Transform in Your 8th House

Commonly known as the house of death, sex, and rebirth, the eighth house can seem a little intimidating at first. But this house is the place where transformation happens—deep, first-hand experiences that fundamentally change who you are or how you think of yourself. Your eighth house also encompasses external resources (for instance, inheritances or taxes). It is often linked to occult and esoteric matters.

Planets occupying this house often go through major changes over the course of a lifetime, exuding powerful multidimensionality. If your eighth house is full of planets, there’s a good chance you’ll spend your life feeling called to be close to the stuff most people can’t bear. Think: healing, hospice, midwifery, and therapists – all vocations that deal with the most challenging aspects of our lives. This house also rules inheritance, both literally and figuratively. There is an incredible intensity linked with this realm, which is often fueled by things that exist beneath the surface.
