Whenever Moon transit to Meen Raashi then you will be affected by Chandrashtam.
What is Chandrashtam? Read the following:
Chandrashtam occurs every month whenever the Moon passes through the eighth house from the Birth Sign (Chandra Janma Raashi) for every person. Chandrashtam is considered to be a Dosha time (inauspicious period) hence in general no auspicious deed is undertaken during that period. Normally Chandrashtam-Dosh duration lasts for two days every month for every Raashi and approximately twenty-four hours for particular constellation (Nakshatra). Strictly speaking, there is no concrete reference made on the importance Chandrashtam in any classical astrological works; however, in many places–especially in southern states of our country Chandrashtam is given great importance.
The Moon is considered to be a natural benefic planet in Vedic Astrology. Since the Moon is closest to Earth it influences us more deeply than any other planet. The Moon is highly capable of conferring great mental power and effect of the Moon is said to be very personal and intimate. The position of Moon is very important in the horoscope from the perspective of prosperity. If strong and powerful in directional strength, the Moon can give immense courage and mental balance to a native because both courage as well as mental balance is essential for one’s prosperity.
There will be Chandrashtam-Dosh every month for every person; however, the negative effect of Chandrashtam-Dosh may not be applicable to every one because it differ from person to person depending upon the position of the Moon in the horoscope. Supposing if the Moon is well placed without any afflictions in a horoscope, then the native need not bother at all about the Chandrashtam-Dosh. Contrary to that if the Moon is ill placed or heavily afflicted in the horoscope then the negative effects of Chandrashtam will be severe. If a person is born under Ashtam- Shani, Sade-Sathi, or if a person is born under malefic Yog like Shakat Yog, Kemdruma Yog, Grahan Yog etc or if a person is born when the Moon is mercilessly aspected by Saturn or in conjunction with Saturn or if the Moon is in debilitated state in a horoscope, then the person need to take some precaution during Chandrashtam-Dosh period and no auspicious works to be carried out during those inauspicious periods. Performing marriage, staring a new venture, signing agreements, taking up journey, shifting to new house, buying any articles especially vehicle, wearing new cloths, opening bank accounts etc, etc should be avoided during Chandrashtam-Dosh period; however, the regular routine should kept going on!
Remedy to overcome Chandrashtam-Dosh suggested in certain old Texts: Supposing under certain compelling and unavoidable situation, if a person, who is trapped by Chandrashtam, has to undertake some auspicious deeds, then the person can proceed with his work after taking blessings from his mother by doing Sashtanga Namaskaaram to her and drinking a tumbler of cardamom (elaichi) and tulsi-leaf mixed hot milk taking from his mother’s hands. The remedial procedure is very simple. The mother has to stand either facing east or west with some akshada (mix of raw rice and turmeric powder) and a tumbler of boiled milk mixed with elaichi and tulsi in her hands. When her son or daughter does Namaskaaram, she (mother) has to bless him / her from the core of her heart and put the akshada on his / her head and embrace and kiss on the forehead. This “magical method” is suggested in our old gold Texts way back; however, this remedial procedure earned currency and became famous in the name of JADU KI JHAPPI very recently!!

The birth during Moon's transit at some specific positions in the zodiac is considered as extremely inauspicious. Gandanta positions are one of those inauspicious positions among others such as usna ghatikas, visha ghatikas etc. The person born under gandanta suffers numerous miseries in life and based on the exact nature of the gandandta even the parents and other relations can be severly affected. To alleviate the troubles from the Gandanta birth, it is advised to do shanti puja for birth during this time.
Gandanta is comprised of two terms Ganda and Anta, where Ganda means "a node" and anta means "the end". The whole zodiac is visioned to have three nodes at zero degree Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, which are also called the brahma randhra (eye of Brahma, the creator) or Vishnu Nabhi (the navel of Vishnu, showing the beginning of creation). To understand why Gandanta is known to be inauspicious, we need to understand the creation process. The creation process is cyclical, which starts with the emergence of creation impetus and ends with dissolution of the whole creation to nothing-ness. This cycle can be mapped to the four elements of nature in the oder of Fire, Earth, Air and Water and the whole process of creation and dissolution happen under the ambit of the Ethery element. In the zodiac the whole creation process repeats thrice from the beginning of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, the three fiery signs. While mapping the creation process with the nakshatra scheme of zodiac reckoning, the three cycles start from Aswini, Magha and Moola. However, before the creation starts the end of the watery signs namly, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, shows the dissolution of the creation. Thus the beginning of the mentioned three fiery signs shows transition from the dissolution phase to creation phase and hence they represent as three nodes in the zodiac, each starting its own process of creation. Hence the person born near to these nodes are caught in the process of transition from destruction of old creation and start of new creation and hence suffer the burnt of it. Like the start of creation is shown by the beginning of Aswini, Magha and Moola, the end of destruction is represented by Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati, which falls in the ending part of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Thus the gandanta nakshatras are these six nakshatras with the 4th pada of last nakstras of watery signs and 1st pada of first nakstras in the fiery signs. They are the 4th pada of Revati (Pisces), Ashlesha (Cancer), Jyestha (Scorpio) and the 1st pada of Ashwini (Aries), Magha (Leo) and Moola (Sagittarius).
Thus the gandanta happens whenever there is a transition from watery element to fiery element. Anyone born during such transition has to suffer the trouble due to this transition and suitable remedy is required to alleviate the troubles
Moon’s motion in one Nakshatra is supposed to be 60 ghatikas and hence the duration of the Nakshatra which is affected by the Gandanta dosa is measured in terms of the Ghatikas. For the first constellations of fiery signs, the first three Ghatika and the last five Ghatikas before the end of the last constellation of watery signs are the precise duration of Gandanta. Since the arc duration of one Nakshatra is 13d 20m or 800 min, which is equivalent to 60 ghatikas of time, 3 ghatikas would be equivalent to 40 arc mins and 5 ghatikas would be equal to 66.67 arc mins. Thus while reckoning the gandanta in terms of the arc of the zodiac, we must take last 66.67 arc min of the last Nakshatra of the watery signs and the first 40 arc mins of
Classification of Gandanta
Classification 1:
§ If birth is in the daytime, it is called Pitri (father) Gandanta while a night birth during Gandanta is called Matri (mother) Gandanta.
Classification 2:
§ Birth in Revati (Pisces) – Aswini (Aries) junction is called Swa (self) -Gandanta
§ Birth in Aslesha (Cancer) – Magha (Leo) junction is called Matri (mother) Gandanta
§ Birth in Jyestha (Scorpio) – Moola (Sagittarius) junction is called Pitri (father) Gandanta.
Narada Muni has stated that of these six constellations, the “Abhukta Moola Gandanta” comprises the last two Ghatika of Jyestha and first two Ghatika of Moola constellation. He adds that such a child should be abandoned (or given away) or any form of hope from him should not be made. Since this is the pitri gandanta, if the child survives, father should not see his face for 8 years after birth. Other authorities indicate 27 days for this abstraction of father from seeing the face of the child, which seems more practical in today’s context. Thereafter suitable remedial measures should be performed
In the Vedic months of Margasirsa, Phalgun, Vaisakha and Jyestha the residence of Moola is in “Patala Loka” (the hell).
2. In Sravana, Kartika, Chaitra and Pausa the residence of Moola is in Martya Loka (the realm of Dead).
3. In the four Vedic months of Ashada, Aswina, Bhadra and Magha, the residence of Moola is in Swarga Loka (the Heavens).
If birth is in Gandanta and the residence of Moola is in the realm of the dead (Martya Loka) then great evil is indicated. The evil is lesser for the other Loka. Movable, Fixed and Dual signs as the (Lagna) are said to give Moola residence of Swarga, Patala and Martya loka respectively. Thus, if someone is born with dual sign as Lagna which Moon in the last quarter of Jyestha or first quarter of Moola, then great evil falls on the native.
