Lilith in the 8th house is one of the most intense and misunderstood placements in astrology. With this position, you’ve got a darkly magnetic personality that draws people in whether you try to or not. You give off mysterious, even mystical vibes that make people intensely curious about you.
Lilith In Astrology
Lilith is a hypothetical Dark Moon or second Moon, that is said to influence human behavior and destiny. Lilith represents the shadow self, feminine power, and repressed instincts. Having strong Lilith placements in your birth chart can indicate themes of independence, rebellion, and sexuality.
The 8th House
The 8th house deals with intense things in our charts. It represents how we get close to others through sharing the deep aspects – intimacy, vulnerabilities, joint resources. That’s why Lilith there can really amplify things.
With Lilith in the 8th, you really crave a meaningful connection where you feel totally seen and accepted. But it might also attract people who like to stir things up emotionally or fight for control. The 8th also covers shared money – inheritance and debts. And Lilith there could highlight struggles over who has the power of the purse strings. Or you might get really hung up on accumulating wealth.
With Black Lilith in the eight house, be careful not to get in over your head financially or depend too heavily on others. And know that intimate relationships with Lilith in the 8th are likely to bring up deep feelings. But if you can handle the intensity, you have the potential for real closeness.
Lilith In Taurus In The 8th House
With Lilith in Taurus in the 8th house, you are an emotionally complex and private person. You tend to keep your deeper feelings hidden from others, only sharing them with those closest to you. There is an intensity to your emotions that can be overwhelming at times. You may struggle with feelings of jealousy, obsession, or loss of control in intimate relationships.
Financial Security
You work hard to feel stable and secure. But sharing money with a partner can cause problems sometimes. You want to feel in charge of your own cash and belongings.
You might get a bit possessive over shared bank accounts or family money. There’s also a chance you wouldn’t tell your loved ones your true income or savings. It’s possible you’d take on lots of debt just to buy shiny or comfortable things (jewelry, cars, clothing, food) and live it up, and that could lead to financial issues down the road.
Transforming Self Through Love
With Lilith being in Taurus in the eighth house, relationships really shape who you become as a person. Getting close to others gives you insight into yourself, both the good and not so good. But people are drawn to you that really make you deal with the parts of you that aren’t so easy.
It’s not always fun looking at the stuff you’d rather avoid. But going through that gives you a stronger idea of who you are. Even if it’s tough, facing what’s really there will help you grow in your adulthood.
Reclaim Your Power
A big part of your journey is about taking back the power you may have given away to others before. You’re learning to set better boundaries and speak up for yourself without just doing whatever other people want. It’s about realizing your own self-worth and being the one in charge of your life.
When you’re feeling exhausted or just heartbroken, nice things like fancy items or good food are usually what make you feel better. But you have to remember not to go overboard with it. You have to learn to be tough like a bull – to accept what happened, get your strength back, and start fresh. And if something is bothering you, get it off your chest. Don’t hold it in, otherwise you’re going to blow up.
My Advice
Lilith in your 8th house in Taurus can be an intense but potentially empowering placement. Don’t be afraid to fully embrace your sensuality, sexuality and wanting nice material things. But most importantly, use your common sense. Money is cool but it isn’t everything. There are way more meaningful things in life that can give you that true feeling of stability and inner peace.
