Sun in Aries 8th House

Ashwini – Bharani – Krittika

Home → Nakshatra Project → Sun in Aries

They start by killing something, with destruction, they take over where other leave off; they emphasis the beginning of the end. They shine a light on the point where faith and belief collapse; where knowledge ends. They see the weak spot and attack; they follow the old adage: “If you see someone looking over a bridge, you might as well push them.” These folks are not afraid to push.

They refuse to accept the certainty of the past, the know that it’s not true, it’s doesn’t work any more; the times have moved on. They confront the limits that make others withdraw; they are perfectly clear about what must end; that this is the point of no return. Loss and isolation are forced, catalytic, and transformative.
This Sun supports crisis management, trauma work, surgery, working in hospital, war zones, hidden or underground organizations, forensic or pathological technicians. Often the central figure in a crisis, a highly specialized technician or therapist for crisis. They become hyper aware of 8th house themes, they search for truth deep beneath the surface. They are an authority in a specialized fields with security clearance, access to top secret documents.

Loss is absorbed by others who often have to deal with the consequences. Perhaps the in-laws (or spouse) bear the weight of the fallout or collapse. The native walks away clean while others clean up the mess. These natives don’t linger when things are over; once something has completed its course, these people are out; they make a clean cut. This is also a classic combination for marrying into wealth, but again loosing it by ones own actions or by fate.

The partner’s name becomes heavier than one’s own. The native is identified via marriage, alliance, or hidden backing. Power flows through others, not from self. This often shows up as marrying into a powerful family; being sponsored, controlled, or framed by institutions; living under obligations that were never freely chosen. There is a loss of agency, loss of vitality, loss of vitality fulfilling roles, loyalties, obligations, perhaps just security, or secrecy protocols that need to be followed.

There can be a substantial inheritance that often doesn’t not last. Losses due to authority, or simply from waste. A squandered inheritance, losses due to taxes or mismanagement. The 12th lord exalted sun will certainly burn through partners wealth, inheritance, insurance, other peoples money; but the money the hidden wealth will be there. The native shines brightest (Sun exalted) when ego dissolves into something larger. They have a strong pull toward secret teachings, esoteric traditions, taboo-breaking. An early trauma can be a central theme in their life.

Loss of personal identity, responsibility and accountability from crisis, death, sex, taboo, occultism, endings. There can be constant cycles of collapse and withdrawal. May project mystical authority or a prophetic roles. Early conflict with authority figures and inner insecurity that pushes them into extremes.
Loss of control in matters of sex death and taboo might point to pre-mature ejaculation is possible, especially with Rahu influence; Saturn influence can bring impotence.

When this Sun is 8th from Moon one emotional security is constantly being challenged.

The Classics Rules the 12th house for Virgo ascendant. Vipreet Raj Yoga.

Phala Deepika Sun in 8th house: “Loss of wealth and friends, and one will be short lived. Eyesight will be defective or lost. Death from fire, high fever, bile or weapon.”
Jataka Bharnam Sun in 8th house: “Gives small eyes, eye disease is possible. The native has many enemies, is wrathful, dull witted, has scarce wealth and a weak body. Dim eye-sight, loss of paternal wealth, mental anguish and suffering, deprivation of good conduct and decay of vitality. They lack enthusiasm and liveliness and they may suffer broken bones. Gives distress and adversity in old age.”
B.V. Raman Sun in the 8th house: “If in exaltation he lives long, he’s charming and an eloquent speaker. If this Sun is afflicted he will be troubled by sores on the face and head and be disgruntled with life. His eyes will be weak. He will suffer penury and an uneventful life. If associated with the 8th or the 11th he may gain monetary benefits suddenly or through speculation. He will have limited progeny; mostly males.”

Chamatkar Chintamani Sun in the 8th house: “A crafty lewd impostor. Life is hard and difficult. Travels widely and associates with low women; eats unscrumptiously; squanders his wealth on women and looses it in theft. Secret vice brings infectious diseases and poor health. He cannot not make anyones life happy including his own. Sudden death.
The native is handsome but indolent, prodigal, spendthrift, suffers from piles, adulterous, travels wide and is quarrelsome. Absence of offspring, wealthy but violent; sick and hard-working. He is neither rich nor happy. Early death, and more so, at the loss of some dear one. Generally such natives are less wise, short-tempered and of poor mental and physical health. This disqualifies them from a successful and happy life. The native is fickle-minded but generous; ready to serve the wise and learned; sick and talkative but unlucky. He is characterless, prudent, long-lived, serves the low caste and mostly traveling abroad. The native has little happiness from his son, suffers from eye trouble, gets a wound or boil on his head in the 10th year unless there is benefic influence. The Greeks believed this native would wander aimlessly without food or business; legacy from a superior, favourable for occultism. Gain from partners and co-workers. Death is usually attended with honour.
A strong bond in the 8th bestows gains from agriculture. If exalted or in own sign he will have a long life. If poorly aspected in a female chart she will be involved with trouble and anxiety due to a will, impairing her health seriously. If this Sun has good aspect it brings a steady fortune after marriage, partnerships or inheritance. Increases vitality, prolonged life coupled with self-sacrifice or heroic deeds brings fame at the fag end of life. If this Sun is alone in the 8th without any aspect, the 45th years is said to be critical and the native may suffer from heart trouble and have constitutional weakness, honourable events and gain through death. The partner is apt to be over generous and extravagant.
Afflicted Sun gives sudden violent death due to heat, fever, bile, or weapon. The natives life partner is likely to die first. This Sun is mostly malefic. The 8th house denotes wills, legacies, dowers, chronic disease, loss of wealth, extravagances, suits and quarrels, death, co-workers and occult matters. Planets occupying the 8th incline an interest towards occult matters. If there is no planet here then life ruins along conventional lines until the ruler receives a strong aspect.
If the Sun is in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius there will be bad results. It’s not so critical if in Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius. Feminine signs are favourable. If in Aries or Leo, death is sudden and violent. In others signs (Taurus, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius) death will only come after long illness and great suffering. If in masculine sign the secrets will get out via ones servant or partner; wife becomes unfaithful and there is poverty with old age. Feminine signs give progeny; masculine signs denies it. Early life knows no smooth growth.”

BPHS 12th lord in the 8th house: “The native will always have gains, will speak affably, will enjoy a medium span of life and will be endowed with good qualities.”
B.V. Raman 12th lord in the 8th house: “The native will be rich, celebrated, and enjoy a luxurious life with many servants waiting on him. Gain through death and legacy, interested in occult subjects, and devoted to lord Vishnu. He will be righteous, famous and a gentle speaker endowed with many good qualities of head and heart.”

Sun in Ashwini 8th House

Vladimir Lenin: Sun conjunct Mercury & Mars; no aspects. (See Sun 4th house.)
His father was a senior education official in the Russian Empire; inspector and later Director of Schools in Simbirsk province. Lenin was born to a lower-middle background but the family was continually on the rise. Due to loyal to the Tsarist system; his father received hereditary nobility status late in life. His father emphasized education, discipline, and advancement through merit. He died when Lenin was 16, which had a strong psychological impact.
Sun Mahadasha 1868 – 1874: He was born April 22, 1870.

William Harvey: Sun aspected by Mars. Mars in Capricorn.
Physician, anatomy, blood circulation. He was an English physician and anatomist best known for demonstrating that blood circulates continuously through the body, propelled by the heart. His experimental work overturned medical ideas inherited largely from Galen and became a foundation of modern physiology. He also served as physician to James I and Charles I. Entered Cambridge in 1593; graduated BA in 1597; studied medicine at the University of Padua and received his medical doctorate April 25, 1602. He married Elizabeth Browne in 1604 and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1607. He became physician at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in 1609 and Lumleian lecturer in 1615. By his 1616 lectures, he was developing his theory of circulation. He became royal physician by 1618. The decisive event was 1628, when he published De Motu Cordis (On the Motion of the Heart and Blood), experimentally establishing the circulation of blood and the heart’s role as its pump. During the English Civil War he remained attached to Charles I, accompanying the king and becoming warden of Merton College, Oxford, in 1645. He largely withdrew from practice after 1646. His other major work, De Generatione Animalium, appeared in 1651.
Harvey suffered recurrent and apparently severe gout in later life. On June 3, 1657, aged 79, he suddenly lost the ability to speak and became paralyzed. He died later that same day. The historical description strongly indicates a cerebral hemorrhage (hemorrhagic stroke); the Royal College of Physicians specifically describes it as a cerebral artery hemorrhage, possibly related to vascular damage associated with his longstanding gout.

Clive Wearing: Sun conjunct Mercury; no aspects. Mars in Taurus. (See Sun)
He is full of that bright enthusiastic wonder of a small boy. This is because with his loss of short term memory reoccurring each morning, pretty much the whole world is new to him. Wow, groundhog day. Such innocence and childhood wonder that lights up a room. Prior to his memory loss he was a musicologist with an excellent ear for some of the ancient sounds. A performer and conductor. One of the dray backs of this position is that he himself has become a test subject as scientists use his to try to understand different brain functions. He really is “one of a kind,” as they say. This started with his unique path of music studies and now continues each day due to a debilitating disease.
