Tell us about your 8th house

as in real life scenarios..

I have Moon and Mars in 8th. Way back when I tried dating apps, I found most people uninteresting and vapid. Not a snob I just hate small talk and talking about myself. I barely chatted with anyone longer than a week but got to know 2 guys over the course of about 6months.

1st turned out to be a convicted murderer. Yup, showed me the news article and everything. He’d been out for almost 10 yrs and was super nervous to tell me. Very genuine and interesting guy. Still hits me up to say high.

2nd was a recovering addict with over 7yrs sobriety. Told him I wouldn’t sleep with him and he still took me to Vegas. Strange, but a deep spiritual person who’d seen and learned a lot in life.

I think my 8th draws people with complex pasts and experiences. Maybe I find they have substance.

The Pisces has 3 outer planets in the 8th and he has some pretty crazy, ancestral talents. People living and not want to talk to him. He just knows stuff.

We both like astrology.

How does your 8th house show up in your life?

Do you have inner or outer planets there?

i've got 8th house moon.

haven't really attracted murderers or addicts but I've mostly encountered people who've said very little about themselves (kinda mysterious i suppose). i mostly rely on 'vibes' and if i like hanging around someone.

maybe it got me to marry a scorpio moon I met on facebook (most of his pics were out of focus, obscure, almost off-cam). the impression was 'mysterious' but knowing him, he turned out to be the sweetest and silliest man (which i love even more). doesn't drink nor smoke. and surprisingly to me, we both share a love for thrillers and old hollywood plots.

the 'vibes' are real. Hey did you use the facebook group "Are We Dating the Same Guy + city" to screen him? Women post pics and share tea. Highly entertaining

I don't have any planets in my 8th house. My 8th house is ruled by Sag with Capricorn intercepted. Online and in person I tend to attract Capricorn men who come on too strong, and they often have Sag venus or Sag mars. I'm attracted to Caps, but its like damn slow down, I don't even know if I like you yet. Also I feel like their interest is mostly physical/sexual and it turns me off. That's as strange as it gets for 8th house for me. I am also attracted to men with Cap mars, but they usually come on less aggressively thankfully.
So all Sag placements on men = ho? sad

I hadn't thought of it but yeah I guess so. LOL. I can always count on Sag placements to get me laid. Leo mars too, but thats 4th house, so I am not sure what their attraction to me is.

Did you find Saturn here restrictive in your younger years?

I also have Chiron here but find it's more about family secrets around me

How has it shown up with your Sun?

I remember some of your posts, you don't say much but have strong opinions when you do

Lots of one liners

Yes, but only because I lived in a strict household growing up.

Sag 8th house. Mars, Neptune, and Uranus Eros with sextiles to Venus.

Yes I'm highly sexual but also spiritual. I even mix the 2.

Very picky about my partners, so not a slut. I can't deny the hoe qualities as man but I want to be a Hoe with my partner. When I get hungry that does get hard.

I tend to attract people going through 8th house stuff. Magnet attraction to sexuality expressive woman and I don't judge.

My type is usually judged.

The aggressive part you talk about, I personally have issues with that. Their are times I've been into someone and held back only for them to go elsewhere.

I'm trying not to take it too seriously and just relax but it can be frustrating.

It's catch 22 for me, you woman are the gate keepers to intimacy and I feel like I got to wait until the green flags get thrown but if I'm missing it, quick to move on.


Neptune in Sag in the 8th... I guess that makes me sepiosexual!? 🤔
Mercury in 8th house while pluto on 3rd house.
I don’t have anything in my 8th house.
Pisces? Idk. There's nothing in it. I'm more of a 4th house-centered gal.
Cancer 8th H and I only have my vertex there.

Tbh couldn't tell you how it plays out. I've attracted like 2 cancer men and the rest seem scared lol
My 8th house is in Taurus ruled by Aries cusp. I have mars there in Taurus. It's Squared by my sun in Aquarius and opposed by my moon and pluto in Scorpio. Fixed T Square.

I can only function on a human level with emotional depth. Everything else and every other encounter is just like me being an Alien, can't relate to anyone.

Yeah I'm similar. I've actually had to turn down lots of women in my younger years when I was in a band. I have the urge to do it but I can't when it comes time to actually do it.
Aquarius 8th House with my Jupiter there, opp Sun and trine Mars/Chiron... no idea lol someone explain
My 8th is loaded. It’s painful tbh and at times exhausting.

I manifest almost instantly with all that energy but death is a reoccurring theme for sure.

Part of me screams this is bullshit.

My do I have to play the game everyone else is to have similar or at least my own experiences. Free from guilt and without feelings like I missed out.

I've always held back in this category.

Overthinking mostly was my problem.

Lol still is.
I think I have Saturn in my 8th house. Like I don't know how that suppose to manifest in my life.

🤷‍♂️

Have you found a balance yet? I agree its hard. On ine hand you dont want to seem disinterested. On the other hand you dont want to come off like its just about sex.

I haven't. I think its a mindsets problem.

How I'm approaching it because that will dictate my behavior and responses to the courtship. Because that will determine how and if I click with someone.

Does that make sense?
