Relationship Matters - 8th house and 12th house

In relationship matters, 8th house and 12th house can give contrasting results. They can go in either directions.

8th house is house of marriage benefits and in-laws. These representations are supporting relationship. But it also represents major changes in life and chaotic events. These representations are not supporting relationship.

12th house represents huge expenses and bed-pleasures. This is supportive to relationship. But it is also house of losses and as it is 6th from 7th house, it represents conflicts in relationship.

So, it becomes difficult to predict which way these 2 houses will give results. So, a clue remains the other houses which are active as per dashas. It means if other active houses are supportive of relationship then 8th house and 12th house dasha can be supportive of relationship too. But if other active houses are not supportive of relationship then 8th house and 12th house dasha can also bring conflicts and separation.

So, 2nd house (family), 7th house (relationship), 11th house (desires), 5th house (love/romance) and 9th house (fortune) are supportive of relationship.

1st house (self/ego), 4th house (Loss of love being 12th from 5th house), 6th house (conflicts/litigation), 10th house (authorities like Judges) are not supportive of relationship or we can say that they are supportive of separation.

House # 3 is neutral. It neither support relation nor deny relationship.

Now, if MD/AD/PD of 2nd house, 7th house, 11th house, 5th house or 9th house are going on and along with it 8th house and 12th house get activated through any level of dashas, then it can be supporting dasha for bringing relationship. 8th house and 12th house can give results in favor of relationship. For ex - If someone is under 2nd house or 7th house MD and 8th house AD activates then results can be in favor of relationship.

But if MD/AD/PD of 1st house, 6th house, 10th house are on and along with it person goes through any level of dashas of 8th house and 12th house, then 8th house and 12th house can give results in favor of separation. For ex - If someone is under 6th house or 10th house MD and 8th house AD comes in then it can bring separation.

Now, a question can arise what if MD itself is of 8th house? Then we need to see which AD/PD are activating relationship supportive houses and which AD/PD are activating separation oriented houses. Person will get results based on that. For ex- if someone is under Rahu MD and Rahu is in 8th house and then he goes through Jupiter AD and Jupiter is in 6th house, then this AD can bring conflict or separation but if same Jupiter is in 7th house then it can support relationship.

So, these two houses can go either way in relationship matters. Needless to say that we have to keep planets involved, their nature and dignity in mind.

Last but not the least, in relationship matters, Darakaraka (spouse) and Ghatani Karaka (conflicts) of Jaimini Astrology become important planets and we should keep them in consideration.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
