Exploring Our Depths- The Richness of the 8th house || Astrology

[@LindaSmith-rp7yu]

This was exactly the message I needed to hear this morning. I'm looking forward to part 2 of this 8th house exploration. Thank you!

[@madronaspulse]

💜

[@MellyoftheSpring]

Haha, perfect timing... the eclipse next week is happening smack in my 8th. Thankyou for the deep, evolutionary dive into this well.

[@omairafigueroa9089]

Me too 🙏🏽🫶🏼

[@lornajgallagher]

14:54 Hey! If society owned all experiences, would there still be an 8th house? Do you see a society where these experiences aren't uncomfortable or taboo, but just deep and transformational? I believe the discomfort and taboo is necessary for the 8th house to be the energy that it is. The acceptable form of death is 12th house, the acceptable form of power is 10th house and the acceptable form of sex is 7th house. The fact that 8th house energy is jarring and uncomfortable is what makes it transformational in the way that it gives rise to the expansion of the 9th house. I'd love to hear your thoughts

[@madronaspulse]

I would say it's not the discomfort but the judgments and fear that create issues with how the 8th house gets positioned. For sure- discomfort is part of growth & transmutation. But there is a lot of societal shame that gets cast onto 8th house experiences and that's what, for me, is part of something created by power-over/marginalizing social orders and is not intrinsically part of an 8th house archetype/energy. But....there's so many layers to talk about with the 8th house! I'll do a workshop on it at some point. Blessings to you.

[@_N_F_]

​@@madronaspulse Yes please! I've been thinking A LOT about power recently ... and I would love fo hear your conceptualization of Scorpio/ 8th house power.

[@thephooliganmovement]

OOF, "there can be love present in a relationship that cannot last" got me good. ive had to end relationships w my closest friends and family over the past year, and it hasnt been easy. this was the reminder i needed, thank you!

[@astrologiaparaentender]

Thank you so much! I think this is the most beautiful, profound and accurate description I have listened to from the 8th house. So good the non judgemental vision of the co-dependency. You don't want to stay there but it's part of a journey of mutual help where the bond and intimacy are profound. I am Sun, north node and Moon in the 8th, Pluto in the 4th. In my fifties, I think I can say I love my 8th house. Such an intense life... 🙏💫

[@madronaspulse]

Thanks so much for sharing. Indeed- loving the 8th house- an intense & rich life. Blessings to you💫

[@archanakumaridasgupta5536]

It's actually about a lot more than just taboo. It's about transformations and so much more. I'm hoping you'll touch up on that. Also purified energies. Like the more something transforms, the more clarified it gets in some perspectives..

[@madronaspulse]

only so much we can talk about in 20 minutes! Blessings.

[@MissMorganRae-xr8ln]

As an 8th house sun with chiron conjunct both it and mercury I can say that partnership is the one thing I want and the one thing I've been held back from my entire life. Every time I get around others and start to feel better the universe Forces me to leave and sit alone. I've had three very short relationships and I'm 39 years old. No marriage no children. I don't speak to my family and have no friends. Everyone I meet my intuition tells me to stay away from. Even though I want friendship and love, I'm literally not allowed. I was alone as a kid and now my subconscious thinks I need to be alone. I meditate for hours a day and don't know what else to do.

[@TheFairyTV]

Instant subscribed when you mentioned your work is centered in unlearning supremacy ideology ie colonialism and patriarchy. Thank you. Not a lot of astrologers give this context on their channels. I’m a Pisces 8th house sun and mercury, Cancer 12th house mars. I use astrology for enlightenment and liberation. It is such beautiful, sacred and empowering knowledge to free self and get in touch with our authentic expressions. Thank you for this video

[@madronaspulse]

Thank you for subscribing!! Yes...SO important to bring these lenses into astrology and reading the archetypes🌈💫💜

[@nka3721]

amazing video, one of the best covering the 8th house iv watched so far

[@larriwallbridge8565]

Can’t wait to hear your part 2 on 8th house Iris. I am fairly new to your channel and you have rapidly become one of my favourites. So appreciate your wisdom and intelligence plus your clear way of articulating the underlying meanings. Thank you 🙏

[@olgajudice4915]

Exactly! The asceticism, for example, that I lived, in twenty years of complete solitude, had nothing to do with sexuality, taboos, betrayals, traumas, addictions, and other dark themes, everything that astrologers talk about, and yet, I lived an experience of profound loss of myself, from an absolute loss of power, a complete nullity, I felt completely destroyed; When I got out, I was another man. You have to see the archetype, you are absolutely right, Iris. I have the sun, Pluto, and Uranus in the 8th house and much more than this. (Mauro Judice, from Brazil)

[@Maria11221]

Mars & Jupiter in Scorpio in the 8H conjuntion Pluto in the 7H. Pluto square Venus and Moon. Very intense energy😵‍💫

[@beingofsymbols]

You have such a beautiful perspective filled with deep rich wisdom! Love you!🙏🏻

[@_N_F_]

... And 17:01 !!! Now I understand fully _why_ the breakdown of cognitive supremacy in my life, starting in 2022 or a bit before (Saturn in 9th hse + Pluto ongoing in the 8th)! ... I literally lost access to the most cherished books and notes I had and which I was depending on, and symbolically and significantly my laptop screen blacked out during eclipse season (- an incident preceded by an explanatory dream in preparation) - the strongest message ever!

[@melodydix4425]

Not so much lose parts of ourselves as much as becoming more/different I think. Like flavor added to the mix. Forever changed, never less than 🌼

[@micalotusfire1863]

Im really appreciating your channel ive just found it recently, since starting to learn astrology in more depth this year. This vid been really helpful as chiron and moon in aries in the 8th, opposite sun, pluto, mars and uranus in libra in my 1st. Just passed the point of my chiron return a few weeks back and it was my 50th on 2nd oct eclipse. My life is blowing up in a good way, your insight has really deepened my understanding of this somewhat strong time of shift and awakening in my life, thank you so much ❤

[@carlkarasZoNoNine]

Sun, Venus, Merc, Ceres, S Node in 8H, Placidus. But if I use Whole Signs, all 9H, which is kind of a relief. I can switch back and forth, I think. Did lose my father when I was pretty young though. That was a major transformation

[@madronaspulse]

Indeed, that is a lot of 8H energy...or 9H...💫

[@sherryjackson-barrett7542]

My natal 8th house has Chiron in Aries 18° sabien symbol an empty hammock. I hustle so much I never have a chance to rest. I am learning to rest/reflect & recharge!❤

[@Monag6608]

Thank you! What you tell is so much resonating with my strong 8 house energies and Scorpio ascendant. And thank you for sharing around the judgment of merging being "codependency" ... I have judged myself a lot. I was for many year married to a very emotionally detached man (aquariius) and I never saw my own emotional needs as valid. Did you do a second part Iris? 🤩

[@lulinasser]

I can't say HOW GLAD I AM for finding your channel with this video! MAN..... Finally someone with an actual accurate astrological point of view! I simply love your content! You've got yourself a brand new subscriber! Thank you so much for posting sensible content. 😘 PS: I loved when you criticized the TikTok "astrologers" 🤣

[@madronaspulse]

Thank you for subscribing! Yes...I try to tread gently when broaching into TikTok realms...💜

[@sohinidas2119]

Soooooo accurate... thank you...feeling blessed 🙏...from India...lots of respect

[@bbbfilipe]

this was an amazing approach to the 8th house, thank you so much

[@lisabrandi5324]

Thanks! Sure, I’d love to hear about 8th house intimacy. Look forward to all your videos. 🙏

[@shanalicachita]

I can’t thank you enough for this video. We are still in this New Moon in Scorpio energy and it fell on my 8th house so your trauma informed lens is super super on point and helpful.

[@hannajarvenpaa5079]

Definetly. Im having 8th h profection year ruled by Mars, and natal is in scorpio. New Moon conjunct Uranus and the transit stuff square nodes. It may be Saturn square Moon is adding up heaviness. Perfect November mood 🙂💀

So glad to hear this. 💜 Blessings to you

[@Mom21052]

Thank you for your interpretation of the 8th house! I loved it! Looking forward to a Part 2. Many blessings...

[@JaymiGracie1003]

Yes! Apart from the merging part, you did say a person with a strong 8th can have too much or too little power. Sun in 8th is so intense that my obsession with "death" figuratively or literally, scares people, I don't mean to. At all. It's just so familiar to my understanding how the death of the physical is not the end. It's messy af. Death doula is something I wanted to do, it's crazy you said that... The sun doesn't particularly enjoy being in the 8th or maybe people think so? Unfortunately yes abuse was so prevalent in my childhood, not physical but very much psychological manipulation and emotional neglect. Lol so my mom said to me "You should be a psychologist!" Nooo not really, I am 9 and you're my age inside mama. Pluto Scorpio 12th SO FUN ..but hey it lets me get over things quick. I'd love to find a trauma-informed therapist. I don't need all the pills lol (been there n stuff). Thanks 🙏😊

[@annajackard4121]

[@shilohelkanah]

this is so timely for me... after getting my quantum human reading + astro transit reading, i found that i have a lot of water (pisces, cancer) and my venus in aries in the 8th house in my unconscious chart. my conscious natal chart is a cancer rising, virgo rising in my unconscious chart... love your take on the 8th house. thank you Iris 🙏

You are welcome💜 Blessings.

Really fantastic, I resonate w your teachings so much 😊 I have vertex, saturn, venus, mercury + sun in the eighth house; my husband has vertex, saturn, venus + mars in the eighth house. Its deep + layered energies are something I am always trying to understand. Tysm ❤

Thank yoouu for this! This is the richest breakdown that resonates so much with my life. I have Sun, Mars, Mercury, Venus in Aqua 8H. I have more hope now working with this energy, and not it all being doom and gloom. Definitely looking forward to part two

[@turawolfe2841]

Hi! Thank you for this video! In my 8th house I have Jupiter 15 degrees Libra, Venus 23 degrees Libra, and Sun 14 degrees Scorpio. My 9th house starts at 19 degrees Scorpio with Mercury 3 degrees Sag with Moon 4 degrees Sag. Pisces rising at 7 degrees. I must say life has not been easy. I have become a different person in my forties than in my younger years. Today at 78 years I have transformed even more and astonished at some of my actions when I was a young woman. Not any property/money of the dead came my way, but property/money from the dead was promised in my natal chart. Too bad for me. My natal chart for cast an easy peaceful demise. This I am hoping comes true. Thanks again and I will look forward to next time. Bless your heart and soul!

[@cocofrog1976]

8th house stellium with 1st degree sun, Mercury, Venus and mars 29th degree of VIRGO 😅 ♍️. Having only been on a conscious spiritual path for about 5 years, things are coming fast and furious (I.e.,OVERWHELMING) for me! I have such a better understanding of my life experience thus far after having learned about astrology and these intense 8th house energies. Thank you for this wonderful supportive explanation 🙏🏼

[@marilynwarbis7224]

As someone with Saturn in the 8th house, I needed this video!

[@Saggigirl]

Me too along with chiron and black moon lilith

[@rosiesbitsandbobs4085]

So spot on I relate to all you say, however, I wish I’d of had someone who understood, each other, and being older now looking back I see the journey, but I question will this ever end, although I have a great relationship with the inner hurt me, and the divine within me, which I know is the real me, who helps no end now! Sun in Aries 8th house, zero degree, moon in Capricorn 4th house. Ouches! Definitely no boundaries, from growing up, everyone’s stuff was my responsibility,or I believed it was. This video is helping me so much see the bigger picture. Thank you so much.

[@jennifersmith378]

Wow! I suspected life would be hard!! 8th house pisces sun, leo rising so also chart ruler in 8th, venus, saturn and chrion for extra spice!! 🙄

[@melaniemairi1695]

Thank you this was so relatable. I have my Taurus sun and moon in the 8th (and many Pluto squares) and my experience with it has been what you describe - maybe I'm more of a stereotypical story - long-term incest from my father and had to put him in jail and caring for my Mother and brother through the long suffering of Huntington's disease until their death. Now that I'm older (52) I see that it has made me (but I also think that I was born with a nature that can naturally value and hold both the 'light' and the 'dark' equally) really familiar and comfortable with what most others find 'too much' or 'too heavy'. To me the fabric of Life is woven with these threads that are not all 'love and light', and it's inauthentic to push aside or pretend the other isn't as valuable, and maybe even does a disservice to us all to elevate one over the other. I know some people - usually men that I've loved that have their Venus or Mars in Taurus - say that I've been controlling and possessive of them or too intense - I think I can see what they're feeling. They're in that 8th house with me and it is a merging that could feel uncomfortable, and for sure when I was younger I didn't respect the fact that they weren't liking the experience of that level of closeness and I got caught up in power dynamics. I think a challenge of the 8th energy is that it is consuming and very raw, almost mask-cutting. But I've had many people tell me that I have the most calming genuine presence, that they feel they don't need to hide any aspect of themselves and I can be relied upon to be completely present in a crisis. Still curious and learning though!...

[@trystxn4159]

crazy how much i relate to this, i also have a taurus sun and moon in 8th lol

Thank you! I have an 8th house stellium with my Mars, Saturn and Jupiter conjunct in Taurus; so informative!!

[@artandnaturediaries9983]

Have to listen to this again! before part 2. I am appreciating the depth of content of all your teachings. Today I listened to the ones on Saturn, plus 4,8 & 12 houses. Maybe because I know that there is so much truth in what you share, I need to hear it. Really listen. My life this time has been about healing the intimate wounds as a spiritual path. Its so wrapped up with the Patriarch stream however, and today the penny dropped ( ah ha moment), ...I can embody the Self through Saturn as an integral part of this life. Explanation: My Scorpio Sun is conjunct Neptune in 4th trines Saturn conjunct Chiron in Pisces in 8th...which in turn sits opposite to Uranus conjunct Pluto in Virgo. 2nd. OMG just realising how the trine rectangle in my chart can help with all these oppositions.🤭!! THANK YOU

[@madronaspulse]

Thanks so much for sharing! Blessings to you💜💫

8th house in my Aries ♈️ for this solar eclipse. Thank you 🙏🏽 this is wild it’s already starting for me and it’s only April 4th. I hope I’m not so rocked any more than I already am. Yikes 🙏🏽💕♈️

[@EntrepreneurialismKat]

❓ how do you see the difference between: transformation & transmutation? Thank you for your insight!

[@madronaspulse]

here I used them interchangeably- I think for me, transumation speaks a little more to the breakdown of a perceived self awareness that can happen in the 8th house, as a new state emerges and can signal that depths we go to; but that is a transformation... what ever word resonates best. blessings.

[@_N_F_]

😢🙏🏼 ... You are awesome Iris!

[@_N_F_]

@madronaspulse Iris, PLEASE can you speak a bit to what healthy, balanced merging looks like? Without being of detriment to either side? Can that even happen or should I do everything (that is humanly possible!) to resist it? ... I do try my utmost to remain mindful. Ultimately I need my boundaries and the other person needs theirs.

[@madronaspulse]

I think that really depends on the energies in each person's 8th house, planets, etc. For me, if we have strong 8th house/pluto energies- 'healthy' merging looks different for each of us as we have different needs, desires, soul drives, etc. But definitely looking at 8th house energies in your chart and focusing on the archetypes is going to speak to this.

[@_N_F_]

@@madronaspulse 🙏🏼❤

[@madronaspulse]

@@_N_F_ and just say...for instance, if someone had Capricorn in their 8th house...then we have a bit of a paradox because Capricorn is all about boundaries, so this journey is about finding ground and having boundaries when merging, as if one could always be in touch with the rhythm of their heart beat in their body and not completely lose the self, because that is part of the Capricorn journey, here experienced in the 8th. There is still transformation and parts of the self are shed, but Capricorn is ultimately getting deeper & deeper into its own earth wisdom, here facilitated through merging, but never abandoning boundaries altogether. They might even be a leader of sorts in their merging partnerships, because that is part of the energy...

[@_N_F_]

​​​​@@madronaspulse Thank you! I really appreciate this! 🙏🏼

[@allison2879]

I have Neptune in the 8th🤩🧚‍♂️

[@dianasofi6565]

Thank u, I see more creat now the8th house. My Sun, Mercury and Venus are intercepted in Gemini in 8th house. I felt a very deep connection with someone over ten years ago. That connection changed me. I can't forget him and I haven't been able to have any relationship since then because I haven't found with anyone that depth of soul that effectively made us one... I will always love him...! He is also a Gemini and has the Sun conjunct my Sun, Venus and Mercury in the 8th house in synastry. What this means? In addition, I accumulated traumas having Saturn and Lilith conjunct in the 4th house in Aquarius. Pluto is in the 1st house in Scorpio. My parents died 3 years ago when I was 29 (Saturn return)…

[@Park_Hopping_Princess]

So my Sun, Neptune, Mars, and Uranus are all in my 8th house and they are all under Capricorn. my chart is very Capricorn and 8th house heavy. and I'd love some guidance because i feel like being a Capricorn and the 8th house contradict a lot with power.

[@leesabehan8100]

Venus in 8th ...great interpretation ❤

[@HermesWrenMusic]

I have 8th house North Node and Part of Fortune there... I have experienced all of the hidden depths and relational aspects of it. Thanks for this video, it was amazing. I've got one question, do you think someone with an 8th house destiny (let's say..) will more than likely always be 'merged' with another... or do you think someone could become merged with themselves through individuation or with the public... so that it, in the end, it becomes like the same dynamic.. except you are merged with yourself and/or a large group of people (let's say if you are a public performer, for example... which is what I am)... I am just curious about whether it might signify a long term merging with someone romantically.. or a kind of dependency.. or could it also mean 'depending' on an audience of supporters.. or depending on 'yourself'.. merging so much with your depths that you may not need anyone.. it's just something I'm trying to understand more.. what it could all signify.. thanks!

[@hannajarvenpaa5079]

Thank You so much Iris💖🪷✨️ Im deepening my understanding about this house because of profection year. Its empty aries house in my chart, opposed by Pluto and Mars in scorpio. Earlier there was very long grand fire trine with natal North Node in leo, Neptune conjunct Ic in sag and transit Chiron in aries. I felt that to be energeticly very healing period, but it was before this profection year. I just feel need for solitude and in general am not fan of company. Or, Im rather(= very) picky with 1st house virgo Sun, Mercury, Jupiter & Saturn. Considering the over all variables, including transiting North Node in aries and Saturn in the 7th, its no wonder Im merging myself with nature. I do begin to belive I do some energy cleaning. That sense has been growing slowly but surely. Soler return chart Moon is on 0 aries and Asc conjunt Neptune&Ic placing virgo in 10th with rx Mercury( only Mars & Jupiter are direct) yet natal is direct. Just going to take it slowly this year... Bests to All🎏

[@DamyanTenev]

I wonder if there is a connection having sun and mercury in the 8th and my ego being fixated on point 9.alot of similarities
