in BHAVA 8

Any graha which is born into randhra bhava becomes subject to the fast spinning of the cycle (8)
of self-destruction and rebirth (8).

The speed of change-of-form is often terrifying. Matters of the houses ruled by graha in 8 are
controlled by this fast-turning, re-cycling, identity-destroying andregenerating hidden life force.

Effects of graha in 8 are frightening, secretive, occult, mysterious, hidden, shocking magical,
rejuvenating and changing-changing-changing.

Marriage

Challenging placement for maintenance of conventional equity-ensuring marriage vows.

Exclusivity promises (7) may undergo many iterations  (8) of change; sometimes shocking and
sudden change (8).

Confidential (8) relationships (8).

May include a component of personalities with "tantrik" agenda where hidden, taboo, or covert
sexual relationships may be generated in a personality-transformative context:

 Yogaville 1914-2002 SwamiSatchidananda

Marriage is better understood as transformative process, not fixed value or static content.
Business partnerships and advising-counseling relationships are similarly disposed toward non-
transparency (occult) and non-accountability (Mangala the natural lord of 8 = enemy of Budha
the Accountant).

Covers and blocks the transparency of word and deed in alliance partnership. Terms of contract
enter the Hidden zone. Negotiations and deals conducted in secret. Agreements subjects
to forced-changes

 L-7 in 2nd-from-swakshetra.
Spouse = agent of fast-spinning cycle of self-destruction and rebirth. First marriage is generally
short-lived, although the public may not know this because matters of bhava-8 are hidden.

Sudden, catastrophic and potentially healing transformation of one 's identity = the most
important result of marriage.

 It is an upsetting placement which must be handled from a therapeutic

perspective.

L-7 in bhava-8 of sudden, forced changes = notoriously difficult for the expected stability and
non-changing pillar-of-society relationship 10th-from-10th = marriage. One may experience
infidelity to the marriage contract. The mate in this lifetime has a rather mysterious motivation
for joining the marriage. The spouse becomes a major catalyst for forced change in one 's self-
consciousness awareness.

The yoga is not a prediction of infidelity per se but rather a signal that the mate has agency to
enforce the transformation of the native's consciousness leading to a new identity for the native.
The transformation may be enforced delicately or roughly according to the nature of the graha
which is L-7 mate in 6 identity-change.

The spouse may be a tantrik priest, a therapeutic healer, a surgeon or psychiatrist, a covert
operator, or a handler of dangerous and confidential information. If the graha is very difficult, the
spouse may be a person who is severely emotionally closed due to trauma, and resistant to adult
intimacy.

L-7 in bhava-8 indicates that the spouse is prone to martyrdom, perhaps a great saint, committed
to sacrifice, and often wishing to transform the basic instinctual human sexuality of bhava-7 into
something 'higher' via religious abstinence or other sacrificial transformation. Thus the spouse is
oftennot sexually available.

Although divorce is not required and in fact the spouse is often committed to religious beliefs
which proscribe divorce, one feels effectively divorced or more accurately widowed. one rather
predictably turns to other companionship.

Conventional society expects that spouses should support and stabilize each other's social
identities. However, when L-7 occupies bhava-8, the spouse does not accept one's current
identity, and in fact sets out to destroy it so that one can be pushed forward to a higher destiny or
otherwise 'improved'.
When in bhava-8+ L-7 the agreement-maker is forced to express its balance-seeking behavior in
context of sudden, often catastrophic, changes. In this psychic environment, marriage finds no
stable foundation. Rarely can the couple remain faithful nor even share the same house.

However, all is not lost. If L-7 is a favorable graha, the spouses may greatly respect each other
for their respective strengths and personal integrity. They may continue to help and support each
other in non-intimate ways. Tantrik knowledge is obtained. Spiritual benefits arise.

The general public need not know the intimate details of this marriage, since bhava-8 is the
house of hidden things. The external appearance of the marriage may mask an interior reality of
virtual widowhood. Interpersonally L-7 in bhava-8 is a difficult placement for marriage.

Yet if the graha is good, the external appearances, material and moral support, and other non-
intimate components of marriage may be successful.

" ... You are attracted to noble and virtuous partners and your spouse will probably
be one such person.

Nobility of character is a precious commodity not easily to be found in the majority of people.

Your spouse will probably be morally strict, god-conscious,

and in love with you."
