Astrological Reasons For Depression-
Depression is a very common problem now a days.
Actually, it is a state of mind in which the person does not feel happy or well and sometimes people have depression without any reason. Some people have all the happiness in life, yet they suffer from depression.
Sometimes it is because of failures in life, troubled by career, love.
The severity of depression is due to the position of the planets and stars in the horoscope.
The cause of depression is due to the damaged state of mind.
In astrology, the Moon is represented by the mind. The Moon is the receiver of everything that is good and bad. We all feel happy when good things happen in life, but we feel bad and depressed when no good things happen in life.
Mental illness/depression occurs due to the conjunction of Moon with harsh and cruel planets.
Moon with Saturn, Rahu and Ketu can give depression. Weak Moon, Mercury and Jupiter can give depression.
Moon if placed with Shani (Yuti), makes a person slow. Saturn is fear and limitation. It brings laziness. Moon is peace of mind and it seeks happiness. The conjunction of Saturn and Moon creates a depressant by putting extra burden and responsibility and feeling of heaviness on the emotional side.
Another reason for depression is when Moon is along with Ketu (coincidence). Ketu is the South Node of the Moon, this is our subconscious thinking. Ketu is the headless body which forces us to think what is beyond this world, it represents spirituality, emptiness and is not interested in the material world.
When Moon conjuncts with planets in 6th, 8th, and 12th house, it makes a person related to depression as Moon is not happy in these houses.
If Moon is situated in Ta**us, where the mind is stable, then it may not give problem but if debilitated and sitting with Saturn then Rahu and Ketu can give depression.
In some Nakshatras, Moon is not comfortable, like ashlesha Nakshatra which falls in the Moon's own Cancer sign, but it is an emotionally disturbed Nakshatra.
