💫I’ve said it before, and what better time than when discussing the cosmic shake ups of eclipses to say it again: the 8th House is not for the faint of heart. Ruling over topics like death, mortality, your psyche, debts, and intimacy, there’s nothing casual about this area of your chart. Similarly, you’ve had to navigate events, revelations, breakdowns, and rebirths since April 2023 that have been anything but casual. The eclipses of the past 2 years brought with them a process of pyro-catharsis in the deepest, darkest, most intimate areas of your life that have had a truly transformative effect on
your mental health, closest collaborations, and identity as a whole.
I say you’ve been experiencing a “pyro-catharsis” rather than your run-of-the-mill cathartic events, because we are talking about Aries, after all. Since April 19, 2023, eclipses have been turning up the fiery dial of courageous individuality in your Aries-ruled 8th House of intimate collaborations, initiating painful yet necessary endings or unexpected yet fated beginnings along the way. This is a House where the tangible, material world collides with the more subconscious, liminal spaces we engage with, making your experiences during these eclipses run the gamut between extremely practical, deeply psychological, and profoundly spiritual.
While some of you may have purchased a car or a new home with a partner at some point within the past 2 years, others took on or resolved considerable debt, received grants, or were somehow impacted by significant tax breaks, returns, or bills. As the 8th House deals with other people’s “stuff”, and these eclipses have landed on the axis which differentiates “Me” (Aries) from “We” (Libra), these eclipses may have had a more pronounced effect on or direct connection to your partner; with some Virgo Risings’ romantic or business partners being laid off, losing supplemental income, revealing issues with debt, or receiving a raise/bonus. Others may have started going to couples therapy, trying a new therapeutic modality, or becoming more invested in and connected to varying occult practices.
Eclipses are moments when the lights of the sky (Sun or Moon) are momentarily blotted out; which can be akin to the loss of life, as someone’s light is forever “eclipsed”. When this happens in the 8th House of Death & Mortality, it can indicate that you will experience a significant loss as well as the emotional devastation that death wraps us in, and all the ways in which our lives undergo a deep metamorphosis once we emerge from that chrysalis of grief. Some of you may have lost a loved one in past 24-months and been challenged to sift through what feels like charred ash and shadowy remains in order to find the fearless, most resilient parts of yourself that are meant to carry on in spite of your lost connection, with a greater appreciation for life and a more self-guided purpose. As this House hits at the intersection of shared material resources and death, some Virgo Risings may have received (or will soon be receiving) an inheritance of some sort as a bookend to this eclipse series as it comes to a close on Saturday, March 29th.
Now that we’re reaching the closing act of this storyline with Saturday’s final North Node solar eclipse in Aries for the next two decades, expect for energies to emerge and events to transpire that impact the ways in which you engage with management of finances, emotional vulnerability, and processing grief with your most intimate partners and collaborators.
