How to Work With a 8th House Year
- Face the shared-money paperwork in the first quarter: debts, taxes, beneficiaries, joint accounts.
- Deepen one intimacy by telling one truth you have been managing instead of sharing.
- Give grief a container: a ritual, a practitioner, a standing hour where it is allowed.
- Have the conversation about wills and what is shared.
- Let what is finished be finished. Keep what survives the fire.
