In Vedic astrology, the Moon (Chandra) governs the mind, emotions, sleep, fluids, and maternal nourishment. When weak or afflicted, people may experience worry, overthinking, disturbed sleep, or feeling unsupported.

Core Remedies

1) Respect Water; Don’t Waste It

Water is Moon’s element. Practice mindful water use: avoid wastage, keep water areas clean, and cultivate gratitude before using water. This builds a subtle harmony with Chandra.

2) Drink Plenty of Water

Stay well‑hydrated through the day. Prefer room‑temperature water and sip mindfully. (If you have a medical condition that restricts fluids, follow your doctor’s advice.)

3) Ganga Snan (When Possible)

A ritual bath in the Ganga is considered purifying for the mind and emotions.

If travel isn’t possible: take a mindful bath at home, optionally adding a few drops of Ganga jal (if available) while praying for clarity and calm.

4) Worship Lord Shiva

The Moon adorns Shiva’s matted locks. Offer “Om Namah Shivaya” japa, light a diya, and maintain a serene space. Read or listen to Shiv Chalisa with devotion.

5) Fast on Trayodashi Tithi

Observe a Trayodashi (13th lunar day) fast dedicated to Shiva. Keep the mind gentle, avoid harsh speech, and conclude with Shiv Chalisa and simple satvik food.

Note: If you have health concerns, keep a partial fast (fruit/fluids) or consult a professional.

Best Practices for Results

• Keep a daily routine (sleep/wake times), support Moon with a tidy, cool‑toned bedroom.

• Moon resonates with white/silver—use a clean white cloth on your altar on Mondays.

• Spend time near natural water bodies (lakes, rivers, sea) with respect and cleanliness.

• Practice breathwork (slow nasal breathing) and short evening walks to calm the mind.
