A Planet in the 8th House: Gets Into the Same Situations Over and Over. It Has to Do With Its Connection to the Dead!
Question: What would you say about planets in the 8th house? Planets in the 8th house both fascinate as well as instill fear in us. We have a kind of love-hate relationship with them.

Moon-Pluto Synastry: Psycho-Emotional Bond
Question: My Pluto is exactly conjunct my husband’s Moon. We went on one date then got engaged. In many ways, he seems to be the living embodiment of some deep, half-conscious yearning in me.

I stared at the picture for a long time,...

Uranus in the 12th House Quotes: Something Really Weird Will Happen to You and You Won’t See It Coming!
The 6th and 12th houses which are concerned with a new quality of relationship, a new mixture of individual and world. They are the houses of alchemical transmutation. It has always annoyed me to see these houses, especially the 6th, relegated to simple definitions like “work” or “self-undoing.” They are extremely complex houses. The 6th deals with new relationships primarily on a physical level, the 12th primarily on a psychic level, although the two are not so neatly divided, which...

Water Void: I feel Like I Can’t Catch My Breath
Question: This is just my opinion on the matter. Water voids (no planets in water signs) can be a blessing because they don’t have all the inner emotional turmoil of people with heavy water placements.

I don’t see water voids as uncaring or unemotional. They just might have a different...

Uranus in the 8th House Quotes: Why Do Relationships Keep Blowing up on You?
Loss is very much part of Uranus’ expression in these houses, although loss can occur on many levels, not just the literal one. When Uranus is in the 2nd or 8th, our definition of permanence is subject to challenge, and our understanding of attachment may need to alter radically. We have to learn to rely on resources other than the obvious ones, the conventionally recognizable resources, and discover that the only permanent thing in life is the eternal system. We...
