Here's a little something on the 8th house Mars (Btw, taken from http://www.manic-raven.com/astrology/)
Your Mars in the Eighth House
You have high energy, which is especially noticeable in your way of dealing with others. You do not hesitate to put everything you have into relationships because they simultaneously offer you an opportunity to tank up on energy. The spiritual exchange of energies is your fountain of life.
This behavior also brings dangers with it. If you live out your negative side, you could catch yourself unscrupulously manipulating people in your surroundings and indoctrinating them to serve your ambitions. It is only a question of time until your usefulness has run out and you find yourself isolated. Also, you could divert your arrogance into risky financial ventures only to be left in the end with nothing to live on. If Mars has challenging aspects, your domineering nature could result in difficulties in relationships and social ties.
Sex is an important topic for you. You are a temperamental lover, but you should guard yourself against bringing your aggression into the bedroom by using sex as a means of power or you will find yourself trapped by your own lack of restraint.
The following interpretation was found at http://www.geocities.com/rbltre/astro/mainindex.html :
Mars in the 8th House: You're earthy, persistent, lusty, sensual and emotionally intense. Your sex life is important to you. You're interested in psychic matters and life after death, but if afflicted by Neptune, you should avoid psychic involvement. You flirt with, and are comfortable with the idea of, death. Your death will probably be sudden and if afflicted, violent. This placement is good for politicians, surgeons, investigators, psychiatrists, etc. You often deal with others' assets, sometimes in a public capacity. You often experience strife over your partners money or problems with inheritances. Your actions are often secret and, if heavily afflicted, may involve criminal activity.
