Kemadruma Yoga and Remedies in Vedic Astrology

Kemadruma Yoga is one very important yoga which specifically deals with the Mind. This is one of the inauspicious yoga or dosha in astrology. It is believed that this dosha makes the native poor. But if we explore this statement further, we can see that it is not poor in terms of financially but poor in terms of intellectual capabilities and much more.

In Vedic astrology, the Moon plays a very big role. To study the ‘present’ moment for the native astrologers always take the Moon sign or Rashi of the native. To study auspicious and inauspicious time from the transit of the planets, we study from the position of the Moon in a horoscope. The mind is represented by the Moon in astrology. Mind is very volatile in nature. In the horoscope, the moon affects the mind and thought process. The Moon determines one's mental structure and psychology of the native. Astronomically also, the Moon is the fastest moving planet and it changes its form and size every day as perceived from the earth. So naturally, this affects the mind. Moon is like water. Water never stays unless it is held by some other support. The same way the mind needs some support from other sources to control its flow. The same way the uncontrolled mind is very dangerous because the native will not have any fixed frame of thoughts. He will be very unpredictable.

How Kemadruma Yoga is Formed

So the Mind needs some support from other sources or planets. Otherwise, it leads to an inauspicious yoga called ‘Kemadruma Yoga’. So this yoga forms when there are no planets (except Sun) placed in 2nd and 12th houses from the Moon. So it is as good as saying the absence of Sunapha, Anapha, and Durudhara yogas.

But there are many ways this dosha can be reduced. When planets aspect the Moon, especially by benefic planets, the result of the dosha will be reduced substantially. The aspecting planet plays a big role in shaping the native’s mind. The aspecting planet will provide the characteristics to the Moon based on its lordship in a horoscope. The dosha gets enhanced when the Moon gets positioned in fiery signs.
