The 8th and 12th Houses

8th and 12 houses It is the most mysterious, interesting and endlessly fascinating thing in astrology.

There are more searches for the 8th and 12th houses than any other house.

What makes them so mysterious? Is it very attractive? Is it very difficult to grasp it? Why do they capture our imagination more than any other house in astrology?

If you make a house using the cookie cutter method and make it equivalent to the sign, there is something like the 8th house = Scorpio and the 12th house = Pisces, but this is not too much about the deeper function and essence of these houses. He hasn’t spoken.

Get a more nuanced understanding of these homes by applying some of the Astro Butterfly Framework. Angle Theory or The paradigm of light/darkness.

Angle Theory

The premise of angle theory is that you can understand 12 homes. Includes 8th and 12th – Start with what defines them in the first place: angle!

The ascendant is where the horizon was rising when you were born, and descendants are the opposite point. That’s why the Ascendant (and the first house) explains you, and the descendants (and the seventh house) explains the other.

If the Ascendant and the First House represent who you are – your ego, the incarnation of the spirit on earth – and The 12th house,position On the first houseIt represents a lie Beyond the ego: Things we can’t see, not just our blind spots, but things we can grow and evolve.

This is the height of the self, a discovery and integration awaiting our hidden possibilities. It is also our higher, transcendental nature.

In contrast, the second house is just below the first house. It is what we “stand” and what we own. It represents the foundation that supports the ego. Therefore, the second home is associated with money, possessions, talent, food and energy levels.

How about it The 8th house? The eighth house is derived from the nearest angle, the descendants.

The descendants (and the seventh house) are the other. It is where we engage in relationships and seek equality.

The sixth house, located below the seventh house, shows where the other feels “under.” This is why the sixth home is related to work, service and effort. It is where we feel the need to grow, develop and prove our values ​​to stand on par with others.

in contrast, The eighth house is on the descendantsrepresenting a place where we feel we contributed more than our fair share of relationships. This is why the 8th house is associated with intimacy and trust. It is a space where we are ready to move to a deeper level of connection.

However, it could also be a home of rights, reflecting expectations of reciprocity or dynamics within a relationship.

This is where we feel Others “owe” something to ustherefore, connections with shared resources, assets, or inheritances.

It is a home where we seek to delve deeper into our understanding of relationships and human nature, and explore the mysteries and complexities beneath the surface.

The eighth house is something we co-manage with others in a shared, co-owned, and one-on-one relationship. That’s where we experience a one-on-one relationship in some place Intimate Or often a Power imbalance.

Examples include when one partner brings income, it produces a perceived sense of “power”, while the other partner withdraws intimacy as an instinctive response to cope with imbalances .

Understanding a house in relation to the nearest angle (is it below the angle?) gives you a deeper insight into its function. Angle theory explains why The 12th house Self-house, but it represents us Higher selfbecause it is on the top of the first.

Similarly, this theory explains why The 8th house It’s a “relationship” house – it’s because it’s sitting Over 7 days (where we are equal), it reveals the dynamics of force and how it works Trust, intimacy, and control Playing with relationships.

The paradigm of light/darkness

The Light/Dark Paradigm is another lens that allows you to understand 12 homes, using the 8th and 12 homes again as examples.

The premise is based on Visibility – Can you “see” the house? The “visible” house is above the horizon (the house is 7-12 people), and the “hidden” house is below the horizon (houses 1-6).

This framework was developed using daily cycles of the sun as a template for understanding the interaction of light and darkness in our home.

noon – When the sun is at the highest point in the sky – Mid Haven and the 10th House of career and aspirations. This makes sense. This makes sense as it represents the best and most public points we can reach.

in contrast, The fourth houselocated at the bottom of the chart, and represents In the middle of the night – The times of darkness, rest and retreat, which you usually spend at home, are perfectly adjusted to yourself. So the fourth home is associated with home, privacy and our innermost foundation.

If the 10th house planet tends to be very noticeable, the 4th house planet tends to focus much more private and inwardly.

Let’s apply this principle to the 8th and 12th houses.

The ascendant (and the first house) responds to sunrise and the descendants (and the seventh house) responds to sunset.

The 12th house is the first hour of the morningImmediately after the sunrise, we are literally “blind” by the light. Therefore, it is the elusive nature of the 12th house.

The 8th house is just before sunsetwhen the shadows grow and begin to deepen.

In fact, the shadows are the longest since sunrise and before sunset, corresponding to the 12th and 8th houses.

in The 12th house, Shadows have a Western orientationsuggests that what is hidden is related others (West = Descendant = other), the 12th house has themes of karma, subconscious influence, and collective energy.

in The 8th houseIn the shadows East orientation (east = ascendant = me), which means it is tied up We ourselves. Specifically, the parts we hide from others, the truths we are reluctant to share, and the secrets we keep in order to maintain our power, privacy, or control.

The eighth house is sometimes mistaken for private property. However, looking at the house from a light/dark perspective reveals that the eighth house is about shadows, not privacy. It’s the fourth house (midnight house) – that’s the home of true privacy.

The 12th house is often mistaken for an isolated house. I hear “the 12th house” and imagine someone trapped in exile. However, we know that in reality, this description has not reached the mark, especially if you have a ruler of the moon or charts in this house.

People with a 12th house arrangement are often tourists. They travel far (both physically and in particular, as the 12th house is the last house on the chart). A quest to find light – The best expression of yourself. That’s why the 12th house is a spirituality home.

Here are some examples of how you can see your home through the framework developed by Astro Butterfly School.

If you really want to understand your home, that’s right It is important to use a framework tailored to its nature. – The angles that define the house, and the day/night cycles that are unique to them.

These types of approaches help you understand your home on a deep level and truly grasp what you want to distinguish from the signs and planets.
