𝔎𝔞𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔞

Imagine a live wire, you know you shouldn't touch it, you shouldn't go near, it's dangerous. But somehow here in this case, you cannot resist. You are pulled towards it like it's a magnetar, once in, you're never going out. It's true that if you encounter this with someone without stable placements, you can never ever forget them. You could leave earth and still be thinking about them, or atleast a part of them stays with you.

You are at a public setting and you feel it, the shift in the air, it will always be there when the other person is around you but the first time oof, it would be through the roof! You become sensitive, so so sensitive, you have goosebumps, YOU FEEL THE HEAT. You feel as if you are a prey to a hunger so intense, it could swallow you as a whole. You look around and you notice those predatory eyes, and there's a short circuit. You freeze, you shut down, you don't even know what to do, you just stand there. Basking in the hunger, the admiration, the desire, the OBSESSION.

The theme here would be heat of all intensities, hypersensitivity, acuity of all the senses especially the tactile, triggering the emotions, being too much in the head, not letting go. FEAR, ANGER, JEALOUSY AND POSSESSIVENESS.

Both the persons here are same yet so different in terms of power. These roles can shift, depending on the dynamic of the relationship. The psyche would be entangled to a level where it would be in sync and when this happens, the roles would reverse. However I would keep the perspective seperate so it is clear.

MARS

It is a symbol of passion, aggression, primal instincts, anger, conquest, drive and assertion. It represents our limbic system especially amygdala which is our instinctual brain. It is responsible for the utmost survival, primal passion and instinctual urges. It is beyond your control. It is responsible for the acuity of your senses and brings awareness of your surroundings so as to bring suitable responses such as assertion or fight or flight. It bypasses logic. If overactive, would bring intense anger and irrational fear.

8TH HOUSE

It represents whatever that is hidden and should be hidden for your own sanity. It is a house of private matters, the lesser people involved here the better. Death, rebirth and transformation all are all its facets along with money and taxes. Intimacy is the ultimate one. Because the attraction here is different, you come close on a level that is psychic so leaving the person is not easy. If done, you would never see it the same way again.

MARS PERSON

A normal morning, a gathering, pleasant weather, a cool breeze but why am I suddenly feeling this heat, why am I burning? And then suddenly you see the person..... Your eyes are fixed, you can't take them away, the background is a blur, the voices are distant, mouth is dry and every nerve in your body is active and bringing in the sensation. You are overwhelmed with this unvarnished urge to conquer what you have in front of you.

You can't think of something else. You WANT that person, now! In your arms, snuggled up while you just bask in her scent. This scenario is a like a drug you would kill for! You are thinking of her hair, how they'd feel in your hands, her skin so soft and touchable, her lips so delish and her body would be a near death of you. It feels like a need to make yourself known to her, it's like you should be the only person she should know. Talk about territory!

You try to get a hold of yourself, but can't you just stare as if she would vanish if you don't. You want to know exactly where she is in the spatial arrangement around you. Then she comes closer to you, bit by bit, and you feel you can't breathe. The closer she gets, the more your nerves are going to be sensitive. The nearer she stands to you, the more aroused you would be and it would take every ounce of self control to not touch her. What you like is a barely a distance. A distance where movement would mean touching and this thought tortures you.

Since it's first meeting, the other person won't be so touchy and this would kill you. The other person seems pretty normal. So you try to get a grip. You try to distract yourself for the time being. You do but once you are alone, it's the only thing in your mind. Second time, you see them and you are spiralling. Same thing, ou would want to touch, to bite. You can't resist the feeling of her skin. So you might create a situation where it happens and if it does, you would realise it's the most comforting thing ever like it was made for you. It's like a shelter we need when we are distressed.

Now mars is being very assertive and physical here. The 8th house person may be scared or intimidated and may not respond well. The mars person won't take it well. He would instantly jump to rejection and this is what he hates here. Since the attraction is so primal, there won't be reasoning here, the emotions would be unfiltered. Mars feels as if he is betrayed by the person he wanted the most, it's like the feeling wasn't reciprocated. If the 8th house person is shy or reserved, the mars may develop resentment and anger despite the desire and attraction.

And if he sees the person with others being normal, it would create a cycle if why not him, what did he do wrong, why didn't the person choose me! I'm the one for her. The jealousy and possessiveness over time would increase. The person may try to avoid them completely but this feeling would never go away. Mars is always at front, so would the person be. Their priority, they would be so protective of the 8th house person, even if they are officially not theirs. If the person never gets the chance to be theirs, they would always be in their mind. They will always look for the person in every being they come across. To live that feeling again!

If the person gets close to them, accepts them, the feeling would be like no other. Mars would be on cloud nine. That warmth would keep them alive in their minds, won't ever be leaving that easily if the person is influenced by Scorpio/8th house dominance. Mars would try to be intimate as soon as possible but the circumstances would delay and tension would build up. If would be released through sex, any emotion would be let out through that way. It would be soul-imprinting, life-changing, wanting to stay in each other's arms forever. Some amount of physical touch always needed, for the mars on the head. Just their fingers in their hair, they might evaporate.

Now talking about the psychological aspects, the 8th house person is a mystery to them. They can't seem to understand them fully and hence would be fuelling their drive to pursue and unravel them. They want to enter their psyche, know everything about them, their fears, their happy moments, their guilty pleasures, every single thing. They want to bring it out. They want the 8th house person to express everything to them. Mars wants to be the refuge because that person is theirs. The talks between them would never be superficial, always deep and meaningful.

You flow through my vessels and they are ready to burst!

HOUSE PERSON

A gathering on a cozy morning, you are enjoying with your friends. Then suddenly you feel it. The shift in air, as if someone around you is aware of your presence. That someone is STARING at you. You try to ignore it first. But it just keeps nagging your brain. You try to scan your environment and then you notice those eyes! They just keep staring at you, despite the fact that you noticed. You try to brush it off. Distracting yourself. You look up again, it's like you are pulled to. The same dark eyes. You find it odd and attractive at the same time. What am I even thinking? Then suddenly you are pulled away by your friends.

You go home but still can't get their eyes off your mind. What is it about them that kind of scares you. The intensity probably because no one has ever looked at you with such passion. It feels so heavy. You go like woah, that was too much. But this feeling is registered by your brain and now it craves it. You are like intimidated but intrigued. The rest of the day goes like this. The next day at college and you run into them in class, a new admission. Walking past them, a deliberate touch and you suddenly feel warm or atleast as if the environmental temperature just went up. You would think of it like nothing. But after some time you feel it. The softness it held, the assertiveness of it.

For the house person, everything is felt afterwards, not instantly. You register everything on a psychological basis, it reaches to you after processing. This means that everything will affect you very deeply and the emotional impact is going to be too much. The things that you let go in case of others, here it won't be the same. You would be literally overthinking about it. Even a slight change in their behaviour, you would notice it. They would trigger you, intentionally or not. But there would be a time where you would be a mess if you let your emotions get to you.

You need to be emotionally detached, easier said than done. Because at one point you would them to reciprocate just like how they reciprocate but you both are functioning on different levels. You would want the emotions first, the care, looking out for you, going slow and being in peace with what you want. If these expectations are not fulfilled, you would get hurt. But you won't stay such for long, you would try to distance but their energy is very strong and physical, your resistance would break and it's not only that, someone who has access to you on a deeper level, you can't walk from them that easily.

Your power would work when you get a grip, you understand the dynamic, you just don't give in, you be in your space, doing what you love and just not thinking about them. You would be thinking about them 24/7. Over time feelings from your side might increase and if somehow you get intimate, you would be more obsessed than they would be. At this point, you are all physically, emotionally enamored with them.

If you get together, they might have a control on your life, they may not like you sharing your time and space with others. They may even have a say in your financial matters. Finance here would be a big topic. And they would want to know everything about you. They can't ever bear the answer like when you say you don't know. They would even be wanting your location in extreme cases.

If things don't workout, you won't ever be the same. You can never be the old you, it might be a karmic relationship hence it comes for the lessons. You may move cities, start a new life but you can't escape from that impact. One trigger and everything would be fresh as new in your mind.

To work this out, you both need to be open with each other, never let your thoughts get to you too much. Talk with the other person about what's bothering, and most importantly as the 8th house person, bs slightly detached or atleast appear to be. This feeling is very beautiful, no other aspect is so magnetic, such intensity is not felt with everyone, that's why it is so memorable. This relationship has the depth that diving into it would be life-changing. It's in your hands how you make it in your favour.

It sizzles but it might burn!

I have depicted both positive and negative aspects of this placement. You need stability for it to take an actual form. Saturn, Moon and Venus aspects.
