Out of myself, but wanting to go beyond that wanting what I see in your eyes, not power, but to kiss the ground with the dawn breeze for company, wearing white pilgrim cloth.

Anyone else with Sun in 8th or a significant 8th feel this way...

Another issue w.H8 Sun is that getting to the root of your own psyche, and that of those you're close to, is such a driving force, and is so hard for others to see, that it shouldn't really be a surprise that the task is more of an inner journey. Also in traditional astrology H8 is a weak house and to have the Sun there provides little to no benefit to the native.

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!

One of the hardest things I struggle with having all of this 8th house energy, and over all scorpio energy, is feeling good. Something as simple as feeling the love someone has for me. It's very, very hard. The 8th has a penchant for the heavy and dark. It's very easy for us to "slip under" and simply not feel any light from anyone. To focus on just the dark. Sometimes for years at a time. The easiest way out of that is to help others because it allows us to "connect" but it can easily be just a rout of giving energy, not receiving.

I will let this song do the talking, because it speak so much truth. Love yourself, and you will feel all of the love that is around you. It IS there. The 8th house is sensitive, and it is sensitive to the light as well, you just have to be open to it.

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.

so is sun in h8 in some way more difficult than being a scorpio rising or scorpio sun?

I wouldn't say so. They're each "difficult" in their own way. Having gotten close to several scorpio ascendents, and scorpio suns, all three (using me as the sun-8th example, I am the only one I know) have their own share of "difficulties". Similar but different in their own right.

One thing I have noticed with scorpio energy is it has to be intergrated into everything else or it doesn't work (which interstingly, is not what scorpio thinks it wants). In the past when I have tried to "compartmentalize" my scorpio energy I disfunction. Same with a few friends I have. Once it becomes seamless and it stops being a fight, things work out well.

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.

its called the mysteries of the eighth astrological house by carmen turner-schott

its available on amazon for about $15

she is really good with interpreting 8th house planets and what it means for such individuals and she talks about everything from paranormal experiences, death, sex and everything else that has to do with scorpio, pluto and the 8th house...there are even things associated with the 8th that you would never have thought

------------------
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?

posted January 21, 2012 12:20 PM            

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, my mother emotionally punishes me...you might have seen one or two posts where i had ranted about her

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

carmen actually has a group on FB called Astrology (8th House) Eighth House Planets Support Group...its a closed group so you'll have to ask to join

if you cant find it, the URL is eighthhousepeopleunite
