Cancer on the Cusp of the 8th House

The sign Cancer rides on the cusp of the eighth house denoting an emotional interest in many mysteries of life on a very basic level. You have a very introspective interest in the profound issues of life and death. In many ways, it may be difficult for you to ask for anything that you need of an emotional nature. Thus, you rarely expose emotional needs, withdrawing instead. There may be two distinct sides to your personality; one happily extroverted and the other brooding and reflective. When the latter side of the nature takes over, you tend to draw back. You cease to be the go-getter that usually marks your style.

Money making becomes a game to be enjoyed. In maturity, you have a solid sense of self-worth and a knowledge of how to get what you want out of people and out of life in general. As generous as you can be, you insist on controlling the purse strings of the joint or business finances. This position usually promises living to a ripe old age.
 

Virgo on the Cusp of the 8th House

With Virgo influencing affairs of the eighth house, you may become more concerned and critical in the conduct of joint financial affairs.

You can succeed in occupations requiring close attention to detail and investigative skills, such as chemist, psychologist, or detective. This sign suggests a restrained or constrained sex life.
 

Libra on the Cusp of the 8th House

The influence of Libra in the eighth house denotes financial gain through marriage and partnerships. It also shows that you can get just about everything you really want with a diplomatic approach. Often the balance obtained in partnerships produces an equilibrium otherwise missing in your nature. Much of your potential for success depends on the support of others. You have a large capacity for love at the communal level.
 

Scorpio on the Cusp of the 8th House

The Scorpio influence in the eighth house suggests secrets regarding joint finances and possibly trouble with legacies. The approach to love-making is more sensual than sentimental, and deeper feelings in this regard are kept to yourself. You have a real understanding of human nature. You expend little pretense or effort to play the games people devise to make their actions nobler than they really are. As this house relates to needs gratification, Scorpio on the cusp shows an individual whose needs are powerful and aggressively sought.
 

Sagittarius on the Cusp of the 8th House

The influence of Sagittarius in the eighth house suggests a natural flare for business and good fortune when it comes to money. You may have the good fortune to benefit from large-scale enterprises that grow and prosper.

You take on the responsibility of handling other people's money and do so with serious concern.
 

Aquarius on the Cusp of the 8th House

The Aquarius influence on the eighth house denotes one who is independent and original in ideas regarding life's mysteries and universal laws. You have a surprisingly strong interest in the spiritual side of life. You are likely to have very unorthodox views on sex, birth control and abortion, normally being surprisingly liberal in this regard. You understand human needs well, and have a modern and enlightened ability to express yourself in this regard.
 

Pisces on the Cusp of the 8th House

The Pisces influence on the eighth house denotes a strong intuition and sometimes even psychic inclinations. There is worry and concern over joint financial affairs, even when there is no real reason for such concern. Personal desires may have to be renounced. There is likely to be confusion or disappointment concerning legacies and you may be deprived of what you assumed was to be yours. The nature of Pisces is compassion, and in a material sense, you are likely to be called on to meet obligations and responsibilities to satisfy your inner needs.
