Leo's and Dads

My father was a HUGE source of my pride when I was little which is what caused so much damage to my ego when I was younger..... I never really say it, but my relationship with my father is a HUGE part of why I am the way I am today for better and worse....is it because I am a SIDEREAL LEO— Also how about you other lions and lionesses— it the relationship with your father as important to you as it is to me—

I'm the spittin' image of my father, except I look a little more 'finished'....he looks rough, but it's because he's gettin' older too....old man lol...I alway poke fun at him....but I love the man crazy.....he just doesn't see it....I do wish we we're closer but alas....the pride and the past....*sighs*....I mean I'm not THAT broken up, but I thought I'd take the time to really look in on my fathers contributions to my character, and well.....thank him....but I'd never FUCKIN EVER say it to his face because the only time he loves you is when you're stroking his ego....He's so fuckin' fake it makes me wanna kick his ass sometimes.....I gotta be up front with what I feel so, I love him and hate him....

lol well as long as it works for you chocolate....You dad sounds EXACTLY like mine.....sure were not bro and sis— lol 🙂

Maybe it's the moon in cancer, but I just don't see the point of being that 'nakedly forward' with people ESPECIALLY if I've just met them: I need some element of mystery about me.....I guess I'm more the Plutonian type of Scorp (my sun's in the 8th house)...my dad is the Martian....loud, linear, and straightforward.....lol

I hear ya Christina....me and my pop are sorta like that, but I feel more like I'm 'bound' to him more than bonded with him.....I feel resentful to him because his lack of sincerity, and the 'duty' that goes with loving him......I can't, CANNOT love someone because of duty alone....my heart has GOT to be in it....

I read what it meant to have my sun in the 8th house....and it doesn't sound good....


The Sun in the 8th House indicates that consciousness is opening up to compassion, and the agents in the process are emotional suffering and refinement of desire. This may be a relatively advanced stage of development because people with the Sun in the 8th House do have the feel of ?old souls'. There is a gravity and maturity conferred by this placement, which is evident even in very young children.

The suffering experienced by 8th House people, is always at the hands of people with whom they have a close personal relationship, and although there may be physical cruelty also, it is at the emotional level that the pain is registered. The pain is nearly always that of rejection and the knowledge that the intensity of their feelings is neither understood nor valued.

People with this placement of the Sun tend to experience the transforming energy of Pluto, the ruling planet of this house, as a force used by others against them. They do not readily use it themselves even in retaliation. People born with the Sun in the 8th House are usually born to parents unable to or unwilling to recognise the child's needs. Usually they have problems of their own and expect the child to be supportive and understanding.

As the result of the early experience of having the emotional needs ignored the 8th House person grows up expecting little of the partners around whom he is prepared to build his life. In consequence his relationships are characterised by inequality. Whether it is emotional support, money or forgiveness - more than one 8th House person has discovered that he has married a person engaged in criminal activities - it is the person with the Sun in H8 doing the giving. The lack of reciprocity tends to be accepted without recrimination, and he will not easily give up on a relationship. People with the Sun in H8 demonstrate a great acceptance of things as they are and this becomes the source of the peace of mind they are capable of attaining in their later years. This acceptance may also account for their characteristic willingness to work with people whom

.....society has condemned or rejected. A person with the Sun in the 8th House does not readily judge; he is more likely to respond to the humanness of the offender.

Eighth House people are found in the prison service, and as social workers, nurses and counselors. In helping others they are often able to make sense of and redeem their suffering.

This placement of the Sun tends to confer an interest in the astral plane and in channeling in particular.
