How did we wander so far away from the interpretation of the 8th house 🤔
“The eighth house is the portal into the landscape of the underworld into which all life forms die and descend; it stands opposite the second house, the Gate of Hades, from which life and the wealth under the earth rises from the underworld. Entangled with the significations of death, the second and eight. houses both deal with gains and losses of money and substance. While the sec ond house is generally gain or loss from ones own efforts, such as earned is-come, the eighth house designates gain from others, such as unearned income, primarily from inheritances but also dowries, financial assets from marriage or business partners, as well as investments, trusts, loans, alimony, child support, and welfare subsidies. The goods, coins, jewelry, and furnishings buried orit the dead, as well as the distributions of the goods of the dead, including wi legacies, and bequests, were understood as eighth-house matter. The loss d the eighth house were not only people but also finances from busines failure debts, lawsuits, and taxes. The Hellenistic astrologers, in their interpretations of planets in the eighth house, as with its opposite, the second, focused upon the native's general good or bad financial matters.
The Arabic and Medieval astrologers further developed the significatos and procedures for assessing the nature, cause, and timing of death, one's on and that of others, both from the natal chart and in horary inquiries. They formul ed a number of Lots (Parts) that were used in the analysis of this top, sua the Lot of Death, the Lot of the Killing Planet, the Lot of the Year of Danger, br Lot of the Place of Sickness, and the Lot of Distress."
The eighth house was considered weak because it was not connected to the life force. Consequently, its significations included many of the unfortu conditions of life due to this inherent weakness—shortness of life, frailty dae critical illnesses, poverty, failure, subjection to crime.

I had a reading from a Vedic astrologer and was told I couldn’t finish my divorce process because it wasn’t in my chart. I am legally separated for 10 years now. What’s slowed me down is the fact that he refuses to pay or disclose his finances. ( highly narcissistic)
I will be able to move forward with help from the courts but the astrologer told me I won’t be able to unless I fast on his lunar return monthly. What are your thoughts on this as an astrologer or ethically speaking ?

With the full moon last week leading up to pluto Rx tomorrow. I am here to remind you of your worth 💜

Mercury in Ta**us square Pluto in Aquarius today. Time to slow down. We have to decide whether we want to be kind or right. Sometimes we can stop and smell the flowers and smile at strangers.
