Sappho in the 8th House
With Sappho in the eighth house, artistry and deep friendship concentrate in intimacy, shared depths, and transformation, so your art reaches the profound and your closest bonds are intense and all-in. The gift is transformative art and friendships of unbreakable depth. The shadow is possessiveness in close bonds, or art that consumes. The growth is depth without control. At your best your art touches the buried and your friendships are bonds that survive anything.
Lean in — Let your art and bonds go deep without grasping for control.
Watch for — Let intensity in art or friendship become possession.
