*+-I was on the train thinking about the 8th House. Not my 8th House but the 8th House of others. For me it’s not a big player (as I type this though I am disagreeing with myself!) although Pluto is prominent in my chart, in my 1st House, conjunct my […]
8th house

*+-Lately I’ve been reading astrologer Jeanne Avery and I LOVE the way she describes the 8th House. She calls it the house of “getting your needs met.” And the context for her is primal – the needs that are rooted in childhood. I have Chiron in Aries in the 8th House… […]
*+-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 […]
*+-What is it you want to show me? What is it I need to learn from you? Why do you keep showing up in my life? I’m thinking of one friend with this placement, one person that I used to sleep with, one person that I want to sleep with. […]
*+-Alimony, accountants, ancestors… The 8th House is one of those houses we whisper about. Memorial services, the bladder, bankruptcy… There’s some embarrassment about it. You see planets in the 8th House and right away you “know some things” about that person. Autopsy, death, life after death… There’s more 000h and […]
*+- I’m a 12th House girl. Not an 8th House girl so I speak from experience and observation. And I’m starting to feel like George Carlin and his football vs baseball routine: Said in macho voice: In football you wear a helmet. Said in sweet voice: In baseball you wear a […]
*+-I am soooo excited to be here! I’ve had no time to blog today before right now. Been in readings but now I’m happy to be writing 🙂 And I want to talk about last night. I suppose I should talk about The Stars Today or The Stars Tomorrow but […]
*+-I feel a mother’s love for my clients. I have a Cancer stellium in my chart: Sun, Mercury, and Mars. I dislike that word “client.” Clinical sounding. But I feel a mother’s love for them nonetheless. I want them to do well. I want to do well. I may not have […]
*+-Every client is a blessing and a really cool thing that happens is when I get to work with people on-going. My teacher, interestingly enough, told us that he *didn’t* want this kind of astrology practice although his teacher did. I’m comfortable with it. I like it. Even though my […]
*+-No time to blog today so here is another repost… Relationships always bring you back to yourself… in maddening ways, but ultimately good, transformative, 8th House ways. Understand this: Moon Pluto people are always struggling in their intimacy. Wrestling with themselves. They are too intense, too domineering, they give too much, or they withhold. They […]
*+-A few months ago, an old friend sent me a coffee maker. I’d never had a grown-up coffee maker before although I did have one of those little silvery colored espresso makers for Cuban coffee. Well I realize that I love taking the old, used coffee filter out of the […]
*+-Today I feel like my mother. I remember when I was in college, she called me to tell me my father had died. I kind of “knew it” already. And honestly I was relieved that it wasn’t my sister. Yes, that thought ran through my head. If someone had to […]
*+-The thing about intense emotions is… drum roll please… they are YOURS to play with. Mars is in Leo, folks! Time to play. These intense emotions are not your mother’s or your lover’s or your neighbor’s or your dog’s. They are your beautiful feelings. And they are there for you […]
*+-When I was taking my astrology class, the teacher tended to do mini-readings for us so we could learn how to do it ourselves, for ourselves, and for others (well, that’s what it was for me). And there was often a theme for me… about needing fewer animals and more […]
*+-My sister has an 8th House Aquarius Moon and lately I’ve been trying to help her sort through a psychological puzzle. I can’t be too specific here… just that there’s a behavior she wants to change and I’m suggesting she get to the root of it. When she comes up […]

*+-Yesterday I wrote about needing to seek peace with my body. I’m still in that space. Food and sleep are affected. Energy level. Mental energy. So I look to the transits for clues. And then I look away. Sometimes, yes, sometimes, you have to put down the chart and… think […]
*+-I love the movie In The Realm Of The Senses and I love this still from the movie. Look at how she’s cradling him. Look at her expression; even her face appears to be holding on for dear life. And his? Kind of bemused, right? Like.. he gets it, he […]
*+-I think the 8th House is also the body. Because we meet others there, inside it, inside the life of this house. The 8th House is our deepest relations with others. Sex, intimacy, death, and that interesting 8th house catch phrase ” other people’s money.” Resources shared. What gets exchanged. […]
