Moon in the 8th Synastry ‧₊˚🕯️🖤❀‧₊ ---------------------------------------- The Plight of Obsession <3
Today, Tumblrerians I will start this series off with THE INFAMOUS moon in the 8th house synastry... 🍷
(this is also my first post, so I hope you enjoy it, and please give me recommendations in the comments on what I should post next! now enjoy this lengthy post I have awaiting you❣️)
I have had this synastry placement a few times in my life. From my observations, the romantic interactions pertaining to this synastry tend to be more intense than the platonic. But let’s be honest, all 8th house synastry is insane and will drive you to the looney bin😍 unless both people express themselves in healthy ways, but like still. Upon meeting this person, something about them will intrigue you, and something about you will intrigue them. This kind of energy wraps tightly around your heart before you can even realize what is occurring. After you notice these feelings, it is often too late and now you are in for a ride of emotions that honestly is really no longer your choice.
This kind of situation can drive you mad because just one interaction with someone who shares this synastry with you, and it will pull at your heart strings. You sit there wondering why you are so riled up about someone that you don't even know that well. Why you hitch your breath after just one glance from them; and it has only been a week since you've met them you tell yourself. But in that one week that goes by, the thought of them has fully gripped your mind for those seven days. And the nightmare that occurs after you are separated from each other, their energy lingers and you begin to miss them deeply even though you don't even consciously know who they are. Subconsciously however, you know exactly who they are, what they need and desire.
On the other hand, there can also at the same time exist an energy of deep anger and hatred for this person because they trigger suppressed resentment and issues that deeply imbedded within you. Whether it is love or hatred, a common occurrence can be an energy of mutual obsession. Where the both of you are so enamored by each other because you both are experiencing a one of a kind event with one another. Intentional or unintentional, they will trigger everything that you want to hide and keep hidden away from the world. If you had a painful emotional experience from the past, whether or not you addressed it, their presence will remind you of those times. They might not be putting intentional effort to trigger you either, most of the time they’re not even aware, it just happens because their moon (a luminary) illuminates that area of your chart. You’re not the only one who feels it though. They feel it as well. Once again, if you have any dormant emotions, painful experiences from the past that you've overlooked and elements that you haven't processed, if you are suppressing anything, then this can become a painful situation with an obsessive and ruminative energy. Yet, through the pain you will certainly grow. Over time, you will find yourself wanting to dump your trauma on them.
The 8th house is also the house of intense emotions such as deep hatred, but in that space there also exists deep love and devotion. Loyalty is a big theme in this house. However, being around this person can be a mirror in which you see your pain and you are forced to tend to these internal scars. This kind of synastry permanently alters you. You are not the same person as you were before you met them. The beauty of the synastry is the level of vulnerability you could reach with the other person. Yet it is terrifying because that means this person has the same power to hurt you at your most vulnerable.
This synastry is known for creating that hidden hush hush element where you have to hide this connection, and most times there is a forbidden aspect to the connection. I was in a situation like this where I couldn't tell anyone about this connection. There is a mutual obsession and both parties are very highly likely to stalk each other through social media, location tracking, etc. You just have an addiction to stalking each other to be frank. Emotions, obsession, they want to pry into your life, figure out everything about you, they want to know everything you are hiding. They might even have an idea of what you are feeling/hiding since this house is also telepathic. For example, if you left a journal at their house, they 100% would read it because they get so nosy about you haha. Or let's say you're working on your laptop they're gonna stand behind you and try to see what you're doing. It reminds me of the line from Wait a Minute! by WILLOW that says:
You left your diary at my house And I read those pages Do you really love me, baby?
lastly, Hey Boy by Kali Uchis and Omar Apollo
I wonder how you really feel about me I love those feelings that you bottle you should pour them on me Baby I can't believe you had to live a life without me Come here and show me how you feel I wanna see if it's real
Extra observations:
❤️
This tends to be a telepathic connection. You will feel them at all times. Whether you want to or not, you will feel their presence. If they are around, you will feel it. If they enter the room, you will feel it. Your heart will start beating really fast, nausea (just a bit hopefully??), hands will shake, you get into fight or flight mode basically. And when they leave, you will feel it the most because their presence is adjacent to a high. When they're gone, the high you get from them is gone too. If the relationship is sexual, they want to feel your core emotions they want to destroy your emotional walls and feel the most center parts of you.
There's a kind of sexual obsession that both parties get entangled into with each other. You'll have a desire to connect extremely deeply with them. There's this feeling of wanting to absorb all of them and give yourself to them in return. It's such a down bad feeling lol, like pure desperation and dedication. Like you need them or else you'll die. It's truly a situation where you'll always come back to each other. Now there are instances where this synastry can become negative such as situations of abuse or lack of trust where you definitely should cut them off, it may be gut wrenching and painful that is also one of the lessons of 8th house synastry; to have the courage to move on even though it is extremely hard to do so.
There's this idea of masochism associated with this synastry. Where both parties enjoy suffering at the hands of each other. There is an energy of pleasurable torture that could take place. There is suffering and torture but as long as the two members of the party do it together, they accept it. This is the toxic side of 8th house synastry.
There is extreme possessiveness involved with this synastry that one cannot avoid. You both will never want the other to be with anyone else. The energy of another person's property and ownership gets involved since the 8th house is opposite to and aspecting the 2nd house which is related to personal property and assets; but with the 8th house, it becomes a matter of the property of someone else. You get involved in each other's deep emotions and rich inner life. To put it simply, you feel like you own each other. There is also a blurring of boundaries in all areas of life. You don't know what ends or starts in relation to each other. The planet person might also desire to spoil you with their money and assets. They want to give you nice things.
You both WILL DEFINITELY CRYYYY over each other. Like this synastry is no joke. You can try to avoid it by holding it down in the depths of your soul but this is just something ur ass cannot avoid aajsshhahsjdjjdjdjdjfjfkkfkdjd. Most of the time, you both won't even know that you're crying over each other because you want to keep your feelings hidden to protect yourself. Anyways, the sexual tension you can cut with a knife. I think I will make a whole separate post about that. But yall this will kinda take over your whole life. The intense eye contact WILL happen as well, there's no way around it. You both are going to love staring in each other's eyes too, there's a rush that comes with the eye contact. You can only dream of touching each other. To put it simply 8th house synastry is all about deep care, deep devotion, deep intimacy, money, ownership, other people's resources, painful emotions, intense sexual energy, tears, binding love, eye contact, gifts, suffering, intense attachment, possession of each other, undying obsession, sacrifice for each other, and "I'll never forget you". Think MORTICIA AND GOMEZ OMGGG
