The eighth is the one unfortunate house in the succedent group.

I heard it, and the succedent mutterings, but did not recognize the words as mine.

Succedent houses are points of purpose and represent stabilization.

In the same way, the succedent houses, in the center of each quadrant, have a fixed character.

Succedent houses, as a whole, have a stable, unchanging, fixed quality, deriving from their central position in each quadrant of the chart.

Succedent house is an astrological term for the houses that follow (i.e., succeed) the angular houses in an Astrological chart.

The signs ruling Succedent houses are all Fixed: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.

There are four quadrants in an astrological chart, providing four angular houses, four succedent houses and four cadent houses.

Since the angular houses are the first, fourth, seventh and tenth houses, the succedent houses are the second, fifth, eight and eleventh houses.

A quadrant begins with an angular house, (the house in which a chart angle lies) proceeds to a succedent house and ends with a cadent house.

Each hypothetical derivation has a collection of antecedent derivations (the D) written on the top line, and a succedent judgement (J) written on the bottom line.

Each quadrant has an angular house, which includes one of the angles of the chart; a succedent house follows this, with a cadent house at the end of the quadrant.

Cadent houses are therefore usually considered by astrologers as less fertile and productive places by their nature than either angular or succedent houses, and the planets located in them are seen as generally less powerful and comfortable.

The figures that fall in cadent houses have little to no effect, those that fall in succedent houses have a transient effect, and those that fall in angular houses have the strongest and most lasting effect upon the query.
