Debilitated Venus in Eighth House
When debilitated Venus is placed in the eighth house in a horoscope, Aquarius rises in the ascendant. Debilitated Venus is benefic in the eighth house in many cases though it may turn malefic in some cases. This may happen when Venus is afflicted by malefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of malefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Venus may become more malefic.
Since Venus is weak due to debilitation, it may become easy for malefic planets to add negativity to Venus. If debilitated Venus is afflicted by one or more than one malefic planet in the eighth house, it may turn significantly or highly malefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such debilitated Venus can also turn it malefic in some cases, when such theme is malefic. The concept of benefic planets turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.

If Moon is placed in the twelfth house in Capricorn and benefic Mars is placed in the ninth house in Libra with Jupiter, the equation may become better. The overall horoscope may become positive and strong enough to handle the energy of the sixth as well as eighth house. Hence Moon may form Vipreet Rajyoga in the twelfth house whereas Mercury may form this yoga in the sixth house. In this case, the native may get married to a woman who may belong to a very rich as well as influential family, belonging to a foreign country. The native may settle abroad and he may enjoy a good marriage.

In horoscopes with Aquarius ascendant, Venus rules the fourth and ninth house. Hence it represents mother as well as father. Since it is very weak and placed in a difficult house, the native may witness bad results related to his mother and/or father, depending on his overall horoscope.

In this case, the native may lose his mother and/or father to death, before his age of 25 or 20 years.
If Saturn as well as Mars is placed in the eighth house in Virgo with Venus and Moon, the equation may become more troublesome. Saturn is partly malefic in horoscopes with Aquarius ascendant. Hence Venus may become duly malefic, Saturn as well as Mars may become significantly malefic, Moon may become highly malefic and the overall combination in the eighth house may become duly malefic. Moon being the general signifier of mother, Sun being the general signifier of father and Saturn being the specific signifier of native’s lifespan (it rules the first house), are all troubled. In this case, the native may die along with his mother and father in an accident, or the entire family may be murdered/killed; before natives age of 15.
