What the Moon in Shatabhisha favors
Shatabhisha literally means 'hundred healers' — the mansion of unconventional healing and situations where a fresh diagnostic eye is needed. Rahu-ruled, presided by Varuna; the energy is investigative and willing to go outside convention. Favorable for: medical second opinions, alternative therapies, research, solo deep-dives, astrology and diagnostic work, investigating long-running mysteries. Less favorable for: consensus-building or situations where orthodoxy is the right answer. If a problem has resisted standard approaches, this is the mansion to try something different.
