Staring Down The 8th House

If you’ve got eighth house placements, life is not letting you off easy. Similar t Scorpio, your 8th house is about death, grief, transformation, and your karmic debt staring you dead in the face.

The Call Of The Eighth House

If you have eighth house placements, the sooner you volunteer to sit with someone and guide them toward the light, the better. That might mean literally being there for someone who has nothing else or nobody else. That is you saying to the universe, I take my course of life seriously and I am fulfilling my mission.

Eighth house placements are karmically meant to help with grief. Sometimes it is grief after someone has passed, sometimes it is literally being there as someone is passing. The latter is brutal. It is scary. But it is part of it.

Facing The Hardest Thing

Take it from me. I worked in hospice for less than a week as a nurse. I ran out of there so quick. It is so hard!

But I am telling you, try to sit alongside someone as they pass at least once in your life. At least once. Or if that is too much, help grieving people in your life or grieving strangers at least a handful of times. That is easier than watching someone die, let’s be real. But both matter. Both count toward your karmic work.

Eighth House Saturn and Moon

This is especially true for eighth house moons and eighth house Saturn. Saturn in the eighth takes the cake. Lots of death doulas, hospice nurses, morticians and embalmers have this placement. That is eighth house Saturn energy.

Some of you with Saturn or stelliums here may have even thought about those fields of work. This is exactly how you repay karmic debt. It is not optional. Saturn in the eighth is serious.

How Saturn Shows Up

Saturn in the eighth house means you process grief better than anyone else. You are wise and disciplined with death. You do not avoid it, you face it!

So when Saturn sits in the eighth, you get someone who is brilliant at helping others through the process of loss. They do not collapse when death walks in the room. They are steady. And that steadiness is how you pay your dues.

Career Or Karma: Your Choice

If you have a career in this field, you are already ten steps ahead. Hospice, mortuary work, counseling, death doula or anything tied to death or grieving puts you on track.

If you do not, you still need to carve out time in your life. You still need to sit with someone in grief. You still need to show up. That is how you pay your debt. That is how you increase the quality of your life. Period.

Feels Like A Transaction? It’s Not

It feels transactional, but it is not. You are already intuitively pulled here. Most of you with eighth house placements have thought about it. Maybe you have already done it. Maybe you are drawn to it without knowing why. That is the karmic tie.

And listen, the people who do make money in these careers, it is never about the money. It is about wanting to be a part of the process. They are drawn in with humility. They are some of the most humble people I ever meet.

Eighth House Shadows: Use It Right

There are shitty people with eighth house placements. Having this house lit up does not automatically make you compassionate. Some people abuse it. Some people twist it. But when it is lived with grace, it creates the most grounded people on earth.

Saturn Says: No Running

When Saturn sits in the eighth, it knows best. You cannot run from it. Whether it is your career or something you do a handful of times, this is your karmic path.

Moons and Saturns in the eighth especially are built for it. They feel grief more maturely than the rest of the world. They help others move through it with grace.

Help, Heal, Transform

If you have these placements, your life gets better when you embrace this. It is not about living in funeral homes and not about being surrounded by death every day. It is about saying yes at least once and about helping the grieving.

That is how you repay karmic debt. That is how you live your mission. Saturn knows best, and the eighth house does not let you forget it.
