Planet in house
Sun in the 8th house
Purpose gathers where life is not polite: intimacy, joint resources, the underworld of a story.
How this house placement reads
The Sun in the eighth house warms trust, sex, debt, grief, and the places two lives overlap. You may feel most yourself in a room where pretending would be an insult. Identity is remade through merger and through honest endings. The tension is making intensity the only proof of being alive, or hiding the self in someone else's power. Growth is sharing the deep without disappearing. Your vitality is a forge; it is personal, not only dramatic.
House, sign, and birth time
Planets describe functions; houses describe life areas. Here, sun expresses itself through shared resources, intimacy, loss, trust, and transformation. The sign on the house and the aspects to Sun still matter. A transit of Sun through this house is temporary weather; the natal placement is climate.
In relationships this can shape vulnerability, merging, and shared power. In practical life the 8th house concerns joint finances, research, and consequential change. Sun needs work to feel personally meaningful.
