EIGHTH
HOUSE NEPTUNE
The uncovering of
secrets -
The House of Investments
The field of renewal and release
Elimination. The extraction of essences.
Expenditures. Death and legacies. Other people's possessions. Business corporations. The stock market. Taxes. Sex and regeneration. Research. Restoration.
Psychoanalysis. The partner's resources.
Inheritances. Insurance.
A person
with Neptune in the eighth house should be exceedingly cautious and
straight-forward in business dealings, since this position poses a distinct
possibility of deception in money matters through the desire to make a quick
profit. Economic reverses exert profound psychological effects, impressing the
mind with the futility of staking happiness on material gain.
This will
be a more than usually powerful placing for those with Neptune in Scorpio,
adding intensity and deep, meaningful passion to the sexual nature. This
sphere of life will be rich, providing it can be expressed in a full and
positively rewarding way.
Sexual
problems of a vague or insidious nature can cloud the vision and undermine the
most idealistically conceived projects. However, if the libidinal forces can
be channeled into creative endeavors, transcendent experiences may eventuate.
There is extreme sensitivity to the web of subtle feelings and causes which
underlies the visible world.
If the
subject is at all confused about the form of sexual expression to which he or
she is most attracted, it might be advisable for them to go into therapy to
remove any feelings of guilt, or deal with negative or inhibitive emotions.
The powers
of seduction are certainly endowed by this placing, and the individual will
attract members of the opposite (or same) sex like a magnet. As a result, the
sexual sphere of their life may well assume an above-average importance;
nevertheless, it does need very positive expression.
Generosity
will be present; as it is when Neptune is in the other money house, the
second, but the individual may take a rather gullible financial attitude
toward the partner. Care will be needed here, and professional financial
advice is usually to be recommended unless the chart shows considerable
money-making potential, in which case this placing could add imaginative
flair, Nevertheless, a strong level of caution should be present in the chart
if this talent is to work well.
