Eighth house of a horoscope is a very special and probably the most difficult to understand house of a horoscope and accordingly the placement of any benefic or malefic planet in this house of a horoscope carries great significance as such placement can spell a lot of good or bad things for the native under its influence. At the same time, eighth house of a horoscope is undoubtedly the most feared house of a horoscope which is due to the fact that this house is called the house of death by many astrologers. Hence it is believed by many astrologers and many people interested in astrology that the placement of any planet in the eight house of a horoscope can only bring bad results.  Some other astrologers believe that the placement of natural benefic planets like Moon, Jupiter and Venus in the eighth house of a horoscope spells bad results for the native whereas the presence of natural malefic planets like Saturn, Rahu and Mars in the eighth house of a horoscope can bring good results for the native under its influence.

One thing is common between both these beliefs, which is the fact that the placement of Moon in the eighth house of a horoscope can only bring bad results for the native under its influence since Moon is a natural benefic planet and accordingly it should bring bad results when placed in the eighth house of a horoscope, even according to the second theory. However this is not true at all and on the contrary, the placement of benefic Moon in the eighth house of a horoscope can bless the native with very good results. When such benefic Moon placed in the eighth house of a horoscope is supported by some other benefic planets in the same horoscope, it can bless the native with some of the most wonderful and at the same time, some of the most exclusive results related to many spheres of his life including his marriage, profession, health and spiritual growth.

Benefic exalted Moon placed in the eighth house of a horoscope can prove a very good placement of this placement as it can bless the native with good results related to the already mentioned spheres of a native’s life. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may come across some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such benefic influence can especially prove very good for the professional sphere of the native under its influence as it can bless the native with success through a number of professional spheres. For example, if benefic exalted Moon is placed in the eighth house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus along with benefic Saturn and a benefic combination of Sun and Mercury is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo, the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may conduct study and research in a field like spiritualism, astrology or some other such field and he may engage in it on professional basis.

If benefic Venus is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio when benefic exalted Moon and all other benefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may follow the path of astrology and he may become a professional astrologer after conducting study and research in this field. Such native may achieve earn good amount of success, money and recognition as an astrologer where his career as an astrologer may start rising from the age of 36 and it may speed up after his age of 40. At the same time, if benefic Jupiter is present in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the presence of such benefic exalted Jupiter can add much more energy to this equation and accordingly the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become a famous astrologer. Such native may appear on some video shows, televisions shows or on some radio shows based on astrology and he may also appear in some newspapers on regular basis.

If benefic Mars is also placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with benefic exalted Jupiter when benefic exalted Moon is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus along with benefic Saturn and all other benefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may experience wonderful results through the field of astrology. This is due to the reason that the presence of benefic debilitated Mars in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with benefic exalted Jupiter can lead to the formation of Neechbhang Rajyoga in the tenth house of this horoscope. According to the valid definition of Neechbhang Rajyoga, if a benefic debilitated planet is joined by a planet which is benefic in nature and which is the lord of its sign of debilitation or which gets exalted in its sign of debilitation, the debilitation status of such debilitated planet may get cancelled and Neechbhang Rajyoga may be formed in the horoscope, which can bless the native with very good results in some sphere of his life depending on the overall tone of his horoscope.

In this case, since benefic debilitated Mars is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with benefic exalted Jupiter, the debilitation status of such benefic debilitated Mars may be cancelled and Neechbhang Rajyoga may be formed in the tenth house of this horoscope. Since tenth house of a horoscope primarily deals with the professional sphere of a native, the formation of any good yoga in this house of a horoscope is likely to bless the native with very good results related to his profession. Moving on, as the presence of benefic exalted Moon in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus combined with the presence of all other benefic planets in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope is already blessing the native with success through the profession of astrology, the formation of such Neechbhang Rajyoga in the tenth house of this horoscope is very likely to increase such benefic effects many times. Hence the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may become a very famous astrologer who may achieve fame on national or even on international level.

Some natives under the effect of this benefic influence may instead engage in a field directly related to spiritualism and they may achieve success through it. For example, if benefic exalted Moon is present in the eighth house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus along with benefic Mercury and benefic Sun is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini, the native under the combined effect of these planets may conduct study and research in the field of spiritualism. At the same time, if benefic Saturn is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo, the equation may improve and accordingly the native may engage in the field of spiritualism on professional basis. Such native may conduct study and research in this field for many years and he may then start guiding other people on how to achieve spiritual growth, particularly after his age of 35. At the same time, if benefic Rahu is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius and benefic Ketu is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo, the equation may become better and accordingly the native may achieve more success through this field of profession.

Such native may start his own organization or spiritual mission which may educate people on how to become more and more spiritually advanced and he may achieve very good amount of success and fame through such mission. As more benefic planets add to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all such benefic planets including benefic exalted Moon in the eighth house of his horoscope may achieve even better results through this field. For instance, the presence of benefic Venus in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer can bless the native with much more success and fame through the field of spiritualism. Apart from this, benefic exalted Moon placed in the eighth house of a horoscope can bless the native with success in a number of other professions and accordingly the natives blessed by this benefic influence may become police officers, doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, researchers, fashion designers, architects and many other types of professionals.

On the other hand, malefic exalted Moon placed in the eighth house of a horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to his marriage, profession, overall health and many other types of problems. Accordingly the natives under the effect of such malefic influence may have to face some of these problems depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such malefic influence can especially prove very bad for the professional aspect as well as for the overall health of the native and if it is supported by some other negative planets, it can trouble the native with serious problems in these spheres of his life. For example, the presence of a malefic combination of exalted Moon and Mercury in the eighth house of a horoscope in the sign of Taurus can trouble the native with problems related to his profession whereas the presence of a malefic combination of exalted Moon and malefic Rahu or malefic Sun in the eighth house of a horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to his health.
