Sage Parashara also describes specific configurations under which this period becomes testing — for health, relationships, wealth or work. Whether any of these apply to you depends entirely on where Moon and Saturn sit in your individual chart. If this period is approaching or running for you, a personal reading examines these placements and, where needed, the classical remedies for them.
Sage Parashara prescribes specific remedies for this period — japa, charity and propitiation — selected according to the afflictions present in the individual chart. Because the remedy must match the affliction, the applicable remedies for your chart are shared in a personal consultation.
Even when the Moon is afflicted, the opening of this antardasha still tends to bring some initial comforts and gain of wealth before difficulties set in.
The Moon's strength is the deciding factor: a full, well-placed Moon brings emotional ease and family joy, while a weak or waning Moon turns the period inward towards lethargy and estrangement.
