This shows a highly learned person who is equally forceful in speaking out their knowledge. So, these people are normally seen as Motivational Speakers or Mentor/Guide to others. If they become a Teacher/Guru, they become a strict one. Even as Astrologer and Occultist, they will be on your face in speaking harsh things. This time a girl will find her husband in Foreign Lands.
Leo Ascendant - If it is Leo Ascendant, Jupiter rules 5th & 8th house and sits in 12th house in Cancer, where it is exalted. This is best among all. Highly learned and spiritual people. Best Occultist ever. Due to a sudden event, they become Spiritual and then they achieve greatest of heights in Spirituality. Spiritual Gurus who have worldwide fame can be seen from here.
Saturn - Saturn also can be 8th house ruler through its two signs.
In either sign (Capricorn/Aquarius) as 8th house lord, Saturn in 12th house (for Gemini/Cancer Ascendants respectively) surely indicates that access to foreign lands or foreign travels came late in life. In early life, they may have tried a lot to reach to foreign lands but their may be one or the other obstacles. Saturn in Gemini for Cancer Ascendant shows someone in Service of others in Foreign Lands in the field of Communications, most probably in MNCs. It also shows that person is frugal or miser and doesn't spend a lot. It shows that due to a sudden event you land up in Spirituality or Foreign Lands. In early life, they will never get good Spiritual Gurus but through age when they reach 30s, they get some old teacher. Teachers will be strict here. Spirituality develops late in life.
Rahu - If Rahu is 8th house Lord through its sign Aquarius, as it co-rules Aquarius along with Saturn, and sits in 12th house in Gemini then it shows someone who is highly communicative. It is hard to keep this person silent. They are spendthrifts. They gain a lot from Foreign Lands/MNCs but they spend in equal speed. They can be working in MNCs in any field where Communication or Counseling is a big part of work. It also shows that research of 8th house becomes very important in their work. It again shows sudden events impacting person's foreign travels and expenses.
Ketu - Likewise, If Ketu is 8th house Lord through its sign Scorpio, as it co-rules Scorpio along with Mars, and sits in 12th house in Pisces then 1st of all we need to make sure of Mars' position as it is the main ruler. As Ketu isolates/separates a person/spouse from the things related to the house Ketu is sitting, here it separates person from the spiritual beliefs spread by others. They never find themselves agree with the concepts of spirituality of others and always find fault there. Similarly, they reach foreign land but don't find anything of interest there and feel isolated. It is one of the most prominent Moksha Margi position. Ketu in Pisces shows same things as Pisces, being 12th sign, represents 12th house energy. They are here to seek truth their own way.
Hope this helps. Thanks,
