We can see the death from the configuration of the eighth house, accurately pointing out the way the body died or the way it faded. Saturn may mean being unwilling to die or afraid of being outside the body. Neptune may die from drugs, alcoholism, convulsions or liberation during drowsiness. Uranus may mean a sudden death.
But we also experience a variety of mental deaths in our lives. If we establish self-identity through a specific relationship, then when the relationship ends, I will die. Similarly, if we gain vitality from a particular profession, or understand the meaning of life, we will feel dead once we are laid off. Childhood is gone, adolescence is born, puberty is gone, and we enter adulthood. Every birth requires death, and every death needs to be born.
The constellations and planets of the eighth house can reveal the attitude we face when we transition to these stages. Strong people in the eighth house often feel that their life is like a book with many chapters, or a scene that constantly changes the scene. These endings and new beginnings may drive the self, and we may actively destroy the old structures and make room for other things.
In mythology, the gods created the world and did not like the world, so they destroyed everything they built and then rebuilt another world. Death is a continuous process in nature. In mythology, there is a god who represents death and rebirth. He is destroyed from a certain form, and after transformation, he reappears in the world. To give some examples, Jesus was crucified and then resurrected. Dionysus, the god of wine, was first dismembered, but Athena, the goddess of wisdom, saved his heart and he was born again.
Like the Phoenix Phoenix, we may temporarily turn to ashes, but we can still start again, just like a new life. Forms can be destroyed, but the essence does not change, but will reappear in other forms. The German poet Goethe once wrote a sentence: "If you have not been born again after death, then you are only a stranger in the dark kingdom." Those survivors who have experienced the trauma and tension of the eighth house must be able to deeply understand this sentence. The meaning of it.
The meaning of the ninth house
Human beings are between the gods and the beasts. - Borodin
The eighth house means some degree of pain, crisis and torture. We hope that after experiencing these sufferings, we will be able to regenerate and purify, and be able to face ourselves and life more intelligently. When our lives sway to the bottom, try to climb up again, find a way out, then finally be able to look at life from a macro perspective, but also understand that life is just a journey of disclosure. The ninth house of the fire elephant is essentially related to Jupiter and Sagittarius. The ninth house is separated from the abyss of the eighth house, and it can provide a broader explanation for the various events that occurred in the previous stage. We have also accumulated enough life experience and the ability to find out the purpose and significance of this heroic journey.
In the entire star map, the ninth house is the most directly related to religion and philosophy, and it is about the question of "why is here." We can see the truth in the ninth house, and we will try to clarify some of the basic forms and laws of reunification. From a certain point of view, the suffering of the eighth house will drive us to move in this direction. If we can find out the reasons for suffering, it will be easier to endure suffering. If we run counter to the laws and truths that exist, and therefore suffer, then by excavating and following the rules of the ninth house, it may be possible to reduce some of the pains that must pass.
Life seems to need a little meaning in life. We obviously need some absolute and clear perfection to inspire enthusiasm, or need some discipline to control life. If there is no meaning, we often feel that it is not worth living, there is nothing to look forward to, there is no reason to fight for anything, completely lost the direction of life. Many psychologists believe that modern psychosis is mostly caused by the lack of meaning or purpose in life.
Whether or not this statement is true, we feel somewhat comforted when we believe that there is a greater thing "present there." That is to say, there is a coherent model in the universe, and everyone must play a special role in it. Whether it is our own creation of the meaning of life, or the need to discover the arrangements and will of God, and to explore the laws of the universe and the goals, purposes and meaning of life, is the focus of the ninth house.
