Psyche in the 8th House
With Psyche in the eighth house, the soul is most sensitive in deep intimacy, shared depths, loss, and transformation, so you feel with great intensity in the hidden places and may be markedly psychic. The gift is a soul that goes to the depths and heals what it finds there. The shadow is a tenderness guarded by control, or drowned in old wounds. The growth is letting the depths transform rather than scar the soul. At your best your soul is reborn through what it survives and helps others survive theirs.
Lean in — Let the depths transform the soul rather than wound it shut.
Watch for — Guard the deep, tender soul behind control or suspicion.
