Pluto in the 8th house, as your chart would show it

You are calm in the worst moments of other people’s lives, and you have learned that this is rare.

Your eighth house is the house of intimacy, shared resources, crisis and deep change, the house of Scorpio, the sign Pluto rules in modern astrology, and your Pluto, the planet of depth and transformation, was in it when you were born. Pluto is at home here.

Unafraid

Crisis, loss and the hidden side of life do not frighten you the way they frighten others. You have been through deep changes and know you can survive them.

You understand power, money and desire without needing them explained, and people bring you problems they will not take to anyone else. What frightens others interests you.

Intimacy and power

Your closeness is intense and complete. Shared money, inheritances and trust carry high stakes in your life, and you handle them with care.

Control

The risk is needing to control what you share, or holding on to grudges and secrets too long.

Let go of one old secret, even if only in a letter you never send.

The guide through the dark

When the people you love face their hardest times, they want you beside them, and you stay.
