Could you delve into 8th house Saturn a bit more? Thank you so much 💕 I love astrology and really appreciate the effort you (as well as many others) put into your blogs. I wish I was able to write my own astrological posts but I don’t possess great enough understanding to feel genuinely qualified.. it’s esp hard when you don’t have a whole lot to base/test your knowledge on (asking ppl when they were born can be off putting, and many dismiss astrology or find it amusing). Sorry for the tangent!
absolutely! this is actually a placement i have as well so i think i’ve got a pretty decent grasp on it! 💘
i find intimacy issues are common in those w this placement !!!!
those with saturn in the 8th may feel an overly-stressed need to be reserved, hushed, etc in matters relating to sex/sexuality/etc
they may actually be completely unconcerned with/uninterested in sex until later in life
often very closed off and hates being vulnerable, viewed as weak, etc
very intense people, feelings tend to run very deep for them and they rarely take things at face value
amazing intuition especially when it comes to judging other people’s character/intentions
they Never ask for help. ever. it’s bad
often heavily pessimistic people, although they’ll just tell you they’re “just being realistic”
it’s hard for them to trust others but when they finally let someone in and have a deep connection with them, if it ends badly it’s not something they recover from quickly (saturn in 8th people i find take a very long time to heal emotionally, because they don’t genuinely open up often)
may be very “”stingy”” with their own money and possessions (depending on other placements they might have issues with sharing, may restrict themselves greatly when it comes to spending money they’ve earned, might be the type to put sticky notes on their stuff in a shared fridge lmao!!)
likely a very jealous person (when underdeveloped), especially jealous of “successful” (financially, career-wise) people
this person may take sex very seriously and not be interested in things like friends with benefits, casual encounters, etc
a little bit of a dark take, but 8th house also connects a lot to death, if well-aspected, saturn in the 8th is generally said to bring someone a very long life!
i’ve found it sadly common for those with saturn in 8th to be ‘exposed to’ a lot of death from a young age, be it literal of figurative. you may have lost important people in your life from a young age, and had to learn to deal with those heavy emotions early on
those with saturn in 8th usually have to “”””be older”””” than they are, aka they likely had a childhood where they had to mature faster than their friends due to having more responsibilities than they should have
the type to carry the entire world’s burdens on their shoulders but hide it
