In astrology, planets never create problems suddenly. They first give signals through emotions, thoughts, relationships, and life situations. When a planet becomes weak or afflicted in your birth chart or during a challenging planetary period (Dasha), its effects start appearing in daily life.
As an astrologer, I always tell my clients: Planets warn before they test.
Let us understand these warning signs planet by planet.
Sun – Confidence & Self-Identity
When the Sun is weak or disturbed:
Constant self-doubt
Lack of confidence
Ego issues
Problems with father or authority figures
Career recognition gets delayed
Astrological insight:
The Sun represents your soul, confidence, and leadership. When it is unhappy, you struggle to believe in yourself.
Moon – Mind & Emotions
When the Moon is afflicted:
Mood swings
Emotional instability
Overthinking
Frequent sadness or crying
Astrological insight:
The Moon controls your mind. A disturbed Moon creates emotional imbalance and mental stress.
Mars – Energy & Anger
When Mars is negative:
Anger issues
Frequent arguments
Aggressive behavior
Restlessness
Astrological insight:
Mars is your inner fire. When uncontrolled, it turns into anger and conflicts, especially in relationships.

Miscommunication
Saying the wrong thing at the wrong time
Business or work misunderstandings
Confusion in decision-making
