Today is the 28th day of the first Chaturmas. During Chaturmas, devotion to Lord Shiva, self-restraint, and mantra chanting yield imperishable spiritual merit.

In this chart lagnesh sitting with 8th lord in 10th house. But they are in leo sign which is friendly for both of them.

What is the solution?

Hi, I’m a lad and ever since I was little I’ve had strange feelings and recurring strange episodes. I have recurring episodes that also happen to my family – some involving humiliation, delusions, things go well and then end badly, mental blocks, bad luck – it’s happened to me with girls, at school, health and sport Let’s start with school: from primary through to secondary school, I constantly experienced humiliation at the hands of my teachers; I was bullied by others even at sixth form, and school was hell for me. In matters of love, I’ve always had the feeling, ever since I was a child, that I’ll be single for life – I’m convinced of it, and I know it’s not normal. With every girl I’ve tried to get involved with, I’ve always been humiliated and suffered humiliation; for example: once, I tried my luck with a girl and after she turned me down, she laughed in my face. I feel as though, whenever I approach a normal girl – not that I’m particularly attracted to her – I feel a mental block, as if I just can’t do it. All the girls who’ve made a move on me have been of very low calibre: immature, bossy, strange, insecure, and they manage to make me feel inferior and humiliate me. For example: a few months ago, a girl tried to chat me up; she had all these traits and had a fake photo I didn’t like her, so I politely turned her down, and after I turned her down, she showered me with insults I don’t mean to offend – I apologise – but I have to be honest: I think they’re a person with absolutely no redeeming qualities, and I feel like a real loser for attracting people like that. I often find myself thinking, ‘Is the whole world out to get me?’ But it’s not normal to attract people like this – it only happens once in a blue moon. I’m grateful for what little I have, but I feel like I’m being made a fool of. Even the photo isn’t real; there’s nothing good about it – it feels like a joke. On a family note, my uncle was called up twice by a professional team for a trial, and both times he had a fever, and he never had the chance to become a footballer. I, too, missed my chance to become a footballer because when I was a teenager I got injured and broke some bones, and I was treated badly; even now I haven’t fully recovered, so I never had the chance to become a footballer. Another family anecdote involves betting slips. A few years ago, my father and I were placing bets, and for a while we kept losing every match in the 90th minute – not just occasionally, but every single match in a row. That’s not normal. We even had a run of at least 50 matches in a row where we lost in the 90th minute – that’s not normal. Another similar and very strange incident concerns my favourite team and my relationship with them. My father instilled this passion in me when I was a boy, and we went to watch every game at the stadium. At first, I was very happy to go to the stadium Then, after a while, my favorite team started losing a lot of games with 90 minutes or suffering comebacks, and having a lot of bad luck. Yes, we won games, but very rarely, and we lost a lot of games that way. I felt like I was stuck, like I was bringing bad luck to my favorite team, but isn't that normal? I'm aware that there are the players, the fans, I can't bring bad luck, but I felt this feeling. How is that possible? Another strange episode is with the PlayStation. I've been a FIFA player for a long time. I've always played it, it's my passion. At the beginning, in the first few games I played FIFA, it's true I was less strong as a player, but I lost a lot of games and at the 90 minute for example: in 40 games I lost 35 matches in the 90th minute tied 2/3 and win 1/2 I understand losing because I was less strong but it's not normal to lose all the matches in the 90th minute These are the episodes that happen to me. They're not serious episodes, there are definitely more serious things, but they are very strange and repeated episodes that also affect my family: humiliation, illusion, teasing, as if things are going well and then they end badly like betting slips. Strange feelings and I feel a block. Now I'm doing psychological therapy, but I have the feeling that I can't cope with things. Maybe we can talk about family karma? Looking at my birth chart, is it normal for these episodes to happen? and how can i solve I'm currently undergoing psychological counseling but I can't understand the reason for these episodes. I think I can't cope with my life. Unfortunately, I can't have astrologers. Can anyone give me some advice? Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi I recently started reading about astrology a little and one of my friend has this chart.- leo asc d1, cancer asc d9- Saturn lord of 7th H in both

Can this be considered an example of poor d1 but good d9? And if yes, then how do you read both together ? Also,

1. jupiter and venus conjuction in 9th h of pieces in d9 ?should be considered good?

2. 7th lord in d1 sitting in 12th H ? Bad?

3. Saturn lord of 7th - sitting in 5th H of scorpio with rahu -- Does it always gives bad result or makes native or partner a cheater?

4. Also 7th lord in 5th in d9 means love marriage ?

5. Ketu sitting in 2nd house in d1 and in 11th house in d9 cancer make person to have tendencies to be completely detached from wealth etc?

Only giving grade a exams though have law as career...but want some higher organisations... chances??

In Vedic astrology, the 8th house is strongly connected with unexpected gains, inheritance, insurance, joint assets, hidden wealth and sudden financial transformations.

1. Strong 8th Lord — 8th lord placed in a strong house or sign can bring sudden financial opportunities.
2. 8th Lord in the 2nd House — Can connect sudden gains with accumulated wealth, inheritance or family assets.
3. 2nd Lord in the 8th House — Creates a strong link between wealth and 8th-house sources such as inheritance, insurance or unexpected gains.
4. 8th Lord in the 11th House — One of the notable combinations for unexpected gains and financial windfalls.
5. 11th Lord in the 8th House — Gains may come through inheritance, investments, spouse's resources or other unexpected sources.
6. Connection of 2nd, 8th and 11th Lords — A powerful wealth combination when these houses/lords are strong and well connected.
7. Jupiter connected with the 8th House — Can expand opportunities for inheritance, investments, joint wealth and unexpected financial support.
8. Rahu connected with the 2nd, 8th or 11th House — May produce sudden and unconventional financial gains, particularly during favorable periods.
9. 8th Lord connected with the 5th Lord — Can link sudden gains with speculation, investments or other 5th-house activities, although risk assessment is essential.
10. Dhana Yogas involving the 8th Lord — When the 8th lord participates in strong 2nd/5th/9th/11th-house wealth combinations, sudden financial growth can become more prominent.

Most important: A single 8th-house placement does not guarantee sudden wealth. The strength of the planets, their dignity, aspects, divisional charts, and especially the Mahadasha/Antardasha must support the combination.
