So for some reason had not paid attention to my houses and realised my leo moon is in the 8th house.

I am bit worried as thought 8th house was a super hard placement to have moon in?

Any one know much about 8th house placements?

Lol just kidding. It's actually quite the interesting placement. A lot of beginners to astrology will often freak out when something is in the 8th house because of the reputation this house has gained, but nonetheless it is just a deep, intense house.

Having the Moon there is noted to be quite the position for the Moon. I have an 8th house Moon myself, not to mention mine is opposite Pluto exact, so it is sort of a double-whammy. Powerful, deep emotions often course through me as if they could cut the world in half with a single strike. The 8th house moon experiences so much that they are often well-equipped to deal with traumatic events due to their emotional endurance. Deaths may not surprise them like most people, yet a death of one that they hold very dear to them could possibly derail everything for them.

Often is quite interested in dark subjects and the occult; things with mystery. Very powerful moon placement that ought to be understood quite well.

Find folks you can trust to share with so you don't have to carry the burden alone.

Ahh, I think it makes senses. I am definitely interested in others and the 'other worlds' and I show my emotions when I at breaking point then I burst into tears.

I will read up on the energy of the house.

This is very interesting, I have my Moon in the 8th, nothing less than in Capricorn, so I know about deep emotions and keeping everything for myself. I'm still discovering what this all means...but I like to think that I'm a resilient person.

I can call dad, but I woke up in a panic, and wanted to talk to mum - who is no longer here. I'm only functioning when I'm in denial.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I have not been through this yet in life and know that this would be devastating. I empathize with how you must be feeling at this time. I know it sounds like a huge cliche, but try and take one day at a time and lean on those closest to you because that's what they're there for. You will have those long nights and moments of panic. I know the feeling of this when waking up after losing someone you love. It shocks you and at first it's awful. But keep noticing things in your day, your surroundings, the people around you, and staying mindful.

Not sure if this would help but I just read a book called "When Things Fall Apart" by a Buddhist nun, Pema Chodron, and she has a way of approaching feelings/thoughts with a gentle perception. It can help you understand and process these emotions, perhaps help along the path to acceptance. Her writing is honest, funny at times, but simplistic in the best way. It's helping me to stay in the moment in my life now.
If you want, look into it, fairly cheap as well.

Wishing you the best and to stay present as much as you can.

Oddly when I was young I had a lot of experiences with death, ghosts, and spirits. Even now, my house seems to be haunted, but there is nothing really sensational about that to me, because I've been haunted most of my life. A few years ago I had an experience with an unfriendly spirit that was probably the hardest thing I ever dealt with, and it cured me of any last remnant of disbelief I had, that dark spirits exist and inflict damage on people. And now afterwards I am grateful it happened, as it removed the judgment I had towards certain people and their "non-credible" stories. I'm just more respectful now. And I also know a little more about the world, I think.
