maybe this sounds a little bit odd. or like a pointless post (i hope not!) but i will admit, for most of my life i've not really ever thought about the intensity involved in aspects of my life that involve mars. my mars is in the 8th house (taurus). does anyone have any good information about it, or experiences?i feel like there's a part of me that i haven't figured out yet. i feel like there's this huge half of my brain and inner workings that have been hidden, for whatever reason. maybe it was out of fear that i didn't realize. a lot of the pain in my life has been caused by 8th house issues. just recently i've had a realization about my "dark side" in which i've suddenly become interested in it, and i'm wondering why i ever hid it in the first place. there's some stuff online, but i feel like i've read everything i could. a lot of it says the same stuff. i've read a lot of interpretations saying that i won't find true passion until later on in my life. i used to think that i wasn't passionate, and now i realize that it's definitely not the case. i just feared them, became confused by those feelings, i think. the 8th house is quite a mystery.. very interesting.

I'm don't know a whole lot about interpretations. But I have mars in the 8th in capricorn conjunct Mercury. As far as I know about mars, it's about drive. I've always felt that beyond all my emotions and when I'm in the worst place/state I can be(I've had lot of practise) I have something more stil to rely on, something very, very stubborn and determined underneath. I don't know if it's cause of this but it's always felt that way to me. My drive/will when it kicks in(most of the time it tends to slumber)just feels this really relentless kind of strength. Also I have very scorpio like attitudes to sex.
Sorry if this makes no sense I'm very, very sleepy at the moment!IP: Logged |

oh yeah it definitely makes sense!have you ever had any struggles in your life to do with mars issues? the year i had an 8th house sun solar return was the year that a lot of those issues came about. i feel like i'm soon to be reliving many of them (3 mos before solar return 8th house sun), except this time at least i'm knowledgeable about it. i ended up dating a guy at 17 who scarred me sexually and used power against me.. wish i wasn't so naive. that's why i'm curious about anyone's stories or experience. and my drive and will? once it starts it's neverending, it seems like. if there's something that i care about the passion will never relent.

Psychologically, the eighth represents what we are taught (as children) that we cannot or should not have.Mars is desires, so you were taught that it is not OK to say, "I want."....or maybe that you wanted all the wrong things. Mars is also the "male image." With this placement, if you are male it makes that somehow "not-good", or "not OK." You will have to find your own self-worth as a male. If you are female, someone taught you to hate, or at least harshly-judge men. Until you work through it, this will color your relationships. If you think "men are bad"--or any version of that--that is the kind of men you will attract. The eighth is the "house of transformation." For healthy adult living, the negtives of childhood must be re-evaluated. The things denied the child-you-were can and must now be re-claimed. Sex, and other 8th house issues may not be good for children, but they can provide a lot of joy to the adult who reclaims them.

Can I be a buttinski for a second~~Rev. Alice what would you say about an 8th house Moon in Capricorn? Would that be like hiding your emotions? Also would that mean as a child you were taught not to express yourself or how you feel. I know a guy with an 8th house moon square to pluto and it seems that he doesn't know how to accept tender love. It seems that all he can do is express himself in negative ways to show how he feels. He also has lots of issues with women in general. His Moon opposes Mars too.
How would you deal with a person like that? IP: Logged |

My ex Cancer BF has Mars, Venus and Sun conj in the 8th--(and a Scorp asc to boot)For him what I have seen is a pitiful power trip, in the name of "passion" he manipulates, controls and when he feels he is loosing control, he lashes out in an even more pitiful attempt to re-gain his percieved control, with anger and agression. He calls himself passionate---yea right!! IP: Logged |

interesting.. i can definitely say that as a child the phrase "i want" was always condemned.. it was a good lesson that my parents taught, though. sometimes i do believe that it was a bit overexaggerated.and as far as someone teaching me to dislike men, i've often wondered about this. i also have a venus mars square and it seems to be ingrained in me. i don't dislike men but it's often very hard for me to befriend them, for many reasons. i don't necessarily think that men are bad, but there's this unexplained bitterness towards them. i don't feel like i was taught that. i even considered past life trauma, my parents often wondered the same thing. interesting, thanks for everyone's input!
