Mystery Drives The Soul

The 1st house is the most significant in the natal birth chart because it shows the very beginning of everything and thus signifies the soul. It is the inviiśible driving force that keeps us going in life and urges us to choose specific directions and make certain choices.

To begin with, with the soul guide in the 8th astrological house, these individuals are deeply fascinated by the major topics of the 8th house, such as hidden secrets, private matters, and research.

The urge toward hidden secrets of life makes them highly curious and leads to attaining tons of wisdom that is unknown to many. This is especially true if the 8th house is Gemini because it is governed by the planet of intellect and analytical thinking Mercury.

As their souls are highly aligned toward hidden matters, they are more likely to experience unexpected events in life, which can be both good and bad.

See, when a person starts being too curious, they tend to meddle in things that are not meant for people. Hence, the natives might find themselves in trouble more often than others because of their increased curiosity and tendency to meddle in private matters too much. By discovering something unusual, there is a danger of becoming deeply fascinated by it, be it a good or a bad thing.

If the 1st house ruler is dignified in the 8th house, then there are mostly positive effects expected despite having increased difficulties.

Positive effects also apply in a case when initial bad dignity is improved by a five-fold relationship table. If the dignity is bad initially but improved in the five-fold table, then some bad effects are experienced which leads to sudden improvements later along with highly auspicious events.

In such cases, the native with this combination becomes deeply fascinated with scholarship, studies, and thorough research. This makes them highly knowledgeable about various matters in life.

A dignified 1st ruler in the 8th house also shows that they try hardest to refrain from unethical behavior by avoiding meddling in private matters without reason. By maintaining ethical conduct they avoid getting into mess and unexpected troubles.

An undignified 1st-house ruler in the 8th house shows a tendency to get into trouble because of being fascinated by the hidden but prohibited matters leading the native into all kinds of dangers and addictions.

In BPHS it is stated that these individuals are tempted to indulge in gambling. This effect can manifest if an undignified 1st-house ruler situates in the 8th house. Gambling is indeed something that holds lots of unexpected matters and should be avoided in order not to become addicted to anything that is related to chances.

When leaving one’s vitality and fate to the hands of chance, the chances for failure definitely increase. That is because the odds are always against us no matter what combinations we have and doing something against faith, then it can reduce the protection from almighty God. The lack of protection, in turn, leaves our well-being and fortunes in the hands of the chances of nature which are mostly against us at any time.

Even if one has this combination, it is still possible to avoid becoming linked with troublesome life by acknowledging dangers. After becoming aware of dangers, discipline and sheer determination help to break free from bad habits before they lead to forming links or ties with the world of bad and hidden matters.

It is important to be aware that even when some bad decisions are made, with strict discipline and devotion it is possible to transform a negative path into a highly positive one. One little step at a time helps make a huge difference.

Proficient Scholar

In BPHS it is also stated that individuals with this combination are exceptional and accomplished scholars.

This effect has a lot to do with the positive significance of the 8th astrological house, which in addition to hidden dangers hides lots of wisdom, which is often confidential.

Having their souls turned on by the mysteries of the 8th house, these individuals always seek to exhaust their vitality in matters of the unknown, mysteries, and confidential information.

This can eventually lead them towards activities that involve lots of puzzle solving, the riddle of mind, and investigation. This is an important trait of accomplished scholars who should constantly complement their knowledge base with in-depth information that is beneath the surface and usually unpracticed by the common masses.

Speaking of confidential and private intel, these individuals also have a natural urge to discover, investigate, and analyze that. For the same reason, they often tend to get involved with the private lives of other people and discuss them with passion and enthusiasm. In modern days, this might even be fruitful in certain conditions and situations provided that ethics and privacy laws are respected.

If there is a connection to the 10th house, they are very likely to work or have a business related to examination, research, and complex analysis.

As usual, a dignified 1st house ruler in the 8th house shows that the information obtained is harnessed in pious paths with good intentions that benefit everyone related to their work.

An undignified 1st ruler in the given house indicates being envious and curious at the same time which can put them in danger of using the intellect on completely wrong paths leading to sudden destruction.

To avoid that, it is important to align the path correctly at the very beginning. Otherwise, correction can be also possible but with great hassle, persistence, and faith. It is never too late to become better.

Transformation Of Soul

The 1st house is directly linked to one’s soul, an invisible driving force for the physical body while the 8th house is related to transformation because of its linkage to the Moksha Trikona (salvation triangle).

Therefore, this combination becomes spiritually very significant and yields a lot of events that lead to the gradual transformation of one’s soul.

The transformation can be painful, indeed, but it is crucial to experience this as it is a major factor that matures the mentality and soul altogether.

Maturity allows for better decisions and thus leads us closer to salvation or reuniting with our almighty creator, which is the ultimate purpose according to Hinduism and other religions.

This combination of 1st lord in 8th prompts them to undergo a lot of upheavals and mentally difficult phases in order to temper their nerves to become more resistant and handle everything easily in the next phases.

It feels like diving into the depths of the infinite ocean and wandering until finding starlight which will become a major motivational factor in life. The starlight herein is a metaphor for spiritual wisdom and awakening that leads closer to God.

After finding clarity in chaos, suddenly things start to become clearer and make more sense as we evolve on a soul level in a deep way.

At that point, we realize that things were not falling apart, but they were actually falling in place for our highest good. This applies to everyone having the best intentions in their mind even when things have not been smooth and some mistakes were made.

The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

Unexpected Events

The 8th house is the judge of karma, hence, in everything that your karmic record holds, the 8th house is giving results accordingly, and in a very unexpected way. The 8th house along with sudden events indicates sudden misfortunes or rainfall depending on the accumulated karma from previous actions.

In fact, 8th is 6th from the 3rd house of efforts which shows that misdeeds cause sudden losses. According to Bhavat Bhavam, the 8th place from the 8th house is the 3rd house itself. It means that efforts and actions directly shape the outcomes of sudden events.

Therefore, always do good deeds which ensure protection when unexpected challenges strike. Good deeds also attract auspicious types of sudden events such as sudden gain in order to increase efforts, and skills, and fulfill goals using these sudden blessings.

However, it is important to acknowledge that experiencing difficult events does not necessarily mean that we are doing bad deeds or that good deeds are not rewarded.

These sudden challenges actually test our faith and determination which ultimately shows whether our good deeds in the past have been sincere or just entertain others with false displays.

In fact, good people experience more struggles and misdeeds from others because these natives shine brightly and clearly differ from sinful people. Hence, they become easy targets for sinners.

Here good deeds, faith, and pious intentions will save these natives just by doing nothing as they are protected by the almighty. God has the knowledge of the unseen and can transform any adverse situation for the greatest benefit of his loyal and merciful servants, who follow righteousness, serve God, and do good to others.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Fierce Temper

As the 1st house signifies soul, it also shows what comes from the inside of the native and therefore gives a clue about the basic temper.

The 8th house is naturally represented by Scorpio, which is intense and dynamic, yet very sudden and mysterious because of its involvement with the malefic house group.

Besides this, Scorpio is governed by Mars, which is the fierce planet that signifies competition, confrontation, and a straightforward attitude.

Hence, this combination also shows that these individuals are inherently fierce, short-tempered, easily angered, and straightforward in nature.

When the 1st house ruler is dignified, then these individuals are naturally drawn to righteous behavior and thus naturally find the best ways to express their anger constructively in activities that require them to be strict in one way or another.

An undignified 1st ruler, however, shows that they have a tendency to be necessarily harsh and mean with innocent people without any true reason.

Also, it is mentioned in BPHS that individuals with this combination have a tendency to become thievish. This can negatively manifest with an undignified 1st ruler in the 8th house which indicates being envious causes having one eye on the wealth of others. Alternatively, it can mean being lazy and expecting others to fulfill their desires.

Taking selfish advantage of unearned wealth, however, attracts major sudden misfortunes. Hence, it is better to avoid causing harm to others and shift focus from the wealth of others away. This will help to concentrate on one’s own progress yielding better results and possible success. This will completely wipe out any feeling of jealousy.

To avoid these negative effects from manifesting or turning a negative situation around, it is important to learn that humbleness and kindness attract the same from the almighty God. Hence, be good to anyone and expect to receive blessings along with an improved attitude from others as well.

Passionate

As the 8th house is the second step from the 7th house of marriage, it becomes the key significator regarding gains and stability in marriage.

With that being said, a well-placed first-house ruler in the 8th house indicates gains after marriage and strong ties with in-laws.

As the 8th house is governed by Scorpio, which signifies sensual enjoyment and passion, the native is highly drawn into passionate events which they will seek in matrimony.

In order for them to feel contented in marriage, it is important to have a gainful marriage regarding desires. Note that the 7th is all about sensual desires while the 8th is the gain of it.

Therefore, a dignified 1st ruler in the 8th house shows that these individuals seek and manage to find a partner that they are able to bond on a very deep level resulting in a very dynamic, passionate, and exciting marriage

Alternatively, an undignified 1st house ruler shows the tendency to have immature desires that they seek to fulfill and can therefore cause major strife in matrimony.

To avoid that effect from manifesting, it is important to refrain from meddling in the relationship of other people and never indulge in flirting with the partners of other people. Matrimony is the sacred command given by the almighty God and must be respected. Otherwise, major misfortunes may strike that can affect all spheres of life.
