Basic definition

• Chandrashtama refers to the Moon’s transit through the 8th rashi from one’s janma rashi, a period of heightened mental sensitivity, emotional turbulence, and potential setbacks.​

• This 2–2.5 day window is marked by advice against major new beginnings due to increased risks of confusion or obstacles.​

For Rishabha rashi specifically

• Rishabha rashi covers Krittika 2nd–4th padas, Rohini and Mrigashira 1st–2nd padas; the 8th sign is Dhanu (Sagittarius), so Moon in Dhanu triggers Chandrashtama.​

• Specifically, Moon’s passage through Dhanu nakshatras—Mula, Purva Ashadha, and Uttara Ashadha 1st pada—defines these periods.
