Let me give you some insight on this Eighth House and related Planets from

‘POORVA PARASARYAM’ – a text compiled from “Paladeepikaâ€; “Sarvatha

Chindamaniâ€; “Bruhath Jathakaâ€; “Krisheeyamâ€; “Jaimini Suthramâ€;

“Sripati Paddadhiâ€; “Vakpatiâ€; “Gargiâ€; “Saraavaliâ€;

“Bhadhanarayanâ€; “Mahendranâ€;

“Gnana Deepikaâ€; “Prasna Margam†and “Rathina Malaâ€.

 

WITH 8TH HOUSE BHAVA, HOW WE CAN DECIDE THE NATAL’S CHARACTER AND HIS/HER

ACTIONS: 

 

If any Planet, under the shadow of Sun (either Sun occupies with that Planet or

in its’ ‘Drusti’ -7th look- or in LEO – owned by Sun), becomes weak –

‘asthanga’ –in this 8th House, to cause : constant eye trouble, short

period of life, discarded by all near and dear in the family.

 

Born with Sun positioned in 8th House(being any other house other than above),

the Natal will have a charming face to attract one and all, desire to cause

unnecessary gossip to invite/ create troubles, always depressed, very smart in

thinking, with pleasant attire, having stomach problems, and slim in body

structure.

 

Born with waning Moon positioned in 8th House, the Natal will have poor stretch

of life, whereas with waxing moon there, will be philanthropist, feeding poor,

ready to face adversaries intelligently.

 

Born with Mars positioned in 8th House, the Natal will be strong in physical

build and constitution, short stretch of life span, peculiar unpleasant

personality, doing unsocial acts, having mischievous children, and always suffer

for many things in life.  When that Mars is in 8th House, if he is born with

Moon in Gemini – Mithun  Rasi- or as Lagna, could prefer simple attire, be

wealthy, a leader of a group, proficient in a field of knowledge, popular  in

society, strong in health with long stretch of life,  and be a  person to make

his family proud of him/her.

 

Born with Mercury positioned in 8th House, the Natal will be equal to a king,

commander of an army/group of followers, be rich with assets, with humility,

owner of many dwellings, brave and shrewd leader.

 

Born with Jupiter positioned in 8th House, the Natal will be defeated by enemies

at all times how cleaver he should be, lives long years, serving others, lazy,

blaming his/her own tribes and religious believers, admonished by near and same

society of people, always tempted to enjoy sex with those below his/her status,

and have clandestinely developed  relationships. Whereas, if that Jupiter

occupies 8th House from Lagna, and that house is its ‘malefic house’ –

Capricorn – Makara – and in first 5º, that person will be extraordinarily

recognized as an intelligent person in his field as well as in general and live

a long life to serve his/her society.  This includes those born in Gemini –

Mithuna- Lagna also .

 

Born with Venus positioned in 8th House, the Natal will be enjoying extreme

luxury in every walk of life, born rich, leader of a group like a king, and 

always pleasant all his/her life.

 

Born with Saturn positioned in 8th House, the Natal will suffer from sickness,

some time in life, related to bones, piles, always under stress with sufferings,

facing failures in any effort taken at any time, be  poor, and inviting

unnecessary quarrels always.

 

Born with Rahu positioned in 8th House, the Natal will make everyone imparted

with his prowess and treasure of excellence in knowledge in many things, defects

in any one part of body, void of successors – children, always clean in

thinking and acts, having skin ailments, loose bowels, workaholic, easy to lose

of temper, committing inadvertent errors to become a culprit, delay attitude,

and sited to do any work.

 

Born with Ketu positioned in 8th House, the Natal will be have some defective

physical conditions, always striving hard yet poor, a desire to thieve or posses

in unethical methods grabbing those belonging to others, and discarded by all.

 

It should be noted that these are General, and the placement of 8th house, the

related Planets casting ‘drushty’ – look – on that house and position of

Sun and Moon, and other ‘conditions’ before reaching

‘interpretations’.  Also, Desha, Bukti and other related matters are to be

studied.   Further, ‘Gochara’ – transit – positions of Planets on the

day of study or to the related time of assessment become very important in

‘balancing’ the ‘results’.

 

Conclusion:  8th house is only a ‘pointer’ and the talent in

interpretations after proper ‘balancing’ will give the real ‘directions’

for ‘interpretations’.

 

My next , in continuation of this article, will give the method to access the

results with reference to this house for ‘predictions’.

 

Wish you all a  very happy new year 2010 with plenty and prosperity.
