The Eighth House is ruled by the Sign Scorpio and the Planets Mars and Pluto¹. The Eighth House is commonly referred to as the House of Sex. This House delves² into relationships -- interactions with another and how certain aspects of those interactions can take on a more communal³ nature. It speaks to what our relationships will bring us and how we can get the most out of them.

黄道十二宫中的第八宫由天蝎座掌管，守护星是火星和冥王星。一般将这一宫称为“性别”宫。天蝎宫揭示了人与人之间的互动关系，还反映了这些关系将以怎么的方式呈现。

The Eighth House is an equal-opportunity House, placing sex, death and rebirth on the same level playing field and acknowledging the viability⁴ and importance of all three. We will all experience death and rebirth as part of our lives: failed relationships leading to new ones, career changes, a new hairstyle. We are regenerated⁵ and reborn with each new phase and should welcome them.

同时，第八宫也是“再生能力”的象征，或从他人所获得的东西（无论有形或无形的），显示了一个人的遗产、保险、信托、赋税和嫁妆等。其代表的是与众人有关而累积的财富，同时有代表了与死亡有关的事务。

In keeping with the transforming nature of this House, rituals are highlighted. Every group has its own way of peering in and looking deep into the soul and the past, if only to get a sense of what we truly are. What quality will our rituals take on? Exalted⁶ states or metamorphoses? What secrets do we keep and why? How we manage our interactions, relationships and rituals is important to the Eighth House -- will we be honest, effective and responsible? Our legacies⁷ are key to this House: how we conduct ourselves now, and how that will play out for all time.

由于天蝎座的守护星是冥王星，因此第八宫也代表一个人对死亡、神秘事物的态度。例如：你会不会用团体之名而行贪污之实？你有没有投资运？对于神秘的生死学有无兴趣，都是第八宫所主导。
