8th house conjunction in synastry?

This topic was created in the Astrology forum by brittagolds on Sunday, September 11, 2016 and has 3 replies.
My partners 8th house is in Cancer at 23 degrees, my 8th house is Pisces at 17 degrees. We both have north node in the 8th house...his being Leo at 10 degrees, mine Aries at 9 degrees.

What does this mean for us and our relationship?

I've also been doing composite charts and neither of us in land in each others 8th house... just curious as to if this means we still touch each others 8th house.
I've done a biwheel I believe... where you see which house lands in each others house. We don't have anything in each others 8th houses but I'm a little confused as to how we can have these 8th house aspects together and not touch each others 8th house..?
Can anyone shed some light for me?
