Why is Saturn in the 8th house a difficult position?
May not be apt to associate the term ‘difficult’ with a planet in the eighth, including Saturn because the relative difficulty will become easier to handle with experience and support from people around - hence it’s advised not to draw conclusions from a single planetary placement.Now, let me answer your question based on my observations and experience.Saturn’s ‘limiting’ and ‘delayed’ results will certainly manifest in some important areas in life including inheritance, career growth (not income), bliss from family one is born into, marital life, and children.I’ve observed inheritances coming to people with this placement at a very later stage in life, often after a long period of uncertainty or fear of others whiling it away.Career growth may be too late and usually comes after a lot of hard work, and many a time not relatively at par with one’s efforts - or at least perceived that way.One may want to be attached to the family one’s born into, but at times the family members (not spouse and children) may just behave in an exploitative manner.In some cases, the father might have suffered a huge financial loss in the past due to relatives or close friends.Children may be physically weak and ailing, and some times may have defective function of organs — but again subject to other planetary placements in both the native’s and spouse’s charts. Nevertheless, the ‘happiness’ from children and spouse will be ‘limited’.Some of the above results may alter depending upon other modifications in the chart.Despite all these, Saturn would give financial discipline from early-age experiences in life. People with this placement may be very careful and much planned regarding their expenses. Long-term investments from early age would fetch them many gains eventually. The natives may grow to be extra-cautious not believing anyone blindly and ensuring to double-check or triple-check anything — which may at times cause trust issues with close associates.
Is Sigmund Freud's Scorpio moon the reason he thought everything had something to do with sex?
You got that wrong. He is a Scorpio RISING with a Gemini moon ->http://www.astrotheme.fr/en/portraits/ss... His moon is in the 8th house so he was interested in controversial things such as the human behavior. His Taurus Pluto is in the 7th house( still is by conjunct and by degrees- the effect is stronger), so there is strong emotional feelings within him. He notices emotional behavior into others. His Mercury falls in the 7th house- so he loves to exchange ideals. His Venus falls in the 6th- and that makes him amorous- he is in love with being in love and will mix that in the workplace. He had a stellium in the 7th house. So you see a theme in his chart about him interested in personal feelings, interactions, and etc. He also had a Gemini Ceres- so he felt nurtured through communications -BUT ALSO- his Ceres falls in the 8th house- so he also feels nurtured through sex. Why am I getting thumbs down for being helpful? I never thumbs down people. I put this in MY OWN WORDS with time and effort. I was trying my best to help.

What does an empty eighth house in your horoscope mean?
Having an “empty house” is no big deal. Unless you include a few asteroids, you will only have 10 placements with the Sun and Moon. There are 12 Houses, so having a few “empty” houses is the norm.You should also know that your 8th House is not really empty. Here is an example: let’s say that the sign of your 8th House is Cancer.Now Cancer is “ruled” by the Moon. Thus, the Ruler of your 8th is still the Moon. Think of the ruler like the landlord of an apartment (your 8th House). The landlord may not live in that apartment, but he sure as hell has a lot to say as to what happens in that House.Now, let’s go a little deeper. Let’s say that your natal Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius. Thus, the Ruler of your Moon would be Jupiter. Now, let’s say that Jupiter is in Sagittarius, which means it is in its own sign. Thus, the “buck stops here”. In a way, your could say that Jupiter is the ultimate Landlord because it is the final dispositor (Landlord). By tracing dispositors in your chart, plot lines in the story of your life will begin to open up to you.One more thing: if you have a planet in the 7th House that is only 3 degrees from the cusp of the 8th House, it may function more as an 8th House planet. Something for you to think about!!!
