The 8th House could easily be one of the most complex, encompassing many deep aspects of the mind, including some very dark ones, it also symbolizes our generosity towards the world and many other related areas.
8th House in Astrology
Trust is a quality of paramount importance in life, not only the trust we offer to others in our immediate environment, but also the confidence we have in the world at large and in ourselves. The Eighth House goes far beyond the sex and superficial aspects of relationships presented by the Fifth House ; it's a deeper aspect of how we experience our sexuality. It's not just about "where," "when," and "with whom," but also about how we feel, whether we truly want to do it, and how much trust we have in that person.
It covers the deepest and most passionate romantic ties, it reflects how much you love that couple and the way to show it, especially in sex since it is not simple intercourse, it is to give yourself body and soul to that person with all that it implies. With an area less linked to sexual life, the eighth astral house also reflects this same bond of trust and dedication, but towards other relationships, such as friends and family.
Transformation is a facet of life for which not all of us are prepared, it is a transition that represents us and defines us a lot as people, the way in which we can handle these changes in life will be reflected in the 8th house.
The eighth house reflects the legacy we receive, whether material or spiritual. It also symbolizes our philanthropic nature, that part of us that seeks to give to others in need in a completely selfless way. Of course, not everyone is so charitable, so the planet we have in the eighth house will greatly influence how we treat the less fortunate.
Lastly, this house also personifies the darkest part of the human being, deals with our deepest mysteries, desires and fantasies but which are not well seen by many people, not many people are able to show their true selves to the world, for fear of the contempt of others and that is just the most superficial aspect, imagine that you comment out loud your darkest desires and we can assure you that many will not see you with good eyes from now on.
The dark facet does not end there, death is also implicit in this house, although it is a debatable issue because it is something that surrounds us every day, it is also silenced by many people, the way we face death is reflected in the eighth astral house
Water element)
It belongs to the signs Scorpio (which is also linked to the 8th House ), Pisces, and Cancer. Water is an element that can constantly transmit many energies, and these must be carefully channeled, otherwise they could become a vast ocean in which you could metaphorically drown. On the other hand, it is such a life-giving element that it gives people lightness, bestowing artistic talents and bringing joy to anyone who allows it to flow.
Ruling Planet (Pluto)
Perhaps the fact that it is the farthest planet from the sun, that it is plunged into darkness and personifies the God of the underworld in mythology, has a lot to do with its link to the eighth astral house. It symbolizes transformation and death, as well as deep desires and dominance.
Zodiac Sign (Scorpio)
Represent those born between October 23 and November 22. They are powerful and imposing people, they are not afraid of anything because they can easily reflect their own fear through their essence, being a native corresponds to a great responsibility, since they have such an intense energy that it can be harmful to people around them if they don't know how to control.
