*+-I need to write about my spiritual life somewhat. I want to write my spiritual autobiography and I don’t want to write it here. I’m also working on a couple of other writing projects so — I can’t yet. But in the meantime I need to write some about it […]
8th House
46 posts
*+-Mars is still in Cancer. I have Mars in Cancer in my natal. Sex (Mars) to me is the most personal (Cancer) thing in the world. Mars rules my 8th House. The 8th House rules sex. It is PERSONAL. Private. There are worlds between my actual sexual experience and what/how […]
*+-I woke up this morning thinking about resources and my Nodal axis. I have a Virgo South Node. I am obsessed with the material world, what I can touch and taste and literally handle. PROOF. I am also obsessed with the spiritual world — I have Venus in the 12th […]
*+-Someone wrote to me with a question about her Uranus transit. Uranus through the 8th House. I’m having this too. The first thing I think is (here is an example of my astrological thinking): -what does Uranus mean? And then I think: what does the 8th House mean? That’s the […]
*+-The 8th House rules sex. I like the way Rex Bills lists it: “sex, sexuality, sex force, sex energy, sex organs…” and a few entries later I find this “soul, liberation and purification.” What’s not to love? 😉 Clearly there’s a relationship between sex and the soul, whether or not […]
*+-I knew my mother’s Yartzeit (anniversary of death) was coming up but I wasn’t sure when. I follow the Jewish calendar, which is lunar, and the date changes each year. As well, she died during a (Jewish) leap year so the date can even switch months. And I kept remembering […]
*+-Yours truly MoonPluto is not a frequent flyer. And that is one way to read a natal Saturn (fear) in the 9th House (travel). Although with such a placement, one could make a profession of it. Travel for work. And when I was younger I was always leaving. Lots of […]
*+-When you have a problem to solve, often a multi-faceted approach is best. Try a few things. Tap into a few streams. Ah, the stream! That’s the image (or one of them) for today’s lesson 🙂 Story: yesterday I requested my roommate open her bedroom window. It’s winter. She’s been […]
*+-This odd thing is happening. I am feeling that I want to do more phone/in person readings and fewer email readings. Not that I would refuse email and I still love doing readings by email, but I think my process is changing and I am feeling the desire to have the […]
*+-A friend of mine once told me (sigh) that I didn’t have enough SEX on my blog and writing about 50 Shades of Grey this morning has got me thinking about it. Not that I need or want my blog to be SEXY. That’s not my thing. But that I […]
*+-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 […]
*+-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 […]
*+- Dear Readers, if you’ve had a reading with me and enjoyed it, please consider writing a little testimonial for the blog. It’s good for biz. Also would be awesome for you to describe what makes readings with me special, different than other astrologers. Not that I’ve had readings with […]
*+-A wild and wicked week so far. Â A wild and wicked day. I remember telling a client the other day that this day may find her feeling topsy turvy because she’s ruled by the Moon (Cancer Rising) and the Moon made so many aspects today and not all of them […]
Last night I had dinner with my best friend/ex-boyfriend. He’s like a mother/father to me. Once a week we have dinner, for years now. And he tells me he’s been diagnosed with cancer. *** He’s a Cancer Sun, Aries Moon and Mars. The Full Moon in Libra is this week. Full […]
*+-It was someone else’s idea. Not mine. And I wrote two blog posts not even trying to address it, but sharing some personal details, mostly Sun signs. Anyone can Google Scorpio and read SEX SEX SEX and ignore everything else about Scorpio, or research Aquarius and call them kinky but… […]
*+-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 […]
*+-Our bodies get tired. Our spirits don’t. This was an interesting point mentioned by my meditation teacher last night. Interesting, on one level, because I sometimes feel spirit-tired but I trust my teacher and the text he was reading from so am giving this idea some thought. The body ages, […]
*+-Â 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 […]
*+-I’ve been watching True Blood and really enjoying it (Season Two) and waiting for my next discs to arrive in the mail. And it was a Vampy metaphor that came to mind today when I was thinking about the 2-hour Astrology Lesson I gave yesterday. This is what I typed […]
