The Moon (Chandra) represents the mind, emotions, and peace. The 8th house is the darkest house in astrology, ruling death, trauma, and the abyss.
When the gentle Moon falls into the dark 8th house, it creates severe psychological distress. Dr. Sharma describes their exact condition: They suffer from terrible insomnia and anxiety. They wake up in the middle of the night ("raaton ko uth uth kar"), overwhelmed by dark thoughts, literally crying and praying for the sun to rise ("din ke liye rote hain").
This placement causes deep depression and a feeling of being trapped in darkness.
🪔 The VAYOM Remedy
Never drink milk at night. Offer water to the Shivling daily to calm the afflicted Moon.
