It is considered the darkest house as it is linked to death and illness. However, it is also the house of growth in terms of opportunities for research studies. As per Vedic astrology, there is no lord in the 8th house.
The number in the birth chart becomes its lord. For instance, if number 5 is written in the 8th house, its lord will be Surya or Sun. So the lord of the eighth house varies with the birthchart.
Wealth: This house is not directly linked to wealth. However, the planet’s Drishti or gaze tells you about wealth. For instance, if Shani or Saturn is situated in the eighth house and gazes at the 2nd house, the person faces large expenses. If Budh or Mercury is located in this house and gazes at the second house in astrology, it enhances financial stability.
Marriage: The 8th house is not for marriage. Instead, it is the house of the spouse's family. So, if Venus is situated in this house, it tells you that you will have a financially stable spouse and family. On the contrary, if Mangal or Surya are situated in this house, then the reverse happens. In general, the 7th house is for marriage, especially for females.
Health: The eighth house in astrology is linked to the body part, that is, the legs. If this house is afflicted, then there is a chance that the person might suffer a leg injury.
Career: The 8th house-related career includes research work, scientist, doctors, technology and engineering, forensic science.

Job and Success: A good eighth house in astrology offers the person a good job in research work. It also makes the person more focused and determined, helping the person move towards the goals.
To make the eight house positive in astrology one is suggested to wear a gemstone. If the lord of any house that is situated in Kendra or Trikon and is placed in this house, it gets debilitated, and to give it power, the associated gemstone is worn.
Let's see what gemstones you can wear:
Neelam stone and Moti are the gemstones that should not be worn for the eighth house. This is because the ruling planet of Neelam stone is Shani, which is the karak graha for this house. Since it is in a powerful state, it is not suggested that one wear a gemstone for it.
Moti stone is ruled by the planet Moon, which is said to be inauspicious for this house. Wearing a Moti impacts the health of the person, and thus, one should avoid it.
To conclude, one should always consider the advice of an astrologer before wearing any gemstones for the house. If you are seeking a natural gemstone to make any house in your birth chart powerful, visit Navratan, the online gem bazaar.
