Venus in the 8th house

The 8th house covers shared money, intimacy, loss and deep change. Venus here loves privately and intensely. Attraction runs toward what is hidden or complicated, and casual affection satisfies less than a few people let all the way in. Money often arrives through a partner, an inheritance or a joint arrangement. The cost is jealousy that passes for devotion, and a tendency to bind a relationship with obligations instead of letting it rest on choice.
