By Saket Shah

Dear Reader, We always think about the wonder of 8th house and maraca planets and how their dasha will give results. In this book I am trying to explain the concept of vedic astrology in which evil planets or 8th house or 8th lord and when planets give negative or positive results. I am discussing raj yogas and negative results both as well.
Also how kendra and trikona lord can give benefic results what if they are conjunct with rahu or ketu. All these positive and negative combinations I am discussing in this book. Also I am discussing dasha and antardasha results of yogakaraka and maraka planets. I hope you will enjoy reading and I welcome you to my world of astrology and divine knowledge.

Rule of 8th lord.

8 th house is the house of loss to Bhagya Sthana or the 9th house. Hence lord of 8 th house is evil. He will give only evil results. But if the same 8th lord also becomes Lagna Lord, he becomes good and good results will follow.

According to my Guru, the 8th lord is auspicious only when he is placed in Lagna or the 8 th house. If he is placed in any other house, the significance of that house will be destroyed. The evil nature of the 8th lord is much greater than the good nature of the Lagna Lord.

The Ashtamadhipatya Dosha (Dosha arising on account of ownership of the 8 th house) is not applicable to Sun and Moon. But some others say that there is a little amount of Dosha for them.

For Sun and Moon own house is only one. Hence they have no Dosha on account of 8th lordship. This is the opinion of majority. For Capricorn Lagna Sun will be the 8th lord and for Sagittarius Lagna Moon will be the 8th lord. So for these two Lagna natives this Dosha does not exist. Some others opine that for these two lagna there will not be any evil results but at the same time the two planets will also be not in a position to produce good results. Another view is that though the blemish owning the 8th house is not attributable to Sun and Moon but when they are conjoined with other malefics, a little bit of Dosha sets in. And that may result in bad results too. Instead, if they conjoin benefic planets, they will definitely give good results. So for these two Lagna, the Ashtamadhipatya Dosha is to be ascertained taking into account the quality of the conjoined planet.

Determination of Maraka Houses

The lord of the 2nd house and the 7th house from Janma Lagna are marakas. Out of these two, the 2nd lord will not kill. Additionally, for each Lagna, there are four malefic houses. The 3rd and the 8th lord from these houses are also empowered to kill. Note: A new rule is being stated in this verse. The first rule is the general rule according to which the 2nd lord as well as the 7th lord from Lagna is marakas and they will bring in death. Out of these two 7th lord is more powerful than the 2nd lord. 2nd lord will not kill. This is stated by almost all authors.

The new rule as per this author is that generally there are four houses which are considered as bad houses for any Lagna. They are the 3rd, 6th, 8th and the 12th. Hence the lords of these four houses also become malefics. The speciality of these houses is – 8 th house is house of longevity. Further it indicates the manner of death and the type of death the native will face. 6th house is the house of diseases and enemies. This will indicate curable diseases and also war; enemies’ etc. 12th house is the house of loss for the Lagna or Moksha place. Hence it is connected with death. 3rd house being the 8th from the 8th house, according to Bhavat Bhava principle, 3rd house is the reflection of the 8th house of longevity. According to the author the 3rd and the 8th house from the above stated four houses is to be taken into consideration. The death will happen in the period of the stronger of these lords.

The 8th house from the birth Lagna is called the house of Longevity. The 8th from the 8th house is also likewise i.e. the 3rd house is also a house of Longevity. The 12th house counted from these two houses are called Maraka (death-inflicting) houses. Thus the 7th and 2nd houses in a horoscope are Maraka (death inflicting) houses.

2nd house is stronger in inflicting death (Against the Tamil verse) than the 7th house. Malefic planets occupying the 2nd and 7th houses in conjunction with malefic
