What does 8th House Lord in 12th House mean?
When the planet that governs the 8th house of the natal birth chart is located in the 12th house from the ascendant sign, it means to have this planetary combination.
As a general result of this combination, the significances of the 12th house, such as imagination, vision, dreams, sleep, charities, expenses on self, as well as losses, isolation, hospitalization, secret enemies, obstacles, etc are influenced by the significations of the 8th house such as transformations, spirituality, hidden talents, occult sciences, everything hidden or underneath the surface, darkness, fears (fearlessness positively), everything uncertain & unexpected, as well as hidden treasures, unearned wealth, longevity, etc
The 12th house is one of the best positions for the 8th house lord to be in as it forms a special and very powerful planetary combination which is called Sarala Viparita Raja Yoga.
Both of the houses involved are malefic houses which are called Dusthana Bhava as per sidereal Vedic astrology. The function of this special combination is to battle the difficulties of the 12th house with the help of malefic energies provided by the 8th house and coming out as a winner in the end.
However, before any benefits can be extracted from this combination, a lot of hurdles, hardships, and difficult circumstances must be experienced. After all, there is double the number of malefic energies in this combination.
When the 8th lord is in the 12th house, it is disposed in 5th from its own sign, which adds auspicious intonation to this combination. The reason for this is that the 5th house is a very auspicious trine house or Trikona Bhava which signifies intelligence, progeny, authority, honor, fame, speculation, past life deeds, etc.
Moreover, both the 8th and 12th houses belong to the same triangle of salvation or Moksha Trikona. To add to it, the 5th (disposition house) belongs to the triangle of righteousness or Dharma Trikona.
Hence, the connection between these house types provides a lot of interest in spiritual enlightenment. Moreover, such natives are concerned about the beautiful afterlife which motivates them to follow righteous lifepath, if the 8th house ruler is in good dignity.

This is spot on! I have my 6th lord Shani in 8th and 8th lord Guru exalted in 12th. 12th lord Chandra in the 9th conjunct Rahu. My early years were full of struggle, haters, war, divorce, courts, police, the works!
In my 50’s I”ve come out smelling like a rose, intuitive, insightful, financially well off, tough as nails and a reader of the spirit realm. I’ve taken the higher path and can sense an “enemy” before they even materialize. I’d prefer not to hurt people. When enemies appear, they often don’t have the heart to even think to try anything. I’ve gained immensely from lifes struggles to the point where I create my own righteous struggles to further gain wisdom and spiritual power. This is an excellent article.
