Discover Reasons Behind Nightmares Under the Loupe of Vedic Astrology

Only they know about the pain and the eerie feeling who are suffering from frequent nightmares. Nightmares are frightening rather than annoying. From a scientific perspective, it is connected with the psychological and emotional traumas that our subconscious mind stores and reflects the same through our vivid dreams. However, Vedic Astrology has other POVs to justify the reasons for frequent nightmares. So, if you want to know the reasons behind those horrible dreams that jolt you awake at midnight through the lens of astrology, read this blog to the end. Astrologer SK Abid, one of the leading astrologers in Kolkata, has shared some intriguing facts that define the theory of nightmares through planetary imprints.

Let’s get started….

Astrological Insight on Nightmare

Your birth chart has answers to each of your problems, and the nightmares are not an expectation. However, not only the planetary placement in your chart but also transits, retrogression, and aspect trigger the fear and anxiety in our subconscious mind, and they reflect through our unsettling dreams. It is also believed that nightmares are the signs or signals of upcoming upheavals or the unsolved issues haunting your brain unknowingly.

Nightmare & Planetary Influences

Moon: The Moon reflects our mind. It is directly associated with your emotional bodies, fear, and anxiety. If the Moon is placed in the 12th house and it is debilitated here or is under the influence of Rahu or Saturn, it might get you frequent vivid dreams, including nightmares. The placement of the Moon in the 12th house also causes it.

Rahu: If Rahu is placed in the 12th house, the house of our subconsciousness, and it is conjunct with Mars, Mercury, Moon, or Saturn here, it disrupts the quality of your sleep with nightmares.

Mercury: Mercury is our intellect, and it rules over our nervous system. Thus, the affliction of Mercury with Saturn, weak Moon, Rahu, or Ketu results in vivid and unsettling nightmares.

Saturn: Saturn provides phobias, restrictions to your freedom, emotion, and mind, and a burden of responsibilities that our mind and body cannot always bear. These suppressed emotions and desires are stored in our subconscious mind, and we can meet them through our vivid dreams, which are not favorable all the time and are called nightmares.

Houses in the Birth Chart Responsible for Nightmare

The 9th and the 12th houses are also associated with a dream or a nightmare. If one of these houses or both come under the influence of malefic planets like Saturn, Ketu, Rahu, Mars, or an afflicted/debilitated Moon, the native will suffer from frequent nightmares and jolting shakes at midnight.

Lunar Phases and Nightmares

Akin to malefic planets and their connection with the weak/afflicted 12th house, Lunar Phases also cause nightmares. Natives who are born with a weak Moon suffer a lot from the ups and downs of moods and emotional restlessness during the full moon and new moon, and these potential ebbs and flows of emotions result in vivid and bewildered nightmares.

Besides, the affliction of the 3rd house or the 3rd lord also triggers the chances of having frequent nightmares.

Finally

We cannot change the planetary imprint or their motion. But we can change our thinking patterns with a healthy lifestyle and a peaceful mind. So, it will be good if you try to identify or decode the pattern of your dreams rather than being afraid.
