That would be all well and good…except that my husband has been battling terminal cancer for 2 years and it looks like it is becoming increasingly serious (metastases to the brain). I am an amateur astrologist, but I think I know what this means. His Asc is Libra, with the moon in my sun sign Aquarius placed nicely in his SR 5th house (actually exactly conjunct my natal Mars at 10 degrees Aq.)

What gives? Does this mean what I think it means? How else could I see it?

I will listen to anything anyone has to say. I’m not unbalanced, not freaking out, but a heads up would be an easier way of dealing with what looks like his impending death.

Thoughts?

This year my sun is in my 8th house. There are alot of other things going on as well; Zero degree MH and Nadir, 0 degree Uranus conjunct Jupiter in 5th House trining my 0 degree Natal Venus in Leo. .. I thought I was going to win the lottery!

Instead the small business partnership I have with my father went bankrupt and my income was cut in half. I frantically moved out of a house I love and into a much smaller place. It’s been an adjustment, and felt like a death (of a lifestyle and home). I am surprised that I don’t really miss the old place! I have fond memories but it isn’t as bad as I thought it’d be.

I have issues with my bad tempered, judgemental father. His not seeming to care about my financial situation angered me and brought up alot of childhood issues of feeling abandoned and not cared for by him. I am getting over it and dealing with the emotions that I thought were long gone. I have, emotionally, let go of my father after this event.

I have made new friends and become very close to them. They are like family to me. Which is very reassuring after not feeling ‘at home’ with my father.

My father is very old, and although healthy, is showing sudden signs of deterioration. His memory, his body parts causing him problems and failing, crashing his car and ‘finally’ admitting that it’s not safe for him to drive. (whew!) It is hard to predict a death in the family, but after studying this year’s chart, my Solar 8th house is in Taurus, Venus in the 9th. and next year’s, when I’ll have beneficial Jupiter conjunct my 4th house cusp, I believe this may be his last. I stand to inherit money from him, hence the 4th house Jupiter for 2011.

As far as sex goes, I’m not dating anyone, although I’d like to. And I have had 4 offers .. all from men who are married. 2 of the offers include thier wives who’d like to have 3-somes. This is not what I’m interested in.

My Solar year is only half over, so who knows what else may happen. I feel the worst is over and it can only get better from here. Who knows? Maybe I WILL win the lotter after all.

Thanks for letting me know that good changes can happen with an 8th House Solar Sun. Letting go of things, attitudes and people which may be hindering my growth feels good.

If you’d like to check my Solar chart, my Natal data is: June 7, 1951, Burbank, CA 9:50 am PDT.
