When exalted Jupiter is placed in the eighth house in a horoscope, Sagittarius rises in the ascendant. Exalted Jupiter is benefic in the eighth house in many cases though it may turn malefic in some cases. This may happen when Jupiter is afflicted by malefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of malefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Jupiter may become more malefic.
If exalted Jupiter is afflicted by two or more than two malefic planets in the eighth house, it may turn significantly or highly malefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such exalted Jupiter can also turn it malefic in some cases, when such theme is highly malefic. The concept of benefic planets turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
In this case, Jupiter rules the first and fourth house. Hence it becomes the lord of ascendant and accordingly, the most important planet in the horoscope. It is exalted and it is placed in the eighth house which is one of the most difficult to handle houses in a horoscope. As a result, this placement of Jupiter can become difficult to handle at times and accordingly, some natives may not benefit from it much. If the overall horoscope is negative, this placement can produce negative results instead of producing positive ones.
Let’s look at some results which may be given by exalted Jupiter in the eighth house when it is benefic. Such benefic exalted Jupiter can bless the native with good results related to health, lifespan, personality, status, reputation, mother, education, properties, vehicles, profession, finances, spiritual growth, marriage and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope.

If exalted Moon is placed in the sixth house in Taurus, Ketu is placed in the tenth house in Virgo, Rahu is placed in the fourth house in Pisces and Saturn is placed in the second house in Capricorn with Mercury, the equation may improve. The overall horoscope may become positive and strong enough to handle some negative planets also. As a result, Moon may form Vipreet Rajyoga in the sixth house of this horoscope. The overall impact of the horoscope can bless the native with good health and a long life. The native may live beyond the age of 80 years. Depending on the finer factors and running times, he may witness some health issues at different stages in his life. However, he may come out of them and that may happen miraculously at times, primarily because of placement of benefic exalted Jupiter in the eighth house and Vipreet Rajyoga formed by exalted Moon in the sixth house.
