I agree ,thaks for all this info oliviaThis thread cheered me up! Thank you Olivia for your valuable knowledge!
Hello 8th house readers...I am an 8th house sun and am in a period of severe 8th house transit (Venus is there now, Mars and Uranus recently left). I feel my 8th house DEEPLY all my life. Could you please take a look at my chart and let me know what you see? Some astrologers would define the Mercury in my 8th as the focal point of a yod created by Moon & Uranus at the base. It's a widish angle to the moon...but I feel something to this as the occult, themes of life/death/regeneration, Scorpionic themes of descending to ascend, sex, other people's resources (I always seem to be the one connecting person to person, resource to resource, and never getting anything out of it other than warm fuzzies ), and transformation/transmutation...my mother likes to tell a funny story about the first time she heard me read at age 3, and it was from the book on her night table at the time: "On Death & Dying." How 8th house. I feel right now the 8th house has me in its deathly grip, and there is nothing to do but pass through it (metaphorical death, of course).
In support of Modern astrologers, my twopennethThat's the modern opinion, Claire. In trad it's a bit different. The eighth house is not related to sex, that falls under the aegis of the fifth house.
Also, a planet being in the 8th, or idle place, isn't the same as a person being there.
The OP is versed in modern astrology, and asked for a traditionalist perspective, which is what I provided. He's certainly free to agree or disagree as he sees fit.
There are no malifics in your 8th house, which is good BUT the key to your chart is researching your YODS.I have an eighth house stellium as well, I'm curious what the traditional astrologers have to say about it?
Libra Asc, gemini sun (also pisces) all have problems with restlessness and procrastination in my mind. In fact gemini are notorious for sitting on the fence and not wanting to make decisions at all if they can get away with it. So how 'afflicted' are you in this department?
Wow, that really is something. I have never seen a chart that looks so identical to mine! Kites are pretty rare configurations, so yeah, thats awesome. Lots of the same house placements too.Matty, are you related to me somehow? Our charts are VERY similar!!! What does this mean? Are you a soul mate of sorts? My astrological twin? There has to be something to this!
Well about Moon square Neptune, yes I am definitley emotionally disillusioned, lol. Not as much as I used to be though, which is good. I think my singleton moon is pretty powerful. I have a stellium in Virgo, but sometimes I think people are seeing a more Libra side of me, because of the way I react to people. Pluto is a singleton too as you noticed. It's conjunct my Midheaven, which is likely why I rise to positions of power at whatever job I happen to be doing at any given time.that stellium in 8th is involved a lovely Grand trine, only venus/mercury receives a square from Saturn in 12th house.
Venus squ saturn can show feelings of being unloved from childhood and having to work hard for financial recompense. Mercury squ saturn is good for studying and disciplined communications/writings etc.
Have you researched your moon singleton, plus it's square to neptune.This is emotional disillusionment and sometimes has been linked with eating disorders to. Pluto is also a singleton
I see the venus trine neptune as being very psychic, spiritual.
The houses are like the backdrop of a stage, the setting if you like, the planets are like actors and the aspects are how the planets behave in that settings/stage....So remember you may find it harder to identify with planets and Saturn in this case in Cadent houses….
"Saturn’s" influence seems to be more obvious in the houses than in the signs ‑ can rule the life with an iron rod, although invisible, by undermining the sense of *self‑worth and making it difficult for the individual to permit any close emotional contacts.
Saturn's sign indicates what you find uncomfortable and must learn to manage.
Where and how you feel a lack of confidence -- the house position of Saturn defines where you need to establish your skills, an issue you worry about and wish you could depend on !
Takes 28 years to go around zodiac. Stays in each sign of approx 2.1/2 yrs
Keywords: Saturn = Structure, duty, limitation, restriction.
If Saturn and Uranus fall in the same sign or house we get caught in a cleft stick, wanting to make changes but fearing to let go of the old.
I am also new to this, but I also have both my venus and mars in gemini conjunct in the 8th house. My north node is also in cancer in the 8th house, I have absolutely no clue what that means, still reading up on it
Mercury in the 8th can show a pre deceased sibling. However I dont lump cousins in with neighbours or friends. They belong to aunt's children or uncles..........6th + 5th or conversely 12th + 5th so either 10th or 4th houses depending on what side of the family. This I have borne out in my experience......
I also have an 8th house stellium and use modern astrology but I am anything but idle. For me it is inheritance, crises and transformations, life and death matters, debts and loans, gifts and shared resources such as investments.
It deals with the occult, secret activities and the sexual orgasm or the "little death" of sex. It is rather a heavy house actually.
