The Moon (Chandra) represents the mind, emotions, mother, and mental peace in Vedic astrology. It governs our thoughts, intuition, and emotional well-being. When the Moon is debilitated, it becomes weak and struggles to express its natural significations. The Moon is considered debilitated in the sign of Scorpio (Vrishchik Rashi), which can create emotional turbulence and instability in a person's life.
General Effects of Debilitated Moon
Emotional Instability: The native may experience frequent mood swings, anxiety, or depression.
Lack of Mental Peace: A weak Moon can cause restlessness, mental confusion, and disturbed sleep.
Troubled Relationship with Mother: The relationship with the mother may be strained, or the mother may face health issues.
Lack of Emotional Support: The native may feel emotionally isolated or struggle to express feelings.
Fear and Insecurity: Debilitated Moon can create irrational fears, phobias, and a constant sense of insecurity.
Debilitated Moon in Different Houses
1st House: The native may have a weak personality, emotional instability, and lack of self-confidence.
4th House: Troubled domestic life, lack of happiness at home, or disputes with mother.
7th House: Emotional dependency on spouse, unstable marriage, or conflicts in relationships.
10th House: Mental stress at the workplace, lack of satisfaction in career.

Positive Aspects of Debilitated Moon
If the debilitated Moon is receiving aspects from benefic planets like Jupiter or is exalted in the Navamsa chart, it can bring deep emotional understanding, intuition, and spiritual inclination.
