And no, I never have attracted them either.

ETA: Romantically I mean. 8H Pisces ~ never dated one.

My 8th House sign is Capricorn. I've never attracted nor dated or befriended any Capricorn.

I seem to be insanely attracted to my Moon/Mars sign (makes sense), Gemini. I also attract them a lot! It never lasts though, they always get rid of me! I thought those guys were extremely shallow and flaky anyway.

Taurus on the 8th and I avoid them. Then I had a relationship with one fairly recently {I thought his Aquarius Moon would help} and we just depressed one another. He was so pessimistic and set in his ways... I do tend to go for men with Sun in the 2nd House that balances it for me. I have too much Uranus for Taurus energy!

Not really.
I have an 8th house ruled by Gemini.
I've dated like 2, but I attract earth signs more.

Perhaps because I'm more or less earth void (except my Taurus Venus). My Taurus is definitely an earth person pulling factor - also maybe my 7th house ruled by Taurus lol x

I'm partial to a Virgo *sigh*

Warning: Long post ahead. It's a bit of a tangent, as it doesn't really focus on the 8H but rather on the topic of attraction itself.


I want to mention that houses carry as much significance as signs, and should not be ignored. (The concept was initially presented to me by astrologer Dawn Bodrogi.)

Example: your DSC is in Aries, but you don't attract Aries.

Look at where Mars is - sign AND house. You may very well attract that type of energy.

You may also attract people with 1H planets (Aries' house).


Worth noting: look at what houses planets in the relationship houses rule, they can offer more insight.

Example: You have Neptune in the 5H in Scorpio. You don't seem to attract Scorpio nor Leo energy (sign/house)... Neptune rules your MC and what you attract is Capricorn/10H energy instead (although it's usually a mix of all those).

Same goes for "traditional" relationship planets (for heterosexual people at least):

- woman's Sun and Mars - the sign and house they're in, and the houses they rule;

- man's Moon and Venus - the sign and house they're in, and the houses they rule.

Don't forget that the other person's houses are just as important.
If you have a Sagittarius DSC but don't seem to attract Sag energy, you may very well attract 9H people instead (Sag's house) (or people with a prominent Jupiter). So it's not all about the sign. (:

(And of course don't forget the DSC ruler.)

(I think that) if a relationship planet that's supposed to be a female significator in a woman's chart falls in a relationship house or rules a relationship house, it can be used in addition to the Sun and Mars; and same for men with masculine significators.

Example: You're a woman and have Venus in Sagittarius in the 7H. You can use Venus as a significator for your partner in addition to other things (Sun, Mars, Jupiter-Dsc ruler, other 7H or 5H planets, etc).

You may very well attract energies represented by your Venus placement even if you're a woman, as it's in the 7H (or if it rules your DSC, or if it's in the 5H/ruled the 5H, etc).

You may attract the sign/house that Venus is IN (Sagittarius/Libra), but also the sign/house it rules.

Say, that same Venus rules the 12H and the 6H - then instead of being attracted to super-Sag/9H or super-Libra/7H energy, you'll attract Piscean/12H or Virgoan/6H energy.
Though as I previously mentioned, it's usually a mix of all that.
And of course the ruler of the DSC should always be taken into account - in this case, Jupiter (sign, house, aspects...).

(Yes it can get a bit complicated, but I do hope you get what I'm trying to explain.)


I can't say if it works for the 8H (personal experience complicates matters here, since my 7H and 8H are in the same sign), but I am fairly sure it works for the 7H and often for the 5H as well.

(There are generally repetitions/"themes" in charts anyway, so overlaps between the different factors are common.)


Oh dear, I think I've given myself a headache here. *vanishes*

8th house Leo. My sun is at home here and so is Virgo mercury/mars, so I have a tendency to make friends with male Leos and to a lesser extent Virgo men. No lovers yet, though I wouldn't mind either.

YES. It's insane.
My SN and vertex are both in there so I suppose that helps. I've never had a close relationship with anyone who is strong with my NN sign.

You'll need to provide more information if you want a thorough and accurate psycho-analyzation.

Ironically, the answer lies within your question. Cancer Suns (and other people with prominent Cancer placements, like Mercury, Moon, and Mars) can easily access areas of your life that fall under the domain of the 8th house (personal psyche, your views on/feelings towards death, sexuality, secrets, etc.). They probably "annoy" you because you are less inclined towards allowing yourself to be vulnerable (result of Cancer on 8th house cusp), and your protective instincts kick in, which include being hostile towards the perceived threat.

Basically, Cancer, the Crab, has your 8th house on lock, and is not too welcoming of intruders, because they threaten your psychological security.

I have my Mars,7th and 8th houses in Aries and most such men tend to be quite drawn to me. And I like a fiery type behaviour, but not so much an aries man.

Taurus is on my eighth house cusp and I've had Taurus sun friends.
