And while the 7th house can describe your romantic partner, it does not describe the "marriage' or the "relationship" per se. The 7th house is like the courting period or the engagement, but to get a sense of the nature MARRIAGE or RELATIONSHIPS in your life, you need to look at the 8th house... The 8th house describes the actual committment, the "meat" of the relationship once the dating period is over.
I found this of a site-is this really true?i thought of the 8th house in a different way. IP: Logged |

Sweet,I think what this site was talking about is "derived houses". There is a progression in the symbolism of houses: 1rst house being about how we begin our life and 12th house being how we end it, and all the other houses in between being the different stages of our life. In this system each house leads to the next. So the lessons of the 1rst house (being) lead to the lessons of the 2nd house (physical). Derived houses is an attempt to apply this progression of houses ANYWHERE in the chart. So ANY house you begin on "becomes" the 1rst house. In the example you gave, the 7th house would "become" the 1rst house. So when we look at the beginning of the relationship, we look at the 7th house. Following this logic, the 8th house "becomes" the 2nd house. So when we look at physical outcomes of the relationship, we look to the 8th house (i.e, the 2nd house from the 7th house). Derived houses are fascinating, because they can allow us to "zoom in" on the outcomes of house focuses and to gain some insight on the houses (e.g., What does it say about relationships to say that the "physical" outcome of relationships is other people's money (8th house)?). However, for some, (such as me!  ) this system becomes confusing, as each house stands for something other than what it "normally" stands for. So I suggest using this system fo derived houses if it helps you better understand house issues (such as relationship issues), but not to use it if it becomes too confusing to you!

future,I've tried using it in interpretations, but have found that the regular 12 houses work best for me in doing chart interpretations. However, it is interesting to me to think about them from time to time. Thinking of houses, Tim IP: Logged | |
