The Eighth House – Death and the Idle Place
Ancient astrologers understood the primary meaning of the Eighth House as Death, which modern astrologers have reframed as the catastrophic loss of what we most cherish. In this archaeological dig into the mysterious Eighth House, discover how its meanings have radically changed over time and which conditions lead to anguish of the mind and which to great inheritances. In the process we’ll ask if transformation and sexuality belong in this dark shaded place, and if so under what circumstances.
The supplementary topic presents an overview of the themes involved in the causes, nature, and timing of Robin William’s death, including an important Hellenistic Length of Life procedure that brings us to the conclusion of his life.

Asteroids can bring us to the brink of the great mystery when we discover their significations woven into the tapestry of our fate from the moment of birth. They have been linked with spirit guides, daimons, karma, and destiny, providing the specific details of the major life themes indicated by the planets.
In addition to Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta, astrologers now have access to zodiacal positions of more than 20,000 named asteroids. This course will propel you into the study of all those other asteroids. Personal names of important people in your life, geographical places that hold special destiny for you, mythic deities that span world cultures can point to vocational paths and life-altering experiences, historical personages with whose work you are attuned, and broad concepts that contribute to your character.
