Arishta Matibhramana Yoga (Part 4): Dusthana Houses and Severe Mental Disorders: 4 Powerful Examples
March 15, 2025 Table of Contents
Introduction
The 6th, 8th, and 12th houses in Vedic astrology are known as Dusthana houses, representing diseases, suffering, subconscious fears, and hidden enemies. When key planets related to the mind—Moon, Mercury, Saturn, Mars, Rahu, and Ketu—are placed in these houses or afflicted, they can cause severe mental disorders, irrational fears, mood swings, and cognitive impairments.
What is Arishta Matibhramana Yoga?
Arishta Matibhramana Yoga is a planetary combination that increases the risk of serious mental health issues, including depression, psychosis, schizophrenia, paranoia, and extreme mood disorders.
In Part 3, we covered:
- The impact of Moon and Mercury on mental disorders
- How afflictions to these planets lead to speech issues, anxiety, and delusions
Now, in Part 4, we will focus on Dusthana Houses (6th, 8th, 12th) and their role in severe mental illnesses.
Formation of Arishta Matibhramana Yoga (Dusthana House Cases)
1. Moon Conjunct Mars, Rahu, or Saturn in the 6th, 8th, or 12th House (Especially the 8th House)
- Moon governs emotions, memory, and stability. When afflicted in a Dusthana house, the person may suffer from deep emotional trauma, paranoia, hallucinations, or aggressive outbursts.
- Mars in these houses causes violent behavior, impulsivity, and emotional instability.
- Rahu creates illusions, making the person prone to delusions, fears, or extreme anxiety.
- Saturn in these houses causes chronic depression, hopelessness, or social withdrawal.
2. Moon is Weak and Waning in the 8th House, Conjunct Rahu, and Aspected by Malefics
- The 8th house represents hidden fears, subconscious trauma, and sudden transformations.
- A weak, waning Moon in the 8th house afflicted by Rahu and malefic aspects can cause schizophrenia, paranoia, and suicidal tendencies.
- The native may experience sudden, irrational emotional breakdowns, extreme suspicion of others, or intense mood swings.
3. The 6th House Lord is Conjunct or Aspected by a Malefic, the 6th House Holds Malefics, and Moon/Mercury Are in a Trik House
- The 6th house governs mental illnesses and enemies.
- If the 6th house lord is conjunct or aspected by malefics like Saturn, Mars, or Rahu, mental disorders can develop.
- Moon or Mercury in Trik houses (6th, 8th, 12th) indicate emotional distress, difficulty processing thoughts, and long-term mental struggles.
4. Moon in the 12th House Conjunct Rahu, While a Benefic is in the 8th House
- The 12th house governs isolation, subconscious fears, and detachment from reality.
- Moon conjunct Rahu in this house creates mental confusion, irrational fears, and a tendency toward obsessive thinking.
- The person may struggle with anger issues, aggression, or anti-social behavior.
5. Mercury is Weak and Conjunct a Malefic in the 3rd, 6th, 8th, or 12th House
- Mercury controls logic, speech, and reasoning. When weak and afflicted in Dusthana houses, it can cause speech disorders, learning disabilities, or irrational thinking.
- If conjunct Saturn, Mars, or Rahu, the person may suffer from obsessive thoughts, erratic behavior, or psychosis.
