Venus in Eighth House
© 2000 Curtis Manwaring [ << ] [ >> ]
Venus: Venus in the 8th is one of the textbook examples of a peaceful death (for the native) and a good inheritance. This may well be the case if Venus is dignified or received, or possibly of the sect, but most of the ancient authors disagreed. For example, Paulus: "When Aphrodite happens to be in this place, it will make the matters of the marriage more idle; at times it will point to pederasts, at times to those who are passionate or licentious". [32] The "matters of the marriage" probably refers to sexual relations and/or the ability to have children. And according to Valens: (referring to both Jupiter and Venus) "...they are ineffective, weak, and unable to impart their own goods". [33] If Venus is lord of the 8th and dignified or without affliction, it would seem to indicate good financial luck by my experience.
