House VIII: The House of Transformation / Epicataphora

- Other people's money
- Intimate bonds
- The occult and hidden knowledge
The Void Speaks
In the eighth house, we confront the ultimate transformation - the dissolution of the self. Here, we learn that all possessions, relationships, and identities are temporary illusions. Our resources intermingle with others', just as our atoms will one day disperse back into the cosmic void.
Manifestations of Despair
- Obsession with mortality and the impermanence of all things
- The realization that all wealth is merely borrowed from the void
- The futile attempt to achieve immortality through legacy
- The paradox of seeking depth in a fundamentally shallow existence
Shadow Work
The eighth house forces us to confront our deepest fears about mortality, dependency, and loss of control. It strips away our illusions of permanence and self-importance, revealing the raw truth of our temporary nature.
Nihilist's Ritual
Sit in a cemetery at midnight. Write down everything you own on pieces of paper. Burn each paper while contemplating how each possession will outlive you, belonging to others or returning to dust. Remember that you too are merely borrowed from the void.
