It is often written that the 8th house is the house of crises. Do you, as eighth house Suns feel your life is laden with crises?

I myself have Sun in eighth house (Sagittarius Sun) and don’t feel that I have gone through any form of monumental crisis. Or perhaps it is still coming?

Both my parents are alive and I haven't gone through any sort of financial ruin.

I had a minor car accident when I was young. But nothing too hectic.

Let me rephrase the question and ask something that I think the 8th house is all about.

What is the biggest fear you have?And can you connect this with the position your Sun is in?

I just wanted to hear from other eighth house Sun people on what their feelings are

OH MY GOD, YES.

I'M speaking from the POV of one who's been involved with an 8H Sun. I swear, it's like HE thinks his life is ALWAYS in crisis. From one bloody crisis to another.

I think that it adds a certain amount of trauma for me, but I have a conjunction with asteroids and my Sun in 8th, and Jupiter in 8th as well. So when Saturn touches my Sun in conjunction or opposition, it can get really difficult. There have been times when I've experienced very traumatic events when Saturn was conjunct my Sun, and a lot of hardships with the opposition and square.

My husband has Sun in 8th as well, but he doesn't seem to experience this. I tend to think it has a lot to do with the asteroids that are conjunct my Sun, in addition to other placements in my chart.

Because I have Saturn trine Sun, I have to wonder if it has something to do with that, in addition to my Sun placement.

When Saturn is making an aspect to my Sun, it's possibly making an aspect to my natal Saturn as well. As Jupiter also resides in my 8th, Whatever is making an aspect to my Sun will also make an aspect to my Jupiter soon after.

So...I'm not sure that having Sun in 8th necessarily guarantees a life full of crisis and trauma, but mine has definitely fit that description.

Also, my 8th house/sign/planets are intercepted, which I think tends to make the transits more difficult until we can figure out how to channel them more positively.

When Saturn squared his Sun exact a few months ago, a very dear friend of his passed away very unexpectedly, with hardly any warning.

Where is the cusp of your 8th house?

I think what I am trying to do is stay grounded in what the crux of the Sun in eighth house person is.

In my asking what your fear is and associating it with the position your 8th house cusp is in, I would find a connection with the 8th house and the individual's fear.

For instance, I have eighth house in Sagittarius and my fears are closed spaces/restrictive practices or limited freedom.

Most sites make the Sun in 8th house position sound like a mythical wizard or some grand master etc.

You read of Sun in 4th and you automatically associate that person with a love of home, roots, family and tradition etc.

You read of the Sun in 3rd house person and you associate the individual with communication, short distances, siblings etc.

But when you read of the Sun in 8th, it sounds so far-fetched, so vague, so unrelatable.

Is your Sun in the 8th house?

I know you spoke of your partner but perhaps , if it is, the crises that you experienced may have been through your partner? After all, the Sun in 8th does overlap with the 7th house -with regards to partnerships.

I'm not an astrologer, but that's my vague hypothesis.

I actually followed everything that you said.

I have quite a number of asteroids conjunct my Sun.

Natally , I have Sun-Jupiter-Neptune in conjunction(Sun/Neptune orb is by far the most potent as it is less than 1 degree orb)

I also share a conjunction with Persephone/Kaali/Vertex each varying in orbs but colletively less than 2 Degrees.

What I do notice,however, is that people tend to tell me their secrets. Especially secrets of a sexual kind i.e sexual abuse, sexual desires, sexual longings etc.

My natal Sun will probably start interacting with Saturn in the next two years. All those conjunctions with transiting Saturn as well as transiting Neptune in Pisces square should be an interesting combustion for my Sagittarian planets.

As far as loss is concerned, I think the 8th house theme could be with regards to surrendering things that are out of your control.

As an 8th house person, I find it diffciult to "surrender" and just be "out of control". And having Saturn in Scorpio(7th house) also adds to this.

The sudden death of someone close to me could make me very vulnerable and leave me feeling angry and confused-perhaps searching for explanations as to why it had to occur?

Could the meaning of the event, in the instance of your husband's friend passing away,be a re-inforcemnet to "accept" and let go of things that are beyond our control?

Oh, yeah. Life's been chaotic and traumatic in many ways for me. But, specifically, if we're looking at 8H Sun, as a trauma / crisis marker - then I'd say it fits.

But we're both law-enforcement trained, so we both rush headlong into the fray. Heh.

Forgive me, but I think that may have more to do with your Sun-Pluto conjunction in Libra as well as maybe your Moon/Mercury/Uranus in Scorpio?

The Libra in 2nd suggests a connection to one’s income/job or having a steady income and making a living. But having Pluto therein “colours” things a little.

The Pluto addition suggests “how” the money will be made. With Pluto therein, it suggests that the way the money is made is through danger, risk or an entrepreneurial spirit. You may even “die” whilst making a living.

Pluto in 2nd must be bold and take risks in making money. Having to abide with a “method” simply will not do. Risk is almost always part of the parcel in order to make money.

Moon /mercury/Uranus in Scorpio speaks of what satisfy’s the spirit. What one is most comfortable doing.

My Pluto and Mars, however, are both in the 6th house; dealing mostly with health, recuperation and methodology in healing.

This is an area where boldness, entrepreneurial spirit is required and for me to be more risk-taking in implementing methods (either on myself or on others) when it comes to these above mentioned themes.

So, for me, doctor’s prescriptions and advices may not be enough. I may need to implement my own tailor-made methods to heal myself or overcome illness. That’s why I take exercise and keeping healthy so seriously.

It could also be an area of life where I may “die”; most likely through a health related illness (ironically enough).

I think one facet of the Sun in 8th house may have to do with the “illumination” of one’s sexuality? How sexuality becomes the focal point of one’s life (Sun) and a definitive factor in one’s identity?

Hi AscTaurus. I'm basically your mirror. Scorpio Asc, Gemini Sun in 8th.

Crisis? No more than the normal trials of life. Loss of jobs, ending of relationships, death of family members. No more than the price of living the human experience, and far less than some. But you get to see the world through a different angle. There's more that most people see to reality. You get to see... deeper... I think. Personally, I get frustrated with people who only see the surface or the short term implications.
