Debilitated Moon in Eighth House
When debilitated Moon is placed in the eighth house in a horoscope, Aries rises in the ascendant. Debilitated Moon is benefic in the eighth house in some cases though it may turn malefic in some cases. This may happen when Moon 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, Moon may become more malefic.
Since Moon is weak due to debilitation, it may become easy for malefic planets to add negativity to Moon. If debilitated Moon 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 Moon 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)’.
Let’s look at some results which may be given by debilitated Moon in the eighth house when it is benefic. Such benefic debilitated Moon can bless the native with good results related to mother, education, properties, profession, finances, wealth, authority, spiritual growth, special abilities and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope.
Such benefic Moon can bless the native with a post of authority in government, through job or through politics. Hence the native may achieve success as a police officer, army officer, naval officer, air force officer, doctor, scientist, engineer, researcher, revenue officer, administrative officer, foreign services officer, politician or some other type of professional, depending on his overall horoscope.
Taking an example, suppose benefic debilitated Moon is placed in the eighth house of a horoscope in Scorpio. Benefic Venus is placed in the fourth house in Cancer, benefic Sun is placed in the fifth house in Leo with Mercury, exalted Mars is placed in the tenth house in Capricorn and Jupiter is placed in the eleventh house in Aquarius. In this case, the native may become a police officer. He may get selected for a high rank in police services and he may come across success, recognition and authority as a police officer. The native may be known for his bravery as well as courage, and he may achieve success in several important missions.
If benefic Rahu is placed in the first house in Aries, Ketu is placed in the seventh house in Libra and benefic Saturn is placed in the sixth house in Virgo, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may achieve success in competitive exams and he may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in police services. He may enjoy a very good career and he may come across a lot of success, authority and recognition as a police officer. The native may be a brave police officer and he may be a specialist working against terrorism and other types of violent crimes, especially the ones committed by organized mafia groups. He may become the head of a special task force which works against terrorism and mafia organizations and he may achieve great success in removing such threats from his region. He may receive several formal awards and medals for bravery and courage.
The native may also be deputed in some higher law enforcing agencies like Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and he may achieve success. If the finer factors and running times are supportive, the native may serve as the head of police of a state, before retirement. Even after retirement, the native may either be hired by a government defence agency on contract basis or he may join politics and he may become a minister in government.
Apart from these, benefic debilitated Moon in the eighth house of horoscope can bless the native with several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope.
On the other hand, malefic debilitated Moon in the eighth house of horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to mother, mental health, education, properties, vehicles, profession, finances and several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope.
Such debilitated Moon may prove especially troublesome for mother and mental health of the native. Moon is the general signifier of mother as well as mental health. In this case, Moon is also the specific signifier of mother and mental health, since it rules the fourth house in horoscopes with Aries ascendant. Hence the native may be especially vulnerable to problems related to mother and mental health.
Taking an example, suppose debilitated Moon is placed in the eighth house of a horoscope in Scorpio with malefic Mercury. Benefic Sun is placed in the ninth house in Leo, benefic Venus is placed in the tenth house in Capricorn, Jupiter is placed in the twelfth house in Pisces with malefic Rahu, and Ketu is placed in the sixth house in Virgo. In this case, native’s mother may suffer from a serious physical or mental disease. Such disease may trouble her a lot and it may claim her life before native’s age of 20 years. If Mars is placed in the eighth house in Scorpio with Moon and Mercury, and benefic Saturn is placed in the third house in Gemini, the equation may become more troublesome. In this case, native’s mother may suffer from a serious physical disease like some type of cancer. Hence the native may lose his mother before the age of 15 or 10.
Taking another example, suppose debilitated Moon is placed in the eighth house of a horoscope in Scorpio with malefic exalted Ketu. Exalted Rahu is placed in the second house in Taurus, debilitated Sun is placed in the seventh house in Libra, Mars is placed in the eleventh house in Aquarius, Jupiter is placed in the third house in Gemini and benefic Venus is placed in the ninth house in Sagittarius. In this case, the native may suffer from a mental disorder which may trouble him and he may have to avail treatment for many years. If Saturn is placed in the eleventh house in Aquarius with Mars, and malefic Mercury is placed in the eighth house in Scorpio with Moon and Ketu, the equation may become more troublesome. In this case, the native may suffer from a serious medical problem like depression or insanity, and he may not get out of it, throughout his life. If the finer factors and running times are also negative, the native may have to spend many years in a mental asylum.
Apart from these, malefic debilitated Moon in the eighth house can trouble the native with several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope.
