Death and eighth house

Death due to fire if the Sun is posited in the eighth house.


Death due to water if the Moon is posited in the eighth


Death from a weapon if Mars is posited in the eighth house.


Death from a mucous disease if Jupiter is in the eighth house


Death from thirst if Venus is in the eighth house.


Death from hunger if Saturn is posited in the eighth house


The above shloka has been repeated in other classics, as well, indicating that the influence of a planet on the eighth house indicates the mode of death, whether death is natural, accidental, or unnatural as in suicide.Additionally, according to /Saravali,/ when Mars is  posited in the fourth house and the Sun is in the tenth, the native will die due to a fall from a mountain or a  blow to the head by a rock or stone.
