𓆩♡𓆪 Everyone loves calling 8H / Scorpio / Plutonic energy taboo, but the second you actually start talking about what’s taboo about this energy, suddenly it’s crickets. Suddenly it’s too uncomfortable to talk about.
Um, yeah? It’s gonna be uncomfortable. That’s because a lot of people expect this romanticized pop astrology version of what the 8th house actually is, when really it is deeply unsettling.
It’s not just about people obsessing over you, it’s about unwanted attention. It’s about feeling like you're in the wild every time you go out in public and people look at you like you're a meal no matter who you are, how old you are, or where you come from.
It’s about illnesses developed from trauma. Feeling uncomfortable with yourself and your emotions given what you’ve been through. It’s living with demons, literally and internally. It’s about other people inflicting dark things on you.
It is the aftermath of what is left of that person after everything they’ve been through. The confusing feelings, the pain, the codependency.
It’s not all sweet. Of course, everyone’s lived experience is going to be different, but these things are just undeniable when we are talking about the eighth house and yet most astrologers don’t even want to go there.
It’s like oh, you liked the aesthetic of this energy, not the reality 😭
