While, in contrast, it is from the 8th house, we determine how long a person will live in his lifetime.

A strong 8th house can mean that the person will live long in his life. However, life itself is a form of suffering and that fact that we are living itself is a suffering. The 8th house also represents the misery, hardships and suffering in life.

This is the reason why, when a native has his 8th house too strong, even though he lives very long, he does face lots of obstacles, challenges and suffering in his lifetime.

However, the aspects of some planets on the 8th house grants the native will a very long life.

Saturn is the main Karak planet for the 8th house. When ever Saturn aspects or sits in the 8th house, the native lives long in his lifetime.

Similarly, Sun is the king of all planets and Sun represents our soul and our heart. When ever Sun aspects or sits in the 8th house, then also the native will have long life span.

Apart from the 8th house, it is also important to see the 1st house. Because the 1st house represents us or our body. Whenever, the 1st house is strong in the birth chart, the native lives for a long time.

Another important factor to consider is the 8th house lord. The strength of the 8th house lord eventually determines how long the person will live. If the 8th house lord is afflicted by planets like Rahu and Mars, the native becomes prone to accidents, and illnesses in his lifetime.
