With Sun in the 8th and Pluto in the 1st, Mars and Saturn in the 10th... it's difficult to hide the sting...or the work hat. :$IP: Logged |

No way! I'm Leo Sun conjunct Mercury and also Virgo Mars in h8. I would say I like to display who I am.For me, the 8h emphasis plays out as an obsession with deep psychology and wanting to dig beneath the surface and understand what people might be sublimating--to take a truthful look at the subconscious. I'm definitely INTERESTED in hidden things and secrets. IP: Logged |

The few that I know... I would say no. One I know for sure doesn't hide themselves more than the average person and the others certainly don't appear to. IP: Logged |

I just got that line from the song Bittersweet Symphony stuck in my head that says "I'm a million different people from one day to the next, I can't change my mold..." Not that I sit around listening to that song a lot. That lyric kind of sums it up somehow? I don't think I'm much able to hide who I am in a broad sense, even if I wanted to...but I'm a pretty multifaceted person, with a Pisces Sun and Neptune square both my Sun and Moon. That said, I am fairly secretive. There are many things I don't tell people about myself, and I go out of my way to avoid divulging. I prefer that most people know me on a fairly superficial level. The people I "get deep" with are few and far between, and anyone else simply does not need to know that much about me, to my way of thinking. So I think I would say something more along the lines of I section off different facets of who I am, and allow certain people to see certain aspects. That's usually about all they see. They can be surprised, I think, when they catch a glimpse of the different layers. It's not always intentional; I think I'm just reluctant to allow anyone to really know me on a deeper level. As a matter of fact, I may go back and edit some of this, so don't quote please. IP: Logged |

8th house sun here. Truth is, I usually show more than people want to see. It might be because I have Scorpio Neptune in the first, but the truth is, nobody ever really tries to look.IP: Logged |

I do this as well. It seems to be rather all or nothing for me, but I also have Pluto in 3H, which would add to that tendency. I might be very honest about things that probably make people uncomfortable, or I might be very secretive. It really depends on the situation, and the person/people I'm talking to. IP: Logged |

I can relate. Also a Leo Sun/ Mercury in 8th H with Cancer on the cusp and Leo inverted in the 8th H. I also come off stand offish and intimidate people. I guess its just a defense mechanism. I don't trust people right away. And it takes a while for me to open up to people right away contrary to the supposed "happy go lucky" Sag Asc that I have. Also Leo Sun in 8th H is square Pluto in 11th H. I don't have tons of friends - but the ones I do are very intense and close. Also the thing about the Sun in the 8th H is that it represents the ego transforming through intense relationships with others - we seek constant intensity and ego deaths. Sort of speak.

i started hiding my true self as i got older. in my younger days, pretty much everything was on display for other people to see. i did have my secrets, but in general i was very outspoken of my tastes, opinions etc. and most of them were controversial. nowadays, i pay more attention to what i reveal, especially when meeting new people. i mostly always hide the pain.

I know a couple of 8th house people and from what I've seen, they try to hide it but it's pretty obvious to others around. Like hiding the wound by putting a bandaid over it... But we can still see the blood seeping through. I think a 12th house sun can hide much better than an 8th house. IP: Logged |

I would say the "hiding" who you are is more Sun in 12th. This especially in water signs. Former President of the U.S.A George Bush has Sun in 12th. His Leo Asc default persona betrays his Sun in Cancer more reticent and passive position. With Sun in 8th, the personality is more of a "discovery". In that the self (Sun) is often hidden under various layers of psychological barriers that one has to consciously dig through. The native has great power within them. But often they find themselves having to practice the mantra of "self belief". And usually this inner confidence is honed when one has gone through upheavals and strife (8th house). In other words, the light (Sun) never shines out in the day quite as radiant and pwerful as it is seen during the darkest of nights(8th) So it is for this reason that Sun in 8th house people seem to be unconsciously drawn to crisis and things that scare the hell out of the rest of us.In that they are looking to discover their own light (Sun). The light (Sun) within (8th). Who they really are. Often I see that with Sco Sun, there is a need to find a way to make ones own way in the world through financial independence. Often Sun in Sco(or those with South node in Sco), will find it easy to rely on the sponsorship/resources of others. Thereby getting trapped in other's emotional games/manipulation tactics because the other person has gotten them accustomed to a life they can't escape. Maybe the other person uses their leverage/power to override the Sco Sun's will/ego. And they find themselves blessed with material wealth.But the price they pay for that is HUGE. There are a lot of power plays and little peace of mind. As they have to constantly "manage" their beneficiarie's ego. Sometimes it IS Sco who resorts to this i.e THEY are the ones with the treasure chest and ability to change another's life drastically. But then there are strings attached. The other must jump at request of the Sco's will. Sag Sun Jane Fonda can tell you all about that. She married Sco Ted Turner. A very wealthy man with a terrible temper. I often see the same themes appear with Sun in 8th. In that they can either wait for another to come "rescue" them i.e a wealthier spouse/lover/ Family's influence etc. Or they can learn to harness their own resources 🤷🏿♂️. Often the self esteem is shaky(this especially when Moon is also is in Sco/ aspect to Pluto). Anger issues and problems with the temper can be the case . As they can go through a series of up/down emotional highs and lows brought on by loss/collapse. That finding peace is difficult. Maybe the Sun in 8th feels like their life is a series of having to "start over"? There is certain level of personal detachment they get from having to see everything they worked for crumble. And in that aftermath, just like the Sco Phoenix analogy, they discover who they REALLY are(Sun). IP: Logged |

This person may mature later in life and may tend to hold back and be kind of suspicious or things like a Scorpio is. This person will be very perceptive too.------------------ Want to Read Simple, Fun,Sexy Articles on Astrology? Check Me Out, DUDE. http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/
