Eighth House

The House of Transformation

Rules: intimacy, shared resources, and rebirth Natural sign: Scorpio Ruling planet: Pluto Type: Succedent

The eighth house is the deep water. It rules intimacy, shared resources, and the great changes of a life: what you merge, what you lose, and who you become on the other side.

What the eighth house rules

Deep intimacy, other people's money, inheritance, and psychological depth. It is where things end so that something truer can begin.

Planets in the eighth house

Planets here run intense and private, shaping how you handle closeness, power, crisis, and the slow work of reinvention.

Naturally ruled by Scorpio. Each house has a sign that feels most at home in it. The 8th house belongs to Scorpio and its ruler Pluto, which is why this house carries a Scorpio flavour even before you add your own planets.
