The Moon, the Soul
The moon is considered to be the soul of the horoscope in astrology, and when the moon becomes dark, then it is understood what will be the condition of the human mind. It is also said that the moon reflects the human mind. The sun in astrology is fire and the moon is water, the elements of both the two celestial bodies are different. The human body mostly consists of water. As moon is in the same house with the Sun, the Moon has no power of its own.
The effects of Amavasya Dosha
The moon has its full effect on human mind and brain. Moon controls them. When the moon becomes weak, the person fails to comprehend anything and mostly suffers from the mental ailments or he does not make out what to do and what not. He cannot understand what is going around him.
In human body and brain, the water element may increase or decreases to some extent. Both the conditions are detrimental to health. The mind goes on wandering without any specific aim or purpose. Bad thoughts appear and depart every now and then. Illusions, violent ideation, negative thoughts flash in mind. Some uncanny thoughts also appear on the mental plane and instill fears and phobias.
Moon and Human Mind
If the human being has no control over the mind, thoughts trouble the mind a lot. It is the impact of the very Amavasya Dosha that human mind faces tremendous turbulence. Due to this dosha all kinds of thoughts keep rising in the mind. If headache comes frequently for continuously a few days, then some bad thoughts appear and create panic. But as a matter of fact it is actually mere headache of sinus or something ocular. Sometimes chest pain due to some gas or other reasons mimics heart attack. The tormented man is so disturbed that it is hard to come over and day after day the person engulfs in chronic fear. It becomes very hard to get out of it; such negative thoughts come due to bad impact on moon.

Unprecedented Things on the Offing
Many times people fail to understand what is going on in their lives. The unexpected upheavals make the humans very upset. Kundli is the guiding chart of human beings. It tells about the past, present and future and, tells them too whether some unfavorable things are likely to happen in the near future.
As human lives are linked to the celestial bodies that shape them every day, humans are nothing but puppets at the hands of these celestial bodies. Beside the place, time and date of birth, the celestial bodies and their specific positions at the time of their birth also affect the lives. According to Vedic astrology, when unfavorable conditions between the planets arise, then it is thought that there is a defect in the horoscope. If there are inauspicious planets in 12 houses in the horoscope, they create inauspicious yogas.
What the Scriptures Say
According to the various scriptures, the ancestors visit their homes, every Amavasya – so it is the duty of every person to begin charity – as much as he can. Similarly there are other remedies mentioned in various ancient scriptures to evade the Amavasya Dosha. There are proficient persons or astrologers who can lead the inflicted person with such malady.
To Conclude
In modern times people are science oriented and rest in the jet age. But still humans when fall in some type of mysterious problems and fail to find the way to come out, they have no other way than to belief in something beyond human knowledge. Amavasya Dosha is one such problem that makes the human lives a hell and snatches all type of glee and happiness from mind.
