Jupiter in the 8^th house can provide longevity to the person if He is well-placed. The 8^th house is associated with death, transformation, sudden events, hidden treasure, relations with in-laws, occult sciences, etc. If Jupiter is strong in the 8^th house, then the person will be protected from much of the losses and negative things or accidents that might come their way otherwise. Life-threatening accidents may only cause somewhat manageable damage, and they will also have an inclination towards religious areas of life and may be spiritual.

A positive Jupiter in the 8^th house would also mean that the individual could potentially earn money through inheritance since the 8^th house also signifies wealth through inheritances as well as sudden financial gains. From the 8^th house, Jupiter’s 5^th aspect or Drishti falls upon the 12^th house which if inhabited by a friendly sign could also signify income from foreign lands.

If afflicted, Jupiter in this house may increase the chances of the person suffering sudden losses due to whatever reasons; their relations with their in-laws and potential loss of lifespan too if Jupiter is badly affected like being conjunct with multiple malefics or aspected by them.
