What is the Saturn and Rahu conjunction in Astrology?

You can read in detail about rahu saturn conjunction which has been mentioned in the first blog of this series of What is Saturn and Rahu conjunction.

Saturn and Rahu conjunction is in the 8th house of the birth chart General characteristics:

Now since this 8th house of horoscope is known as the house of death, mystery and occult sciences as well so this conjunction here can give very interesting results depending upon various factors like the zodiac sign of the 8th house, the degree difference between Saturn and Rahu, the presence or absence of any other planet or aspect on the 8th house of other malefic or benefic planets.

If we look at the individual characteristics of these two planets and go by the saying that Rahu acts like Saturn as it is a shadow planet and it behaves as the company it gets or the house that it is placed in so this individual would have generally a long life but would have some diseases as well and they could go on for long.

Saturn is the Kaarak for the 8th house and Rahu is a mystery in itself so these individuals would be very secretive themselves and have a deep interest in the occult sciences and they could deny having any interest in them on the face as well.
The shrewd conjunction of the planets can make one go into spying jobs or if they are highly malefic for the horoscope then the person could be into illegal underground activities as well.
This individual could also have the habits of drinking or smoking which could be done hidden away from the eyes of the world.

Saturn here could give one a very routine job since it gives its 3rd aspect on the 10th house of the profession. Because Saturn represents restriction and Rahu represents explosion so the expense of any type could be happening in a hap-hazard manner depending upon the Dasha, sub-Dasha and transit of various planets and their aspect on this house.

This person could also be interested in astrology and similar studies and it would not be a shock to see many famous astrologers having this combination in the 8th house or aspecting this house.
Since in the natural order of horoscope i.e. Kaal Purush (Kundali) horoscope the ascendant and 8th house are both owned by the same planet that is Mars so some effect of Martian abilities can also be seen through the 8th house. For example, Aries can cause self-harm through their karmas and will be judged by Judge Saturn sitting in the 8th house very harshly.

Furthermore, if Saturn owns the 10th house or the 9th House then it could mean loss of Profession and Loss of Luck in bad scenarios and it opposite it could mean that person is involved in work that involves going underground, it could be as simple as a person owning a shop in the basement or a person dealing in Coal, Gems or Petroleum based products etc. because all of these are found underground.

Now, once these two enter the same house i.e. 8th house they will be at some distance from each other. Here the results would vary depending on the distance between them which has been discussed earlier as well.

Rahu in the 8th house can do well in situations where things happen on a sudden basis like an Emergency in a hospital or Operation theatre and Paramedics etc.
This also shows that some part of your spouse’s family would be related to a lower background or something fishy would be there about the family of the spouse.

Here a major thing that can be said is if Saturn controls and Rahu follows then there is a tenacious attitude in the person and this person works for success in a right lawful manner if it is the opposite then Rahu will take the person on a different trajectory and won’t shy away from using non-legal ways for the ways towards the end and Saturn will eventually give the judgement for the karmas of the Rahu as done by Rahu.

Saturn and Rahu in the 8th House of birth chart and career:

Because this conjunction gives some shrewdness to a person, here it is being formed in the 8th house which is the house of death, and sudden things and it’s the house of mysteries. The chances of a person using their strictness of Saturn and cunningness of Rahu on the affecting individuals can be seen in the work as well.

These individuals can work well in places where digging is required or sudden things happen regularly. That could be the ER of hospitals, Paramedics or Fire fighters etc.
These individuals can also make money through the business of mining, livelihood through other people’s money and especially money of their in-laws as the 8th house is also the house of one’s in-laws. Here

Ketu in the 2nd house will give some divisions in one’s own family. If the horoscope is having lots of afflictions to the ascendant, the moon and mercury are all afflicted and the benefic aspect of Jupiter is either missing or Jupiter is itself weak then the person could also get into the profession of drug dealings, gambling and prostitution etc. This would be rare but could be seen in many people who are into these kinds of professions.

Most of the time these planets will keep such aspects secret and only when things come out in the open the bad results will follow otherwise one could live an entire life in a very hidden manner as well. Again, individuals could get into any profession depending on their zodiac sign. The profession would also depend on the 10th house and its lord’s position in the horoscope as well.
