Sometimes this link indicates the relationship will come about through a death and, in extreme cases, the one whose SATURN is involved may be the cause of the other's death.'

--

There it is, folks. Ronald Davison, per his popular title 'Synastry', as it pertains to the SATURN / 8H overlay.

The big question remains: how do you correctly read that?

At first, in reading ' ... in extreme cases, the one whose SATURN is involved may be the cause of the other's death,' I presumed -- and perhaps erroneously -- that he was asserting that SATURN might be responsible for the Eighth House individual's death. But on reviewing the full sentence, ' ... the relationship will come about through a death,' indicates, off the bat, that couldn't logically be so; to whom would SATURN be relating if the 8H is dead? Follow?

So, clarification is needed.

What do you think Davison is saying? Is this a link which can -- in extreme cases -- implicate SATURN in the 8H's death? Or does he mean to imply that someone else's death, likely known to the 8H, would be responsible in some fashion for bringing the relationship about -- and the SATURN might also be responsible, or involved, regarding the death of the other individual -- but not the 8H's?

However if two partners live up to the challenge of the Saturn in 8th house, it could also be a very binding factor. I donīt think that it ALWAYS means you are doomed to be torn apart. It certainly depends on the role Saturn is playing in both charts.

also, in natal astrology, Saturn in the 8th house prompts longevity in life , delayed death until very old age.

Saturn in partner's 8th house may bring about control issues as the Saturn person may try to withhold sex in order to control the other person.
