Most people follow them for at least a few months, or through the relevant Dasha period. ### Do I need my birth time? **Yes, ideally.** An accurate birth time shows which house the Moon rules and occupies, which changes which remedies make sense. ### Is there a puja for Chandra? **Yes.** For stronger support Arjun can arrange a [Chandra Puja](https://astroresearch.com.au/book-a-puja/chandra-puja/) performed in your name. ## Get Chandra remedies matched to your chart **[Book a consultation with Arjun](https://astroresearch.com.au/product/vedic-astrology-consultation/) for a personal remedy plan, or order the [All Remedies Report](https://astroresearch.com.au/product/all-remedies-report/) for a written set of recommendations.** You can also browse all [Vedic remedies](https://astroresearch.com.au/book-remedies/). _Pujas and remedies are traditional spiritual practices offered in good faith.

See our [disclaimer](https://astroresearch.com.au/disclaimer/)._ ## When Chandra (Moon) is the pressure point **The Moon is the mind. When Chandra is under pressure, people tell me their thoughts won't switch off, sleep is broken and moods swing for no clear reason. Remedies aim to settle the mind and routine, alongside proper medical support where it is needed.** ### What people tell me - Overthinking and a restless mind, especially at night. - Broken sleep and feeling emotionally overwhelmed. - Mood swings, often when the Moon sits with Rahu, Ketu or Saturn. ### The traditional remedy Chandra Shanti Puja, with Monday practice: Om Som Somaya Namah, a light fast or simpler food on Mondays, and rice, milk or white cloth as daan. ### The Vastu zone to look at North-West: this is the Vayu (air) zone, linked with the Moon. Keep it ventilated and free of clutter, and avoid heavy storage or a cluttered bedroom there.

Commonly a waning or afflicted Moon, a Moon with Rahu, Ketu or Saturn, or a Moon in the 6th, 8th or 12th house. People describe it as sensitivity, overthinking and unsettled sleep. I always read it with the whole chart before calling it weak. ### Can astrology help with anxiety? Astrology can show stressful periods and what tends to steady you, and remedies can support a calmer routine. It does not treat anxiety. If worry or low mood is affecting daily life, please see your GP or a psychologist, and in a crisis call Lifeline on 13 11 14. ### Do remedies work for a Moon and Rahu conjunction? They help many people feel steadier. I usually suggest a Chandra mantra on Mondays, Durga worship for Rahu, regular sleep and less late-night screen time, and a Chandra or Rahu Shanti Puja when the conjunction is being activated by Dasha. --- Source: https://astroresearch.com.au/book-remedies/chandra-remedies/ Publisher: Astro Research (https://astroresearch.com.au/), Sydney, Australia
