I've read a lot of things about the eighth houses influence on us humans. I've came across a quote about the moon in the eighth house- 'watch over children with this placement carefully.' People with planets like the moon in the eighth can apparently have traumatic experiences such as rape and other kinds of sexual abuse. Also a quote about boys with eight house moons, 'he may inherit something from woman', can anyone interpret this?

A lot of the information I've mentioned is very serious. I will ask you, if you feel comfortable enough, to discuss some of these things with me. I'll trust that people here will be tactful and sensitive towards others too.

I myself have a stellium in the eighth house including the Moon (20 Capricorn), Uranus (0 Aquarius) and Neptune (25 Capricorn.) I was sexually abused when I was younger a few times by my female baby sitter (mid-late teens I believe)and as far as I know my parents are unaware.

As a child, I was strange...I was quite naughty but also quite 'cute'. I always preferred adult company from very young and even could talk about very adult subjects. People always found me to be extremely intelligent for my age, so much so they were shocked. Although aggressive and intense minded sometimes, I'm apparently 'wise beyond my years'. I'm fairly introverted, I do have friends and people enjoy my company. I'm not like a lot of teenagers, I'm not into getting drunk and I've never done drugs. I feel quite disconnected from other people and I like it that way.

Moon rules the mother or women so he may inherit money from grandmother, mother, wife....etc...

I could have written this quoted word for word. I was a very bizzare child and stood out like a sore thumb. My mercury being in gemini would try so hard to outwardly express myself but it was far too strange for most of my peers to understand. As a consequence, I was teased and pushed aside for years. Until 7th grade when it got so bad I changed school districts. I got along with adults very well as a child, and was very well respected. I got the wise beyond my years comment ALL the time. My family respected that, but I was also troublesome. I would cause problems without trying. Usually in the fashion of breaking something.

I never had any sexual conflicts as a child, which I am greatful for. The major two factors growing up for me was school problems (social and academic), and father problems. My father was psycholgically abusive to me, although he was not aware of what he was doing really.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.

My 8th stellium is highly signifigant since I also have pluto in the first house, and it's conjunct my moon in scorpio. Meaning, anything related to scorpio, or my 8th is going to be a major player in me.

I completely understand where you're coming from! I always was told by my mum that I needed to try and use language more suitable for people my age to understand. She said that sometimes I come across as a bit pretentious, and although there's nothing wrong with being intelligent, I just need to tone it down because I can upset other children...as weird as that sounds!

I also seem to have something about me, and a lot of adults I've only just met say they think I'm very mature for my age...even know they don't know me at all! I guess it's true though.

I was always treated as if I was older than I was which I kind of resented.

I was told similar things when I was little, that I was hard to relate to because I was not communicating in a "normal" regard. I was not about to stop being me though (I fiercely guarded my identity as a child and no one could change it, only I could). I learned the hard way and through high school I learned to balance things. Then through college I refined things down. I'm at a point now that I can pretty much fit into any situation I want and not appear so odd that I can't be related to.

I'm 22 now so that has obviously left me at this point. It honestly depends on who meets me on how they see me. Some people will see me as highly mature, or very immature. That's largely because of my gemini energy though, I can appear differently depending on the circumstances.

I never resented being treated as older. I just wanted to be treated like I was on the same level as everyone else. Fairness is/was very very important to me.

North Node in 8th House

There is a need to transform totally your personality - possibly through unexpected events and sudden changes. Aggressive, secretive, anti-social or adventurous sex traits are to be slowly outgrown, and eventually, a new birth of purpose leads you to a more constructive view of the world and society. Powers of self-control and discipline are used to change life circumstances. Success is achieved through a fully transformed, individual and self-motivated personality.

The kinda kid a pedophile would kidnap. Her attitude reminds me of a teenager but she's only 5. I never made her chart but i had her info, so when i read this i wondered about her chart and yu know what she has her moon in the 8th house o.o. That creeped me out.

Mmm, indeed. I never really believed that I'm an attractive person however I'm frequently told I am! In fact when I was in year 4 (8/9 years old) I had this teacher...and she was so odd towards me! It made me uncomfortable and she didn't appear to treat anyone else that way...I know it sounds absurd...maybe it's my imagination but deep down I don't think it was really. Maybe she was overly-friendly but if she was...it was only it me! Once I was upset in a lesson and she asked if I was okay and I wasn't, she went to the staff room and made me a cup of tea! (she knew I liked tea, lol) But yeah, she gave me a cup of tea to drink whilst I did my work and the whole class were aware...she never did anything like that for anyone else as far as I knew! :/ I still disturbs me a bit as weird as it sounds.

I'm so sorry, I know how strange it sounds...but the vibe felt horrible. You are right, maybe it wasn't intentional...but still there was something quite odd.

I got to me too to be made fun of. I was often very upset in elementry and middle school. Nevertheless I found that the only way it was going to stop is if I did something about it. In high school I found friends who liked me for who I was and slowly built a base. On the very rare occasion when someone would poke at me, I would have friends run to my defenses, and I would stick to my convictions. The only time people have power over you, is if you give it to them and let them have it.

It's all about standing your ground and using the power you have. The 8th house IS powerful, you just have to learn how to use that power, and not let it consume you (in more ways then one). It takes a lot of effort to figure out how but, rest assured it can be done.

I was the victim of molestation, at the age of five, from my second cousin, who was about twelve at the time. We were sleeping in the same bed at our great-grandmother's house. He died about five years ago, but my feelings over it didn't die with him. I am now at the point where I feel like I'm overcoming the trauma, however, and feeling the inner peace to be able to discuss it.

As children, I think 8th house people become aware of sex at a very premature age. After that incident, I was very conscious of sex and that I was a sexual being, but it's hard to know what to do with that awareness before you hit puberty.

I've read Mars in the 8th has to do with sexual trauma of some sort. I also do seem to have a knack for dealing with other people's resources and money. It's almost like I naturally attract it (Venus).

Also, there are usually dark familial patterns with 8th house folks (in particular if the Moon is in this house). I've learned that sexual trauma runs in my mom's side of the family. There are lots of secrets and skeletons and, as the 8th house child, I seem to be the vessel for them. And I can either become lost in that darkness or find a way to acknowledge and channel it.

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?

I wasn't sexually assaulted but I was bullied mercilessly as a child and teen. And I have been in situations when I can get really strong vibes of someone who is sexually predatory they will come up and dance with me or try to talk to me in a club and all these warning signs pop up in my head! My best friend who has a Scorpio moon and venus has the same problem!! We always get really psycho obsessive guys hitting on us! I've been stalked and followed by one of my ex boyfriends also from a guy who had mars in Scorpio who I hooked up with once he blew up my phone the second I didn't answer and had this really creepy vibe about him. But so far THANK GOD I haven't had any sexual violence against me. And when I was a kid my dad kept me far far away from boys even as a young kid! My dad has a packed 8th house and Scorpio moon so maybe he sensed something about the environment that I didn't understand as a kid and so he would watch me very very carefully.
