Planets in the 8th House

Soul Friend said Aug 25, 2007, 8:02 PM:

I've got an interest in planets in the 8th H but past the typical mundane issues of money from a partner, taxes, or sexuality and more the issues of death and its study, the paranormal or metaphysical issues, and transformational spiritual matters. My natal chart puts both Saturn and Chiron there in conjunction.

Has anyone else got planets there or interest in these less tangible areas of the 8th H? What about links to sites with good info there. I briefly found a site listing the more metaphysical influences of planets here and then after arranging a bunch of charts in a folder with 8th H planets I lost the site due to computer trouble. Anyone

i have Saturn in the 11th in Scorpio which is a little similar.
Discerning proclivities is mitigated by having a Capricorn Asc also.
Finding my self to be rather overly serious on occasion.
Saturn placed at 16:38 Scorpio in 11th in close sextile to the Sun at 16:40 Virgo 10th.

Of course the influence of Scorpio brings the similarities and as well so might the fact that both
the 8th and 11th Houses are each Succeedent.

That's certainly a fascinating emphasis. Does it come to play elsewhere in aspect to the other planets from either of your charts? Maybe it holds prominence in your chart patterns?

hi

i too have saturn (Rx) in pisces (actually) and aries (tropically); and chiron (Rx) in pisces in either calculation … both in that 8th house … what kind of torture are pisces planets in that 8th house?!!!

as for the death thing … i find do a lot of help with people who are transitioning from this life to the next. i didn't really notice that i did that until someone pointed it out to me.

i study leonard orr and have absolute conviction that just as every thing in life on earth is a choice, death is one as well. i do not believe, like leonard orr and others teach, that physical death is the inevitable outcome of our human existence.

peace & harmony,

Hi!

My Rx Saturn and Rx Chiron are in conjunction within 5° so I feel you. They're opposite My Virgo stellium of Venus-Uranus and Pluto all T-Square my Moon-PoF-S.Node in Sag as the focal Planet in the 4th House as the base of my psyche. So, Boy oh boy, I feel you.

Pursuing the 8th House issue of Depth in Life has sufficiently provided a “controlled” outlet for much but loss has occurred in the form of people leaving my circle after finding deep connections with them. While I've come to accept this I feel I stopped connecting as much recently and that's when March through June sent death my way considerably via 3 individuals in my immediate family. Uranus has entered that house as you may have noticed. It's been a real roller coaster complete with screaming lately and not the fun kind.

On the flip side, as a minister my greatest rewards seem to be caring for the bereaved, but lately that's been on hold for my own journey.

i am so sorry for your losses … sending you lots of love.

yeah, uranus tipped into that 8th house then retro'd back into the 7th … i'm actually very excited to see what happens when it moves direct again and finally stays in that 8th house for good.

i don't know if you've study any of carl payne tobey or not … but he's theories and concepts are quite interesting and i am finding that i am resonating with his thoughts. the 8th house in particular, becomes not ruled by scorpio, but by capricorn. it helped some of my understanding of that Rx Saturn in that house make a bit more sense. i'll write more about it after i read the chapter on it again … its all so new i haven't really fully digested all of the meaning of what he's writing quite yet … fascinating stuff, though.

very interesting configuration you have … i have pluto-sun-uranus stellium in virgo with venus-asc-jupiter stellium in leo … makes for a fun ride!

peace & harmony,
elaine

Two more deaths have occurred but not so close this time. My grand uncle and a dormer co-worker. I still see Pluto and Scorpio here. Capricorn not so much.

I have my Taurus Sun and Mercury in Gemini in the 8th house… I have always felt more mature, I preferred spending time with adults when I was a child.. but at the same time I am very young at heart. I have been fascinated with sex, death, the paranormal, mysteries of the world, and anything mystical since I was a child. I have psychic experiences from time to time, have telepathy quite regularly, and can feel and hear spirits. But I also have a very strong 12th house, so that might contribute to it.
