For me, all this - especially the 8th house-placements - adds up to a strong "scorpionic" influence on my chart.

I'm in my thirties now - and never had any severe "death"-experience, despite all that 8th house energy. So: Don't worry! I guess, this is just a very oldfashioned/fairy-tale-like simplifciation of 8th-house-matters.

BUT: The matters of regeneration & starting all over again are indeed very very prominent in my life. Never stagnant, always evolving, never satisfied with the "status quo" - that can be draining and can border to "self-torture" in extreme situations - but more often I experience this as a certain amount of courage and personal depth. I really want to know what's at stake, always. Not satisfied with superficial matters, quickly bored then. Deep inside, I feel quite self-confident. I believe what my "inner voice" tells me. I feel "spiritual" in a way ... but I like to keep this in the background.

hello to all fellow 8th housers!

I have a 8th house stellium
Sun,Merc,North Node, Vertex, and barely making it out of there
jupiter and juno..so cusping off the 8th house

well alot of what was said is true
I do get more attracted to the more darker aspects of life.....but it doesn't mean anything bad ..actually I'm quite friendly and love making people laugh and I am sometimes intense or seem intense but it's not a bad thing.. so I wouldn't worry so much
but it does mean a person does have alot of work to do......to be transformed, rebirthed
like soul tranformation or spiritual tranformation

And I guess: There's a streak of "loneliness" bound to the 8th house. It makes you a "loner" a bit - but, honestly: I don't mind. I recognized my "loner"-like tendencies and learned to accept and even enjoy them. I draw strength from being alone, very often. Sometimes it's quite an egocentric "me, myself and I"-feeling. ;-)""

well this really struck a cord with me.......I am like this also...I'm comfortable with myself or being alone too....which in my eyes is great.....cause you don't have to depend on people .......but I also like being around a select few as well......people who I can identify with.....I also really dislike superfical people

Mama Mia, I was in drama and theatre. It was a very positive way to focus energy and emotion, and it sounds like a wonderful venture for your son. If you are concerned, you could post his full chart so we could perhaps place his 8th house energies within it... I can tell you that my Jupiter and Venus here have especially been blessings.
