Arethusa in the 8th House
Arethusa in your 8th house brings refuge and transformation to intimacy, the shared, and the depths, the truest echo of the myth. Your sacred source runs deep underground, surviving and transforming through crisis. The gift is a regenerative source that endures the depths; the work is to surface and share what you carry rather than keeping the deep waters hidden forever.
Lean in — Carry your source through the depths and let it resurface.
Watch for — Keep your deep waters hidden through every crisis.
