Is Saturn placed in the 8th house good or bad?

Meaning of fourth house of the D-9 Navamsha chart

While there can be many different interpretations of the third house and what it represents in the D-9, one theme that will always be common is the ability to fight for and defend one’s beliefs and life path.

What are the best placements for Moon in the birth chart?

It doesn’t matter if the Moon is placed in the 5th or 10th which I said are the stronger placements for it to be, if the Moon is conjunct either of the nodes, there is associated with it a great deal of chaos and transformation. It doesn’t matter similarly, if the Moon is in a difficult placement such as the 6th or the 1st house, if it is in a powerful ‘nakshatra’ that is by nature very beneficial and lucky such as let’s say ‘Uttaraphalguni’ or ‘Purvashadha’, the Moon is still quite strong. Similarly, difficult ‘nakshatra’ placements even in good placements will be difficult to deal with. For example ‘Ardra’ and ‘Moola’ will have a great deal of chaos associated with them no matter where the Moon is placed in the chart.
