=--n--=The Eighth House, has a direct bearing upon death and all matters connected therewith, such as the goods of the dead, legacies, occupations connected with death. Now if it happens that evil aspects of the ponderous planets are coinciding with the passage through this house, it is most probable that deaths may occur in your social circle, or deaths will in some way effect you, or come in possession of goods left by death. The influence is a very pronounced and decided one, and its effect will be to awaken the latent possibilities of you at this time. You will be more determined and will become very firm in decisions and may through a fixity of purpose carry ambitions to a successful issue; but there is a dangerous side to the passage through this house. For with the feeling of firmness that accompany it you will gain some knowledge of inherent power, and will arouse now any pride or dignity that may be latent in your nature. Feelings of jealousy will also be experienced which will incline to caustic utterances and sarcasm, when vexed or offended, for the gentler side of the nature will be overlaid by this apparently coarser vibration but it is the awakening of the real potency of the nature that will give rise to this change. =--nn--=This period is also not so good for the health of some who become here susceptible to feverish and inflammatory conditions and also likely to act more from impulse than from careful thought. You cannot be too discreet with regard to the opposite sex, and all actions should be thought out beforehand, as the result of any rash conduct at this time will be likely to cause you much sorrow and trouble in the future. Hence you must avoid all rash and hasty tendencies and eschew disputes and quarrels, for the least excitement is apt to arouse the passional nature to its fullest expression. But much of course depends upon the Horoscope at birth as to what aspects are formed by direction for the year inquired of. [Illustration: Chart of the Lumanus]
