Waterloo. A person opens new chapters of life energetically, bravely, and decisively—at least, that’s how they should open them. In reality, however, this is not so simple, especially when these chapters—such as a new job, spouse, or territory—open up on their own and very decisively, often failing to evoke positive feelings in the person. When Leo is afflicted, there may be phobias toward anything radically new that imperatively changes life, to which the person, as they subconsciously feel, will never truly adapt. With harmonious aspects, on the contrary, the person welcomes changes, readily marries, divorces, and changes jobs when circumstances are favorable, knowing it will always turn out for the better. Generally, this house placement provides firmness and courage in tense and critical situations, which the person may display to the surprise of not only others but themselves as well. Psychological crises proceed intensely and are often connected with the idea of direct authority (over oneself or others), which the person fails to establish. This position of the 8th house carries a Plutonian nuance, since Pluto rules the 8th house and reaches its culmination in Leo, thus demanding the sublimation of the thirst for external power. Overcoming crises involves raising Leo’s octave—developing nobility and adhering to high standards and ideals. Relations with group ethics, if Leo is not entirely harmonious, are complicated: there is a tendency to subordinate the will and ethics of the collective to oneself, which may result in a backlash. At a high level, this is the ideologist, publicist who passionately denounces social vices and proclaims ideals and norms. In occultism, the person is drawn to magic with an energetic-volitional emphasis; strong power of suggestion, ability for hypnosis.

Psychological crises proceed intensely and are often linked to the idea of authority. When afflicted, there may be phobias toward anything radically new, difficulty adapting to the changing times. Resolution requires cultivating humility, self-control, mastery over oneself, nobility, and adherence to high personal ideals. Clear, steadfast resolution of issues related to risk. The impact of negative situations is often strong, persistent, sometimes prolonged. Danger of risk, sharp extreme situations—catastrophes, fires, fractures, injuries, burns, fire. Inclination toward energetic magic, hypnosis, suggestion.
Pavel Globa. Houses in the Zodiac Signs
LEO—strong involvement in social life. Ambition for power, courage, absence of fear, constant combat readiness. Immense endurance. Capacity for desperate actions, broad scope. Craving for transformation. Talent for teaching. Possible fatal love. Death—due to heart attack, or an honorable death.
