Venus in the Eighth House of the Relocation Chart

It is the personal planets in the relocation chart that reveal what will happen to the native in the first years after moving to a new place of residence. Venus is a symbol of good fortune in love and finances, and it also defines the native’s core values. When Venus enters the Eighth House, financial matters come to the forefront. The planet of “lesser fortune” also helps to soften the stress of relocation and allows the native to adapt quickly to changes.

However, if there are negative aspects, the chart holder should be careful to protect their reputation, as a sudden surge of sexuality and a desire to outshine everyone else could cause trouble. Under these influences, the native may even be tempted to act unethically just to dazzle and conquer others with their mere presence. The Achilles heel for the native is jealousy and an insatiable need to be wealthier than others.

Features of Venus Moving into the Eighth House in the Relocation Chart

People often feel anxious when they see a planet appear in the Eighth House of the relocation chart, as this activates a zone associated with crisis, stress, and even potentially life-threatening situations.

However, Venus in the relocation chart acts as a mitigating factor. It soothes tension and problems caused by the move, and, in the absence of severe affliction from other planets, Venus becomes a magnet for money.

It is also important to note from which natal House Venus moves into the relocated Eighth House, as its influence on the natal House does not disappear, but karmic tasks will now be worked through primarily via the relocation chart.

The House cusps can shift either clockwise or counterclockwise, so most often Venus moves into the Eighth House from the nearby Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, or Tenth Houses. The farther the native moves, the more varied the possible transitions.

When the planet of love moves from the Sixth natal House, it is usually associated with resolving practical matters in the new place: starting a business, working in tax administration or frequently dealing with tax authorities, employment involving other people’s money, or managing household needs such as buying furniture or renovating a home, which can be quite energy-intensive. It may also signal a successful resolution of health issues, such as a successful surgery or course of treatment.

A move from the Seventh natal House indicates marriage or the start of one’s own consulting practice, and promises victory over rivals or competitors. From the Ninth House, it suggests a lucrative foreign contract, business trips, work in an international company, or a diplomatic post.

The native’s outlook on life may also shift dramatically, with priorities and values changing, as the Eighth House transforms Venus. If Venus moves from the Tenth natal House, changes in career are likely. If the planet is strong and harmonious, these changes will be desired and pleasant, but negative aspects, on the contrary, bring many problems and obstacles. If Venus moves from the Sixth to the Eighth House, it is especially important to choose medical professionals carefully and, if possible, avoid plastic surgery—or at least schedule it for a day with harmonious transits.

Venus in the Eighth House of the Relocation Chart and Money

One of the levels of the Eighth House concerns other people’s money—global financial resources. The native gains access to financial flows, but there is also a need to harmonize the other areas of the House: taxes, investments, and joint capital. If the person had no experience in these matters before relocating, it is unlikely they will suddenly become wealthy without learning the ropes.

It is important to remember that planetary influences do not activate instantly upon arrival in a new place, so it is worthwhile to spend time learning how to manage and control finances. The native’s very profession may involve growth in this area.

This period is especially favorable for bank managers, brokers, accountants, entrepreneurs starting a new business in partnership.

Profits are also likely for psychotherapists, private investigators, surgeons, cosmetologists, dietitians, lawyers, diplomats, astrologers, and psychologists.

In some cases, this placement of Venus can symbolize the receipt of a large inheritance.

Venus in the Eighth House of the Relocation Chart and Love

In the new place of residence, there is a chance to meet a love that transforms one’s life, or to revive a relationship that had faded. Venus in the Eighth House of relocation is a true energetic injection of passion.

The native will notice increased sensuality, sexuality, a desire to attract, seduce, and enjoy the admiring glances of others. This is equally important for both men and women.

If Venus rules the Seventh House, old feelings and attraction to a spouse can be rekindled, or one may meet someone who touches both the heart and the body’s energy. In any case, romantic and passionate adventures are promised.

Negative Influence of Venus in the Eighth House of the Relocation Chart

There are a number of warning signs to be aware of when relocating. If Venus is conjunct Pluto, there is a chance for a complete revision of life values for the better, but negative aspects between them can bring real threats to the native’s safety, related to money or partnerships.

A conjunction with Saturn or Lilith—or especially squares and oppositions—warns of financial limitations and distortions in worldview, which can eventually lead to financial losses or even forced isolation if there is a connection with the Twelfth House.

At a lower level of development, there can be an obsession with financial growth, where money becomes the sole priority, to the detriment of relationships and health.  ✓
