Placement of Ascendant and Ascendant lord

Yoga karaka Planets and their status in the chart (Avastha)

Dasha / Bhukti at the time of query (Planetary periods)

If any malefic transit is happening over the yoga karaka planet or the ascendant or the Moon.

Placement of Moon and its dispositor

Can anyone wear a gemstone of combust Venus in the 8th house in Capricorn Lagna?

When one is trying to make a debilitated, combust planet strong, one should show utmost caution.

Never think that by wearing a gemstone of a weak planet, that the planet will become positively strong. This might also turn negative.

Though Venus is a partial yogakaraka (benefic) for the ascendant of Gemini it would be best not to wear a Diamond (or any other gem stone specified for Venus) when it is placed in the 8th house from ascendant.

The 8th house represents carnal cravings and desires beyond ones reach. Enhancing this factor will only burden the native with stress, tension and dissatisfaction.

The trik sthanas (the 6th/8th and the 12th) are sensitive and are not to be taken lightly.
