Pluto in the 8th house

From Astrology In Depth

Pluto is strong in the 8th house since it is the natural planetary ruler of this house. The 8th house is the house of life changing experiences. This house rules over death, birth, transformation and merging resources including joint assets, joint debts, inheritances, taxes and sexual union. When Pluto is positioned in the 8th house, it indicates intense transformation of the soul through the experiences over which this house rules. There may be power struggles over money or sex, with one's partner. One's financial fortune may be closely tied to the partner, for better or for worse. People with this placement may have problems with people in authority within financial institutions or may be attracted to very deep and emotionally intense experiences in general. People with this placement are often interested in occult subjects.

This position often confronts one with the base element within/without.
