Pluto in the Eighth House: Power, Resources, and the Compulsion to Merge

Pluto in the eighth house is, in one sense, coming home. Pluto is considered the higher octave of Scorpio, the eighth sign, which means its essential nature — absorption, transformation, death and rebirth, the psychic complexes of the soul, the obliteration of ego-programs that prevent genuine spiritual perception — is most naturally aligned with the eighth house's terrain. The working title for this placement — lust for power — points directly at the shadow expression of what is, at its highest, a profound capacity for transformative power wielded in service of genuine group evolution.
