When you learn astrology, you will be taught to see things from the ascendant sign, the regular birth chart. No one stresses on the importance of the birth Moon chart which, in my opinion, is more significant. Material things are seen from the birth chart but their emotional contexts are from the birth Moon chart. A strong birth Moon chart helps you make sense of the material world in a balanced manner.

Saturn with Moon in the birth chart will have other physical and material interpretations, but in this post I am writing on just the emotional context.

www.psychologicallyastrology.com

Saturn is restriction, fear, dullness, depression, work load, tight schedules, karmic implications, practicality, pragmatism, etc. The negative emotional patterns from past lives which you are required to work on. He creates situations where you pay off your karmic debts and learn life lessons. The Moon is your astral body, your emotional states, intuitive self and your Mind. He allocates energy received from Sun to the other graha. He the fastest graha, Saturn the slowest. Moon at Ajnya chakra, Saturn at Muladhar. Their natures are dissimilar so if they get together they create conflicts.

Saturn aspecting or conjunct your birth Moon is an restrictive combination. All your energy is consumed in rebalancing your karmic debts. Your debts are sitting right in front of your Mind, staring at it, demanding attention and resolution. And the changeable Mind cannot bring itself to focus on this elephant in the room. It tries to change the subject and aggravates its problems. Even if this Saturn is exalted or a benefic for your ascendant or your Moon is exalted or everything is aspected by more benefics, he will oppressively influence your Mind. He will scare you out of your wits on the astral, subconscious, dream, intuitive etc levels, until you decide to resolve the emotional issues he represents. 

Significantly Saturn will not let you trust easily in the parts of life that he controls, because you have been emotionally betrayed several times in your past lives here. You carry the energy of hurt within your astral self and subconsciously expect others to hurt you even now, as the pattern repeats.

And Moon does not let your Saturn work effectively, interferes with his planning and execution process. You tend to leave projects halfway, ie do not have the mental energy to take projects to their logical conclusion. The changeable Moon is too fast for the slow Saturn to handle.

Saturn and Moon both interfere with each other’s mode of functioning. This negative pattern from your past has come to the forefront in this life, so try to resolve it now. If you do not address it this time too, it will repeat in your future lives.

About 33% of the population has this combination ie serious trust issues linked with an inexpressible fear. There are four possible positions, 

  • Saturn Moon together
  • Saturn aspecting Moon with his 3rd aspect ie placed 11th from Moon.
  • Saturn Moon mutual aspect, opposition.
  • Saturn aspecting Moon with his 10th aspect, ie placed 4th from Moon.

Saturn conjunct Moon 

This indicates a severe emotional restriction, you cannot find deep satisfaction in anything. Maintaining active interest for longer periods is difficult, mental tiredness is common. Everything is duty for you, there is no satisfaction. This constrictive energy pervades throughout the astral self/ environment, thus the entire material life is afflicted. The past life connect is that practically everyone betrayed you, so trusting others now is difficult. Also you have not been true to yourself ie have compromised your own integrity for some selfish reason in the past, so now you cannot trust your own self either. You are serious, mature, etc on the outside, but very alone, anxious, worried, afraid, non-confident on the inside. You feel separated from yourself and everyone else in some undefinable way.

Consider the sign and the house counted from the ascendant sign. Eg Virgo can mean a negative impression from a life where you were required to serve, perhaps a servant who was beaten to death, or a wife whose husband did not allow intimacy. Saturn in Scorpio can mean sexual harassment or death during delivery. Saturn in the 12th can mean someone who was never given the time to rest and sleep, overworked to the point of death etc. 

If you get a combination like this in your practice, the personality will at least be willing to work on himself. Saturn’s influence on the Moon makes the Mind more amenable to following schedules etc once convinced. And once the Moon cooperates, the karmic balance will be resolved. This will be easier after both Moon and Saturn mature and during the trigger Dasha and transits.

Saturn Moon in opposition

Saturn’s 7th aspect is detrimental in a different way. The emotional connect with your 7th house, ie your beloved, your mirror, your fill in the blanks, your missing half, your dark half, your connect with your divine Self, the one that you seek the most, your personal spiritual practice and all your one to one partnerships is affected. For most of us, 7th is the loved life partner, so Saturn makes it difficult to trust the spouse. You are scared to do so. Saturn in the 7th is an expectation of separation, hurt, anxiety etc, ie you subconsciously expect your 7th house things to kick you in your face. So you try to cover this fear in several ways, eg being cold or dutiful or overly responsible or try to provide your spouse all material things etc as per your chart’s tendency. Overall very meticulous with these 7th things, you take them seriously. If you trust these things/people, they might betray you on the emotional level. Trusting again, ie opening yourself again emotionally is difficult. 

Emotional betrayal is more intense. This is when you trust someone, do everything that you can think of for him, put this person above yourself etc till one fine day he does/says something that makes you feel that he is not worth it. He may not realise what he has done. But it tears into your soul, your mind cracks and the world turns dark. Saturn in the 7th from the Moon completely drains the energy of your astral personality/ environment. He hits your emotional balance very deeply in a way nothing else can. And even if you continue your relationship, the emotional trust may never come back.

The past life connect is that, you were abandoned by your beloved husband/wife, maybe your husband married another woman, threw you out of the house, your wife died prematurely, your wife was cold to you, in any case, you were all alone. You expected happiness, instead were put in a terrible situation. These emotions of grief, loneliness, abandonment, betrayal, etc hit you severely and remained unresolved in your mind till your physical death. Negative emotions cannot be suppressed nor left unacknowledged. Doing this lets them to enter deep into your astral self. You were deeply tormented, especially on the emotional levels in your past marriages and are scared to risk opening yourself to a loved one again. Thus your Moon Saturn in opposition. Resolving this specific combination can be traumatic. As you start working on yourself, first the full blast of that past negative emotion hits you in its full form. You relive that pain, as if it is happening in the now, this can be very bad phase.

For resolving Saturn birth Moon opposition, first accept that this is a karmic script, you chose this experience in this life to resolve it once and for all. Most likely this current loved one is the same person in all those lives who hurt you in the first place. The two of you are tied by a confusing mix of deep love overlaid by this energy of betrayal. There are two options of resolving this, 

  1. Accept that you will not be able to trust others easily. If you choose this option you will have to give your 7th house things an outlet, ie find some internal emotional balance. Personal spiritual practice will help fill the emotional void that this combination represents. ie try to connect with your higher self within you.
  2. Or learn to let go. Accept that some things are not going to be ideal. Try to see the positive in every situation. ‘Grow up’ emotionally in relationships, tone down your expectations. This too will not be so easy, support from your inner self and personal spiritual practice will be necessary.

One other possibility is that you were an ascetic in your several past lives. You died before achieving Moksh and want to continue your path now. Check for supporting combinations in your current chart. If this option seems right for you then try to actively do some spiritual practice so that you feel more satisfied internally.

In your practice, clients with Saturn Moon opposition will require more counselling than Saturn Moon conjunct. The 7th is after all the bhavat bhavam of, the subtle drain on, the 1st house.

www.psychologicallyastrology.com

Saturn’s extra aspects on Moon

Saturn with his 3rd aspect on the Moon, ie placed 11th from the Moon. Here this is a upchay position, so will improve with age if you address its concerns in time, if not, then upchay will make things worse, here on the emotional front. The emotional context of the 11th house is damaged. You will feel emotionally burdened by your elder siblings, friends, groups, etc trusting them will be difficult, also they may betray you. You carry within you the negative experiences of trusting these people from your past lives, which creates anxiety and fear in these aspects of life. Gains will cause you emotional restriction, ie you will not be able to enjoy the successes that your personality/environment give you. You are emotionally dissatisfied with what you get. All this is in addition to the general restriction that Saturn has on the Mind. 

Saturn with his 10th aspect on the Moon, ie he is placed in the 4th house from the Moon. 4th house things make you uncomfortable. The 4th is the natural house of the Moon, ie Cancer is the natural 4th sign of the zodiac. Any disturbance to the 4th house/sign has an insidious impact on your Moon. So in addition to Saturn’s effect on the Mind, you suffer emotional stress from the agents of the 4th, ie mother, residence, vehicles, landed property etc. Trusting your mother or anyone from your maternal side of the family may be difficult or even not advisable. Your past lives traumatic interactions with these things do not allowed positivity about them in your current life. The 4th from the Moon is the emotional connect with the reason you incarnated yourself in this life. So the most tragic result is that here you question the purpose of your life and often feel low emotionally for no discernible reason.

However this does not mean that you should not trust these specific other people at all. If you have a strong ascendant lord/ sign, Moon has strength, Saturn is favourably placed and there are benefic influences then during the trigger Dasha and transits you can learn to trust. But be alert during the Moon mahadasha – Saturn Antardasha and the Saturn mahadasha – Moon antardasha as there will be some typical challenges during these two subperiods.

Saturn’s position is where you need to work on yourself, face your past karma, it is the road to real maturity. And here we have the emotional context which is more difficult to address. 

www.psychologicallyastrology.com

The solution is to first learn to trust yourself. This line is rather banal, but how do you actually do it? You can refer to self-help books and professionals but basically try to feel happy about yourself.

You can adopt this daily 1 min routine. Look at yourself in the mirror for 1 min and think of something which makes you happy. Your eyes, a favourite jewellery, a quote, a book, a photograph, a feeling, the sun, nature, a perfume, food, person, a mantra. Try to feel happiness as you look at yourself. Next try to carry this warmth within you for the rest of your day. Keep doing this till you start feeling genuinely happier or give it 21days at least. If you are happy about yourself, your issues with trusting yourself and others will gradually resolve.

A general solution to every problem is understanding it, acknowledging it, wanting to get over it and acting to resolve it. In Jyotish there are a few options, but all of them require a strong Dharma trikon. You can resolve issues by,

  • intelligently modulating your behaviour, eg a self-love routine.
  • doing your regular spiritual practice with Soham, Gayatri Mantra, Shri Sukta etc.
  • engaging a Brahmin to do pujas for Graha shanti, ie the specific mantra of that planet is used to balance out its energy in your self/life. 
  • giving the imbalanced energy away, ie Dana. However ‘charity’ is not Daana. You have to give away the mismatched energy to a Consciousness capable of absorbing it

So if you are suffering the energies of betrayal from times past with your Saturn and Moon, do try to resolve things within you so that you can live a more emotionally satisfying life.

(In my post on the 12th house and emotional turmoil, I had mentioned a chart with Saturn 7th from birth Moon and got several requests for more on this combination.)

        Hi there
        one has to observe the person, check the birth chart and navamsha at least, cross reference with the standard texts, compare with other cases in the past. cultural context and common sense.
        and personal pujas are a must.
        i had the advantage of having my dad and grandmothers. i have been doing this since i was a small child .
        plus as i grew older, esp after 36yrs of age, i started remembering my past lives, i have been doing this for such a long time now.
        A Vidya is something very different from a subject that we learn in school.
        Vidya is a conscious thing, it knows what you are doing with it. Respect it and it opens up so many things. And use it for your personal selfishness then its bad karma.
        the only test of a genuine astrologer or diviner is that he will not charge a fee or have rates. (Dakshina is something very different.)
        And he will also clearly refuse to see charts of people who do not hav tht poorvapunya factor. Frankly after some time, by the blessing of the Vidya, you will clearly see this factor just by looking at the person or hearing his name.

      Thank you. Saturn opp Moon in 8th. you shared Exactly of me. My unbelievable traumatic life experiences with those loves ones (anyone that I keep them in my heart) and my excruciating painful inner world I have after what they did to me. My life is upside down since 2013, going through deep transformation and shadow work. It is liberating my soul and leading me to remember those lifetimes as humans and in non human forms. However, I am terribly drained out coz seems to survive here on earth is always like walking through a desert. Understanding the truth of life and people on earth only gives me pain and tears. I wish to end my life earlier since the universe has forced me into Moksha. I used ‘force’ coz its traumatic for any soul to lose everything in her life and nothing as and to love those who hurt her. Here on earth I am unable to control my life now. I understand this is part of returning for the soul. We came alone with nothing and now, the universe is also preparing me with nobody and nothing to return. I am extremely lonely i wish to have my own tribe to shared those deep thoughts yet nobody understands any word I shared. so what the purpose to continue? To continuing this pain to watch the surrounding people projecting their shadow self out to the world and hurting others with or without knowing? To suffer these shadow self hurting me? My life experience has taught me I am a constrast from majority , they are the takers and I was the giver. They are still trying to take from me but I am no longer trusting anyone to give. Whats the meaning of life if I am not to trust anyone? Whats the meaning of life to wake up and to face daily battle with these humans? I wish I could break my promise for what I came here as a human since my first arrival.

        Hi there
        you cannot be ‘forced’ into Moksh.

        Remembering past lives is not a good thing, i have mentioned this several times.
        there is no need to remain stuck in the past. resolve those things and remain in the present moment. if you do not do so, there will be immense trauma.

        i dont know what you mean by ‘shadow work’ but if you are engaging with undesirable entities then you will face trauma.

        purpose of life is Happiness on the deepest levels. this can happen only when you realise your Self in its entirety.
        so do your mantra/ sadhana to gain that deepest Joy which is not dependant on things ‘outside’ you.
        you have to trust your self. not the others outside you. you are the creator of your universe.

        meaning of Life is to play the Game for happiness. there is always happiness around/within you if you look for it.

    Mind is intsru-mental! How should we interpret it if Moon is at 29 degrees (next house is Cancer) and Shani is Retrograde in cancer? Should it be understood that this retrograde Shani is backing up to Moon which is also at this late degree? Many thanks.

        Hi there
        Jyotish is a Vedang, its most apt use is in understanding the Ved,
        Ved are Shruti, they are literally heard in the deeper Dhyan stages. Ved are Apourushiya, not created by humans. Ved are created from Om directly.
        Om is the Moorti of the Advaita
        Jyotish is used properly can lead to the Advaita.
        it is a Para as well as an Apara vidya.

    May I please know what is the best way to help Saturn and Moon to cooperate with one another, when combust Saturn and exalted moon mutually aspect one another for a Cancer ascendant? Does this karmically imply that one is here to find the deepest relationship “within” himself/ herself rather than outside?

    Nakshatra or saura or savana or Chandra?

    Personally I feel Nakshatra is correct as it is Moon’s movement through the mansions that determines dasas.

    Pranaam Madam,
    I express my sincere gratitude for this post, and also your precious comment in Jyotish and Vidya , I was very overwhelmed by emotion. No words to express how beautiful the reply is.

    This is somewhat unrelated to the post: Madam, I was wondering about how certain lands give out bad vibes, and I had read a post on that, hence felt like talking about it.

    I have had the opportunity to travel a little bit (now I feel these journeys were actually karmic) , and certain countries that I had been to gave me a very sick vibe, the place, the feel and of course the people, one such country is in western Europe with a very “famous” capital . It was a long time ago,that I was here, and now I am surprised how people just queue up to “settle abroad”, in even such sick places. I quickly realized the sooner I got out , the better, even though I was materialistic back then and returned.

    I actually felt that the entire land gave out a bad vibe!!! Is it possible Madam? the way of being, the way of thought that always focused on cynicism, and the people here I met said proudly that one has to be sad if one is intelligent, so we are an intelligent country. I was shocked by the arrogance and ignorance, and shocked at how can anyone like being miserable,, and misery be a cultural part of that country in Western Europe.

    I certainly believe one important big city in North India gives out very sick vibes. I just wanted to know how these lands gather such vibes, and how do the astral selves of the people in these places get impacted by the vibes of the place…. and thus the effect on spiritual growth…

    Just felt like sharing this here Madam, and would be grateful to read your valuable thoughts, if possible.

    Best regards and wishes,

      Hi there
      i wrote on Delhi in some post, the energy is hideous. ghosts begging for release.
      sometimes i wish our Bharat had some other city as the capital,
      maybe Ujjain, the capital city of Chakravarti Samrat Bharat. his father Rishabhdev who is revered as the first Tirthankar by the Jain sect also ruled there. Or Kashi, the most auspices city. Or Nagpur the city of the Nags. any of these would be a better choice.

      unnatural deaths of millions of Dharmic people and no Anteyshti of the dead has trapped them here.
      tantric practices involving negative entities
      ie any way in which the higher level negative entities get entry in a particular location.
      Only solution, Devi Ganga’s waters.

      or humans entering in places not meant for them, these places are for other beings but humans entered there for whatever reason. the land does not support them on the astral levels and they become a bit unbalanced. several towns in the Himalay where i live have this ‘not for humans’ vibe

        Dearest Tejaswini,

        I get the same vibe from north India from the peoples as well . I am from Haryana / Punjab side and if we go up the mountains, some areas are not quite right even during the day to be in . It’s an eerie feeling. Even in the cities it’s generally a bad vibe anytime I am there.

        Along this same conversation….

        I don’t have family that will perform my last rights when I am old. I’m still early 30s , No children and no spouse. So what should someone like me do in the event that I die and have nobody to perform my rituals as per scripture?

        Hi there
        you are not married and have no children now but as you are still in your 30s, this option may still be open.

        in case someone dies with no spouse or no children, then the nearest male relative, brother, nephew etc is responsible for the Anteyshti. if no one of this sort then any male from the extended family or even the same gotra can do it

    Hi Mam, I wanted your opinion of my interpretation. My Atmakaraka is Sun and my Amatyakaraka is Saturn. In D1 chart, Sun is in 10th house and Saturn is in 3rd house (if I use Bhava Chalit, Sun goes to 11th house, Saturn to 4th house), which means they are in an uncomfortable 6/8 axis. When I look at my D10 chart, now Sun is in 4th house, and Saturn is in 10th house. This is setting up a conflict between homeland / home / purpose in life, and career, isn’t it? All my life I have avoided settling down, and lived across the world (my Rahu is in 12th house), and I never wanted to return to India. But circumstances and my heart keep forcing me back to India, especially to work on social issues, and I wonder if I should stop fighting it because that’s my (Sun) purpose? Is this more or less correct?

      Hi there
      time always brings about a change in perspective.
      see what suits your heart best. if you feel that its your Dharma do it. if you dont it adds to your pending karma.

      your analysis seems right from the astrology perspective.
      also check the navamsha.

      1. sobhimohanty Avatar

        Thank you 🙂 I checked the navamsha, and my theory seems wrong, as Sun & Saturn are 9/5 away from each other. I’ll have to rethink this, and follow my instinct. Thank you for your guidance!

        9/5 is a good axis, they mutually support each other at the navamsha levels

    Thank you again for another wonderful post! I did not know that the 4th from the Moon is the emotional connect with the reason one incarnates in this life. Thank you for sharing this gem!

    You have mentioned giving away the unbalanced energy ( via daana) as a remedy. I read a case study online once ( so unsure of the accuracy- I hope i am explaining this properly) where a woman who had saturn and moon conjunct (the 7th lord may also have been part of the conjunction as well- I cannot recall now) had to “sacrifice” her relationship with her mother in order for her marriage to work out. I believe it was something like one or the other would suffer so she chose to sacrifice the relationship with her mother, which wasnt a great relationship anyways, to save her marriage/keep her family together.

    Is this possible? And if so, could you share some insight into this concept?

      But u cannot abandon the parents. Tht is negative karma. They gave u life so being fr them esp in medical emergencies or supporting them in daily life is a duty. But Emotional involvement can b reduced if its damaging.
      Eg moon in Dusham or severely afflicted by Saturn, it would help if the person limits the mothers emotional interference in his life. Naturally if he is better balanced emotionally he will b able to live a better life too.

        Thanks for explaining! I understand- this is negative karma.

        I guess i was just wondering if this above scenario is possible where one can let go of one aspect of their life in order to divert the negative energies that might be in the chart and associated with that same house? So in this case- letting go of the mother in order to divert that negative energy instead of it going towards her marriage ( i hope this question makes sense?). Im not at all saying its the correct thing to do but wondering if doing this would actually have solved the problem?

        Hi there
        Could b some chart specific combinations existed
        Eg if moon is in dusham, its best to reduce the emotional influence of the mom in life. Else she will trigger problems

    Dearest Tejaswiniji,

    Thanks very much for this enlightening post🙏🏻 I have 2 questions – 1) That paragraph that you wrote – “However this does not mean that you should not trust these specific other people at all. If you have a strong ascendant lord/ sign…..” – is this part meant for all the Saturn-Moon positions mentioned in this post? Or is it meant for Saturn with his 10th aspect on the Moon?

    2) Regarding Saturn with his 3rd aspect on the Moon – Saturn is in 3rd House & Moon is alone in 5th House swakshetra, therefore strong (& Asc Lord is also strong) and 11th house is Aquarius and empty. Will Saturn restrict having friends/ networks?

    Lots of love and gratitude

      Hi there
      1. Fr all saturn moon combinations

      2. Saturn in 3rd house. Wrote a post.
      11th lord in 3rd. Restrictions but upchay. So work on it, things will get better with age
      Moon aspected results as per the post above.
      Not very satisfying on both physical and emotional levels

    Namaste Respected Madam,

    Thanks for this post especially the significance of 4th from Moon. I have read in many of your earlier posts about Moon in 6th or 8th and its effects on mother-child relationship. After reading the above questions I want to ask if there is anything a mother can do if the child has moon in 6th or 8th. Making a conscious effort to not be too overbearing or excessively and emotionally dominating in the child’s life and to constantly show outward love are two common sense things that the mother can do. The child with Moon in 6th can engage in moon strengthening or balancing activities. Any other suggestions Madam?

    Another questions is about naming based on nakshatra. For a kid with Moon in dushamsthan its better to not use the Moon nakshatra name is what one post said. But the child can do Moon balancing activities right madam?

    Thans again!

      use the index page or the search bar
      written on all these things already.

      of course both the mother and the child can do remedial activities to balance the energies.

    Namaste mam,
    I need your advice on post ‘ketu with lord of ascendant sign’. I also read through ‘ketu conjunct other planets’.

    You have indicated about taking care of physical eyes and nadi. Please guide me on practice to take care of nadi.

    Please guide me on any principles I need to follow, for being an Aries ascendant, with Ketu and Mars in 8th.

      Hi there
      do some exercise which regulates flow of pran in your body, ie self healing, reiki, dhyan, consciously becoming aware of the pran in your body etc. wrote on these small things too. and avoid doing harsh spiritual practices, plus if you ever fall hurt yourself etc, along with repairing the physical body, do self healing for increasing pran flow in the affected parts.

        Namaste mam,
        Yes, after reading you posts, I have started beings Reiki student, I’m in phase-1, it’s only Oct. 10th, that I enrolled in the online class. And I am trying to be a better person. Also, I started the dhyan, from your posts, the only thing I am not following is the dress, I wear the same dress, which I wear for the entire day, is it wrong mam?
        The physic attack, I remeber when I was in my 17th or 18th age and was very much afraid of that ‘being’ in front of me, but now, after reading your posts, when I close my eyes and that ‘being’ comes infront of me, I visualize it as Maa Kali’s form and I make my form too as maa kali and all the things around me as maa kali, there by, out of my fear.

        Please keep your blessing on me to be successful in dhyana. I do have ego, and also speak very harsh and get angered very quick.

        Hi there
        change the dress and wash up a bit before sitting on the asan.

        keep your faith in the Devi, request her to help you.
        i cannot bless anyone, no one can really bless anyone else.
        If your have sharaddha in Devi Kali ask Her blessings.
        or bless yourself, ie have positive intentions for your own self.

    Tejaswini ji,

    Just another quick follow up question on healing. How to find a genuine reiki teacher to initiate us into ?

    It’s a bit hard overseas with not much choice. How do we know someone is a good choice to be initiated by ?

    Will it still work if our teacher is not quite accomplished at reiki ?

    1. astrologerbydefault Avatar

      Hi there
      in Reiki, there is enormous confusion. with these new ‘variants’ cropping up.

      the original Reiki as taught by Mikao Usui, Dr Hayashi and Madam Takata is the only one that is genuine.
      Madam Takata is the main teacher of every Reiki teacher outside Japan. If you find someone who has studied as per her teachings then its the real thing.

      you do not get ‘accomplished’ in Reiki.
      there are just the main 4 symbols which are ‘given’ by the teacher to the student. the thing is that the person should know how to do it. it is a process.
      i have seen a few ‘teachers’ who do not know or are confused about the process.
      and as there is no tangible way to measure it, i think several people must be getting cheated.

      you can start on your own. see if your palms get warm in the namaskar position when you do your daily mantra. that warmth or vibration is Reiki.

    Hi madam. This query is regarding 12th house and Dhyan. I have been into Dhyan from childhood but left in between due to family pressure.and have been following the same technique what you mentioned in your post and nobody taught me to do this.

    I also have 3 planets in my 12th house mars , mercury and sun and I am libra ascendant. And my Saturn is in 8 th house.

    Since I restarted my Dhyan 4 years back.. after an year I started having stomach issues. My body burns. All medical examination don’t point any problem.

    I wanted to ask you if it could be due to Dhyan done in a way which isn’t right? Is there a way I can heal myself and avoid this agony ?

      Hi there
      Dharmesh Vyesh both same and he is in swarashi in vyay.
      You need some Guru tattva. Ie think of ur source of faith / deity etc specifically as a Guru.
      And Dhyan wont cause pain like this.

      There is some other reason. Request ur yogkarak to point out the correct solution. Give daan to him

        Thank you madam. I ahve met few people who claimed to have siddhis and wanted me to join them as disciple. But eventually all of them were looking for earning money.

        I currently have Mangal mahadasha and the burning started with that ..

        Is that relevant ? Or I am reading too much ? Also I was wondering if you have any view on my 12th house and astral travel given I have 3 planets ?

        In my family nobody is into spirituality or Dhyan but I as a kid have always been attracted to it .

        Hi there
        dasha and transits are used to time events. so yes, do analyse your mars mahadasha and its antardashas.
        and find a competent medical professional to treat your issues

      this position will give significant gains esp after they all mature. and keep increasing.

      Madam
      This is on your post on ketu in 12th house from moon. I have this combination and I am born in my 12th lord from ascendant mercury mahadasha and also my 12 th lord from moon is mercury which is sitting in Virgo my 12th house from ascendant.

      I relate very much with astral things you mentioned there including meeting people who seems to posses siddhis kinda aghoris without me trying to find them.

      I want to know that when you expose yourself to astral world by virtue of astrological combination and also deep Dhyan… you could be exposed to negative forces too which can harm you physically and mentally in real world?

      If yes. Is there a way to build a protective shield ?

      1. astrologerbydefault Avatar

        Hi there
        anything which attacks you on the astral will 100% give its results on the material planes.
        it can be as simple as a stomach upset to hair fall to tiredness which never goes away to worse things.

        so if you are required by karma to be in the astral realms more than the average person, then take care, cleanse etc else it will not be good.

        Dhyan is not ‘exposing yourself to astral realms’ , you are sitting on your asan aren’t you? you are protected by the power of that asan.

        shields – use the index page or the search bar on my blog. in fact before asking anything, first search for it, most likely i have written on it
        you can also use basic google search with ‘psychologicallyastrology’ ‘keyword you want to ask about’

    Namaste mam,
    I need your advice, while doing dhyana, we have to focus on third-eye chakra and breath in-out with so-hum for 108times , and I use my fingers to count. my concern was, when I do this, my focus wanders from third-eye chakra, so-hum breathing and counting fingers. How to focus only on 3rd eye chakra, coz I’m doing others too mantra jaap and counting.
    Where am I wrong, mam.

    1. astrologerbydefault Avatar

      Hi there
      will happen with time
      the counting is required at the initial stages.
      keep on doing

    Pranaam Madam,
    Thanks so much for the reply to the query. And I apologize for a quick query.. For Virgo ascendant, saturn is the 5th as well as 6th house lord, when I was reading the BPHS translation by R santhanam, I could not find a mention about saturn (chapter 34 BPHS 1 sutra 31 and 32 for virgo ascendant quick reference) and R Santhanamji has interpreted it as neutral. I was wondering if it is possible to share your precious insights on the same from your valuable experience, again as per your entire convenience.

    Best wishes and sincere regards,

      whenver i see a planet incharge of the dushamsthan i always first look for its capacity to create problems in life.
      because even if he gives some beneficial results, people never appreciate the positives. they will go to the astrologer with the problems and the problems are going to stem from the dusham.

    Madam ji

    Earlier i believed that astrology affect only people who did bad things in their life and fate is the only real thing..if you need to go through something it sure will come on you and if that is so y u need astrology..you only have to do your sadhana and everything wil be taken care of by devi amma.and all othrr things are the things we need to go through and there is no escape from it
    .
    But now I know why we need astrology in the fiest place..not to predict events but to realy know who you are.And love the journey till now…its like a puzzle..and every thing has a place and the more interesting thing is that it wil not end here…it started beyond this life time and will strech after our life time and we here trying to figure it out by ourselves…just like a lot of bindus create a stright line…and we are here in this time frame as a bindu and a lot to follow..I am sure you cant even write a portion of what you have learned in this blog but even this much answere so many traits of me as a person and it opened a whole new world to me…its so unique just like ..I dont know what its like…but just this..that I was thrilled , saddened, re conciled with the past and the most important thing forgiven myself in the process with the knowledge that lot more to go and do..🙏
