Dominant Houses are the houses in which the most planets or the most significant planetary configurations are located in our birth chart.  Essentially, the more going on in a house, the more 'power' that house gains in significance.

Understanding our Dominant Houses provides valuable insights into our strengths, weaknesses, desires, and motivations. They can show us and where we are likely to make the most impact in this life, and possibly the most financial gain.

Known as the "House of Transformation," the 8th House in astrology governs issues of death, rebirth, and other people's resources. This includes wills, inheritances, and matters of life and death. It also represents our subconscious mind, deep fears, and transformative experiences.
