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

from `POORVA PARASARYAM' – a text compiled from

" Phaladeepika " ; " Sarvatha Chintamani " ; " Bruhath

Jathaka " ; " Krisheeyam " ; " Jaimini Suthram " ;

" Sripati Paddhathi " ; " Vakpati " ; " Gargi " ;

" Saraavali " ; " Badhanarayana " ; " Mahendra " ;

" Gnana Deepika " ; " Prasna Margam " and " Rathina

Mala " .

 

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 it's' `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 – Mithuna 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, Bhukti 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.
