Energy in, energy out. That is life.
Makes me think of the 8th House: sharing. Intimacy.
The 8th House is known as “other people’s money” in part because it is the 2nd House of the 7th i.e. your partner’s money. Your partner’s ENERGY. I’ve got Chiron there. Oy. My partners are wounded.
If we do not receive, we lose the energy to give and I was thinking about my own mothering Cancerian energy. It does not regenerate. If I cut off my hands, they do not grow back. The regeneration happens elsewhere in the chart.
And then I get my aha moment: my Moon (Cancer’s ruler) is conjunct Pluto. My Cancerian energy DOES regenerate after all. Hands grow back.
What’s in your 8th? Where’s your Pluto? My 1st House Pluto guarantees I come back from the dead.
Along these lines, I am thinking about the people in my life: those who give, those who take, and the neutrals! I guess I’ve got some of each and sometimes they flip. Sometimes a neutral becomes a rabid taker or is a reformed taker. Yes, I am thinking of someone in particular who always tried to yank me out of my shell. Their needs were of utmost importance. Didn’t matter what I wanted. I cut these people out but if they change, I may let them back in.
And this: RECEIVING IS A SKILL i.e. learning to receive, to allow, to accept, to ATTRACT is a SKILL. If you don’t have it innately then you must skillfully learn how. With Venus in Gemini and retrograde now? Ponder this. Ponder your Venus and your ability to connect and draw to you the riches you require.
Demanding vs. Attracting: they are different.
What do you demand of others?

You said: Ponder your Venus and your ability to connect and draw to you the riches you require. Demanding vs. Attracting: they are different.
so, my question was how are they different? how do they translate in the way the universe responds? and also how does this show up in a chart…
demanding v/s attraction? what’s the difference? would love to hear you on this.
Radha, what do you mean?
Wow, I’ve never heard Pluto and nuturing go together! lol Maybe that’s the message that transiting Pluto has for me as it makes it’s final pass through my 4th house after a 14 year visit.
Pluto is conjunct Uranus and reside in my 1st house conjunct my Ascendant. The 8th house contains my Sun/Mars conjunction so I guess you could say I rise from the dead fast and when you least expect it. lol
What do I demand? Well with my Venus in Aquarius in hard aspect to Saturn, Moon, Neptune, Mercury and Chiron, and taking what I’ve already listed into account, I demand a lot. But I also give a whole lot, many times too much.
Lots of food for thought this post!
thank u
Interesting what you say about chiron in the 8th and partners being wounded..I have that placement and yes it totally fits my experience. I also have Pluto in 1st (so I get the comment about coming back from the dead). Perhaps wounded partners are attracted to strong plutonian energy as it can be very healing..and healing others is a way to heal yourself. hmm useful thoughts.
I demand when I know something is wrong – when I know that *someone* is wrong, and when I’m desperate. When I’m scared, and frustrated. Otherwise, I’m really laid-back.
Moon/Venus/South Node conjunct the cusp of the 8th (in the 7th with Equal). Pluto in Libra in the 11th or 12th, sqaure Saturn, opposed Jupiter, trine that Moon/Venus conjunction. I have trouble receiving. I feel guilty if I think that someone has acquiesced only because I “won”. I LOVE to give, only I don’t have much to give, and I feel worse when my mood tanks so that I can’t at least give smiles. I feel useless when trying to give support, but I’ve had people call me gentle and charming.
Hmmm… What do I demand of others. I silently demand honesty, common courtesy, and hard work. Venus in Cancer in the 2nd house inconjunct Aqua moon and squaring my Libra Mars.
My 8th house is empty with Cap on the cusp. My Pluto is in the 4th conjunct Uranus, trine Venus and inconjunct my Aqua moon. The dead visit me at home 🙂 really!
Interesting you mention “silent” demands. That feels *very* Cancer Venus/Libra Mars to me i.e. indirect until it’s not!
