According to Vedic astrology, Moon is debilitated in a horoscope when it is placed in the sign of Scorpio, which in simple words means that Moon becomes the weakest when placed in Scorpio compared to its placement in all the other signs. Debilitated Moon is associated with many bad things by many astrologers and it is believed by a number of astrologers that debilitated Moon always works negatively in a horoscope and it brings bad results for the native under its influence. This is not the case in actual practice and debilitated Moon can work positively as well as negatively in a horoscope depending on the other deciding factors and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of a native under consideration.
The word debilitated simply relates to the strength of Moon in a horoscope and it doesn’t relate to the nature of Moon in a horoscope. Accordingly debilitated Moon placed in different houses of a horoscope can give benefic as well as malefic results depending on the nature of Moon as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscope. We will now discuss some of these benefic as well as malefic effects which can be experienced when debilitated Moon is placed in different houses of a horoscope. While discussing some of these effects, it should be noted that due to its debilitation, Moon alone generally doesn’t provide strong positive or negative results and it needs to be supported by other positive or negative planets in order to produce such results. Hence we will discuss good or bad results given by debilitated Moon in combination with other positive or negative planets in a horoscope.

Such benefic debilitated Moon can especially prove good for the professional sphere of the native due to which the natives under its impact may engage in a number of professional spheres and they may achieve success through them. Some of these natives may study up to high levels of academic education and they may become teachers in their subject of specialization, after completing their studies.
For example, if benefic debilitated Moon is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with benefic Saturn, benefic Mars is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries and benefic debilitated Mercury is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces, the native may become a teacher.

At the same time, if benefic Ketu is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, Rahu is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer and benefic Sun is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius when debilitated Moon and other planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the equation may become much better.

The combined effect of such debilitated Moon and other benefic planets may bend the native towards the subject of science or mathematics and hence the native may become a teacher in one of these subjects.

The native blessed by such benefic debilitated Moon and all other planets mentioned in this example may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in police force by means of success in some competitive exams held for selection in police force. This is due to the fact that the presence of benefic Mars in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio can cancel the debilitation status of Moon and together these two planets may form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the horoscope, which may bless the native with a post of high authority in government. Hence the native blessed by such debilitated Moon and other benefic planets may become a high authority police officer and he may achieve very good amount of success, recognition and growth through this field of profession.

Some other natives under the impact of malefic debilitated Moon in the first house of their horoscopes may have to suffer from serious problems after their marriages and they may even have to face broken marriages.
For example, if malefic debilitated Moon is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with malefic Mars; and a malefic combination of Sun and Venus is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius, the native may have to suffer from serious problems in his marriage. Such malefic combination can prove even worse in case it happens to be in the horoscope of a female native and she may have to suffer even more through her marriage. The female native under the effect of such malefic debilitated Moon and other malefic planets may have to witness serious arguments, disputes and verbal fights with her husband. At the same time, if malefic Jupiter is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries and malefic Saturn is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius, the equation may become much more negative.
The female native under the effect of such malefic debilitated Moon and other malefic planets may get married to an immoral and offensive person and she may have to suffer a lot through her marriage. The husband of such female may not only snatch a big part of her income, but he may also abuse her verbally as well as physically.
