She is so emotionally smart, she is a very old soul (despite making some terrible decisions a few years back.)

She loves to probe the mind, to figure things out, to psychoanalyze.

She would probably take on counseling, but the cost is way out of our league..

As a Scorp Asc. I also like to probe to the depths of the human psyche.

I have a dear friend who is a Scorpio sun and almost a Scorpio everything. All of her plantes are in the 7th. She is great at probing the depths of relationships.

The way it manifests me is I have a very probing mind. I am horribly nosy and want to know everything about everybody on a pretty deep level. At times, it's just for the sake of knowing, at other times it's because there is likely very useful information contained with in.

My mind goes very deep and my thoughts go very fast and far. Often a bit too much. I can go deep within my own mind and figure out the source from where anything has come from. As a consequence I am extremely self aware.

The energy here is very intense, and at times hard to control and contain. I have the ability to fabricate and fool pretty much anyone. If I took the path, I could have been an excellent conman if it were not for my sensitive side and moral code. I use this ability constructively. The human mind is extremely logical to me and others behaviors and quirks just make sense. I "get it". I use this to help people sort out their problems and grow as an individual. Care must be taken not to control others. It's very very easy for me to do and I have to constantly tell myself to stop. As hippichick said, psychoanalyzing comes easy to this placement and I do get a great deal of joy out of it.

Having mercury and the sun in the 8th house can and often does lead to the individual having an almost psychic sense into the minds of others. This only becomes a bad thing if you allow this to lead to parinoia stemming from lack of internal proof, or if you use it in a negative way (i.e. to unfairly control others).

Just keep working on yourself. This is one of the biggest gifts of the 8th house. Having your sun and mercury there will allow you to see all of your own inner demons very easily! At first it might be alarming and cause a lot of stress. Nevertheless awareness is the first step to improvement. Turn this around, by turning yourself around. Find out what exactly the problem is and where the problem lies, find the solution, and GO for it!

As far as profession, I am an organic chemist in grad school working on getting a PhD. I use my placements in the 8th house to be able to learn things at depth to their core (which is often a shortfall of gemini placements). It can be used constructively because the 8th house can get to the core of anything. I could have easily gone into psychology but the problem is I get too personally invested in things. Over time I could see myself being unable to properly detatch from clients. Additonally, manipulating them in unjust ways if I felt they weren't "going fast enough".

All of this is amped up in me a lot more as well since I have pluto in the 1st house conjunct my scorpio moon.

Is there a positive way to use this energy? I don't know because it's neutral energy. You do the best you can trying to deal with all that intensity. I have Sun on the cusp of the 7/8th cusp and Mercury/Pluto in the 8th and I just take life as it comes. Yeah I feel things incredibly intensely and the world feels like a never ending murky water but you do what you can with this energy. Allowing it to be of service to you, and living life deeply. I don't necessarily use this energy positively because what we'd consider a positive way to use this energy is relative, however I use it the best way I can. If any thing I try to express it purely which I guess could be considered the healthiest way to express it. Being an intense person is a gift and I handle that potent energy wisely.
