8th house in Scorpio
A. N. Ryzhov. House Cusps in Signs
Quick death, usually violent or in a fever. Or during an abortion (miscarriage). As if the old woman didn’t suffer long in the high-voltage wires, her charred carcass was picked at by hedgehogs in the bushes.

A needle with Koschei’s death. The dispositor of the 8th house is its ruler. A person reacts to changes in the main conditions of their existence emotionally, with prejudice, and deep down places great hopes on them, especially when Scorpio is afflicted. They should remember that external problems, especially global ones—such as a suitable partner, adequate work, and environment—are resolved only to the extent that internal ones are addressed; otherwise, changes in external conditions usually only increase psychological pressure. At a low level, a person exhibits their worst qualities: they fly into a rage, shirk any responsibility, project guilt and duties onto others, and radiate extreme anger and irritation, feeling that everyone is obligated to love and protect them, while these scoundrels failed, missed, and overlooked everything themselves. Processing (at the level of the eagle) grants, in borderline situations, reliability, a sense of responsibility for oneself and others, and the ability to stop someone else’s hysteria, though the change of egregore itself will have a distinctly Scorpio, essentially emotional-penetrating nature, and the tension that arises can be very intense, especially with a strong 8th house. Psychological crises will be deep, though always outwardly noticeable; they are intensely emotionally experienced, and as a result, the person changes greatly, though it is impossible to predict exactly how (in general, and especially in this case). In a state of crisis, a person’s flaw will be excessive emotionality and subjectivity, especially in self-assessment and self-analysis. A psychologist or psychiatrist will find such a patient very difficult, in part because they may inadvertently touch on their own unprocessed weak points. In a group, a person will command respect, especially when discussing ethical matters, as they may speak the truth that others fear or cannot express. If Scorpio is afflicted, this “truth” may be perceived as outright slander and defamation, followed by the person being sacrificed and burned at the stake—hopefully symbolically. A person has strong inclinations toward occultism, a special interest in mysticism, the problems of life, death, or reincarnation. Hypnotic abilities, a characteristic magical gaze; however, occult practices carry sharp risks, especially when Scorpio is afflicted: one can fall under the control of a very harsh magical egregore and become its puppet.

Psychological crises are deep, though outwardly little noticeable. Strong emotional reactions in stressful situations, biased assessments of events. When afflicted, fear of death or phobias based on it is possible. Clear, stable resolution of problems related to risk. The impact of negative situations is often strong, persistent, and sometimes lingering. Danger from water, medications, acids, or radiation. Processing should focus on correcting excessive emotionality and subjectivity, especially in self-assessment and self-analysis. Developing reliability and a sense of responsibility in crisis situations. The potential to be a conduit of occult information, to penetrate secrets, or to inherit spiritual legacy. Strong inclinations toward occultism, magic, and mysticism. Interest in the problems of life and death, reincarnation.
Pavel Globa. Houses in Signs
SCORPIO – maximum activity. The ability to take risks and emerge unscathed from any catastrophe. Unusual vitality and strength of spirit. A magical ability to deflect others’ negative situations. A powerful magician, an “atomic reactor.” A thirst for power and self-confidence. Extremism is the norm of life. Possible development of higher psychic phenomena. Danger of mass catastrophes, encounters with the criminal world, mafia, and violence. Death is quick.
