How it is formed
A Deva-Rakshasa or Manushya-Rakshasa gana combination.
Effects
Traditionally it is linked with temperament clashes between partners. The intensity changes with the signs, aspects and the dasha running.
Planets involved
- Moon (Chandra) - mind and emotions, mother and peace at home; mahadasha of 10 years.
What must be checked
Before any conclusion, look at the full chart rather than gana alone. The label alone says little about how a dosha actually works in a chart.
What helps
- Get the full chart checked before acting on the label alone
- Keep effort and practical steps going - astrology shows timing, effort delivers results
- Avoid starting major ventures in the most sensitive sub-period
- Follow simple remedies consistently rather than costly one-off pujas
Remedy for the main planet
- Chant Om Chandraya Namah 108 times on Monday.
- Give charity linked to Moon on Monday - to someone who genuinely needs it.
- Gemstone: Pearl (Moti) - only if Moon is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
- Keep the habits of the planet: sleep on time, care for your mother, drink enough water.
Frequently asked questions

Is Gan Dosha permanent?
Its effects are strongest in the related dasha and transits; they are not constant through life.
Is this effect the same for everyone?
No. The sign, the aspects on the planet, its house lordship for your Lagna and the running dasha all change the result. Treat this page as a general guide.
Do I need a remedy for this?
Only if the placement is actually troubling you and the chart confirms it. Many placements need no remedy at all.
