Blending aspects?

[Big Dipper]

When it comes to having a house ruler, lets say someone's 2nd house ruler, and that planet is in a hard aspect to a planet does that make the second planet add a twist to the house of the 1st planets ruler?
For example, lets say someone's 2nd house is ruled by the moon, if they have a saturn/moon hard aspect does that mean you blend in the meaning of having saturn in the 2nd house as it hard aspects said persons 2nd house ruler?
Also, when it comes to 2nd house ruler, if it is placed in another house does that mean whatever that house represents will have a focus on the type of work one will gain money? - we'll go with moon again - Let's say 2nd house ruler Moon is in 9th house of publishing, would that mean that person may be more inclined to gain money through publishing?

Generally speaking, yes, consider this as well as everything else.

Then what would be the difference between someone's mercury being in the 8th house vs their mercury NOT being in the 8th but hard aspecting their 8th ruler?

Having Mercury in the eighth house is not the same as having the ruler of the eighth house in opposition to Mercury.

The interpretation is different. Taking them individually, Mercury in the eighth house is a “predisposition,” the aspect to the houses governor is a “nuance,” which must be fused. Taking the whole birth chart into consideration.

This is true, you can also treat a house as a 1st house in relation to where it's ruler is placed. For example 8th house ruler in 7th house can be seen as being in the 8th house's 12th house, and so on. Through reflecting on these in thought experiments you can understand how the houses relate to one another, maintaining objectivity though of course.

When a ruler is aspected by the planet in question as dear Hs666 said, you have to firstly consider the nature of the ruler and it's condition, and then the aspecting planet's influence. Every placement, degree etc. in relation to the ruler for that detail, and then move onto the next detail of the chart you are studying and do the same for this. Also remember to reflect on the basic placement information irrespective, especially in charts with little to no aspects which are useful to study that.
