Moon Remedies: Mantra, Gemstone, Vrat and Daan

In short

Moon remedies are kept on Monday: chant Om Shram Shreem Shraum Sah Chandramase Namah, donate milk, rice, and keep the weekday fast. Pearl is the graha's stone, but it should only be worn once Moon has been established as a functional benefic for your lagna.

What Moon remedies are for

Chandra remedies steady the mind. The Moon governs emotion, the mother, sleep and the sense of being at home in oneself, and its remedies are the gentlest in the classical set — the Moon has no traditional enemies, so almost nothing here can backfire.

When it is under strain

An afflicted Moon reads as overreaction, low mood, thin sleep and a general sense of being unsettled. Monday observance, Shiva worship and time near still water are the standard responses.

Frequently asked questions

Are Moon remedies safe to start without an astrologer?

The mantra, the weekday fast and the charity are safe for anyone — they address Moon without amplifying it. Pearl is not: a planetary gem strengthens whatever the graha is already doing, so it needs a chart reading first.

Which day is for Moon remedies?

Monday. Fasting, charity and mantra japa for Moon all belong to that day.

How many times should the Moon mantra be chanted?

The classical Sankhya is 11,000 repetitions, completed over weeks rather than at once. Begin with one mala — 108 — a day and build up; sincerity matters more than arithmetic.

Who should not wear Pearl?

Most charts should not wear Pearl at all. It is prescribed only where the node's dispositor is strong, where it sits in an upachaya house, and for a specific purpose named by a qualified astrologer.
