If the 8th lord is weak or placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th from Navamsa Lagna, the intensity of misfortune is reduced.

If the 8th lord is severely afflicted the native will suffer bodily complaints such as disease and disfiguration. His constitution will be weak and he will have no bodily comforts. He will be the target of the displeasure of his superiors and higher-ups. Trouble from Government will cause him worries.

2. In the Second House -The lord of the 8th house in conjunction with the 2nd lord in the 2nd house brings in troubles and problems of all sorts. The native suffers from eye and tooth troubles.

3. In the Third House : If the lord of the 8th house combines with the lord of the 3rd in the 3rd, the third house significations suffer. The native’s ears may cause problems or he may go deaf. Misunderstandings will crop up with brothers and sisters leading to quarrels. The native will be beset by all sorts of fears and mental anguish. He may imagine things and suffer from hallucinations. He may involve himself in debts and get into trouble thereby.

If malefics afflict the 8th lord in the 3rd with the 3rd lord, the sufferings of the native will be unbearable. But if the 8th lord combines with the 6th or 12th lords, benefic results may come by. He may get a monetary windfall through writing or through the agency of a co born.

4. In the Fourth House :- If the lord of the 8th house joins the 4th lord in the 4th house, the native’s mental peace will be shattered Domestic bickerings, financial and other problems will increase.

If the 8th lord is in the 6th, 12th or 8th from Navamsa Lagna, the evil results are greatly mitigated. But if fortified in a kendra (quadrant) or trikona (trine), the evil results are intensified.

Since the 5th house is the buddhisthana, the native may also suffer nervous debility or breakdown or mental aberration. When the 9th lord conjoins the 8th lord in the 5th house and the Lagna lord is debilitated, the native has neither knowledge nor wealth; he is hostile, lustful and ill-temprered. He tends to be crafty, reviles God and pious men and is himself treated with contempt by his wife and children.

6. In the Sixth House —If the lord of the 8th house joins the 6th lord in the 6th house, a Rajayoga results. Material affluence, fame and acquisition of objects desired are the good results. But because the 6th house is the house of disease the native may suffer ill-health.

If afflicted, the native suffers loss of money through theft and trouble through courts and the police. The evil is intensified if the 8th lord is in a kendra or trikona. The native’s maternal uncle may suffer much trouble. If the 6th lord is fortified, he is able to overcome all his troubles and emerge victor. No attempts made by his ill-wishers and enemies to harm him will succeed.

7. In the Seventh House : The lord of the 8th house placed in the 7th house with the 7th lord curtails longevity. The native’s wife may suffer ill-health. If afflicted, the native will also suffer from disease. He may go abroad where he will meet with ill-health and problems.

If the 7th and 8th lords are strong, the native will undertake foreign journeys on diplomatic missions and distinguish himself.

8. In the Eighth House .-If the lord of the 8th house occupies the 8th house in strength, the native lives long enjoying happiness. He will acquire lands, conveyance, power and position through the merit acquired in former lives.

His friends and kinsmen may desert him while his superiors will find fault with him. If the 8th lord is in the 6th, 8th or 12th from Navamsa Lagna, the evil results will be greatly reduced.

10. In the Tenth House : If the lord of the 8th house is in the 10th house with the 10th lord, the native has slow advancement in career. He faces obstacles and impediments in his activities.

In the appropriate period he may be superseded by his subordinates and his merit may go unnoticed. He may resort to deceit and unrighteous means to gain his ends. His thinking will be clouded and his actions will invite the wrath of the government or the law. He may suffer poverty.

If the 2nd lord is also afflicted and joins the 8th lord, his reputation may suffer due to involvement in huge debts and inability to repay them. If the 8th lord is placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th from Navamsa Lagna, the intensity of the evil is greatly reduced. The 8th lord in the 10th may also confer unexpected gains due to the death of the superiors or elders.

11. In the Eleventh House :- If the lord of the 8th house combines with the 11th lord in the 11 th house, there may be trouble to close friends. Elder brother may pass through a difficult time. Relations with him will be strained and troubled. Or the elder brother may cause anguish to the native and his family by his unscrupulous behaviour and conduct.

Business may suffer losses and run into debts. If benefic planets influence the combinations there will be troubles but the native gets help from friends and elder brother to overcome them. Afflictions will aggravate the malefic results.

12. In the Twelfth House .—The position of the 8th lord in the 12th house with the 12th lord gives rise to a Rajayoga. If benefics join the 8th lord, unfavourable results may be expected. Treachery of friends will result in many problems and grief. Unexpected expenditure will arise and there may be pecuniary losses.

If the 8th lord is in the 12th house and the 12th lord is favourably placed in a trine or quadrant, the native will gain in religious learning and piety. Some post or seat of authority may be thrust on him with all its attendant paraphernalia. If afflicted by malefics, the native may resort to vicious acts clandestinely. Such acts would include rape, adultery, counterfeiting of money (the 12th house is the house of secrecy end deceit. The 8th house signifies sudden gains of money) and smuggling activities.

These results are general. They must be modified on the strength of the Ascendant, the Moon and Dasas in operation.

Where results pertain to criminal acts or unrighteous acts, the predictions must be made only after taking into account the strength of the Ascendant, the Moon and the 10th house (Karmasthana).

If these factors are favuorably disposed, the native may be tempted to act in a certain manner but he will overcome the temptation and control himself. The act may be nipped at the state of mind and not allowed to manifest itself in action in such a case.

6. Venus :-The position of Venus in the 8th gives many blessings. The native will come by much wealth. He will live a life of comfort and possess all the conveniences for such life. The native’s mother may suffer danger. The native himself may meet with emotional disappointments early in life. As a consequence he may resort to a life of piety in later life.

If afflicted by malefic planets, his children will cause him pain and grief. The native will be dishonest and cruel. When Saturn is in the 8th with Mars, Rahu is in Lagna and Gulika occupies a trine, the native suffers disease in his generative organs. If the Moon joins Saturn in the 8th, the result is flatulence and spleen troubles.

8. Rahu :—The native will suffer from public censure and humiliation. He will be troubled by many ailments. He will be vicious, quarrelsome and unscrupulous. If the Moon conjoins with a malefic planet and Rahu is in the 8th, 12th or 5th house, the native will suffer from mental disorders.

The 8th house rules suffering and afflictions here cause chronic or incurable bodily or mental diseases. Saturn in the 8th with a malefic planet or Rahu in the Lagna causes stomach complaints.

If the Lagna is aspected by a malefic planet, the 8th lord is weak and the 8th house is aspected or occupied by Saturn, it results in a disease that will prevent the intake of food.

Depending upon the exact nature of affliction, the disease may take the form of minor ailments like severe colds or mumps or be something serious like cancer.

Chart No. 1- The Eighth House : In this chart Cancer is aspected by 9th lord Sun, 6th and 11th lord Venus and 7th and 10th lord Mercury.

The Eighth Lord : The Moon is 8th lord in the 10th with 2nd and 3rd lord.

Saturn- Ayushkaraka : Saturn occupies the 10th with 8th lord Moon. He has exchanged signs with 7th and 10th lord Mercury.

Considered from the Moon : The 8th house is occupied by 8th lord Mars and aspected by 7th lord Jupiter. The 8th lord being Mars himself is in his own sign in the 8th house.

Conclusion: The Lagna lord Jupiter is powerful in the 11 th house but subject to a papakartari yoga caused by Rahu and Saturn, while the 8th lord Moon occupies a kendra. The Lagna lord and all the benefics are in Panaparas (2, 5, 8, 11) or succeedent houses indicating Madhyayu.

Death came about in Sun Bhukti, Jupiter Dasa. Jupiter is a strong maraka because he owns the 7th from the Moon, occupies the 2nd from the Moon and is subject to a papakartari yoga.

In Navamsa, he owns the 7th from the Moon. The Sun, Bhukti lord, occupies the 2nd house with 7th lord Mercury. In Navamsa also, he is in the 2nd house.

Chart No. 2.— The Eighth House : It is occupied by Rahu and aspected by Lagna and 10th lord Jupiter.

The Eighth Lord : Venus is well placed as 8th lord in the 11th house.

Ayushkaraka : Saturn is in the 3rd house aspected by 2nd and 9th lord Mars and has exchanged signs with 3rd lord Venus.

Considered from the Moon: The 8th house is occupied by Ketu and subject to papakartari yoga caused by the Sun and Saturn. The Moon-sign lord Mercury and 8th lord Mars conjoin in the 6th house aspected by 7th lord Jupiter.

Conclusion : The Lagna lord Jupiter is strong in a kendra, the 8th lord Venus is also favourably disposed in the 11th and Ayushkaraka Saturn is beneficially situated in the 3rd house, which factors favour long span of life. But Lagna is hemmed between malefics Mars and Ketu.

So also is the 8th house from the Moon while the Sun, a malefic, occupies Lagna indicating medium span of life. Death took place in Saturn Dasa, Mars Bhukti. Saturn occupies the 3rd house aspected by 2nd lord Mars. Bhukti lord Mars is a malefic being the 2nd lord and having joined 7th lord Mercury. Mars is therefore a maraka.
