Moon in Medical Astrology: Malefic Effects by Signs and Houses

 In Vedic medical astrology, the Moon governs:

  • Mind and emotions

  • Fluids in the body (blood, lymph, plasma)

  • Sleep, fertility, digestion, and hormonal balance

  • Body Fluids: Blood circulation (fluid part), lymph, and glandular secretions.

  • Digestion: The lining of the stomach and nutrient absorption.

  • Mental Health: Anxiety, depression, and sleep patterns.

  • Female Health: Menstrual cycles, breasts, and fertility.

    A strong Moon ensures emotional resilience and physiological harmony. But when afflicted—especially as lord of the 6th or 8th house—it can trigger chronic, hidden, or psychosomatic disorders.


Moon as 6th/8th Lord in 12 Zodiac Signs

When the Moon is "malefic" due to lordship, its placement in these signs indicates where fluid accumulation or mental stress will manifest as disease.
