Neptune In The 8th House

Neptune in the 8th house is an influence in astrology. There are 12 houses in our natal charts. The 8th house is governed by Scorpio. This house is a mystery house in astrology. It is associated with death, rebirth, and regeneration. It is also one of the houses linked to sexuality. 

A person born with Neptune in the 8th house will have an interest in finding their soul mate. Neptune is a planet which is very dreamy. It idealizes everything. This does not mean that decisions made under this planet's influence are always ideal. Neptune governs the astrological sign of Pisces. This is a sign associated with self-sacrifice. It is the bleeding heart of the zodiac. They will see the beauty in any person. This will sometimes put them at risk in their lives. It can make them choose the wrong partner. This influence also can suggest a sexually transmitted disease in certain cases.

There will be a desire to be part of a spiritual world. Dream analysis is one way they will wish to connect to the mysteries in life. Neptune is very much connected to dreams whether they be of the nocturnal variety or merely fantasies. This interest in dreams is something which may cross over into their sexuality. There will be a sense that their sexual desires are difficult to achieve. They may give too much sexually and financially.




Jupiter Trine Venus

Jupiter is trine Venus in my astrological chart today. This means that Jupiter is going into the later degrees of the sign of Cancer. This occurs once every 12 years in astrology. Jupiter spends 1 year in each astrological sign. This planet governs the astrological sign of Sagittarius. It is an astrological sign known as The Archer. This astrological sign likes to take at at something far away and give it the best shot it can. 

When Jupiter is trine Venus this means that we will find it easy to feel a connection with other people. Love and money are associated with the planet Venus. There is luck in these 2 areas when this transit occurs. Unfortunately this transit lasts only a couple of weeks. This transit is a good one for developing business plans, but you may feel a lack of discipline. Venus is a bit of a self-indulgent planet. It is more interested in enjoying life rather than doing hard work.

Jupiter in Capricorn

Jupiter in Capricorn is a debilitated placement. Capricorn is one of the most serious astrological signs. It is ruled by Saturn which is the taskmaster of the planets. Jupiter will be less free wheeling as it does a year long transit in this Cardinal Earth sign. 

This personality type finds expansion through structure. They are good at directing events. Their gift is one which is practical. They can become caught up on financial rewards. This can stymy their successes in life. Typically they are ethical people. Their conduct is mature and pragmatic. Integrity is a pronounced personality trait. Goals are directed towards long term achievement. Short term gratification is not something strived for.
