The 8th house is an unusual house, in line with the 12th.It is a scary house. It rules taboos. It rules emotions we are afraid to face. It rules passionate sexuality. It rules soul mate relationships. People with many 8th house planets are said to be repressed. These natives may mature late. Once they do, they will have an unusual depth, as they were forced to bring themselves up from a nether land. She may look like a cheerleader, but when she opens her mouth, you will be surprised what is under that pretty exterior. The 8th house rules all things which are hidden, all things which are taboo. It is no surprise that it rules death.

I have Sun and Mercury in the eighth house natally in Leo.

It definitely muddles the Leo energy and makes me more standoffish/skeptical than a typical Leo.

Also I work in a industry that deals with death - so living my eighth house potential lol.

What industry do you work in? I'm asking because I also have Mercury in the 8th house. And I'm so always thinking about careers that involve death some how. But Mortuary Science doesn't seem to be in demand. I also have Venus, Jupiter and North Node in the 8th house. My Mercury, Jupiter and North Node are in Aries. But my Venus is in Pisces.

That's weird.... I have progressed ur/sat/nep in the 8th house. A year ago I was considering getting a job as a forensic cleaner/crime scene cleaner.

Added: and interestingly, a friend with progressed moon in 8th went to get pig slaughtering training. You'd think that's normal for a farmer maybe, but before that, he worked in fashion lol

Venus, Jupiter and n.node in Aries. You may think I will fall in love easily and out very easily... well nope because they are in my 8th house. Falls in love easily. Gets obsessed, will almost never let go! (plus venus square neptune, fog effect, as I need more of that stuff). I understand it rules "death". But as I see death about "transformation" and going from one world to an other, I mostly see the 8th house as a door to an other dimension so to speak.

I work in anatomical donation for transplant = donors which are dead people.

I would not recommend working in the mortuary service - they don't pay well and are just a money hounds. I have many coworkers that were ex-morticians that prefer this line of work because its non-profit and has integrity.

What kind of schooling do you need to work in anatomical donation? I don't really see a lot of jobs available in my area in regards to mortuary science. Currently I'm in school for Massage Therapy. Being a Taurus I like if glad I decided to go through with it. But I am really drawn to things that have to do with death, crime etc. Can't seem to escape the 8th house influence.

I have Sun/Moon/Mercury/Venus in Aries and 8th house. 8th house to me is about deeper interactions when it comes to relationships. If 7th house is about partnerships, 8th house is about deepening relationships. Vulnerability, real intimacy, what it means to know each other deeper, and how unconscious stuffs comes at play in relationships. What do we do when we have such power over someone else? Or that we allow the other person to have such power over us?

Inheritance to me also has other meaning. Not the typical resources but rather that we inherit from other people, our loved ones, as thry shaped us how we are too.

I guess that there is some truth in being repressed at least for me, thought I’m not sure if it comes from other aspects in the chart like Saturn conjunct IC and square AC.

I guess that I’m lucky to not have hard aspects on my stellium. Neptune square Sun but the rest trines Uranus. Even so the transit Pluto square my stellium and it’s been hard.

I'm afraid to say.... The 8th house is not about taboo whatsoever. It might seem like it at first, but that's only due to the themes of intimacy and death. Yes, those themes are prominent in the 8th house, but that's because it's the house of shared properties and other things we don't have control over.

The 8th house also rules taxes and joint accounts.

See, we can't control death, nor can we control a partner we become intimate. As a matter of fact, we have to surrender our own control in these situations. Those who have well aspected planets or strong influences in the 8th are going to see a lot more themes concerning power and control rather than taboo.

When we interpret the 8th as only taboo themes, we lose out on the actual theme behind the house. We could easily mislead ourselves, thinking it's about indulging in the "darker" themes of life - but those themes aren't dark at all. They're just themes. It's control that is the real focus of the house. Think about the sign most associated with the 8th - Scorpio. Scorpio's main theme? Control. It's easier to remember house meanings when you think of the signs associated with them.

I've always been rather drawn to darker
topic of the the realms others might
be weirded out over.

Other than Vertex, DNA
(which that is Leo in 8th). and other
asteroids, my 8th is pretty lonesome.
The Moon via
Cancer rules mine. I find much emotion
stem from my 8th. I suppose my eighth is
Sun + Moon. Night and day. or bipolar.
Mmmmm maybe that's why I find my 8th illuminated even w/o planet there.

I have my 8th house cusp in Capricorn, with Jupiter, Moon, Neptune and Uranus in there. Uranus is on the border of the 8th and 9th. In Vedic astrology, some readers see the 8th house ruling longevity. 8th house also can oversee theft, thieves and derelicts. It is a house of profound transformation, the occult in extremities (light & dark), healing and arch enemies. If you have a packed 8th house you most likely have control issues, trust issues, only want the truth and you see right through people. Not to mention the bold opinions you often don’t share with others because you know you can make others run off in tears. If they don’t run off in tears things can get physical (since 8th house also rules arch enemies and Scorpio is also ruled by Mars). Since Scorpio energy makes for great leadership qualities and sage wisdom (through experience, usually), these persons can make just rulers. They make for fair rulers (if they’re in the Eagle mindset and not the Scorpion soul-trip) because of their intuitive abilities, perception, capability to sense how others feel on a soul level, vision, prophecy and ruling over others’ assets (8th house). 8th housers are usual introduced to sex, death (on a material and spiritual level), sexual orientation, the values of money, abuse, abandonment, spirits, occult subjects and power (plays and struggles) at a very young age.

8th House for me...

Pluto in Libra conj. Valentine and Lust
Vesta in Libra
Uranus in Libra (in my Grand Trine)
Moon in Scorpio conj. Isis, Angel, and Nymphe

I'm incredibly good at investigating stuff, digging deep into the nooks and crannies and finding the truth. Sexual? Maybe. :P I'm actually serious about who I give myself to, I've never been a date and screw anything and everything. But that could be my Capricorn Venus in the 12th influence. Oh, and on the "soul mate" thing I found my Twin Flame and the experience has unlocked at least two chakras I can feel - heart and crown.

There you go!
