I have been feeling anxious and depressed — what does my chart say?

Mental health challenges are increasingly recognised in astrological analysis. Ba Zi examines whether your Day Master is under excessive pressure from conflicting elements — a Wood Day Master surrounded by Metal can manifest as anxiety and feeling constantly under threat. Western Astrology looks at Neptune (confusion, dissolution), Saturn (depression, heaviness), and Chiron (wounds) transits to your personal planets. Jyotish examines the Moon (mind and emotions) and its afflictions — Moon conjunct Rahu or Ketu often correlates with anxiety and mental turbulence. Zi Wei Dou Shu looks at the Mind Palace (福德宮) for stars that indicate mental and emotional wellbeing.
