What is Chandrashtama?
According to Vedic astrology, Chandrashtama is a day when the Moon travels through the 8th house from your Moon sign. The word ‘Chandrashtama’ comes from ‘Chandra’ (Moon) and ‘Ashta’ (eight). As the Moon takes two and a half days to transition between moon signs, this period is known as Chandrashtama for the particular moon sign natives. Traditionally, Chandrashtama days are thought of as unlucky for launching any initiatives.
