Well, do you know that planets can affect the longevity of a person? The answer is Yes! Today's astrology is all about that. One might wonder what is 8th House in astrology? The 8th House represents one of the most vital aspects of our life. This House is called 'Ayu Bhava', which means the House of your life expectancy. Death? Sounds scary, right? Who is scared of death? Well, the 8th House represents an individual's life span on this earth.
According to Vedic astrology, the first House represents the birth or incarnation of an individual. Likewise, the eighth House represents the death or disincarnation of an individual according to the kundli. So, let's dig deep into what the 8th House indicates in a natal chart. The 8th House is mainly referred to as the House of Death, and of course, it scares people to death, but there's so much richness to this House because it is also a moksha house where an individual is free from the materialistic world and follows the path of spirituality.
Moreover, the 8th House is also referred to as the Dusthana House because they are the House that causes suffering and sorrow. Along with the 8th House, the 6th and 12th Houses are also known as the Dusthana House. Additionally, the 8th House is ruled by the planet Mars, and the Scorpio zodiac sign highlighting its attributes is focused on their ambition, desire to achieve something in life, jealousy, and hidden dark secrets. Also, the lord of 8th House is planet Mars.
Furthermore, it is the weak House for the Moon, Mars, and Mercury and the best House for Jupiter and the Sun. If you want to know more about different types of houses in astrology, then follow our InstaAstro web and app.
Every House has its own significance and importance. However, it depends upon the placement of planets in each House and how favourable it is for you. We aren't saying that the 8th House is negative. However, if we look into the positive side of this House, it grants wealth and longevity if placed positively. Also, look at the importance of this House and its impact on individuals' lives.
The lifespan of an individual: This House represents the life expectancy and how a person will have to endure suffering and sorrows before they die. It also reveals whether the death of the native will be due to accidents or sudden deaths. However, if the House is favourable for a native, they will have a long life, and even if they die, they will have a peaceful death.
The 8th House indicates hurdles and obstacles: If the 8th House is afflicted in your natal chart, you will have to go through tough situations in life where you might feel helpless and hopeless. Moreover, if it worsens, you won't get any support from your family and friends. Thus, you'll feel helpless to the extent that you will have suicidal thoughts leading you to become more depressed. Also, the natives will go to the extent that they start to harm themselves.
8th House transforms the natives: The 8th House enables an individual to transform into better people. As human beings, we go through several emotions at once, so the 8th House helps us release all the negative emotions and lead the way toward spirituality. Additionally, this is why the 8th House is referred to as Moksha, as it helps individuals release all their negative emotions and be in a calm state of mind. While you do these, remember your past deeds and try to improve them so that you do not have to suffer due to them.
Risk factors: A person might go through sudden death. Moreover, the malefic effects of the 8th House can affect you in a way that you will have to go through financial losses. Also, a person might feel scared without reason which might be due to extreme stress and an unstable mind.
Sexuality: The 8th House has connotations with sexuality because this is the House that can deal with the deep dark stuff. In addition, it is also a house that deals specifically with powers that control us emotionally. People that have powerful planets in this House are extremely magnetic and powerful. Thus, they attract powerful energy and light up the room wherever they go.

Furthermore, if we take into account the relationship and marriage, they will be a very loving and caring partner. Also, they will get a loyal partner who will take care of all their needs. If the planets are negatively placed, the native will be very introverted and avoid going out with friends and families. They will be socially inactive and also avoid going to family gatherings.
Natives with the planet Venus will have a very luxurious lifestyle, and they don't have to compromise for anything. Also, they will get a partner who is independent and financially strong. Also, these natives are very secretive as they do not open up easily even though they know everything about the other person. When it comes to professionals and work life, they want their work to be done perfectly without any chaos. Moreover, they are the ones who would never want to relax unless their works are not up to date. Also, they are very self-obsessed and overconfident, which leads them to downfall after some point in time.
The natives whose planets are placed in the 8th House are dipped with passion within them, but obviously, it'll take them a lot of time to bring out their dedication and passion for whatever role they take up. Moreover, they are fond of taking up roles requiring deep research and investigation. Thus, they can go to any extent to present the best work or projects assigned to them. Furthermore, they have a strong instinct, so nothing can be hidden from them. They can look into people's eyes and come to know what the other person might be thinking, so you can't think of fooling them. Also, if the natives are dating someone, they become very over-possessive and obstruct their partners from being independent, which can lead to a huge problem in their relationship.
These natives are very practical about their life and avoid having materialistic dreams. They believe that whatever they do, a purpose must be behind it. These people are manipulative in a way that they can turn any situation under their control. They are very curious in nature. They want to know every bit of information. Moreover, they don't usually reveal a lot of information about themselves. Also, when it comes to relationships, their partners are always in a dilemma because they avoid having a healthy conversation with their partner, which makes their relationship weak.

The natives of Saturn in the 8th House find it very difficult to come out of their comfort zones as they find it difficult to cope with a new environment. Moreover, they are always stuck with the past and find it problematic to come out of it. The influence of Saturn makes it difficult for them to take up new roles in life, but because of their patient nature, they calm themselves and try to focus on their goals.
Moreover, they tend to give up on little happiness and fun to reach their needs and wants. Also, they avoid making a huge social circle to avoid missing out on the essential things in life. Furthermore, to experience great things in life, they must adapt to changes and meet people so that they can see a greater picture of life.
Rahu in the 8th House can be very destructive and problematic, bringing malefic effects in their life. People are prone to financial problems and controversies. This malefic planet can drag you to the extent that you feel depressed and stressed out all the time. Due to the effects of Planet Rahu, you might involve yourself in tough situations, which can greatly hinder your career.
Also, you might lose your expenses because there is a tendency for you to involve yourself in gambling and playing the lottery. Talking about married life, you might get a wealthy rich husband, but there won't be mutual understanding, and your partner might turn out to be very stubborn. Also, to get rid of such issues, you must wear rudraksha and keep silver coins wherever you go.
