Book 1: The 2H, 5H, 8H, and 11H Cross
More about the 2H/8H house interpretations exclusively on my Patreon. All parts will only be found on here. I’ll be covering each house in this modality and how they work in various contexts including square aspects: https://www.patreon.com/posts/64320389

Houses of similar modality create squares. In my article (https://www.taisoleil.com/articles/2021/9/1/tjvliwt37fwgyp0vioce120hvmtp9v) I said squares can box you in because these houses fall into the same realm of routine, compared to Trines that fall into elemental similarity that can keep us in the same mode of thought. However, that doesn’t mean we cannot transcend this by taking this box and flipping it into something that can continue to function in routine. 4 and square energy runs on routine, but it doesn’t have to be boring! A routine can always be lively, and this is how with this Cross:
2H: Gains
5H: Create
8H: Refinement
11H: Reimagine the dream
How Houses of the same modality Work:
2H: Gains
5H: Create
8H: Refinement
11H: Reimagine the Dream
The 8H isn’t always about loss, but refinement. One cannot refine their gains of the 2H, the creations of the 5H without the 8H. To make a sculpture, you need to chip away rock. Sacrifices create the refinement we need to reach the 11H or reimagining the goals in order for it to be accomplishable. This is because the 11H is the house of dreams. The biggest hiccup that comes from these 4 corners is the gain from the 2H but not the willingness to release from the 8H. We never want to lose anything, just gain. This is not how life works. In order to reach a goal, what causes you to slack must be let go of. If you are someone who likes to go outside, you have to sacrifice video game time in order to reach that goal. If you want to be better at communicating, you have to get over your fears that cause you to not speak. The 8H is the blatant issue. It is in the light part of the chart, which means the blatant things you must learn to deal with and/or utilize in order to get to the next stage. Avoiding the 8H means avoiding the 11H, avoiding that dream. Avoiding the 8H also means avoiding the understanding that you gain from your most polarizing moments. You eventually gain understanding in the 9H, as it is the house of enlightenment as I’ve talked about before. The Sun is in its joy in the 9H, so always keep this in mind when that the storm must pass in order to see the light again.
The 5H helps us create. This is the inner child. The 11H helps us conceptualize this and know that this is just more than moments we can connect with, but this can fall into any pocket of your life if you so choose. The 11H is commonly slept on as a dream space. This is where we can think of how far things can go. We create in the 5H, and then we use the 11H to reimagine the goal so it refresh itself. It’s similar to the 8H, but where we give the idea new roots, not getting rid of weeds in an 8H fashion. The 5H is the tree, and the 11H is the realization that this tree can grow fruit, and its seeds can make more trees.
This can definitely coincide with my manifestation series with me covering the 11H as well. So, be sure to reference this as well to get full context as I’ll be referencing this when I get back to that series.
