So I've experienced this in synastry a few times and I've noticed a common trend of sharing personal information...probably a little too much.

One guy would text me drunk, sharing poetry he wrote about me. Telling me all his weird kinky turn-ons that disgusted me. He would text me all day regardless of whether or not he got a response. And I found myself telling him a lot of personal information too. I just felt like I could (even should) open up to him. It felt comfortable. I told him things I could barely admit to myself.

I went out with another guy with his moon in my eighth, and he literally laid out his life story within a few minutes.

Recently I've noticed a similar feeling with my boss. He will share a lot of personal information with me, just sit with me for hours and talk about our personal histories. Really painful, icky, private stuff. Or he'll ask me really personal questions (sometimes in front of people). It's enough to make me a little upset with him at times. Sometimes it feels like it crosses the lines of professionalism, but at the same time I feel comfortable sharing this information with him and am very open with him, and he obviously feels the same way because he shares some things that are very unflattering.

I've just noticed today that we have a composite eighth house moon.

Does anyone else notice this trend? Have you experienced this?

yep. i have my moon in someone else's 8th and i do think i overshare with them and become a bit of an emotional vampire. something about the 8th moon allows that guard to come down for people. but ime the house person is usually ok with it and feels special that you (over)share with them. it brings comfort and opens people up. it can get very deep and personal, too. but a lot of trust is there.

Oversharing? Man, I wish.

Though, I guess the fact that essentially no one actually knows him but me would be his version of 'oversharing'.

I've seen both extremes of this, however; where the MOON felt uncomfortable with the level that the 8H individual 'overshared', as well as a valued intimacy. I would say that my boyfriend and I are clearly in the latter camp, even if we're both extremely private. It takes a very, very long time for either of us to be able to 'get to know' someone.

I must not be a fan of it in general, however. He's the first relationship I've ever been in where his MOON is in my 8H.

What's been your experience? Are you the MOON in these synastries you're referencing?

So over sharing hasn't been your experience aubyanne? How would you say it does manifest?

Thanks for sharing! I fee like in the right context this could be a very good dynamic, but I've only witnessed it manifest in an unhealthy way.

Yep I experience this also. 8th house synastry is quite interesting to me. It's even more special when someone's planets manage to hit my 8th house vertex. Now that's something lol.

Ime, people who put their planets into my 8th house don't mind telling me about the skeletons in their closets, the painful past...etc... Hell they don't mind "being" their dark selves around me. In fact, they rather like it.

And I think they feel that I welcome that side of them. As though I finally pull the plug out of the figurative a-hole of their emotion and everything just flows freely.

My s.o puts his moon/venus/mars in my 8th house. The stuff he told me 1st time we talked was some serious eff up cr*p. He said he had never told anyone about those things.

My 8H is entirely Pisces, and my moon is there. I almost never feel like I am oversharing with Pisces, or that they overshare with me.

I have overshared with other signs, but with Pisces, it feels safe, and mistakes evaporate quickly.

I haven't run charts for every guy I ever dated...to my knowledge I've only dated one guy with a personal planet in Pisces...that was his moon.

We were so subtle together, it was hard to tell what the emotional quality of the relationship was even about. I think it would have taken us a long time together to really understand each other....even though in some ways, we knew everything from the beginning.

I never slept with him. One night he was telling me that it was very important that we have sex, not because he wanted to get laid (those were his words) but he felt we had to communicate that way to strengthen our relationship. Perhaps it's because he sensed his moon falling in my 8H? And he wanted to...uh, shine...in that house in a blatant physical way.

In both cases. My 8th is Sag/Cap and my moon would fall in someone with late Leo/early Virgo rising.

I don't share much with these people and they don't share much with me. Though I've had successful friendships with people with these placements. The ones I share the most too will have strong Pluto, Pluto contact in sunastry or composite with me.

I think I have this with someone. I feel comfortable telling them things about me. Especially in regards to things I enjoy sexually. It's odd because I hardly know this person.

In general, I would say an 8th house synastry would make sharing easier.

How does this placement work between two friends? Preferably between a man and a woman who are friends?
