Planets in signs and houses
Mars in the 8th House
Tropical zodiac, Western astrology
Mars in the 8th house makes your vitality and desires deep and intense. You are resilient in a crisis, unafraid of what others avoid, and have a strong physical magnetism. Shared money or jointly held property may bring tension. Watch for control, resentment or power struggles. Turning this force into self-renewal, careful planning of shared money, or helping others through a crisis lets you be strong in a constructive way.
