THE MEANING OF THE EIGHTH HOUSE
The Eighth house originally belongs to Scorpio, which means this is a negative fixed water house. Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac; it represents facing the darkest impulses of our nature and discovering our personal power. Like an adult discovering the power of intimacy and personal vulnerability, Scorpio is focused on facing crises and deep psychological transformation.
Accordingly, the Eighth house represents our vulnerability, as it contains all the most private things that we keep to ourselves and only share with a few selected people who have gained our trust. This house includes our intimate relationships, our ability to share with others and to trust others. The Eighth house describes finances we share with others, sudden changes, crisis situations we must face, our survival skills, and our personal power, as well as our attitude towards death.
In this house, we can also find our private matters and personal problems. The Eighth house describes our deepest secrets that we don't share with others, as well as traumas that leave a deep mark on us. This is also where we find our fears, paranoias, and repressed feelings we must bring to light. The Eighth house represents the personal crises we must face; their consequence is deep transformation and personal growth.
The Eighth house encompasses everything that is invisible to the eye, that is hidden beneath the surface, everything unknown, as well as all the knowledge, which requires deep study and a lot of research. This house represents solving all types of secrets, discovering the unknown, psychological knowledge, and occult knowledge.
One of the main topics of the Eighth house are the resources we share with others, as well as those we receive from others. This includes the money we share with our partner, as well as the gifts and inheritances we get from other people. The inheritances can be financial but also of other kinds, e.g., inherited psychological or health problems, talents etc. This house also includes our taxes and debts, in other words, the money that belongs to other people, not to us. The Eighth house can also give us information about our partner's financial state.
The planets located in the Eighth house are hidden and we tend to be unaware of their power. We only become aware of their true potential when we find ourselves under intense pressure. This means we must first face crisis situations and learn how to survive them. Planets in the Eighth house must first go through a process of transformation, so that we can uncover their (that is: our) real abilities; in this way, we build our personal power.
