The twelfth and eighth house are the main stages where our sufferings take place. If in a horoscope one or both of these houses are pronounced, traditional astrology will certainly foresee an unfavorable outcome
House eight also shows the effect of social rules ( the rules of the society or social group you belong to) on you as well as the effect you can have on the values of those around you. It also indicates the access you may have to other people’s money and resources.
When we consider that the main preoccupation of most people today, particularly in the United States, is to take care of some kind of business and that business problems are constantly confronting us, it is quite strange that the astrologer has no very definite place to look for which matters in an ordinary birth-chart.
The eighth house is the field of joint resources. This house deals with possessions that are not earned by you, but obtained through relationships or inheritance.
