✔ Mantras, donations, and rituals to pacify Saturn & Mars
✔ Lifestyle & psychological methods to balance mental health

Can Sonmadaka Yoga Be Canceled? – Arishta-Bhanga Effects
While Sonmadaka Yoga creates mental struggles, its negative effects can be reduced or nullified under certain conditions.
1. Arishta-Bhanga Combinations That Reduce Mental Stress
- If Moon is aspected by Jupiter, the person may experience emotional hardships but find inner wisdom and guidance.
- If Moon is in a strong sign (Taurus, Cancer, or Pisces), the mind has natural resilience against negativity.
- If Saturn is retrograde or exalted (in Libra), its harsh effects are softened, leading to discipline rather than despair.
- If Mars is in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th house) with benefics, its aggressive nature is controlled by wisdom and patience.
📌 Example:
A person with Moon in the 12th house (weak position) but aspected by exalted Jupiter in the 5th house will:
✔ Face emotional struggles but develop spiritual strength.
✔ Overcome mental health issues through meditation and wisdom.
🔹 Key Insight:
If the cancellation yogas (Arishta-Bhanga) are strong, remedies may not even be needed since the person naturally overcomes obstacles.
Astrological Remedies for Sonmadaka Yoga
1. Strengthening the Moon – The Mind’s Protector
Since Sonmadaka Yoga weakens the mind, strengthening the Moon is one of the most effective remedies.
✔ Mantras for Moon Stability
- Chant “Om Chandraya Namaha” daily 108 times for emotional balance.
- Recite Mahamrityunjaya Mantra for mental peace and protection from negativity.
✔ Gemstone Remedy
- Wear a Pearl (Moti) gemstone on the right hand’s little finger (only if recommended in the birth chart).
- If Moon is badly afflicted, wear a White Coral (Shwet Praval) instead.
✔ Simple Remedies
- Drink water stored in a silver vessel to strengthen Moon’s energy.
- Avoid eating stale or refrigerated food, as it weakens the Moon’s energy.
📌 Who Should Strengthen the Moon?
✔ If Moon is weak in the 12th house → Strengthening helps reduce depression & isolation.
✔ If Moon is with Saturn or Mars → Strengthening helps bring mental clarity and reduce mood swings.
2. Remedies for Saturn (Shani) – The Planet of Sorrow & Delay
Saturn’s influence in Sonmadaka Yoga brings negativity, fear, and delays in mental growth.
✔ Mantras for Saturn’s Peace
- Chant “Om Shanaye Namaha” daily to reduce Saturn’s negative effects.
- Read Hanuman Chalisa on Saturdays to gain mental strength against Saturn’s pressure.
✔ Charity & Donations
- Donate black sesame seeds, mustard oil, or iron objects on Saturdays.
- Feed crows, stray dogs, or poor people, as it reduces Saturn’s harshness.
✔ Lifestyle Remedies for Saturn
- Avoid wearing black clothes on Saturdays to prevent Saturn’s depressive influence.
- Reduce attachment to materialism, as Saturn demands spiritual awareness.
📌 Who Needs Saturn Remedies?
✔ If Saturn is in Lagna (1st house) → Person suffers from overthinking and depression.
✔ If Saturn is with Moon in the 12th house → Remedies help reduce mental anxiety and isolation.
3. Remedies for Mars – Controlling Anger & Impulsiveness
Mars in Sonmadaka Yoga creates aggression, impulsivity, and lack of patience.
✔ Mantras for Mars
- Chant “Om Mangalaya Namaha” daily to balance aggression.
- Recite Hanuman Chalisa on Tuesdays to remove Mars-related frustrations.
✔ Simple Remedies for Mars
- Avoid red-colored clothes or excessive spicy food on Tuesdays.
- Donate red lentils or jaggery to reduce Mars’s aggression.
- Wear a red coral gemstone (if Mars is weak and astrologically suitable).
📌 Who Needs Mars Remedies?
✔ If Mars is in the 5th or 7th house → Reduces impulsiveness in decision-making.
✔ If Mars is in the 8th or 12th house → Reduces hidden aggression or self-destructive tendencies.
Psychological & Lifestyle Remedies for Sonmadaka Yoga
1. Meditation & Breathing Exercises
- Practice Moon Meditation – Sit under moonlight on a Monday night and meditate for 15-20 minutes.
- Do Pranayama (Breathing Techniques) – “Anulom Vilom” (Alternate Nostril Breathing) calms Saturn’s anxiety effects.
- Regular Yoga – Specific yoga poses like Balasana (Child’s Pose) help reduce emotional stress.
2. Diet & Food-Based Remedies
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol, or processed foods, as they increase mental instability.
- Eat more dairy (milk, ghee, yogurt) and water-based fruits (melons, pears) to strengthen the Moon.
- Include red lentils, pomegranates, and beetroots for Mars-related balance.
3. Avoiding Negative Influences
- Stay away from toxic people, arguments, or negativity, as Sonmadaka Yoga makes the mind vulnerable to external influences.
- Engage in spiritual or creative activities like painting, writing, or music, which help calm the mind.
Final Conclusion – Overcoming Sonmadaka Yoga
✔ Sonmadaka Yoga can cause emotional distress, depression, or aggression, but its effects depend on planetary strength.
✔ If benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus) are strong, the negative effects are reduced.
✔ Astrological remedies like chanting, donations, and meditation can help balance mental instability.
✔ Modern solutions like therapy, mindfulness, and emotional support groups are also helpful in managing its effects.
Final Thought: Fate vs. Free Will
While astrology shows planetary influences, human effort and wisdom can always overcome difficulties. Even with difficult planetary positions, remedies, spiritual discipline, and self-awareness can help a person live a balanced and fulfilling life.
