i dont know why i didnt just post this to begin with, LOL

I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?

she says 8th house people are destined to be healers (of course if you'v read anything of the 8th house or of scorpio, it'll say that, so its a little generic) but the reason we are is because we go through so much pain in our lives...we forever feel alone, and people who have had pain in their lives are inevitably drawn to us

we could suffer from death of loved ones, to abuse of any kind or just loneliness

in my life, i'v nearly died when i was a baby, my grandfather died when i was about a year old, my father died when i was 11, my grandmother died at around the same time, and my best friends mother died a couple of years later

also, we are very prone to depression, and through that we can heal and help others

Yes! In my Life I have always felt alone, kind of hard to explain why I have always felt this way. I have loving friends and family in my life that love me dearly. I'm always so serious, a bit moody and intense.

Well I was born a breech birth and my mom tells me she blacked out and needed blood transfusion when giving birth to me. Doctors told my father to choose between the two of us( which one of us he wanted to live)he pleaded to please save us both... so yeah it was a bad situation but we both made it somehow

My childhood was no picnic, father was strict and was prone to violent fits of rage, ( like throwing plates and puching the stereo). He was not a happy man, Mom eventually divorced him....thankfully. Mom also not one to mess with, she's a strong woman, hot tempered as well. I experienced/saw alot of things that a child my age(9 at the time) shouldn't really being dealing with. It made me fearful of the world, made me realize the world is not a friendly place afterall. At the time I had Transit Pluto square my natal Moon (worst transit ever). I also dealt with alot of depression actually at the age of 9/10 I wanted to take my own life......cause life sucked so bad...but never went thru with it

This is very very true. The sheer breadth of emotion, and thought that I have experienced throughout my life is staggering. Stuff that is not even my own or part of who I am. I have since concluded that the reason I have experienced what I have is so I have the most complete picture of the human mind possible. That way I can help solve the mental and emotional problems of others with great ease. Largely because I have "been there" with many many things and know what it is like on the inside.

It's not always fun and a lot of the stuff I went through sucked, but it was supremely important and I wouldn't change it.

I've been through so much in such a short time here on Earth that sometimes I would just like to lay down and "die." But it only makes you stronger.

8th house souls do not have it easy, but we have the inner strength to handle such things...I believe if you embrace your "loneliness", you'll realize that you are never truly alone.

dont be frightened by the fact their suns are in the 8th...they will very naturally be attracted to the dark side

all that matters is what you teach them so they dont stray off the right path

you can expect a lot of strange things, and before you try to explain to them what this or that is NOT, do research before hand and then explain to them what it IS

when the time comes, you'll know what i mean by that

[b]Nevertheless, I REFUSE to let things drag me down or feel like things are unfair. Make the best of it! The wonderful thing about the 8th house is you can use it to transform anything. It's hard work, and can be quite painful, but rest assured it can be done!

My Sun shares the 8th house with Neptune and Venus. I certainly understand the feeling of being separate from others, but I am fortunate to have a lot of fire, so being separate feels more like, just being a unique individual. I have to admit, I always sort of believed that every person has that place where they feel by their self. Everyone has an 8th house, we just feel like we come from that place.

If you spend enough time in that place, you begin to understand that you have such deep insight into people, because that lonely place which we believe is our own, is really a big shared room that we are too busy looking out of our eyes and talking out of our mouths to notice. Sun in 8th house people can step away from the outside world and listen to what is happening on the inside of everything. I am very happy my Neptune is here, because I am capable of seeing people's inner thoughts and feelings with clarity when I have been invited to do so.

Take heart friend, you are standing at the precipice of the universal truth behind the images which flash in front of your eyes. The more you understand it, the less you feel afflicted and the more you feel like someone who knows the punchline to a joke that many other people are trying to figure out. The more you understand it, the more other people seem afflicted and you seem fortunate enough to be able to help them. =D

Xiiro i really get where you are coming from. You are right, we are all here individually but connected to a greater universal truth with our own journeys, with our own karma to guide us.

In vedic Astrology, Sun in this House is a very strong position as the Sun person gives off a regenerating energy/aura to all things it is around. I have been told my Sun positon in one of healing, I am meant to heal. You already understand this out of your soul and intuition though.

I don't think so Sand. Speaking as a Sun/Mercury/Pluto in the 8th House individual. All Pluto and Scorpio placements are strong and I'd say depending on your perspective are difficult however I think they just have varied expression. For example a Scorpio Rising will express their Plutonian energy a bit different then someone like myself with Pluto/Scorpio in the 8th House. It's like based on placements we're on similar paths just different journeys.

I've always seen having a powerful 8th house as a blessing. It's never been an easy life, hell is an all too familiar place. Trust me I have a room in Hades that I visit every once in a while not by choice of course. But I've also got a room in a place near heaven that I visit less frequently but it's there as a reminder. Having 8th house planets isn't that bad, I've learned life is what you make it and you get what you give. I stopped feeling pity for myself a long time ago. Yes horrifying things happen to me at an alarmingly frequent rate, but gosh I know a lot about a great deal because of those experiences. I'll always views the 8th house as a gift, possibly the ultimate gift in relation to transformation and existing. Let's turn our frown's upside down 8th Housers!

Hello
Is it true that those with Scorpio Pluto in the 8th House are obsessed with sex, or does it depend on their 5th House, their Mars Sign, House Placement and Aspects?

Aww, thank goodness you made it! Out of curiosity, do you recall your mothers’ 5th House sign, inhabitant planets (if any), and her 5th House Lord’s House Placement?

The 8th has been termed political, economic, financial, sexual, psychic, and a wide variety of things, but 'torture' is just being melodramatic. It certainly can be trouble if you live life co-dependently since it is about investment in what is shared with others. While the 7th house relates to the start of relationships and how the 'look' outwardly, the 8th is more what's under the hood. So planets there are the energies you have to deal with in creating the outcomes of intimacy and merging with intimates.
