Toward Ecosophy

Each house has two different sets of meanings. There's the meaning that it has by itself, and the meaning it has in relation to other houses. The 8th is the house of death, change, and magic -- that's the meaning it has by itself. It's also the house that follows the 7th, and so it functions as the 2nd house of the 7th -- thus it represents another person's money and property. That's true of every house, btw -- the 4th house, for example, represents the money and property of your siblings if you have any, since it's the 2nd of the 3rd; the 6th house represents the money and property of your children, and so on. Yes, it gets complex!

If the 8th house is coming up, I'd tend to think there's money or property involved in the dispute between the brothers, possibly (since the 8th is the natural house of Scorpio) money or property they aren't talking about...
