Speaking Of Death… How About Gambling On Insurance? The 8th House, Bay-beee
Astrology in Real Life…
This is the soldier’s 8th house talking to mine:
“Yeah, well she must have thought I was going to die,” he said talking about his wife when he was in Special Forces. “Everyone else was dying. I think she was banking on it. Get the insurance money, you know? But I just kept coming back, still alive.”
I didn’t answer.
“Yeah. Surely he’s going to die. Everyone else is dying. And they were dying too. They were dying left and right, dropping all around her. So just imagine,” he said.
“Imagine what?”
“Well imagine all these people dying like crazy. Every time you look up someone else is gone.”
“Ugh.”
“Yeah, it was bad. So this was going on and then 12 of us went out and 10 were killed. Only 2 of us came back and I was one of them.” He stopped to chuckle. “I wonder what she thought of that. She must have smacked herself in the forehead. How can this be? How come he never gets killed? Why won’t he… why doesn’t he get killed with the rest of them?” he said, snorting.
“You think that’s funny?”
“Well, yeah. I think it’s sort of funny. Don’t you think it’s funny?”
“You wife wants you to die? No it’s not funny. Well, if someone wants you dead and you’re stubborn and just keep living, I suppose that is funny. But still, to hell with her rooting for you to die. You’re not supposed to be waiting for someone to die so you can be flush. What kind of person does that? A lazy person, I suppose. And a boring person. Because she’s got her life contingent upon yours which is sort of like having no life at all. Meanwhile you’re out there living in full color.”
“Yep.”

Funny thing is, I had someone gamble on my death as well. They literally took out a life insurance policy on me explaining they thought it had good odds to pay off. I was about 20 at the time and there nothing I could do. Fact is you can buy an insurance policy on anyone you want.

You may have covered this already, but what kind of 8th house action suggests that someone might be a little hard to bump off?
I think he’s right to laugh at it! What’s the alternative? Getting indignant?
Your soldier’s being looked after, isn’t he? You should take out a bet that he WON’T be dead in 10 years, and you’ll be rolling in it.
seekingzen - Well in my case, the Jupiter trines to my 8th house offer a lot of support. In the case of the soldier, he’s got that Scorpio moon Neptune in the 8th… highly sensitized.
So you’re in the jungle trying to kill him and he’s in the jungle trying to kill you and apparently his senses trump yours - you die and he lives.
DR - I agree but still. Bastard married this gal instead of me, wtf was he thinking? I am the one who is indignant!
PS - Plus I have the Mother Gene.
Fair dos. Take out a policy on the ex and then make sure you get your payday.
DR - Har Har Har! I got a hearty laugh out of that one. :snort:
Seriously? You can take out a policy on anyone you want???
Dharmaruci, what a brilliant idea then! My kid’s dad decided to dump her (as well as his son from another woman) years ago, and although I have been able to support my daughter fairly decently, it really miffs me that not only did he deny her the love and emotional support of a father, but that some of the opportunities she’s been offered and might otherwise have accepted have had to be turned down for the simple reason that I couldn’t afford to let her do it.
And, when she was just a toddler (before he decided children were too much bother and ran off), I specifically asked him to carry life insurance with her as beneficiary (as do I and have since her birth–I was orphaned, and so know first hand that parents don’t live forever just because their kids think they will!) He agreed, and then never would get to it and so has not.
I wonder if the expense of carrying a policy on him would justify itself in the end? Hm….
