What is Depression? It is a state of mind in which a person doesn’t feel happy or good and gets upset many times without any apparent reason. Though there is no scientific evidence to support a direct link between astrology and depression, some people find meaning and guidance in exploring astrological influences. It is also important to remember that mental health conditions like depression are complex and influenced by a multitude of factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, life experiences, and environmental stressors.

However, some individuals utilize astrology for self-reflection and understanding their emotional tendencies. Here's how some might approach it:

Water Signs

In astrology, the Moon sign represents emotions, intuition, and reactions to the environment. Some believe water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are more sensitive and prone to mood swings, potentially making them more susceptible to feeling emotionally vulnerable. However, it's important to remember that individuals within each sign are unique, and attributing mental health challenges solely to a zodiac sign is inaccurate and potentially harmful.

Planets Responsible For Depression

Astrologically, the planet Moon represents ‘Mind.’ The moon receives all energy, both positive and negative. When things are going well in our lives, we all feel pleased, and when things are bad, we all clearly feel depressed. Mental disease may result from the Moon's alignment with other planets.

Depression may arise from a Moon in conjunction with Rahu, Ketu, and Saturn. A mental imbalance may result from weak Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter.

According to experts, when the Moon is in conjunction with Saturn, it might cause mental fatigue. Saturn represents constraint and anxiety, which creates distance whereas the moon represents contentment and mental tranquilly. When Saturn and the Moon align, one becomes depressed because they place additional burdens, responsibilities, and feelings of heaviness on mental side. 

Planetary Aspects

Astrologers might analyze placements and interactions between planets in a birth chart to identify potential challenges or emotional blockages. However, interpreting these aspects in relation to depression requires significant expertise and should not be used as a diagnostic tool.

According to astrology, it is believed that placement of Jupiter at good place saves a person from depression and gives ray of hope and inspiration in life. So, if you want happiness in life you should try to respect Jupiter. Not only this, one should also accept and learn that everything in life cannot be achieved. 

It's important to emphasize that depression is a serious mental health condition that requires professional diagnosis and treatment. If someone is experiencing symptoms of depression, please seek help from a qualified mental health professional.

Astrology should not be used as a substitute for professional mental healthcare. While it can offer some individuals a framework for self-exploration, it cannot diagnose or treat depression.
