SECRETS OF THE 8TH HOUSE: AND “Shh” IT IS A SECRET.

EYE ON ASTROLOGY: SECRETS OF THE 8^TH HOUSE: AND IT IS REALLY IS A SECRET.

The 8^th house, like its natural counterpart the 8^th sign of the zodiac, Scorpio is a mystical, sexual, transformative place filled with mystery,  surprise and highly charged energy. Its transits are dreaded but if we master it, it brings us major life transformation and new light to move toward liberation and freedom.  The 8^th house is like the magician’s magical box—anything that goes in it can be transformed.   Will the lady get sawed in half and become a different person entirely. While many dread 8^th house transits and dashas, we can understand and embrace them for deep knowledge and transformation.

Traditionally the 8^th house governs research, addictions, kundalini energy, occult power, knowledge of astrology, longevity and if we master it, we can use its knowledge to unfold enlightenment or moksha.  The magical knowledge of the Guru is contained here who will unfold it for the devotee, the seeker of truth and liberation.

Eight house placement reveal secret weaknesses of the chart and can bring unexpected surprises  that test the transformation of the soul.   They force us to overcome our problems in the material world and move us toward spirituality and the Divine. When we miss the calling and lessons of the 8^th house, then we can suffer acute illness and have painful lessons.  Here we are taught the painful lessons of death, endings, transformations, dreams and if we can find the energy for spiritual transformation, we can move through this troubled realm.    The secret of the 8^th house is that we must turn to spirituality, to yoga, meditation and spiritual initiations if we are to overcome our challenges.

The eight house is a very sexual house which reveals our Kundalini Shakti.  In our early life, we may not know what to do with this energy and it is so powerful and intense that we have to engage it in fits of Scorpion passion and mating in order to find peace but usually this leads to sexual addiction when the energy goes down the spine. People with planets here are sexual beings. They often have problem with sexual relations and it forces them to look at their kundalini energy and discovery that no amount of copulation will satisfy their deep longing for the Divine.  If one can get to spiritual initiation and meditation, then we can fulfill the calling of the 8^th house.

The 8^th house is always a game changer and beckons us to explore our inner world. This may come about as our material existence, our health, may suddenly be uprooted by surprises and we must use these challenges to seek for something greater and bigger in our life. We are more than our physical body or our bank account and we must discover our Divinity or suffer the anguish of the 8^th house.   We must dive into the mysterious darkness of the transcendental world here and discover our own Divinity or suffer.

The 8^th house can bring up great fear but that is only there to lead us toward self-discovery to uncover our true Being.  Only when we drop into the mysterious void can we discover our own infinity.  The 8^th house may create challenges with health to force us to learn that we are bigger than our physical body and that we are truly Infinite.

Still the magic of the 8^th house if the Lord is well-placed and planets here are not afflicted is that it can bring great financial boons:

•             Jupiter – Bank money or Interest or Insurance
•             Venus – Gifts or Legacy from opposite sex, Wealth / dowry from Marriage or Partner’s income
•             Mercury -Business Loans, Sudden gains from Intellectual work or Skills, Wife’s money, Financial help from in-laws
•             Moon – Gains from Dead, Sudden Cash Inflow, Will
•             Sun – Gains from Father, Paternal Property
•             Mars – Gains from Real Estate, Land
•             Saturn – Gains from Agricultural Land, mines,
•             Rahu – Gains from In-laws, Paternal Grandfather, Gambling
•             Ketu – Gains from Maternal Grandfather

Strong 8th lord gives liquidation of debt in its time period so again another gift of money of the 8^th house.

8^th house Dashas and transits bring change and transformation. When we resist the call for change we suffer.  Look at the messenger here and let go of the past and what does not serve you any longer.  Change of profession is likely if the time period of 8th lord operates.  Saturn here will bring long-life but still long suffering.

Certain rising signs will not be tainted by the 8^th house and it will not be considered a malefic.  For Aries, Libra, Capricorn , Sagittarius Lagna, the 8th lord is not considered malefic. That is why for Sagittarius rising the moon is a good friend even though lord of the 8^th.

The 8^th house is a place of acute illness. With 6^th house illness, we can use diet and exercise and discipline to overcome the challenges but 8^th house illness is more acute and karmic and harder to transform.   Major malefic aspects to the 8^th house may cause painful death and incurable diseases.  Too many planets in the 8^th house can create multiple and complex health issues.  Remember the call of the 8th house to move to something bigger and your illness may be overcome with grace and spiritual initiation.

So embrace the mysteries of the 8^th house. Move beyond sexual desire to desire for true freedom. Embrace the calling here and realize that you are so much bigger than this body, your bank account, your material existence and use the energy of the 8^th house to transform your life and you will be free.
