Basic definition

• Chandrashtama marks the Moon’s passage through the 8th rashi from one’s janma rashi, often bringing mental unrest, delays, and emotional challenges.​

• This period advises caution against important actions due to potential for misunderstandings or obstacles.​

For Vrischika rashi specifically

• Vrischika rashi includes Vishakha 4th pada, Anuradha, and Jyeshta 1st–3rd padas; Chandrashtama hits when Moon enters Mithuna (Gemini).​

• The three Gemini nakshatras—Mrigashira 3rd–4th padas, Ardra, Punarvasu 1st–3rd padas—define this transit for Vrischika natives.​

Practical guidance

• Avoid: new ventures, long trips, financial risks, disputes, or elective surgeries during Vrischika-Chandrashtama.​

• Recommended: Parvati or Budha worship, green gram donation, quiet meditation, and simple routines to ease the phase.
