What happens when Jupiter transits your 8th house?

This transit lasts approximately 1 year and occurs once every 12 years, making it a significant period that reshapes your relationship to transformation & shared resources in ways that are both gradual and profound. Because Jupiter moves slowly through this house, the changes accumulate over time -- what feels like a subtle shift at first often reveals itself as a fundamental transformation when viewed from the other side.
