The 8th house is like the
“Underworld” of the chart and similarly to the 12th house it also hides things
below the surface.
Often the 8th house is likened to
the Scorpion’s lair and its modern ruler planet Pluto. So what are Scorpio
and Pluto known for? Scorpio is known for being a secretive and magnetic sign, and Pluto, at the
initial stages of its evolution, is all about power
and control in the name of self-preservation.
Returning to this
House’s emphasis on sex, it’s important to note that the French refer to an
orgasm as ‘le petit mort’ or ‘the little death.’ When we reach that exalted
state of communion, we leave a little of ourselves behind die a small death.
One can also choose to view this as growth, a new beginning, the rebirth of the
soul or a gain for the partnership. The Eighth House is an equal-opportunity
house,
placing sex, death and rebirth on the same level playing field and
acknowledging the viability and importance of all three. We will all experience
death and rebirth as part of our lives: failed relationships leading to new ones, career changes, a new lifestyle. We
are regenerated and reborn with each new phase and should welcome them.
