Eighth house is a very special, the most complex, the most difficult to understand and one of the most resourceful houses of a horoscope and hence the study of this house needs special attention. Whenever a planet whether benefic or malefic is placed in the eighth house of a horoscope, the working nature, strength and effects of such planet should be studied very carefully as the planets placed in the eighth house of a horoscope generally carry much more significance than the planets placed in the other houses of the same horoscope. Likewise the placement of debilitated Saturn in the eighth house of a horoscope carries great importance as it can give some very significant good or bad results to the native under its influence, depending on its working nature and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope in question.
Apart from being a very special house in the horoscope, the energy of the eighth house is undoubtedly the most difficult to channelize for any planet, which means that even a positive planet placed in this house of a horoscope may not be able to fully channelize the energy of this house. It means that even a positive planet placed in the eighth house of a horoscope may not bless the native with all the benefits that it is capable of blessing, as it may not be able to work in a hundred percent manner when placed in the eighth house of a horoscope. Hence many benefic planets may not feel comfortable when placed in the eighth house of a horoscope and accordingly they may only release some of the good results contained by them.
Saturn on the other hand is much more comfortable with the energy of the eighth house and in fact, eighth house is one of the most favorite houses of Saturn in a horoscope. Many astrologers are of the view that Saturn only performs well in houses like the first house or the tenth house and it is not comfortable with the energy of the eighth house, but this is not true in actual practice. Whereas the placement of benefic Saturn in the first or the tenth house of a horoscope can certainly bless the native with top class power and authority when supported by other planets, this is not everything good that a native should be looking for. The presence of benefic Saturn in the eighth house of a horoscope can render some of the most beautiful results to the native, which may probably not be witnessed by the native if benefic Saturn is placed in any other house of a horoscope. Hence the placement of benefic debilitated Saturn in the eighth house of a horoscope needs special attention as it can bless the native with some exceptional results, depending on the overall tone of his horoscope.

Apart from these results, benefic debilitated Saturn placed in the eighth house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results related to marriage, profession, finances, health, fame, reputation and many other types of good results.

Some natives under the effect of benefic debilitated Saturn in the eighth house may become professional doctors, some of them may become engineers, some of these natives may become scientific researchers or analysts and some of these natives may engage in the field of law. Benefic debilitated Saturn in the eighth house can also bless the native with a post of power and authority in the house of government through job or through politics. Hence some natives under its impact may become police officers, some of them may become revenue officers, some others may become army officers and yet some other natives may achieve such authority through politics.

The combined effect of these benefic planets can bless the native with the post of a spiritual teacher or with some other post of authority in a spiritual organization and the native may achieve good amount of success, respect and authority through the field of spiritualism.
At the same time, if benefic Mars is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries along with benefic debilitated Saturn, benefic Mercury is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio and benefic Venus is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius along with benefic Sun, much more positive energy may be added to this horoscope. Benefic Mercury and Venus may add more strength to this horoscope and the addition of benefic Mars to the eighth house of this horoscope along with benefic debilitated Saturn may form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the horoscope. Benefic Mars being the lord of the sign Aries may cancel the debilitation status of Saturn and these two planets may form Neechbhang Rajyoga in the eighth house of this horoscope which may bless the native with very good results through the field of spiritualism, as indicated by the overall tone of this horoscope. As a result, the native under the combined effect of such benefic debilitated Saturn and all other benefic planets may become the head of a spiritual organization and he may earn very good amount of fame, recognition, success and respect through the field of spiritualism.
Apart from profession, benefic debilitated Saturn in the eighth house of a horoscope can also bless the native with good results related to his marriage as well as those related to some other spheres of his life.
