Allot of you have been asking me to make this for all ascendents so I made a guide post to help you decode what someone keeps private, secretive, or fiercely protects. This can be applied to tropical too just skip the nakshatras
To use this guide, look at a birth chart and find:
The Planet(s) in the 8th House (or the 8th House Lord).
The House where the 8th Lord sits.
The Nakshatra of the 8th Lord or planets in the 8th House.
The planets ruling or sitting in the 8th house show the type of energy and themes a person keeps hidden from the public eye.
