Hi Elsa,
How do we compare when a sign is in the house it’s opposition rules? For instance, Taurus in 8th house / Scorpio in 2nd house.
It feels like Orange colored Apples, and Apple colored Oranges.
This 8th house/Scorpio/Pluto energy as much as I value it, is a source of so many problems I’ve had in my life.
Thanks!
This is a great question that baffles many. There are two primary ways to look at these situations. Together they should help with clarity.
First, don’t lose site of the fact that signs that oppose each other have things in common and can complement each other. For example, Taurus and Scorpio are both fixed and persistent in their own way. Virgo and Pisces, service and sacrifice, go hand in hand. So straight away, it’s not that crazy a thing to consider.
Once you get this in your head, consider the difference between a planet and a house. A planet operates. A house describes the arena where a planet operates. For example, the Sun in Taurus in the 8th house, might be a stable therapist! A calming undertaker. A banker! A tax man…
There is really no conflict with this, just confusion.
I have it. It don’t seem confusing to me. I thought it was called mutual respect.
I have me but I get the bonus of including some of my shadow side traits on the sunny side.
Literally. Sun in Taurus in 8.
While I’ve grown kinda used to it I still can’t say I ‘like’ the death piece.
I read your story n I get it.
And I still don’t like it.
I see ppl their last time. I get feelings intuitively bout death even tho I try to play em off.
All of the family (the dead) pics, report cards, certificates, furniture, memorabilia etc etc are with me n try as I may I can’t get rid of it all.
Fascination with the death process. Fascination with the grief n sadness of everything and everyone involved in death.
Fascination with messy aftermaths.
It’s all so morose but I’m used to it.
