8th house your lesson part 2/2

Sun in the 8th: “Hells Solar Flare”

“I’ve watched the world burn a thousand times over-the same screams, the same human like tendency to cling to agony admits the flames”

The spiritual manifestation of having the sun here deals with a past life in which the native often committed sins of the ego. The past life was one riddled with the attainment of ones “identity” by the means of both literally and figuratively devouring that of those who stood in the way of this pursuit. In many ways these natives were acting out the sin of pride-being both unmoving and intolerant to the pains and woes of others, completely insatiable yet seemingly arrogant to their own personal flaws. Due to the 8th house and it’s dealings with death more often than not these natives died due to their arrogance-their unwillingness to see past the suns rays, to experience Pity. In this life these natives have been granted the ability of the ego; not only does this allow them to see through others but it also allows them to illuminate the darkness in others bringing it to the surface or the light so to speak. These natives can read energy with a simple glance and even more so than a Scorpio sun they can see your beginning and end with the touch of a hand-lying is pointless, running is futile. The sun here grants a fast healing process of the body, along with a healthy constitution for most of life. The death often occurs once this life lesson of humility in the form of human understanding and compassion is reached later in life. Your death will be a show, one that many will swarm to witness-and it’ll be your heart most likely to give out first like a true lion.

Moon in the 8th: “Dragon Heart”

“Her eyes had a bit of coolness in them, as if she could eradicate a nation without a second thought”

The spiritual manifestation of the moon here unlike its 12th house counterpart points to a past life in which ones mother has returned once again as both a guide as well as a means of forgiveness in this life. These natives often lived a life emotionally on edge constantly looking over ones shoulder for the next violent act of betrayal. These natives constantly, despite the tender nature of the moon-fought endearingly day by day for their lives-fights that robbed them early on of their youth-their ability to see the good and the more innocent side of man. The mother was the focal point in the past life as she often either manifested as the natives greatest villain or the natives biggest regret. Emotions are felt like a heavy and almost apocalyptic furry for these natives especially due to their heightened nature which allows them to pick up on small nuances in vibrations, emotional cues, and heart fluctuations such as an increase or decrease in ones heart rate. These natives operate on an entirely different emotional level than most people which at times can be alienating, though both their benefit and detriment this receptive nature allows them to intuitively gauge situations, especially situations that could prove to be more malicious in intent. These natives were often guilty of not upholding to the commandment of of honoring ones parents specifically the mother. The lesson in this life is to learn through women-to heal through them, to let go of your mothers sins and find forgiveness in your heart whilst nurturing those who’ve lost their way as you once did. The death often occurs by means of a gradual decline of ones digestive system along with the upper chest! The death is often tender as if god is tucking you into bed.

Mercury in the 8th: “Oracle Of The Labyrinth”

“In the eyes of many, in the eyes of none”

These natives often spent much of their past lives in the shadows, constantly dancing from situation to situation never really settling in any one scheme or agenda, living a life completely like one complete network. There lies an innate darkness in these individuals often due to their mischievous, yet naturally inquisitive nature; they can’t help but want to know it all like some sort of opened book. The sin associated with this placements is often greed as in most cases these natives were both ruthless and even in some cases without morals as to who and what they went after so long as they retrieved what they desired. In this life these natives are blessed with a mind immensely quick and agile-a mind that can decode a room in a matter of seconds without a thought, along with a sharp intellect these natives are capable of picking up languages rather easily due to a past life full of travel. The tongue is their deadliest weapon and can easily sway a nation to its knees if truly mastered. The lesson here is to learn generosity-to share ones knowledge with others opening a better chance for those around you to be the best version of themselves. The life is often long! But death can occur whilst abroad and will most likely be something that manifest in the arms and eyes it occurs quickly due to the nature of mercury and can seem as if it happened before you could process it.

Venus in the 8th: “Fallen Angel”

“It was shallow, endless and pitch black-yet as my wings once a ghastly luminescent white faded to a dim Black I felt a sense of beauty in the fall”

These natives are an enigma-often the theme of life and death decorate them even those who aren’t truly in-tune with this energy don’t realize that they unconsciously leak off a divinely pure energy yet a tainted shadow lurks behind it. The past life of these natives was centered around themes of lust and gluttony and more often then not these natives were at the mercy of their desires. A natural sexuality exist with these natives, and even more so they have the ability to awaken the more impure sides of others but in a more odd occurrence the darkness they extract out of others only serves to purify these natives. Sex is taken with much caution in this life and is often something that takes much time to truly master for these natives as they can easily lose themselves to their past life traits if they’re not careful! They have been blessed with the gift of eternal beauty which allows them to create love and unity where ever they are even in a world at war! The lesson in this life is to find an outlet for their passionate energy and to truly learn the depth, as well as intimacy involved in love-to love without expecting gratification to just love simple and pure. The death is often peaceful-the voice my begin to fail near death along with a subtle influence to nature around you seeming to bloom.

Mars in the 8th: “Cerberus Hound”

“Like wild muts we marched, the blinding cold, the barren land, pure isolation lay before us-though ever so hungry we paraded on, hungry, starving, salivating for the taste of war”

Ah many with this position often carry quite an intense level of inner willpower and strength inside of them; an almost endless reservoir of both presence as well as tenacity in the face of darkness. These natives often committed the sin of wrath-basking in their rage and in most cases allowing it to devour their own thoughts and actions. In some cases mars here can point to a past life in which one might’ve killed another or many out of anger, enjoying it or rather I should say relishing in the Satiation of their instincts. These natives in some ways are both intimidating with good reason as often they carry the aura of their past life around them-making them both physically sharp-and immensely quick on their feet when it comes to reading the actions of other as well as their body movements and language. These natives are often involved in the darkness or shy away from it, those that shy away from it are usually very clumsy and lack proper grounding mainly because they are disconnected from their instincts-while those whom tend to live in the more murky waters of the 8th house tend to be extremely magnetic in their body movements almost moving like serpents. The body tends to move on its on in response to previous experience in the life before. In this life anger is THE HIGHEST priority at mastering as often these natives can easily be consumed by hate causing them to become extremely malicious. Don’t let your anger eat you alive! Find an outlet before you do something you regret. The death might involve a obstruction of the mental faculties and brain! Death might be violent if other aspects don’t say otherwise! And one thing I’ve noticed is that vehicles can be dangerous to be driving or around when mars is transiting Pluto or Uranus and please don’t drive whilst feeling anger as it can cause you to make mistakes you normally wouldn’t.

Jupiter in the 8th: “Dubious Prohpet”

“The mind was a prison-the world was filled with hidden strands and cables holding is up like puppets”

Jupiter in the 8th house natives have been bestowed a massive amount of genuine spiritual guidance! They can see the world, the whole picture not just the small bickering-the wars or even the individual manifesto; they see the whole world as it is through its pain and it’s unjust tendencies and because of this they often embody the role of the Oracle all seeing and all knowing. These natives often embodied the sin of sloth, sitting and gorging the many undiscovered truths hidden behind each nook and cranny often at the expense of others. The world was their oyster but they lacked the drive or ambition to do much of the discovering, only taking the experiences of others for their own. In this life they’ve been granted the knowledge of their previous life often allowing them to revive from trauma others could only dream of-they’ve lived it, they’ve seen it all. These natives in this life have a guardian angel watching over them, in some ways it’s luck but this angel also serves as a reminder of how quickly luck can turn into agony-as these natives can often see the sky turn black at the moment of selfishness being exhibited. In this life they must learn to experience the world through their own eyes-to serve as a medium for the divine for those seeking truth and to find the truth themselves. The death could be of cancer due to Jupiter’s expansive nature especially of the cells. The worlds greatest questions once out of reach are answered at death. Often these natives develop a friendly relationship with god upon death.

Saturn in the 8th: “The Gatekeeper”

“They stood tall and broad, faceless-bodies full of bloody holes and torn ligaments; flesh hung of their bones like decoration, yet their they stood without a tinge of emotions-just quietly somber walls”

Those with Saturn in the 8th like with most generational planets in the 8th have endured a past life a immense tragedy, some would say Saturn in the 8th can mean of life that was stricken with the most unforgivable side of man. These natives often experienced a past life that brought them face to face with hades himself-through constant struggle and endless suffering these natives witnessed death, love, chaos and bloodshed-rape-mutilation-humans eating one another and even things such as demonic intervention. These natives and the cruelty they experienced often forced them to create a mental barrier from their suffering often for the well-being of their own health. These natives have committed no such crimes in their past life but unfortunately due to the nature of Saturn this points to a robbing of ones innocence as often these natives were forced to grow up, to serve as their own emotional crutch from the harsher side of this world-they worked endlessly to build a persona strong enough to put the devil himself to shame. These natives often died alone in their last life yet they died in peace. In this life these natives are presented with the option of happiness or continued Wallowing, to either move on from the fear and restriction they plague themselves with or to allow it on take away another opportunity at life once more. These natives have an incredible healing ability and can easily put those around them at peace with just their presence. A deep and soulful love is emitted from these individuals one that could warm the coldest of hearts. Their is an endless yet suffocating wisdom about them as if you’re in the presence of something great. The death is often long and prolonged after a long life-but it’s often a silent death-I’ve noticed that their deaths are often a happy time for their loved ones as they finally get to see you off-to see you finally let go and be at peace.

Uranus in the 8th: “The legion”

“It felt as though I were on some sort of plane looking about copious timelines and vapors of myself in a screen door filled with millions, I knew in the moment that we were many”

Uranus in the 8th house natives are often the finished link as they say, mainly due to the fact that these natives as ventured between the cosmic and the world of the living many times over-often finding themselves alarmingly connected to something beyond this world or the next. Emotions are hard to reach for these natives as they often unconsciously assign different aspects of their feelings or trauma in the face of one of their many past life strands. The science here lies in the fact that Uranus influence here is without Saturn as would be with Aquarius which would normally ground the spatial influence isn’t present here. In the case of Uranus in the 8th house they’ve actually developed a network between each of their past lives causing each persona to manifest itself at different moments and times, at varying emotional hurts and slights and even drawing them towards past lovers and family members. The “why?” You’re looking for doesn’t exist as these natives often operate by a coda which I like to call the END. These natives often come into this life “aware” and as they grow they will begin to unify the many “personalities” and varying lives into themselves as their soul grows in this life. The goal in this life is to become whole once more-and to use their completed self as a means to guide the rest of the world out of the repetitive self destructive tendencies it repeats in every life. The death often occurs later in life but under bizarre circumstances! It occurs swiftly and these natives are said to be on their last reincarnation cycle.

Neptune in the 8th: “The Martyr”

“The looking glass kept the shadows out, yet to my astonishment I seemed to be out side of the looking glass-casting a shadow”

Neptune in the 8th house natives can often suffer from what I like to call the undead syndrome even more so than the above mentioned generational planets as generational planets have a looser grip to the world of the living. These natives often spent their last lives weaving back and forth between realms often as heretics and mediums-seeking a meeting with those not of this world. The past life was one riddled with the theme of being used as an object or a means to an end for another; in some cases these natives were used for their bodies or even their innocence both mentally and physically often durning youth and adolescence. Natives with this placements can feel random bouts of guilt and sadness even feeling grief from seemingly out of nowhere as if something is being “tainted” before there very eyes. I’ve seen this aspect manifest in a self destructive manner in some be it through drugs, the undead, multiple bed partners or complete emotional indifference or emotional limbo. It’s very easy for these natives to fade in and out of consciousness and in some cases these natives are more at risk for demonic entities seeking them out as these natives often possess latent psychic abilities ranging from projection to out right precognition! It’s important to note that these skills are dangerous to use without proper training and often these natives can easily awaken forces beyond their control if they dabble to much in the occult! Not to say you shouldn’t but one should be weary of what they might bring forth. The lesson in this life is to learn grounding! To find a way to anchor oneself to this present life otherwise they run the risk of losing it all together-for if the soul is lost their is nothing to reincarnate. The death is mysterious and very obscure! Might be able to see the soul leaving the body.

⚰️westworld - This world

⚰️westworld - something I can never have.

Pluto in the 8th: “Cataclysm Hand”

“I’ve met him-his grey locks, his long flowing robe both rugged and torn as if he’d been traveling over the Red Sea since the beginning of time itself; his eyes had the strangest absence of color, so pale and so frighteningly absent of life-I was in the presence of the devil”

In the case of Pluto in the 8th we have a native who often resided in a very dark side of life in their past life and even for much of this life these natives continue to seek it out and vice versa.These natives see the world through an observant and even curious lens-endlessly learning through the pains and lows of others not necessarily out of malice but merely out of a desire to understand the meaning of suffering-to better understand their own pain. These natives often deal with the black hand as they say-mainly because these natives have in some way shape or form met hades in their reincarnation cycle and for better or worse that confrontation has shaped who they have become in the present. Those with this placement have a almost unbelievable amount of spiritual strength- in the case of which often these natives may attract less than desirable spirts(including those of malefic nature) yet possessing the capability to fend them off through sheer spiritual alignment alone. These natives often feel perfectly at home in the darkness which is often why many are scared of these natives and at times even more inclined to showcase their more darker and instinctual traits out of fear. These natives have the ability of judgment-often being able to rectify those in need of being ridiculed or guided to the right path. These natives have a natural ability to transform and meld themselves into a stronger version of themselves time and time again-constantly shedding off parts of their personality or even psyche that are holding them back in any way. A deep power to transform others is present here, as well as a readily accessible trait to dive into their own darkness and face it head on; in some ways they take on their darkness-emitting it like a beacon yet don’t be fooled this embodiment isn’t a sign of them falling privy to their lesser traits-in actuality these natives have a internal understanding of the realm of darkness serving as the light inside the shadows. The lesson in this life is mainly to wonder out of the shadows! To meet those who illuminate you as well as showing them the darker side of themselves-to find unity between hell and heaven. The death is often prolific in nature and intense like a baptism.

The Health Benefits of Staying Organized: An Interview With John Linden

Ever since I moved into my very own office — away from the dirty laundry and magazine piles of my home office in the bedroom — I’ve been studying the relationship between space and productivity/mood. As I organize my files, hang paintings, and eliminate the first threats of clutter, I am paying special attention to what promotes health and creativity and what destroys it.

Interior designer John Linden knows this subject well. He is a nationally recognized designer of mirrors and other wall décor and is the editor of TheMostChic, where he shares some excellent advice and knowledge he has gained over the years as a designer. I enjoyed his piece The Science Of Staying Organized – 5 Ways I Learned To Keep A Tidy Home so much that I wanted to learn more.

Therese Borchard: Did you really test over 50 strategies to come up with your five best practices to get organized? I’m curious, what were some of the strategies that didn’t work?

John Linden: I did. My wife and I just moved into a new house about 16 months ago, so with that move, we wanted to break with some of our old habits. Once we made this decision, I found there was tons of advice out there about how to stay organized at home (and in general). I’m a tinkerer at heart, so we decided to give each idea a fair shake.

Many of the “best practices” I encountered were simply tactics, like “how to clean the microwave better” or “how to sort through your mail.” In general, the ideas that were too complicated or too time-consuming worked poorly. This leads to the next question, but this experience taught me that the most powerful ways to stay organized are also the simplest.

I work as an interior designer — and my wife works full time too — so the idea of working another few hours on home organization after a long day of my own work just was impractical.

Early on, some ideas I stumbled on were very focused on scheduling and preparation, especially with laundry and meal planning. Even when I was really trying, I just couldn’t keep up. Ultimately what stuck were bite-sized ideas that didn’t require a ton of thought or motion.

Therese: Your five steps differ a little with the KonMari method, in that you encourage people to begin where they are, not with a certain category. How would you tweak Kondo’s method with your own wisdom?  

John: Just to start, I understand KonMari’s popularity and think it’s a good system. Fundamentally, Marie’s point is about simplifying, which is exactly what I found to be the trend among all the things that actually worked.

For differences, I think Marie’s “does it spark joy” idea has the right intention, but it’s a little too serious for me. Just speaking from experience here, whenever an idea — like lifting weights, keeping a healthy diet, or cleaning house — becomes too much of a personal statement, it can be really hard to pick it back up once you’ve dropped the ball.

To put it another way, whenever you raise the stakes on something, if you drop off, it can be really easy to put up psychological barriers to re-starting, as facing that failure can be tough. In my experience, a lighter touch and less pressure makes the normal rhythm of stops and starts more psychologically manageable.

Another thing to consider is that you really only see how people have completely changed their lives with KonMari. You never know how much is just for Instagram and how much is the truth. In any case, seeing tidy, perfect homes can be both a blessing and a curse. If you are just trying to do a little better, it can feel like a burden when every house you see is Architectural Digest-ready.

Therese: Let’s talk about health. What have you found in your research about clutter contributing to disease?  

John: There’s the obvious stuff. I mention air purifiers in my article because they work really well, are cheap, and help with dust in the house. As we all know, a dusty environment can lead to problems breathing, especially if you have asthma, etc.

Air quality is the lowest hanging fruit for sure. I did read a bit about how cleaning can reduce the likelihood of common colds, flu, etc. but much of this was promoted by the cleaning industry, so there’s some bias there.

Some other things to consider are just the visibility problems associated with too much stuff. Mold, mildew, water damage (the list goes on) can be more expensive to repair and can cause more damage when you have more stuff. It can also be harder to spot.

Same goes for insects. I read an article about a brown recluse spider colony hiding out in a clutter-filled attic. Definitely not something you want in your house.

Therese: How does staying organized promote health and emotional resilience? 

John: There is an old adage that your space reflects your mind. I’ve found this to be true. Very rarely does an organized mind tend toward a disorganized space and vice versa. To take that a step further, keeping a clean house, car, desk — whatever — has one huge benefit. Mundane organization tasks will drain your energy through the day.

There is this great book called “The Willpower Instinct” by a Stanford prof that talks all about how simple tasks, like deciding what to eat for breakfast, cleaning off your desk, etc all drain our energy and lead to poorer choices. The author’s theory is bigger, but that’s the idea. Here’s a summary.

The constant hum of tasks — think reshuffling paper on your desk, searching your fridge for food — will drain your energy, making your decision-making worse and your mental fatigue greater.

Therese: Explain how multitasking interferes with the organization. 

John: I’m actually working on a multitasking article right now so I’ve been reading about it a lot. The basic principle is that you shouldn’t multitask. Forever researchers have been explaining how the brain can’t actually multitask — it can just switch from one thing to another thing quickly. This concept arrived way before the iPhone did. When smartphones started taking over, however, it became way more relevant.

To answer your question, most people multitask with their phones. The problem with this is that you actually never get anything done, so you feel like organizing your space is impossible — because it takes so long. Have you ever reflected on your day and wondered how it took 8 hours to make lunch and drop off a package at FedEx? Much of this “time warp” has to do with how multitasking affects our perception, making us feel like we’re getting things done while we are actually just on Instagram.

Since our minds are engaged, if halfheartedly, in organizing, we perceive it to be a much more laborious task than it really is. In other words, what five minutes of focused effort takes ends up being three hours of distracted time wasted. To your brain, however, you feel like getting anything done will take three hours, making the prospect of organizing less and less attractive.

Therese: I love what you say about looking at pictures. Can you expound on the power of images to inspire? 

John: As an interior design, I know firsthand the power of images. I use inspiration boards for every project and learn about my clients’ needs through imagery more than anything else. People are drawn to beautiful images in general. Think about the biggest websites on the planet — Instagram, Pinterest, and so on. These are basically just collections of images.

Harnessing this power to encourage yourself can be very beneficial. People use this trick all the time with weight loss and other personal goals. Think about all the advice focused on “visualizing” success.

The other side of that coin should be considered. Remember that all that glitters isn’t gold, especially online. If you have a personality that is very alpha and competitive, you can work yourself up over not having the tidiest, most organized, best color coordinated and so on.

Like I mentioned in my article, know thy self. If you can take the good ideas others put online and integrate them into your own effort, then do it. If you can’t handle seeing the master organizers of the internet without turning green with envy, then stick to goals where you can feel like you’ve achieved something. This will help keep that motivational flame burning.
