They can also become very impulsive and harsh very quickly. So when they are provoked, they are almost definitely to respond in a strict and vindictive manner.

Other than that, such individuals have a reputation for being secretive or mischievous. That is, the public does not fully understand their motives and intentions as the natives usually hide their plans and strategies.

It can be for various reasons, and not always for bad ones. For instance, they may feel extremely vulnerable to the opinions of people in public life which becomes the prime cause for being secretive.

The disharmonious character makes it many times harder for the natives to achieve the social recognition they desire.

The 8th lord of darkness casts a dark shadow upon the public image of the native. The 10th house is meant to shine brightly but the presence of the 8th ruler there makes it hard to stand out due to delays and obstacles caused possibly by suspicions in others.

However, when they achieve the desired social status, they do it suddenly and in great ways.

If the given combination is well placed, it indicates that the native holds secrets for good cause because of being involved in a confidential type of work or activities.

Yet, their character is still very intensively harsh which indicates that they may be forcing their agenda on others in their workplace or in public. This causes conflict because other people can not truly understand the motives behind the agenda of the native.

However a dignified 8th ruler in the 10th house ensures that these natives are successfully able to bring changes to their careers or business with a highly intensive style of communication and strictness of actions.

There are high chances of being involved in illegal activities with secret groups of people (3rd disposition).

The damaged 8th ruler also indicates that the native becomes very dangerous. It also influences their style of communication which becomes dirty, cruel, and negatively intense.

With that being said, their work involves a lot of in-depth research and confident information. Their work can also involve intensive situations and sudden events where they resolve and deal with the aftermath of these events.

As the combination forms the 3rd disposition, it suggests that there is a lot of secret information transfer involved. This also indicates that the work and main activity may take place behind the scenes and the people from the public can not really understand the specialty of the native with this combination.

Other than that, the 8th house also governs various sciences where in-depth research is required. To be specific, this combination also suggests that the native may be dealing with sciences of hidden matters, such as psychology, where they counsel people who have experienced tragedies or sudden difficult circumstances in life.

What is more, the 3rd disposition also signifies siblings. Hence, the 8th ruler in the 10th also indicates that the siblings of individuals with this combination are also involved with matters of the 8th house in their profession.

Moreover, as the 8th house deals with transformation, it can also indicate an occupation that brings great changes behind the scenes, and people from the public may not be even aware of it.

Alternatively, if the 8th house lord is in bad dignity, it indicates that the secrecy in activities takes a completely different direction. That is to say, with the bad dignity of the 8th ruler, the natives are involved with secret illegal and unethical activities through which they earn their wealth.

The secret activity involves closed or private networks of people, as the 3rd disposition suggests.

As per the law of karma, bad deeds also accumulate lots of negative karma which manifests in sudden and unexpected losses. In the end, all the unrighteously obtained money will be lost or it cannot be used as expected.

The combination in question also prompts the natives to work hard for their ambitious goals.

There are various astrological indications for this effect. To begin with, the presence of the malefic 8th lord in the 10th house of ambitions, career, and high achievements indicates various obstacles and sudden obstructions that cause a lot of struggle and disappointment.

It is likely that there are a lot of envious people present on the way to professional and social success which either make or break natives with this combination.

A dignified 8th ruler shows that they are capable of overcoming sinful enemies by sheer determination, focus, and persistence without being distracted by enemies.

It is important to bear in mind that sinful enemies try their hardest to break us and provoke us to replicate their sinful ways. Hence, it is always crucial to refrain from reacting to avoid ending up n the same level as the unethical provokes.

With that being said, it is also important to refrain from committing a mistake of revenge even when at some point hidden enemies manage to cause temporary damage.

According to all holy scriptures, revenge is dangerous because it can put us in the same situation as the sinful provokes. Hence, revenge is condemned.

Leave everything in the hands of almighty God for he will take care of you and deal with the world of hidden matters and transform adversities to the greatest benefits in miraculous ways.

Avoiding revenge has 3 major benefits. It helps gain the pleasure of God, saves reputation, and allows for enemies to meddle until they mess up greatly by themselves.

Efforts & Hard Work Evades Failure

Secondly, the given combination forms the 3rd disposition which also signifies self-made efforts, hard work, the power to take action, and skillsets required for hard work.

Accordingly, the native should hustle hard in order to achieve results and build up strong social rank and status. The sudden obstacles and events prompt the natives to work even harder than hard in order to see any results.

Hence, it becomes a very fragile yet intensive combination the outcomes of which are dependent on the dignity of the given lord.

If the 8th house lord is strong and in good dignity, it indicates that the native always finds courage, motivation, and willpower to overcome those unexpected disturbances. Their motivation is highly supported by their excellent skillsets which enable them to tactfully deal with downfalls in life and come out from troubles as a better version of themselves.

If the combination is inauspiciously formed, it indicates that the obstacles cause a loss of courage, valor, and motivation in order to proceed chasing dreams. In other words, it makes the natives lazy which also means that they are not willing to improve their skill sets constantly which makes them stagnant in one position in life.

The disappointment can further lead to the commitment to fraud and trickery in an attempt to achieve better financial status or fame. It can also indicate taking advantage of physical and sensual attraction in an attempt to get promoted.

Lack Of Mental Peace

This combination also causes a lack of mental peace due to disturbances caused by obstruction and unexpected events.

In astrological terms, this effect is caused by the aspect of the 8th lord upon the 4th house of peace of mind.

All the struggles the native faces in public life affect their mental health adversely. This dissatisfaction extends to the domestic environment of the native. As a result, their home environment also lacks peace and harmony, at times, due to negative emotions the natives carry.

If the 8th lord is strong and well-paced, it indicates that they are able to remain level-headed despite a lot of disturbances and loss of mental peace. They are able to keep going, but with a rather serious attitude because with this combination, there is a lack of positive emotions.

Moreover, as the 4th also signifies mother, this combination indicates hardships to the mother of the native as well.
