Frequently asked questions about Vish Yoga
What forms Vish Yoga?
The Moon and Saturn conjunct in the same sign or in mutual aspect. Vish means poison, which is a heavy name for what is essentially Saturn's restriction falling on the Moon's emotional nature - showing as low moods, worry, overthinking and slow starts.
Is it as bad as the name suggests?
No, and the name does real harm here. It is a caution pattern, not a curse, and the Moon-Saturn contact is common. Many people with it are simply serious, careful and prone to worry - traits, not afflictions. Fear-based readings of this yoga are widespread and worth ignoring.
Does it cause depression?
The tradition associates it with low mood and a heavy mind, and that is worth taking seriously as a prompt to look after your mental health. But a chart cannot diagnose anything, and if you are struggling, please speak to a doctor or a mental health professional. Astrology is not a substitute for that.
What eases it?
Calm routine, regular sleep and meditation address the actual mechanism, which is an unsettled mind under pressure. The traditional side is the Saturn and Moon observances, including honouring Shani. Its intensity varies with the strength of both planets and the running dasha.
Are there other definitions of it?
Yes. Some texts also count the Moon placed in Saturn's nakshatra, or a weak waning Moon, as forming Vish Yoga. This calculator checks the classical Moon-Saturn conjunction or aspect. If another astrologer says you have it and this does not, the definition used is probably the difference. This is Moon with Saturn, not a named Raja Yoga. A related caution pattern is Shakata Yoga; status combinations are on Raj Yog in Kundli, and the birth Panchang yoga is Janma Yoga.
What is Vish Yoga?
Vish Yoga (also spelt Visha, meaning "poison") forms when the Moon and Saturn are conjunct in the same sign or aspect each other. The Moon rules the mind and emotions, while Saturn brings restriction, delay and seriousness - so their link can weigh on the mind, showing as low moods, worry, overthinking and a slow, obstacle-strewn start in some areas of life.
It is a caution pattern, not a curse. Its intensity depends on the strength of the Moon and Saturn, the houses involved and the running Dasha. Calm routines, patience, and Saturn/Moon remedies (such as honouring Shani and steadying the mind through meditation) noticeably ease its effect. Some texts also count the Moon in Saturn's constellation or a weak waning Moon; this tool checks the classical Moon–Saturn link.
Enter exact birth details so the link is precise, and read Vish within the whole chart. A serious mind that learns endurance is the constructive reading; isolation and despair are what remedies and support are meant to prevent. Benefic aspects on the Moon already lighten the weight of this yoga. Honour Shani, steady the Moon, and keep social support close during heavy Dashas. A serious, enduring mind is the gift; untreated isolation is the risk this caution pattern is meant to warn against early.
Vish Yoga is this combination on its own page, not a full chart and not a neighbour yoga with a similar name. Compare it with Shakata Yoga, Gaja Kesari Yoga Checker and Kemadruma Yoga Checker. The natal map those yogas sit on is the Kundli Maker.
