Sun, mercury, mars, in (Virgo) uranus and Pluto in (Libra), all in the 8th. Plus psyche, pallas, ceres and haumea in the 8th as well. Scorpio MC in 10th. My whole life is about beginnings and endings.

I do have Sun, Mercury, Pluto (all in Leo), as well as Jupiter, Uranus (in Cancer) in the 8th house what does that mean?

So I go back and forth between Sidereal and Tropical, but what's interesting to me is that my 8th House looks the same in both - Ruled by Aquarius, about half/half with Pisces. In Sidereal, Mars is ruled and Uranus are conjunct in Scorpio in my 5th House. Pluto is in Virgo in my 3rd (ruled by Virgo) and Chiron is in Taurus in the 11th (ruled by Taurus). I'm still puzzling out what all of that means, but so far I think I do have a very detached view of relationships - I'm not overly bothered by the concept of death and losing people because I'm aware that all bonds on this Earth are temporary. It's definitely not that I won't miss them, but I know that I'll remember the time we've had together, I'll probably see them again, and, if I don't, it'll be because I'm gone, too, and missing people will be among the list of many problems I no longer have. then I also sometimes get possessive/obsessive when I'm establishing a bond, like I really feel like that person will be gone forever and I haven't had enough time with them yet to let go. It's something I'm working on calming.

[memep.]

Libra Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter all within 8th House

What does this mean?~

[lilacdreams]

Ok so my 8th house is in Leo, you said to look at the ruler and it’s location on the chart. So my sun is in the first house in Aquarius. The sun is debilitated in Aquarius.Aquarius rules my second house. Aquarius and Leo are opposite signs. And to top it off my Chiron is in Leo in the 8th house. No wonder I’m complicated!

[nixy]

How to balance the 8th house most especially when it's loaded with many planets? i think that part was missed in the video

[marquitataylor]

scorpio, mars and pluto in the 8th house

[fridafortuna]

I have Taurus Saturn & Gemini Jupiter in the 8th house & they both contradict each other, how can I work though it? & how can I work though blockages when it comes to "Inmate" life?(I have trouble finding liberation in that as you can see from my placements) Thanks

[UniversalMysticsOfChrist]

Wow! Saw how he just threw shade at Pluto?! Lol!
