Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes, 67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer. - scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault: slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion list plus a privacy guard. - tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other pages get a Related Knowledge block. - Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

The Eighth House is the chart's dark and fertile depth, the place where the self is undone and remade. It governs death — not as morbid fixation but as the great transformer, the ending that clears the ground for what comes next — and every smaller death the psyche undergoes: crisis, surrender, the shedding of a former life. It rules sex, the merging that dissolves the boundary between one person and another, and it holds the occult, the hidden knowledge glimpsed only by those willing to descend. This is the house of the taboo, the intense, the things not spoken of at dinner.

It governs, too, the practical matters of what is shared: joint finances, inheritances, debts, the entangled resources of two lives bound together. Where the Second House holds what is yours alone, the Eighth holds what you hold in common, and the vulnerability that comes with such entanglement. At bottom this is the house of transformation itself — the alchemical process by which loss becomes wisdom and shadow becomes power. Ruled in the modern reckoning by Pluto, it does not flinch from the depths; it insists that regeneration is only possible for those who first consent to be undone.

## On the Wheel
|
|
|
|
The Eighth House is succedent, a house of holding and consolidation, following the angular meeting of the Seventh. Where the Seventh initiates partnership, the Eighth deepens it into true merging — the joining of resources, bodies, and fates that partnership implies. Succedent houses give durability, and the Eighth gives durability to transformation itself, making the descent not a single event but an ongoing, regenerative process. It holds no angle of the chart, and its work is properly hidden, carried out beneath the surface where the profound changes of a life are quietly and permanently made.
