CHANDRA ASHTAMA, THE "WORST "DAYS OF THE MONTH"?? - Discussions, questions

Namaste in Jyotish the Chandra ashtama phase is when the moon(Chandra)in transit enters the 8th(Ashtama) house from your natal moon sign. The moon doesn´t feel comfortable in the 8th since Scorpio is the natural 8th sign and moon is debilitated in Scorpio.

For example, if your moon was in Libra at birth,then whenever the moon enters Taurus your Chandra ashtama phase is in effect,or if your moon was in Gemini then when moon enters Capricorn it starts.

This phase is only 2 and a quarter days long approximately and ends when the moon enters the next sign.

My spiritual mentor would advise me to completly avoid these days for any important decisions, meetings,travel, initiating new projects, etc.. and just confine my day to routine.

Not only that but many displeasing/distressing results could be seen during the phase, anything from losing your keys,waking up feeling unwell,heated arguments, accidents and injuries, to just feeling irritated and over sensitive/emotional.

I remember telling him that these things can happen on anyday and he agreed But said" When these things occur during Chandra ashtama the problem can become Chronic or severe".
So that is why traveling is avoided during Chandra ashtama to avoid accidents or problems on the way.

Also if your Chandra ashtama phase occurs when the moon is weak especially near the Dark moon phase of the moon the problems can be more pronounced.

If your moon is weak or afflicted in your chart (moon in the 6th, 8th,or 12fl or conjuct a malefic or aspected by malefic or in scorpio or capricorn or born when moon is in the waning phase etc..) then you might experience it more than others.

In my personal experience, I´ve noticed a dark mood of restlessness, having headaches,irritability, and just not feeling "myself".
Also arguments and receiving unpleasant news isn´t uncommon or something goes wrong no matter what you try or attempt.

My teacher said there is no remedies for this phase,fasting, colors,gemstones etc..).will not help except for Intense Japa( offering prayers or mantra´s to God)🙏🕉
