Eighth Sector
This house is about rebirth, regeneration
and the transformation of energy. Joint financial matters
also come under the eighth house. (To the ancients, money
is a form of concentrated energy.) The financial dealings
in this house do not include earned income (that would be
covered by the second house), but do cover money you lend
and also owe others. Prizes, gifts, inheritances, tax payments
and refunds, bonuses, commissions, royalties, child support,
alimony, mortgages, credit, loans and venture capitol are
the kinds of transactions ruled by the eighth house.
Any time you need money to fund a big idea, your chances for
success would all come under this house. This house also would
indicate the state of your partner's prosperity.
Gifts and transactions of all kinds are included in this house,
and physical love‹sex and reproduction‹is also included here.
(Note that in astrology, the fifth house is love, the seventh
house is marriage and the eighth house is sex, all different
houses.) Spiritual and highly intuitive or even psychic experiences
are often found in this house too (along with the twelfth
house). Finally, this house rules endings and things to be
discarded. As such, surgery is covered here.
This house is ruled by Mars and co-ruled by catalyst Pluto
and by the intense sign Scorpio.
