First, do you have Scorpio Asc as well? If so, check the condition and placement of Pluto. If you are like me, with a strong Pluto influence, you may experience the "death and rebirth" theme throughout your life. Not death literally, at least not necessarily, but you may find times in your life where you have to "reinvent" yourself in career, social circles, relationships. Gemini can be good at it. Just remember to hold on to the core parts that are you, as sometimes Gemini is so good at adapting to different roles that we can get lost in all the different sides of our personality(-ies).

Hello all, I need interpretations for my sun and moon in the eighth house. I am a Gemini sun and a cancer moon. I am trying to relate and understand the significance of these two placements here. So far I have only just begun and would like to be well informed about themes and associations with these 8th house placements. What should I know about this? What would my personality profile be like? Is this area "karmic" in the interpretative association?

Well,any placement of the 8th house will gravitate one to issues of self-discovery and self-knowledge; Who am I? why am I like this? How can I change? How can I heal? How can I create in my reality?

There is a need, with every 8th house person to live "deeper" and so,their life experiences need to be "heartfelt" and generous in their psychological depth and meaning.

Since 8th house is co-ruled by Mars, the 8th house is, unlike the 1st house of "beginnings", concerned with "endings".

When the Sun is there, the issue of "endings" in as far as identity, direction, vitality become pivotal; hence many 8th house people are obsessed with "death"/mortality.

With the Moon, the issue of "belonging" becomes pivotal; hence many 8th house Moon people want sexual intimacy a lot. They fear separation, abandonment and divorce

So,the Sun in 8th may go through "endings" by a loss of purpose or direction-at many points in their life.

They may go through the loss of a dream/ ideal and come very close to physical death.

They may have someone,whom is the light of their life(Sun),die or become separated from them through divorce(8th).

They may themselves, not achieve much recognition(Sun)until after they have died(8th).

Some experience the death of the force/ vitality that gave them direction and purpose(Sun)-at some point ion their life.

Whatever it is, it is the testing of the ego through loss and endings.

Now with the Moon, the same crises can be suspected to occur with someone who has the Moon in 8th. But here the emphasis is the loss/ending with regards to personal security/belonging.

Loss of home or drastically changed domestic circumstances

Loss of mother or maternal figure through death/separation.

Loss of sense of security through abrupt moves or removal from familiar environment

Loss of familiar background through accidental/purposeful eradication(home fires, belongings destroyed etc.)

Loss of marriage through divorce or with-holding of nurturing affection(sex).

Also check on Mercury. As Gemini, you tend to think and talk through issues more and Mercury is going to give you some insight to your style. Of course feelings aren't going to be an issue with Cancer moon either. Gemini worries and Cancer broods, so remember to let go of what you have no control over. The 8th house is about power and control. Mastery of it begins with learning what you can and can't control, and that starts with yourself.
