Pluto in the 8th House

Pluto naturally governs the 8th House, so this placement is in its own territory. Deep intimacy, shared finances, sexuality, death, and transformation are central to your life. You go into the depths almost by default. Shallow does not interest you, and the people you keep close are people who can also handle real depth. Sexual energy is strong and serious. The intimacy you build through sexuality tends to be one of the most transformative forces in your life when it has a real partner. Casual sexual experience leaves you cold relatively quickly; deep sexual intimacy with someone you trust can produce experiences that mark you for years. Shared resources — joint finances, inheritance, debt, investment — tend to be a recurring theme. You may handle other people's money professionally, marry into significant resources, manage estates, or simply deal with complicated financial entanglements throughout life. The placement is unusually capable in this territory when respected as the serious work it is.
