Kemadruma Yoga is one very important yoga which specifically deals with the Mind. This is one of the inauspicious yoga or dosha in astrology. It is believed that this dosha makes the native poor. But if we explore this statement further, we can see that it is not poor in terms of financially but poor in terms of intellectual capabilities and much more.

In Vedic astrology, the Moon plays a very big role. The mind is represented by the Moon in astrology. Mind is very volatile in nature. In the horoscope, the moon affects the mind and thought process. The Moon determines one’s mental structure and psychology of the native. Astronomically also, the Moon is the fastest moving planet and it changes its form and size every day as perceived from the earth. So naturally, this affects the mind. Moon is like water. Water never stays unless it is held by some other support. The same way the mind needs some support from other sources to control its flow. The same way the uncontrolled mind is very dangerous because the native will not have any fixed frame of thoughts. He will be very unpredictable.

This yoga forms when there are no planets placed in 2nd and 12th houses from the Moon. So, it is as good as saying the absence of Sunapha, Anapha, and Durudhara yogas.

But there are many ways this dosha can be reduced. When planets aspect the Moon, especially by benefic planets, the result of the dosha will be reduced substantially. The aspecting planet plays a big role in shaping the native’s mind. The aspecting planet will provide the characteristics to the Moon based on its lordship in a horoscope. The dosha gets enhanced when the Moon gets positioned in fiery signs.

According to Parasara, the native will face disappointments, will not be intelligent and educated, will be poor, and suffer miseries.

According to Phaladeepika, the native even if he belongs to a royal family, will become unknown and will lead a miserable life, he will be addicted to immoral ways, will face poverty, will be a menial and will be wickedly disposed.

According to Maansagari, the native will be mean, sorrowful, poor, lives without a wife, and in other countries, faces difficulties. will be a servant of others, does charity. According to Varahamihira, the native will be dirty, sorrowful, dependent, no clear thoughts, poor.

In general, we can say, the native with the Kemadruma yoga, does not have a sense of purpose in life, he lacks mental activity, he may lack concentration in any of the work, or it may also lead to overactivity without planning and structure. Anybody can manipulate the person with Kemadruma yoga very easily because he does not have the capacity to distinguish between right and wrong for himself. Because of all these factors, he may not be able to have a cordial relationship with family and friends, which makes him lonely in life.
