EIGHTH
HOUSE SATURN
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.
Determination
and good powers of concentration are likely here. The outlook is usually
serious, with a tendency towards depression and sometimes obsession.
This
placing is excellent for someone who carries financial responsibility for
other people, or who has a career in insurance, banking or perhaps the
engineering or mining professions.
A
rewarding and fulfilling sex life is not usually denoted by this placing,
since there are often sexual inhibitions or a form of sexual expression that
makes the subject either repress these urges or feel guilty about them.
There can
be a fascination with, and sometimes a concentration on, the darker elements
of life - an interest in criminology, for instance - and almost certainly a
great deal of serious thought will be given to the possibility of survival
after death.
The
individual may be suspicious and untrusting of others - all too often partners
in intimate relationships. Care is therefore needed that jealousy does not mar
the relationship, especially where sex or money are concerned. In time, the
subject will learn from their mistakes, and this negative tendency will
gradually ease.
Since this
is the Scorpio/Pluto house, and related to the water element, the intuitions
will be quite strong. The subject is encouraged to learn to trust them.
A deeply
ingrained fear of loss may impel one to work compulsively to consolidate the
financial position. Even if unremitting labor, patience, and thrift produce
the expected payoff, a rigidly enforced discipline may be maintained at the
expense of fundamental human instincts such as the need for a satisfying
sexual and social life.
We must take care that in our
quest for security we do not gain the earth and lose our soul. If this
individual can transmute their desire to make good into the determination to
improve the welfare of others, they will find that the investments which bring
the richest dividends are those which contribute to the building of their own
character.
