venus in the 8th

While the seventh house describes the types of partnerships to which one gravitates as
well as the ability to co-operate and share, the eighth house (second from the seventh)
depicts the financial assets and liabilities acquired through marriage, business
partnerships or family relationships, rnaging from money, stocks and real estates to
legacies, lawsuits and insurance benefits. Corresponding to the fixed Water sign of
Scorpio, the eighth house also symbolises emotional, psychological, sexual and financial
attitudes that colour personal and professional relationships - easpecially the use and
misuse of power.
Just as Inanna and Dumuzi represented the convergence of sex, money and power,
individuals with Venus in the eighth house seek the same type of adrenaline rush from
their financial conquests, intimate and / or professional relationships. When the Goddess
was sexually fulfilled, she was injected with a sense of potency that stimulated the
prosperous growing season and, ultimately, empowered her people. Similarly, the selfworth of individuals with Venus in the eighth house is directly connected with sexual
prowess, the ability to acquire money and / or the need to be in control.
Because the eighth house relates to emotional and sexual intensity, these individuals are
aware that, in order to satisfy their complex needs and sustain their interests,
relationships must have an element of challenge and excitement that quenches their
sexual appetite and thirst for money and / or power. If Venus is well-aspected these
people are charismatic, attractive and filled with confidence, magnetism and a boundless
sense of power and control over their lives, which attracts equally magnetic, commanding
and financially successful peronal and business partnerships. Although these
relationships may also be volatile and, in some instances, sexually motivated, there is the
capacity for striking the balance between emotional compatibility and physical attraction.
If Venus is harmoniously aspected, however (especially by Mars or Pluto), these people
may seek someone who provides the kind of excitement they feel incapable of attaining
through their own talents. The overriding passion and sexual power may become so
overpowering that these emotions will be exceedingly difficult to control. While they may
be physically attracted to and enticed by those who match their level of intensity, these
unions are more often than not compulsive and ill-fated, often evoking jealousy,
uncontrollable passion and destructive power games. Unless they learn to trust others
and relinquish thier inordinate need for control, their personal and professional
relationships will always be threatened.
Rather than strive towards equality and / or develop the seventh house capacity for cooperation, these individuals thrive on the struggle for suprmeacy and often utilise their
seductive charm and / or sexual prowess to achieve their goals by enticing others with
promised rewards of sex, moeny and / or power. In fact, the difficulties incurred during
relationships arise out of their egotism and the desire for constant self-gratification. With
their self-esteem in question, they frequently seek adulating partners, friends and
associates whom they can manipulate or dominate emotionally, psychologically and / or
sexually.
While the placement of fertile, beneficient Venus in the amazingly creative but potentially
destructive eighth house tests one's capacity to sustain a long-term partnership, the key
lies in the ability to maintain a balance of power while constantly revitalising a
partnership so it remains exciting and challenging. If their aggression, thrill-seeking and
high level of energy are channelled through the performing arts (drama and dance),
strenuous physical activities or competitive ventures that are creative and financially
