actual events- there is a tragic heavy weight on your shoulders. Because you
are so intuitive to the needs of others, as a young person many (family
usually) relied on you for healing. When something hard happened in the
family or home- you were subjected to standing strong and surviving. As a
result, you have many emotions which you did not process or express. You
think you have to be strong, stoic- unlike other people. In a way you are
right- you are stronger than others people- you can feel so much more and
keep going. On the other hand, this is just your survival mode that won’t let
you deal with the difficult events.

You are probably quick on your feet in emergencies. At heart, you have a
great healing power to help others face who they are. People tell you their
secrets and you listen. You take it all in and learn from it. This is where the
intelligence you possess comes in- you learn by observing emotional
currents. This is true about all water moons in general, but a moon in the
8th house would utilize the skills of the sign it is in. For example, a Moon in
Gemini in the 8th house would be able to talk and communicate difficult
emotions after talking to many people about their problems. They may be a
bit of a copycat and a great actor.

Generally, people with the Moon in the 8th are very mature. On an inner
level, there is something heavy and serious about them. It is like they never
were just children- they always had worries and thoughts about life. They
are always searching for meaning and truth within the realm of the
8th house. You see the Moon has a lot to do with what we think- what is
on our mind. Here the mind creates an obsessive loop of thoughts about
fear. Because the thoughts are focused on very primal needs- survival,
safety, sex, food and love. The result is strong feelings that might feel like
anxiety, fear, depression and anger. If you take the layer of these feelings
down you will find that people here are always in search of bliss. They want
to experience perfect love, perfect harmony and unity. Because you need
this meaning and can’t always find it in life- there becomes a programmed
way of thinking that can be very anxiety inducing, hence the “bad”
