In Vedic Astrology, the eighth house is called a randhra bhava which literally means a hole and flaw. In some sense, it is also related to the female reproductive part called yoni. Just like yoni, the 8th house is hidden power, a life-giving force, deep and related to the divine because God has permitted life to come into existence through this part of the body. This is also called an “ayu bhava” i.e. the house of longevity.
