The 8th House
(sex,death,taxes)
The Eighth House represents the field of experience in which you are challenged to make peace with three fundamental instincts the urge to "mate," our sense of mortality, and our instinctive suspicion that behind the surface of life there lies a hidden, mystical dimension.
In the Eighth House you experience three basic human instincts in a radically heightened way...
The first instinct is sexual... Not simply having intercourse, but also allowing yourself to bond fully with a partner, letting the primal sexual "program" in your deep psyche manifest... Riding the roller coaster, trusting it, even though not alone can completely understand it.
Death is the second Eighth House instinct.
Again, we let ourselves flow with something deep within us... Learning consciously something that our cells know automatically... That death, like sex, is just another biological roller coaster, spooky maybe, but worthy of trust.
That leads directly to the third instinct: our sense of immortality... Something deep and trans-rational in us knows there is a realm beyond death... Life has an "occult" dimension... That is, a hidden one... Without an acceptance of that intuitive feeling, we live forever under a shadow of futility and foreboding... You have lessons/wisdom to learn here... Let's consider them.
