IN Astrology, the 8th house represents sex, taboos, death, resurrection, and other people’s possessions.
It is also considered an entryway to the spirit world and is sometimes associated with the occult and magic.
What do the 12 houses represent?
Each house represents a different aspect of life, from romance to career, and every planet in your chart is nestled in both a sign and a house.
These two placements highlight how a planet’s influence can affect your life.
Now even we're getting a bit confused with all of this, but according to wellandgood a good place to start is to find out which house your sun sign is in.
To do this, just put in your birth time, place, and location into a natal chart, like this one online, and scroll down to the description of your sun sign. There, you’ll find out what house it’s in.

According to astrologer Chani Nicholas: “The house that the sun is in within your chart tells you a key area of life in which your essential life purpose is lived out and where you need to express yourself.”

What does the 8th house represent in your birth chart?
Each house rules a different area of our life and when an astrologer interprets your chart, they look at the meaning of each planet as well as the house and the sign it’s in to predict any pitfalls or pleasantries you’ll face in this lifetime.
The 8th house can be considered a spiritual teacher to many.
It rules how we receive money, as well as the assets of our life partner/wife/husband.
This area also represents the darkest part of our natal chart. It can show how you will die, or even close encounters with death that you will experience in life, as well as the paths to death of others around you.
Death is not something that is literal, but can also be figurative. For the most part, it can symbolize change.
"A person with certain planets in the eighth house could be artistically inclined to death, or perhaps drawn towards some kind of dark style," writes Labryinthos.
Which sign's energy does the 8th house correspond with?
This mysterious firecracker of a house is ruled by seductress extraordinaire Scorpio.
A Scorpio's best traits are profound thinkers, secretive, passionate, while their worst traits are jealousy and their knack for revenge and manipulation.
