Saturn in the 8th House

How Saturn works in the 8th house

Your feelings and spirituality are deeply private, and you dislike talking openly about them. That can make you seem rather cold or hard. Yet you're capable of extraordinary attachment to relatives, friends, and lovers; you simply don't know how to show the depth of your feelings.

You're ready to help with advice and action, but don't intrude or meddle in other people's affairs. Restraint, patience, and tact are among your strengths.

You're unlikely to have a deep interest in mysticism and may spend only a little time exploring phenomena science can't explain. The unknown fills you with a vague fear, and you distrust change. Rapid shifts in events and social attitudes leave you feeling insecure, but you're certain things were better in the past.

What the 8th house governs

The 8th house in your birth chart describes everything unusual in your life that falls outside the bounds of reason. Above all, it concerns your spirituality and attitude toward mysticism, as well as extraordinary intuition and unusual abilities, including whether they may emerge in you. The eighth house can also reveal unusual events that have happened to you or are still to come. Sometimes this house indicates whether you may receive an inheritance and how large it will be.

What Saturn represents

Saturn's zodiac sign in your birth chart governs your ability to organize yourself and your surroundings, as well as your ability to cooperate with others. Saturn reveals how you influence society and how society influences you.
