The best argument against astrology, ever.

Hilariously, a significant percentage of traffic to this blog for the month of October has resulted from Google searches for "saturn eighth house," "saturn in the eighth house," "saturn in your eighth house," and "saturn eighth house astrology."

(Last month, I titled a post about a possibly "accreditable" bachelor's in astrology "Saturn's in Your Eighth House, Buddy".)

So this message is for those who came to Primrose Road seeking answers about their astrological charts: The horoscope's eighth house deals with matters of sex. Back in the day (from about 1996-2002) when I was actually so into astrology that I studied it, an astrologer once joked that "delineating" the eighth house is like that fortune cookie game where everybody adds "in bed" to the end of their fortunes. The planet Saturn, meanwhile, signifies restrictions, boundaries, and limitations. Thus, if you have Saturn in the eighth house in your natal horoscope, astrology suggests that you're impotent or you are not, uh, well-endowed in eighth-house-related areas.

I hope that dissuades y'all from believing in astrology. :)
