8th house stellium?

I don't have any planets in water signs but I THINK I have an 8th house stellium in Libra. My sun, moon, Mercury, Chiron, and lunar node are all inclusive. I read that you pick up a lot of the qualities of Scorpio but I didn't know how much influence it actually had.

I've found people with a lot in the 8th house like you might have, or at least sun or moon, to be Scorpionic even if there isn't any Scorpio in their chart.

Do you relate to Scorpio traits?

I'm a Scorpio but my sun is in the 7th house, and so are my Mercury and Neptune, and I relate to Libra traits along with Scorpio and can come across as Libra-like to people at times.

So we're almost the same?! I'm good at pissing people off but I also want to be liked by everyone. I think externally I'm more like a Scorpio and my Aquarius rising. It seems like internally I'm much more like a libra and my virgo venus. I don't know if you can relate to any of that but that's what it's like for me.

I too have stellium in 8th in Libra: sun, mercury, saturn and pluto.. I dont feel like a scorpio at all.. More like my aqua rising 🙂)

Yes, we're kind of the reverse of each other it seems with Scorpio and Libra. I'd say similarly about how I might seem externally (Libra and Taurus - Taurus is my rising sign) vs what I'm like internally, to others. I also am Virgo-like thanks to having several planets in my 6th house. I think the more planets, etc in a house, the more the qualities of that house are an influence in the person.

That's crazy! I dress like an aquarius rising most of the time. super casual..tshirts and all! We're alike!

Asteroids and nodes don't usually count towards stelliums. 🙂

True, that's what I understand too, and some astrologers say 3 planets and/or luminaries isn't a stellium, only 4 or more.

I imagine having both sun and moon in a house could be just as strong, if not stronger, than many stelliums, if there is a conjunction.

I've never known whether a true stellium is needed or not to magnify the house influence. I have 5 planets in the 6th house, but they span 3 signs.

I think there's a lot of other ways a house can exert power, maybe not quite as concentrated as a stellium, that can still be felt pretty significantly.

From what little I've investigated, a stellium in a sign is 3 planets or more, and in a house it's 4 planets or more.

I have sun, moon, jupiter and also north node in aries, all in the 8th house. Someone said that it makes me intensly reckless...

I kind of feel the scorpio influence in my intensity...but maybe it comes from my aries self

I think that must be true about the power of the houses too, from what I've seen.

Okay, interesting about the two versions of stelliums and how that differs. I have 2 stelliums, then, based on that:

1. I have 3 things in Scorpio, conjunct by degree, but my Scorpio sun escaped into the 7th house, away from my Scorpio Venus and Jupiter in 6th house.

2. 5 planets in 6th

Definitely I think both the 6th and 7th house influences are strong in how my life has unfolded thus far.
