The Moon (Chandra) is considered the mind (manas), the emotions, and the fluid systems of the body. It governs mental stability, hormonal rhythms, and the body's water content. When the Moon is afflicted—especially by malefics like Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn—it can create emotional instability and a range of physical ailments related to water retention, cooling functions, and internal purification systems.
Let’s explore the key diseases and disorders caused by a weak or afflicted Moon in a birth chart.
1. Urinary Problems and Infections
Moon governs body fluids, and when afflicted, it can disrupt the healthy flow and filtration of fluids through the urinary system. This can lead to:
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Frequent urination or burning sensation
Retention of toxins due to poor bladder or kidney function
Such issues may arise more during the Moon's Mahadasha or unfavorable transit, particularly if the Moon is in dusthana houses (6th, 8th, or 12th).
2. Reproductive Problems
Although Venus rules reproduction primarily, the Moon also plays a key supporting role—especially in fertility, menstrual cycles, and pregnancy. When afflicted, it may cause:
Irregular menstrual cycles
Hormonal imbalances
Difficulties in conception or sustaining pregnancy
This is especially true for women, where the Moon governs motherly functions and nurturing energy in the body.
3. Kidney Disorders Including Kidney Stones
The kidneys regulate body fluids and purification—both functions tied closely to the Moon’s influence. A weak or malefic Moon can manifest as:
Water retention or bloating
Kidney stones
Chronic kidney disorders
These conditions indicate an inability to purify both physically and emotionally, as the Moon also governs subconscious emotional storage.
4. Frequent Cold, Cough, and Respiratory Sensitivity
The Moon is a cold and moist planet, which when imbalanced, may reduce immunity to seasonal changes. This results in:
Chronic cold and cough
Sinus congestion
Respiratory sensitivity or allergic reactions
Moon-afflicted natives often find themselves falling ill during full moons, eclipses, or changes in weather due to their sensitive constitution.
Final Thoughts
The Moon is the controller of the mind and all body fluids. When afflicted, it causes not just physical discomfort, but emotional instability, excessive fear, and mood swings. Many Moon-related diseases are psychosomatic in nature—originating from emotional disturbance and manifesting in the body.
To strengthen the Moon, Vedic remedies include:
Chanting Chandra Beej Mantra
Fasting on Mondays
Drinking water kept in a silver vessel
Practicing emotional regulation through meditation and journaling
