People in this house find it easy to get loans and grants, but their weakness shows when it is time to pay back. This house is ruled by the planet Pluto, and the zodiac sign Scorpio. The 8th house is largely spiritual, so although sex is pleasurable, in this house sex is treated as a spiritual exercise between two individuals and even the climax is seen as a little death.
