When the ruler of the eighth house is in the fifth house, this means that you should not gamble, as gambling may cause you to get in debt.
This placement also means that the activities that you love engaging in can be dangerous or of a taboo nature. Alternatively, they may be something to do with the occult, finding out the secrets of life and death, and understanding what happens after death.
With this placement afflicted, you should be careful not to engage in anything risky in your free time or as your hobby, because such an activity can shorten your life.
The ruler of the eighth house in the fifth house can show that your children may be secretive individuals, or they may be interested in the occult studies, life after death, or they may take an interest in taboo subjects.
In the worst case, this can show that your children may go through near-death experiences or may even die before their time. This especially applies to the first child. It can also show that they may either engage in dangerous activities, or they themselves may be dangerous individuals.
They may have to go through quite a few negative occurrences in life, and it’s up to them how this will shape them. Some people, when they experience difficulties, become much stronger and more compassionate, whilst others become broken or bitter.
This placement means that you may experience losses through indulgences. Such losses can be about your money, or it can be something to do with your health or life in general. So be careful when engaging in the activities that are of the indulging kind.
If this placement is not afflicted, it shows that you love engaging in the activities that others consider dangerous or scary, such as investigating non-physical phenomena, visiting haunted houses, researching spirit-possession cases, or practicing to see nature spirits.
You might find it relaxing to walk in some remote place or an old graveyard, whilst to most people this would not be such an enjoyable activity.
Also, an unafflicted placement as such reveals that your children are deep characters, not satisfied with surface information, but delving deep into the subjects that interest them. It can be hard to keep your secrets from them, but they will find it easy to keep their secrets from you.
