Moon is the one of the important planets in your birth chart. If you ponder, no planet other than Moon can bestow real happiness in life. This is because Moon is your mind. If your mind is peaceful, strong and balanced no amount of grief in life can deter you. A strong Sun will give you good image and position in life, good Mars will give you ownership over huge tracks of Land, good Mercury will make you a great orator, a good Jupiter would make you a wise person, strong Venus will give you lots of luxuries and strong Saturn will give a successful business but none of these planets promise peace and tranquility. The real happiness in life comes with a peaceful and content mind which is the department of Moon.

Kemadruma Dosha is the specific placement of Moon in birth chart wherein there are no planets in 2^nd house and 12^th house from the house in which Moon is placed. In other words, the house before and after the house in which Moon is placed are empty. Mind you, Sun, Rahu and Ketu even though placed in house before or after the house in which Moon is placed even then it is considered as Kemadruma Dosha. One more additional condition for this Dosha is that Moon is completely alone which means there are no planetary aspects of any other planets on Moon (Sun, Rahu and Ketu aspect to be ignored). Also, Moon must be placed alone, there are no other planets conjunct with Moon. One last condition, the Kendra houses from Moon should be vacant. This means, the fourth, seventh and tenth house from Moon should be empty.

Now, let us talk about the effects of Kemadrum Dosha. The general effects of Kemadrum Dosha are depressive state of mind, restless mind, disinterest in relationship, difficulty to concentrate, poverty, reckless decision, loves to stay alone, etc. Again, let me clarify these are general effects, the specific effects would depend on the placement of other planets in birth chart. If the Lagna and Lagna Lord have effect of Jupiter, Saturn or Ketu then the person naturally loves solitude, less materialistic. For such people Kemadrum Dosha becomes Kemadrum Yoga, as it helps them in pursuing their ambition to be in unison with God. However, if the Lagna and Lagna lord is associated with Venus (Luxury), Mercury (Business) and Rahu (Ambition), such people really have a difficult time as they get caught between two opposing forces that of ambition and renunciation.

Now, let us talk about the remedies for people who have Kemadrum Dosha in their birth chart. Below are few remedies suggested:
