The Eighth is the
infamous house of
death. It indicates
destruction, and dishonor and can show
the negative, criminal
or violent aspects of
the mind. It can
represent severe
chronic diseases or
injury leading to
death. It can indicate
those in life whom we
are likely to lose to
death. Planets here
tend to cause us to
suffer over the
affairs they represent
and give opposition
and limitation.
On a positive side, it
can indicate wealth
which can be gained
through inheritance or
legacy, as also those
who work for an
insurance company or
who administer an
estate.
The Eighth house is a
very deep and
mysterious house. It
indicates occult
studies as well as
profound thinking,
research or invention,
mathematics, and
philosophy. It can
give proficiency in
Tantric type Yoga
practices. It gives a
strong and piercing
but not always
beneficent
intelligence and can
show genius. It can
show distant travels
or strange adventures,
both in body and mind.
It is the house of
transformation.
On the negative side,
it shows our
connection with the
dark or underworld
side of life and can
show evil in our
nature. Drugs,
prostitution, and the
power to manipulate
others are shown here.
It gives a strong
sexual passion as
well, and often a good
deal of sexual
attractiveness, but
not usually the
concern for
partnership as in the
Seventh house.
It is the house of
longevity, indicating
our span of life.
Showing the nature of
our death, it also
indicates the factors
that tend to keep us
alive. The negative
and positive
implications of this
house are major
factors for
determining the
ultimate meaning of
our lives. |
