8th House

#1

can anyone elaborate on the 8th house?

is this a house of misery, since Saturn rules the 8th house?

the Chinese view the number 8 as a sign of prosperity and infinity.

I have several planets in the 8th house, but i have a relatively good and easy going life.

I know other planets play a big role in the structures of ur life, but could someone explain to me about the 8th house?

8th house is the House of Scorpio, ruled by Pluto, whereas the 10th is the house of Capricorn, ruled by Saturn.

The 8th is the house of death. It can mean someone's death, our own as well - literal and metaphorical. You know, death of old and outworn psychic structures. Also it is a house of shared finances. I'd add intensity - typical Scorpio/Plutonian features.

The house of 'self-undoing' is the 12th. The people who have planets in the 12th must work on themselves to sublimate the energies, as this is the powerhouse of psychic energies.

I have the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune in the 8th house. I also have 3 of my other planets in Scorpio but I'm not going to reveal them.
The way my 8th house has effected me, all had to do with transits. For example, when Saturn was transiting my 4th house in my childhood my parents had gotten a divorce, then once Saturn went retrograde and I was living at a step-parents house, my brother began molesting me.
I have had a lot of the negative experiences and a lot of the positive experiences with the 8th house. I've had amazing sexual relationships, I've been close to people on a level I feel most people can't get to, I know myself extremely well even though on the exterior I'm very skeptical. My feelings about people are usually right, and most of the time its unfortunate. Sometimes I don't like how easily I see the bad in people. I've also experienced the down side of the 8th house in relationships, I've watched my family be torn apart by money and I can be extremely jealous to the point of obsession.

Transit wise, I believe it has everything to do with what ELSE is going on in your chart and the natal placements themselves. Some people will have very positive, life-changing transits through the 8th house and others deal with negative experiences. It all depends on the person and I'm not experienced enough to speak for anyone other than myself.

I'd like to know where you got the information that Saturn rules the 8th house? To the best of my knowledge, the 10th house of Capricorn rules Saturn and the 7th house of Libra also rules Saturn to a lesser extent. As far as I'm concerned the 8th house rules Pluto and to a lesser extent, mars.
