Scorpio/8th House + Sexuality

I want to get into a stranger topic because I never really see anyone cover this;

Something I’ve noticed is that we tend to associate Scorpio being the most carnal and sex driven archetype out of all the signs which I don’t think is necessarily the true connection between Scorpio/8th House and sexuality. Don’t get me wrong, Scorpio and the 8th house do define sexual expression, but on a completely different level.

I think we need to break the idea that Scorpio is the most hyper-sexual out of all of archetypes and start making the real connections to placements that do symbolize or allude to hyper-sexuality. The amount of times I see posts implying  that a Mars in Scorpio is the “kinkiest” placement followed by posts of someone who identifies as asexual complaining that being born under the sign of Scorpio didn’t make them sex-crazed. Well, if you know a thing or two about astrology, you would know there is always more to the picture. 

Scorpio is not pleasure driven. Scorpio is driven by soul intimacy; just how close can two souls get? How close can you get to death without leaving your mortal self? Scorpio sees sexual expression as a conquerable death. The so-called “lust” that tempts Scorpio is just a yearn for transformation. Scorpio has rulership over sexuality because it understands intimacy on a far less carnal level; a soul level.  One must also keep in mind that the 8th house is one of the three soul houses, therefore it has no rulership over materialism (aside from accumulated materials). In fact, the 8th house does not actually have rulership over intercourse, although it does rule over intimacy, that intimacy being on a spiritual plane. It does not rule the act, but rather the expression.  You have to look to the 5th house for sensuous enjoyments, physical pleasure, promiscuity, and sexual intrigue.  Another thing to consider about the 8th house is that it comes after the house of partnership (7th) meaning the 8th house does not symbolize meaningless pleasure. It symbolizes connections one has with people that are profound and deep; soul bonded connections. Anything casual, meaningless, or “just for fun” is always put into the 5th. 

For your curiosity, here’s some notes on placements that effect one’s sexuality (feel free to send an ask on any of this because I’m not really going to elaborate too much on this post);

The 8th House;

-Sun in the 8th house can symbolize a deep connection through intimacy; like a profound awakening through being intimate with another soul.

-Moon in the 8th house can be similar to the Sun placement, but this is the perfect representation of someone who favours an emotional bond over sex. 

-Mercury in the 8th house verbally communicates about intimacy.

-Venus in the 8th house can be sensual, but lazy. Expects the deep connection to come to them rather than they go searching for it. 

-Mars in the 8th house symbolizes high sexual energy. It can also symbolize strife in that area (especially if afflicted); however that strife manifests could depend on a lot of things.

-Jupiter in the 8th house can symbolize great desire and exploration for intimacy. Easily could be labelled as one of those “high sex drive” placements, but the fantasies driven here are more about ‘soul’ intimacy, whether the individual consciously knows that or not. 

-Saturn in the 8th house will likely do the opposite of Jupiter. There can be fear of intimacy or difficulty understanding its importance. Attitude towards sex may need some improvement as Saturn teaches lessons in whatever house its placed in.

-Uranus in the 8th house can make an individual sexually impulsive. 

-Neptune in the 8th house makes for profound experiences in intimacy. Loses self in intimacy and fantasy.

-Pluto in the 8th house makes for the greatest appetite and desire for understanding and experiencing intimacy. Could symbolize obsession. 

The 5th House;

-The 5th house defines a person’s turn ons and carnal knowledge. 

-The sign in which the 5th house cusps, aspects to, and planets in the 5th house can give you some hints to someone’s turn ons. The sign and house Mars sits in as well as aspects to Mars can also give you hints to a person’s turn ons. 

-Mars, Jupiter, or Pluto can symbolize a higher sex drive whereas Saturn does the opposite (Especially if Neptune afflicts Saturn, there can be some confusion on the topic of sex). 

Hi 💙

First of all, thank you for offering your energy to... well... help with our questions. My initials are C.F.S.P. I have sun in Libra and Venus in Libra.

🙋 My question:

How will I recognize my FS?

Did you read the rules, honey? I need you to send me a reading first on any of the questions I've mentioned to get an exchange reading. Feel free to DM me if you have any doubts ✨

Hi there!! I wanna take part in your exchange reading!!

I choose the questions- how will you meet your fs and your first impressions of them!!💖

So here's your reading!!🍒💕

How will you meet them!!

Its like you have hoped to meet them for a long time. It's a wish upon a star. You will meet them when you are healing from your past addictions of some sort. Healing past patterns and cycles. They might be your friend or child hood friend too. They could be someone from your past. You have kind of manifested this person in your life. Do you have an Aquarius Venus or 7th house. Or Venus in air houses. It's that kind of vibes. You will have a string friendship with your fs and they will be like a best friend to you. You will meet them after creating some sort of balance in your life. You will meet them after getting out of some sort control or a controlling environment. Something that wasn't healthy and something that was addictive. That's when your future spouse will find its way to you. When you take a leap of faith or just start going with the flow in life while having faith in the universe too. Maybe somewhere near water.

🍒Your first impressions of them!!🍒

Again it feels like a childhood friend of yours!! This is so cute. And if not then, you will see them as charismatic, charismatic, childlike and bubbly. They seem as someone who is very satisfied with what they have in life. They are emotionally aware and also very nurturing. They is the more sensitive and soft side of earth element that they possess. A very feminine vibe to them. Like they are intune with their emotions and they have a lot of faith in life. They are some who loves to party and meet people. They jolly and happy vibes. They are very carefree and you will see them that way. Overall someone who is exited about life and someone you feel comfortable around. I feel like you already know them. Or they have been in your life for a very long time.

I hope this resonates with you!!💖

My Sun sign is Aquarius. And initials- Aashi 🌻, loves her phone, quiet, curly hair. Taurus Rising, Cancer Moon 🌙, loves talking to the moon, loves Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift and V.

Thankyou so much for this!! Have a great day!! bye!!💖

Hi Aashi ✨ I love your name and your energy, oml, you seem like a sweet person! And hey, I'm a huge fan of Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift too wohoo! Fun fact: I'm a Taurus sun myself 🥺

Thank you for the beautiful reading!

How will you meet your FS?

To start off, I see you being very emotionally wounded when your FS enters your life. I see you extremely burdened too. Something could be resurfacing at that time (for deep healing) and you could shutting the door on your emotions. Idk why but you seem very emotionally distant 😐 the way I see it. You would be extremely disinterested in love and romance, and all the "clichë" stuff but heyyyyy, the cliches are cliches for a reason :P You could be very focused on your career, not paying any attention to other areas of your life. I see you burning out though. You could lose contact with your friend's at this time and isolate yourself a little? I see you being kinda unhappy with your job/studies too. Idk why but I'm getting very resistant energy from you. A friend might drag you out for an outing, this could be anywhere. A cafe, a trek, a casual hangout idk, and you're gonna wanna dodge it but I see that you'll give in ultimately and join your friend??? (Is she a stubborn taurus ♉😂) This is where you could meet your FS! As far as the signs are concerned, I'm leaning more towards gemini and Aquarius. They could love to debate or could be extremely good at it? They could've won a lot of medals too 🏅 A smarty pants 👖

Your first impression of your FS

He'll be someone who is very intelligent oof, extremely hot and witty! Quick witted, great sense of humor, sarcastic asf, might have a comeback for everything! He's gonna charge forward very quickly, fr! He could walk upto you and strike a conversation, I see it being a mentally stimulating conversation. I'm getting very airy vibes. He could be an air sign fosho! He'll know how to keep a conversation going. Either one of you is a sapiosexual. His communication skills could turn you on 🥵I see you taking a step back and being like "OMG 👁️👄👁️" You won't see it coming at all! You're gonna feel like it was worth the "hangout" hahha. For some reason, i get that you're gonna notice this person but you'll turn your back to them? It's almost like they come off too strong (cocky perhaps) and you're like nawwwww, rejected 🤨 But you see a softer, more caring side of them later. They'll spoil you. They're gonna wanna treat you. Plan suprises for you etc. I also get that they're wealthy, side note. And the way they see you, they think you're extremely hardworking, ambitious, goal oriented but you have a lot on your plate. You overwork yourself and you bite more than you can chew. However, they don't fail to notice your beauty. They think you have a fragile frame. They notice your curves??? They wonder what holding you in their arms would feel like (18+ 😐😳). You are going ignore them at the first meeting (even though they continue to spark your interest/debate a lil and they think it's hawt) haha. I think I lost the track of your question here, sowwie haha. I see you finding him interesting, but at the same time being confused. "I like him but.... " so yeah, you're gonna have mixed feelings. Once you get to know him, you're gonna feel like you kinda 'judged a book by its cover' tho.

Thanks for participating! I'll drop the feedback in your asks 😃 I hope the reading resonates with you ✨🥺🥰

Feedback ~ you were right on when you said He might come off as cold and distant, that he has high authority,that I have many options,and yes, I do seem to pick the wrong person hoping it’s them.Thanks so much for the reading all of it resonated!🤍

I'm so happy to know that the reading resonated with you! Thank you for participating ⭐

Hi! This is my feedback from your reading. Also thank you very much 😊.

Okay so your reading kinda scared me tbh. Mostly because I actually liked someone with the same qualities that I didn’t want to like because of his straightforward personality, big ego, and the way he literally flirts with every girl. That is the reason why I have officially made it my mission to get rid of my feelings and it was very hard.

I actually have managed to convince myself that I don’t like him for good and recently I started crushing on someone else. Someone not as intense.

Another scary thing is that I might relocate to his workplace for good 👀 I might have gotten an offer…

Overall your reading does resonate a lot tho.

Good job 🙂

Hey!

Don't ever stay in a relationship that doesn't resonate with you. You are in charge of your life, boo. You don't owe anyone anything. When you spot the red 🚩 tie your shoes and run 🏃💨to the hills 🗻💕
