Sun in the 8th House This position of the Sun emphasizes an interest in mysteries, sex, finance, and the use of resources, etc. Instinctively, you are trying to connect to some mystical force so that you can reach out beyond the boundaries of your being. You sense that you can achieve this by coming together and interacting with other people. This occurs in a variety of ways and at all levels of consciousness. You may try to strengthen your identity and self-confidence by benefiting from other people's resources, but not necessarily in inappropriate ways. Some individuals find themselves involved more than most in the financial affairs of others. As such you may have a job that supports this. Others may be involved through some legacy or will. The eighth house has much to do with sharing and collective value, which may not be limited to material things. There is often a strong association with sex and the transformation of values. Transformation may occur due to a painful experience that serves as a catalyst for growth. Many will seek a deeper connection through a sexual relationship that goes beyond emotions. Others may have strong moralistic views. If the Sun receives challenging planetary aspects here, you may be possessive, jealous, and inclined towards lower realm witchcraft. Some astrologers equate the eighth house with criminal tendencies, but the whole chart should be examined for this. A well-aspected Sun suggests a resourceful, dignified, and humanistic type of person who aspires to use his or her angelic and psychic abilities.
