Childhood trauma or strict upbringing

  • Cold relationships with mother

  • Sleep issues

Saturn restricts the Moon’s nourishment, creating emotional dryness and long-term mental stress.

2. Moon with Rahu — “Mental Illness Yog”

How it forms:

Moon + Rahu conjunction (Grahan Yog) or strong Rahu aspect on Moon.

Symptoms & Effects:

  • Anxiety

  • Overthinking

  • Panic attacks

  • Obsessive thoughts

  • Illusions or confusion

  • Psychological disorders

  • Addiction tendencies

  • Sudden mood swings

Rahu clouds the mind, causing emotional instability and unpredictable psychological patterns.

3. Moon with Ketu — “Emotional Detachment Disorders”

How it forms:

Moon + Ketu conjunction or Ketu’s strong influence on Moon.

Symptoms & Effects:

  • Emotional numbness

  • Detachment from relationships

  • Disinterest in worldly life

  • Inability to express feelings

  • Sudden emotional shutdown

  • Loneliness in spite of relationships

Ketu dissolves emotional attachment, making the mind detached but unstable.

4. Moon with Mars — “Blood & Anger Disease Yog”

How it forms:

Moon conjunct Mars or Mars aggressively aspecting the Moon.

Symptoms & Effects:

  • Anger issues

  • Emotional impulsiveness

  • Blood pressure problems

  • Stress-related headaches

  • Skin and blood disorders

  • Irritation and impatience

  • Aggressive emotional reactions

Mars heats the Moon’s watery nature, creating internal conflict and blood-related ailments.

5. Moon with Mercury — “Nervous Breakdown Yog”

How it forms:

Moon + Mercury conjunction or Mercury dominating the Moon.

Symptoms & Effects:

  • Over-analysis

  • Nervousness

  • Fear-based thinking

  • Restless mind

  • Concentration issues

  • Mental fatigue

  • Weak decision-making

  • Mood fluctuations

Moon-Mercury combinations create mental anxiety because the emotional and logical minds clash.

6. Moon with Venus — “Addiction & Pleasure Disorder Yog”

How it forms:

Moon + Venus conjunction or Venus influencing an already weak Moon.

Symptoms & Effects:

  • Addiction to alcohol or substances

  • Over-indulgence in pleasures

  • Relationship dependency

  • Escapism tendencies

  • Over-sensitivity

  • Fantasy-driven thinking

  • Pleasure-seeking behavior

Moon-Venus drive emotions toward excessive pleasure, often harming mental balance.

7. Moon with Sun — “Amavasya Dosha”

How it forms:

Moon within 12° of the Sun (New Moon condition).

Symptoms & Effects:

  • Low confidence

  • Emotional weakness

  • Lack of clarity

  • Identity crisis

  • Weak willpower

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Difficulty expressing emotions

Amavasya Dosha weakens the Moon’s light, reducing mental stability and vitality.

8. Moon Under Malefic Aspect — General Disease-Causing Affliction

Malefics: Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu, and sometimes Sun

Symptoms & Effects:

  • Stress

  • Sleep issues

  • Emotional instability

  • Weak immunity

  • Chronic diseases

  • Mood disorders

  • Hormonal imbalance

  • Anxiety-related ailments

Even a single powerful malefic aspect can create long-term mental and physical challenges.

9. Multiple Afflicted Moon Combinations — High Disease Risk

If the Moon suffers from two or more afflictions, disease potential increases greatly.

Examples:

  • Moon + Saturn + Rahu → Depression + hallucination tendencies

  • Moon + Mars + Rahu → Anger + anxiety + blood pressure issues

  • Moon + Sun + Saturn → Low confidence + depression + chronic fatigue

  • Moon hemmed between malefics (Paap Kartari Yoga) → Mental and emotional suffering

The Moon is strongest when peaceful. Any malefic combination disturbs the mind, which then affects the whole body.

Why Moon Afflictions Cause Disease?

Because Moon controls:

  • Mind and emotional balance

  • Hormonal functioning

  • Blood and water element

  • Sleep cycle

  • Stress response

  • Digestive nervous system

  • Psychological patterns

If the Moon is unstable, the entire mind-body system starts malfunctioning.

Daily Lifestyle Remedies:

  • Sleep early

  • Reduce mental stress

  • Stay near water bodies

The Moon is the root of mental and emotional stability. When it is afflicted, diseases arise. When it is strong, peace and health follow naturally.
