Introduction
In Part 1, we explored how Sonmadaka Yoga is formed, along with its planetary combinations and their impact on mental health. Now, in Part 2, we will analyze how this yoga affects different aspects of life, including:
✔ Mental and emotional struggles
✔ Behavioral traits of individuals with this yoga

Understanding these factors will help us see how this yoga manifests in real life and why some people suffer more than others.
Effects of Sonmadaka Yoga on the Mind & Emotions
1. Emotional Instability & Negative Thought Patterns
- The Moon represents emotions, and when afflicted by Saturn or Mars, it creates mood swings, anxiety, and mental instability.
- People with this yoga may experience depressive episodes, self-doubt, and a lack of motivation.
- If the 12th house is involved, thoughts of isolation or even self-harm can develop.
📌 Example:
A person with Moon in the 12th house with Saturn may:
✔ Feel constantly misunderstood and prefer to withdraw from people.
✔ Struggle with overthinking and self-doubt.
✔ Experience chronic sadness or emotional numbness.
2. Depression vs. Aggression – How Different Placements Change the Effects
Not everyone with Sonmadaka Yoga will suffer from depression—some may develop anger issues, impulsivity, or extreme aggression instead.
🔸 Depression-Prone Cases:
- If Moon is afflicted in the 12th house → Melancholy, low energy, feelings of worthlessness.
- If Saturn is with Moon in the 1st or 4th house → Chronic sadness, withdrawal from society.
🔹 Aggression-Prone Cases:
- If Mars is in the 5th or 9th house → Impulsive outbursts, anger, frustration.
- If Saturn and Mars are together in the 7th house → Rage against partners, legal troubles.
📌 Example:
A person with Saturn in Lagna & Mars in 9th house may:
✔ Be extremely critical of others and themselves.
✔ Struggle with anger management and react harshly in conflicts.
✔ Feel restless, often arguing with family or colleagues.
How Sonmadaka Yoga Affects Different Areas of Life
1. Career & Professional Life
- These individuals may struggle with workplace pressure, self-confidence, or maintaining stable jobs.
- If Mercury is weak, poor decision-making skills can lead to bad career choices.
- If Jupiter is absent or afflicted, financial instability may become a long-term issue.
📌 Example:
A person with Moon-Saturn in the 10th house (career house) may:
✔ Struggle with career advancement due to self-doubt.
✔ Feel underappreciated despite working hard.
✔ Be prone to workplace conflicts or quitting jobs suddenly.
2. Relationships & Social Life
- Romantic relationships may suffer due to trust issues, insecurities, or emotional coldness.
- Marriage can be difficult if Mars-Saturn influence the 7th house (spouse), leading to frequent arguments or separation.
- Friendships may be unstable as the person tends to withdraw from social interactions.
📌 Example:
A person with Mars & Saturn in the 7th house (relationship house) may:
✔ Struggle with marital disputes and power struggles.
✔ Feel distant from their partner due to emotional instability.
✔ Have a hard time trusting people, leading to isolation.
3. Family & Childhood Influence
- Moon afflicted in the 4th house (mother’s house) can indicate a troubled childhood.
- Saturn in Lagna with Mars in 5th house can cause a lack of emotional support from family.
📌 Example:
A person with Moon & Saturn in the 4th house may:
✔ Feel neglected or unloved by their mother.
✔ Have a lonely childhood with strict discipline.
✔ Experience early emotional wounds that affect their adult relationships.
Severity of Sonmadaka Yoga – When Is It Worse?

🟡 Moderate Cases (Some Struggles, But Manageable)
✔ Saturn in the 1st house, but Moon unafflicted (mental pressure, but stable emotions).
✔ Mars in the 9th house, but a strong Jupiter in the 1st house (anger issues, but self-awareness helps control it).
🟢 Mild Cases (Challenges Exist, But Can Be Overcome)
✔ Moon in 7th house with benefic aspects (emotional struggles, but supportive relationships help balance it).
✔ Saturn in 10th house, but with a strong Mercury (work stress, but intelligence helps them find solutions).
