Your 8th house, your 8th Lord, and your Transformation
Everybody wants a hassle-free, peaceful, and easy life, and that’s not a fault. Being an astrologer and a bit aware of the future, I also don’t want to go through any turbulence in my life or in anyone connected to my life. A seamless existence is the desire, yet impossible.
As we are in these three dimensions, we encounter issues on a daily basis. Not only humans, but we also see whomever we call gods, deities, or angels; they have also gone through crises, struggles, and sorrows. Being a monotheist who doesn’t follow any religion, I can see that the sufferings of Krishna, Jesus, or even the prophet Nabi were so intense, and many times they failed in their lives. Sometimes I feel that earth itself is hell, where God put us through a blazing furnace of trials, temptations, or suffering for some unknown purpose, and we have to prove our credibility to be faithful, trustworthy, or the best.
When you are an astrologer, it is a benefit as well as a drawback, as you know what karma led you towards the path of happiness or suffering. This deep and intense stream of divine knowledge even throws light on your Sanchit karma, which we collected in our past lives and which is the central theme of Vedic astrology. It says we get the results of those karmas that we did in the past. There is no point in being very happy or upset looking at the result, as the karma in the present life also matters.
In understanding our plight through the births, the role of the 8th house is very important. It is one of the durstana houses, which is also known as trika sthana, indicating our longevity, so the 8th house is known as Ayu stana. The 6th house indicates diseases, but it also indicates the nature of diseases and their diagnosis, while the 8th house indicates how long the diseases will last. If the 8th Lord has an affliction, it may indicate long-lasting medication.
The 8th house indicates landed properties, like ancestral property, as it is the 7th from the 2nd house of the family. If the 8th house makes a connection with the 2nd house through placement, aspect, and conjunction, the natives get the right to acquire the family property. The 8th house indicates sudden gains as well as losses. If the 8th house has a very good connection with the 11th house, the native gets sudden gains, or if the 8th lord has a bad connection with the 11th house, the native gets sudden losses. The 8th house indicates lottery, sufferings, sorrow, accidents, jewels, mines, gems, petroleum products, marine products, financial gains from spouses or in-laws, shared resources, partnerships, mantra, tantra, occult, and the 8th house is a very mysterious house. If your 8th house is strong, you will be very good at astrology.
Saturn is the karaka for the 8th house, as it indicates long-term gains. If you want any long-term gains, that should be connected to Saturn.
When the 8th Lord is connected to Lagna, that means these natives always carry their past birth debt with them. Life is always full of ups and downs for them, so life becomes an acid test for them. At the same time, they will come out of the test, as there is a divine touch of longevity attached to their lives. However, the PAC of the 8th Lord and houses also matter. The 8th Lord should not be afflicted.
When the lagna lord and 8th lord have a connection, the native will lack confidence as the 8th house is beneath the horizon and his personality is in the dungeon, and it will take time to resurrect. This will be visible during the 8th Lord Dasa, or Antardasa. These people will 100% learn occult, and they will be very good at it if Mars is connected to the 5th house, the 5th Lord, Mercury, or Jupiter.
Without a good 8th house, no one can become a good astrologer. If the 8th Lord is afflicted, you become one of those astrologers who extract money in the name of fake offers like pooja and gemstones, and you will give 100% accurate results. You will know astrology, but you will never understand the logical and reasoning factors connected to astrology. For you, astrology is nothing but a game of some devidevtas, and they will descend from an unknown realm to delete your issues. If you want to become a good astrologer, you must know how the human mind works, what psychology is, and what behavioral management is.
When the 2nd and 8th lords have a good connection, the natives will like to have a healthy diet. Otherwise, it shows you are a glutton whose diet is enough to kill you. Drug addicts and alcoholics also come with this planetary placement.
If the 8th Lord is well connected to the other houses, it will bring blessings. That’s the tricky part of astrology: we look at the 8th house and the 8th lord as total negative houses, but how they are placed actually matters.
Suppose the 8th house has a good connection with the 4th house, or lord. You acquire family property and a good house with the blessing of your mother. That means you have had very good karma in your past life with the woman who is your mother at your present birth. That’s why we suggest remedies like donating widows and older women for many cases when struggles are reflecting through the 6th and 8th houses. FYI, that doesn’t delete your bad karma, but it will give you the confidence to move forward. It improves your mental strength, and of course, the blessings of the unprivileged will work in your life if you do it selflessly; otherwise, you will still be in the same place where you started.
When the 8th Lord is afflicted, you burn with your sexual desires, and at the same time, you can be the best celibate in your country or in the world. This celibacy will make you a very strong occultist, as you are converting these sexual energies into powerful occult energy, and your predictions will be spot on. Otherwise, you share your pineal gland energy with Tom, Dick, and Harry, and you finally land in STD, and STDs are the prime forte of the 8th house.
The 8th lord forms Virpreeta harsh, Sarla, and Vimala yoga when it goes to the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses, which will be operative in the mahadasa and antardasa of the 8th lord.
Even though it is unjustifiable to say the 8th Lord is bad, it will not be true to say that the 8th Lord in any house will be extremely good without checking the horoscope. Wherever the 8th Lord goes, it creates some challenges before you get the benefits promised by the horoscope. For example, the placement of the 8th Lord in the 9th House is good as well as bad. The good side is that this person will be very good in his spiritual life, but his luck will be unstable.
If the 8th Lord is making a connection with the 5th House, it shows the native will be very good at understanding child psychology, and at the same time, he will have childbirth issues.
The end note is you have some past birth karma connected to the 8th house matters, so you need patience and high discretion while dealing with 8th house. If you are runninbg through the dasa of the 8th lord, you need to understand, your time for transformation can come, rest depend upon your discreetion.
