The 8th House

Massively misunderstood, uniquely undersold, and particularly presumptuous.

The 8th House is not about sex. It is about inevitability.
Death, taxes, intimacy. These are universal truths to existence. You cannot truly escape them, unless you plan to run forever.
Intimacy, even if not physical, is a must for human nature.
Death is consistent, immovable.
Taxes are inherent, along with inheritance.
One could add trauma to this list, but it's to be made clear that:
• It doesn't CAUSE or CREATE trauma
• It is NOT about traumatizing others
• It will show REACTIONS or THEMES of trauma
• Coping mechanisms (involving others) due to trauma

This would be our response, mostly.
The 8th House, with what it does deal with finances, does not just talk about taxes or inheritance.
It also discusses debt.

This debt can be, and often is, karmic.

This house can discuss loses as well, but most often our response to these losses.
The 8th, as an axis, is important to remember when involving the 2nd House as well.

"In order to make money you have to lose money,"
"No Pain, No Gain,"

Along with themes like gambling, insurance, investments, and loans.

Intertwined, too much of one offsets the other.
The 8th House is a house of intensity, of intimacy, of enticement. It is the feeling of inevitability, just as much as it represents it's corporeal concepts.

So, how are these expressed?
This can be expressed through many ways, like coping & bonding.
The intimate part of the 8th is much more specific, and well, intimate, to the individual. However, it's nature of enticement can be discussed much more simply in the terms of Synastry.
Having 8th House Synastry with someone is the feeling of "knowing," them. You understand them, if you have a planet in their 8th. If you're the House individual, you mostly feel drawn to them out of curiosity and desire.

Without supporting aspects, these are "false flames."
This passion and intensity goes from the complex nature of the stars and all that is human emotion, to the basic, animalistic needs that are just as inevitable as death.
Life, and procreation.
The feeling of wanting to be physically intimate, even if not with anyone else.
