In progress
Long-form reference for the Eighth House is being written.
The skeleton above covers the core reference — theme, natural ruler, angularity, life areas, axis partner. Deeper sections on planets in this house, empty-house readings, transits through the house, and the common misreadings layer in as they’re finished.
In the meantime — run your birth chart and see which sign rules your 8th and which planets live in it.
