Basic Chandrashtama concept
-
Chandrashtama is defined as the period when the Moon moves through the 8th house/sign from your janma rashi; this entire transit of about 2.5 days is treated as inauspicious/sensitive.
-
The term combines Chandra (Moon) and Ashtama (eighth), and is associated with emotional strain, fatigue, delays, and higher likelihood of mistakes, so major new beginnings are generally avoided.
For Kadagam rashi specifically
-
Kadagam (Cancer) rashi includes Punarvasu 4th pada, Pushya (Pushyami), and Ashlesha (Ayilyam) nakshatras as janma stars.
-
For these natives, Chandrashtama sets in when the Moon enters Kumbha (Aquarius) and passes through Dhanishta 3–4 padas, Shatabhisha, and Purva Bhadrapada 1–2 padas.
Practical guidance
-
Best avoided during Kadagam‑Chandrashtama: high‑stakes travel, legal fights, major financial commitments, and emotionally charged decisions.
-
Favor instead: Ishhta‑devata japa, especially Chandra or Shiva upasana, simple vrata, charity, rest, and keeping routine work light and non‑confrontational.
