astrological houses

8th house

the 8th house goes where it's deep: sex, trust, grief, crises and what you share with someone — money, debts, secrets. it's the house of things that end so others can begin. it shows how you deal with loss of control and with real closeness. planets here tend to bring intensity.

what the houses are

the houses split your sky into 12 areas of life — body, money, home, love, work and so on. they're set by the exact time and place you were born, so two people born on the same day can have very different houses. a planet in a house shows where that energy tends to show up most.
