Which sign falls in the 7th house depends on the lagna, and the sign changes Moon's strength there. For a Scorpio (Vrishchika) lagna this house holds Taurus (Vrishabha), where Moon is exalted; for a Taurus (Vrishabha) lagna it holds Scorpio (Vrishchika), where it is debilitated.

Moon mahadasha runs 10 years. This placement speaks most clearly then — in Moon's own mahadasha, in its antardashas inside other mahadashas, and in the dasha of the lord of the 7th house. Saturn's and Jupiter's transits over this house, or over the planet itself, wake it too.
Moon mahadasha: what its 10 years bring · See your own dasha — the dasha calculator
- Chant the Moon mantra: Om Shraam Shreem Shraum Sah Chandraya Namah. Sit facing east after sunrise — Monday is the strongest day for it. Chant 3 malas a day (324 repetitions), keeping count on a 108-bead mala. Keep it up for 40 days without a break — that completes the traditional 11,000.
- Give a Moon donation. Give rice, milk, white cloth on Monday, before noon. Offer it to an elderly woman or a mother figure, or to anyone in genuine need. Give quietly, in person, without expecting thanks.
- Daily practice for Moon. Respect your mother; keep silver in the house. Keep it up every day for 40 days — consistency is the remedy.
