Usual effects of Venus in 8th House
Venus in the 8th house brings a suddenness to your life. It indicates union or marriage and specifically reveals the traits and nature of your in-laws. With this position, you become a secretive lover. While you may meet someone at a social gathering and maintain a warm relationship, you hesitate to reveal it to society. You prefer to keep the affair a secret.
The 8th house, which represents secrecy, hidden thoughts, and beliefs, means you will hold onto your secrets. This secretive nature extends to your assets and personal life. You neither like nor feel comfortable revealing too much to the world.
Your spouse will be committed to you but will not easily forgive any mistakes. However, they will take extra care to understand your likes and dislikes. They will also control your assets and take an interest in your finances. Your joint assets will flourish after marriage.
You will have an interest in occult sciences and possess healing powers. However, you prefer not to declare this to the world. If Venus is well placed, you will become a ‘white healer’ who promotes harmony and peace. But if not, you may develop an interest in black magic and tantrism.
If you go against social norms and engage in multiple affairs, you risk diminishing the power of Venus. Venus represents pure love and romance. Exploiting this energy through extramarital or illegal relationships will create repercussions in your life. Your speech may become blunt and rude, which will not be liked by people.
An 8th house Venus gives you the peculiar trait of blaming your spouse or life partner for the very same things that you do. It may be due to deep psychological insight into your own behavior that triggers these usually untrue allegations.
