In astrology and Vedic tradition, Moon is considered to be the planet responsible for mind, mother, water element, mental peace and consciousness. Whenever a lunar eclipse occurs, the Moon is eclipsed due to the shadow of Rahu and Ketu, which in astrological language is called ‘affliction’ of the Moon. After the eclipse ends (Moksha Kaal), the negative energy spread in the environment and the weak Moon have a direct impact on the person’s mental health, decision making ability and family happiness and peace. In such a situation, the Vedic and classical remedies done immediately after the eclipse not only eliminate negative energy but also provide new strength and positivity to the weak Moon in the horoscope.
Immediately after eclipse, take bath and purify the house.
As soon as the lunar eclipse ends, the first and most important step is complete purification. After the eclipse period is over, stale clothes should be discarded and one should immediately take bath with fresh water. Mixing a little Ganga water, raw milk and a few drops of rose water or Kewra water in bathing water is considered very auspicious. With this, the harmful effects of the eclipse on the body and aura are immediately destroyed. After bathing, sprinkle Ganga water around the entire house, worship place and safe. If Tulsi leaves or Kusha were not added to the cooked food kept in the kitchen before the Sutak period, then discard it and prepare satvik food afresh.
Worship of Lord Shiva: The surest way to remove the pain of Moon
In Sanatan Dharma, Lord Shiva has been called ‘Chandrashekhar’, because he gave the moon protection and immortality by holding it on his head. The most surefire and powerful means to strengthen the afflicted Moon is to take refuge in Lord Bholenath. After the eclipse is over or the next morning, go to a Shiva temple and offer Panchamrit mixed with raw milk and pure water on the Shivling using a silver or brass pot instead of a copper pot. While chanting ‘Om Namah Shivay’ or ‘Mahamrityunjay Mantra’ 108 times, offer water stream to Shivling and offer white sandalwood and white madar flowers. This simple ritual is capable of eliminating mental concerns like lunar defect, eclipse defect and depression in the horoscope.
Methodical chanting of Chandra Beej Mantra and Stotra
If the mind is disturbed, irritable or surrounded by negative thoughts due to the effect of eclipse, then Moon God can be made energetic through mantra sadhana. Sit on a white seat facing north or east and chant powerful mantras of Moon God with a Rudraksh or crystal rosary.
-
Chandra Beej Mantra: “Om Shram Shreem Shram Sah Chandramse Namah”
-
Mythological Moon Mantra: “Om Son Somay Namah”
-
Chandra Gayatri Mantra: “Om Kshirputraya Vidmahe Amrittattvaya Dhimahi, Tanno Chandrah Prachodayat”
Chanting these mantras at least one rosary (108 times) eliminates restlessness from the mind and brings unprecedented improvement in concentration. If possible, recitation of Chandra Kavach or ‘Dwirajaraman Stotra’ also provides mental strength.
Mahadonation of white things: Weak Moon will get immediate strength
In astrology, charity has been said to be the most effective way to remove planetary adversities. After the eclipse, the importance of donating increases several thousand times. To propitiate the afflicted Moon, white colored food and metal items should be donated to a needy, old woman or Brahmin.
-
Donation of food and money: Rice, milk, curd, sugar candy, white sweets, sugar and flour.
-
Clothing and Metal Donation: White silk or cotton clothes, silver coin, small square piece of silver or conch shell.
-
Service of animals and birds: After the eclipse, feeding cow flour mixed with a little butter or milk and feeding fish balls with flour gives very auspicious results.
Silver vessel water and lunar balance in daily life
To strengthen the weak Moon, it is necessary to change not only the rituals, but also some daily practical habits. Keep a silver glass or pot filled with water every night and drink that water after waking up in the morning. Silver provides coolness and controls water retention & balance in the body. Apart from this, make a habit of walking for 15 to 20 minutes in the moonlight on the full moon day in your daily routine. These lunar rays are directly absorbed in the body and balance the hormones and neurotransmitters.
Maternal service and women’s respect: the key to getting the blessings of the Moon
In the horoscope, Moon is directly related to mother and motherly women. If the mother’s heart hurts or the behavior with the women of the house is inappropriate, then the auspicious results of the Moon cannot be achieved even after performing any big ritual. After the eclipse, touch the feet of your mother, grandmother, grandmother or any elderly woman and seek their blessings. Present them some white sweets or clothes as a gift. The blessings emanating from the hearts of the elders absorb all the inauspicious and afflictive effects of the Moon like a shield.
Avoid these mistakes completely after the eclipse
Avoid consuming spicy food, alcohol, excessively spicy or stale food for at least three days after the lunar eclipse. Avoid unnecessary disputes, anger and the habit of staying awake till late night, because night vigil increases mental stress and the weak Moon becomes more debilitated. If Moon-Rahu conjunction (Grahan Yoga) or Moon-Saturn conjunction (Vish Yoga) is being formed in the horoscope, then consider wearing pearl or moonstone after taking advice from a qualified astrologer.
