Why are we so afraid of the 8th house?

I've been looking at the current transits, and it’s always fascinating to see how we react to the heavy stuff. Right now, with the Sun and Jupiter hanging out in Pushya, there's a strong focus on nurturing and protection. But it gets me thinking about the houses we avoid talking about.

Why do we treat the 8th house like it’s a death sentence?

We love to talk about the 1st or the 10th because they feel safe and public. But when it comes to the deep, messy transformations of the 8th, everyone suddenly gets quiet. It’s not just about crisis or loss. It’s where we find the strength we didn't know we had.

I’m curious—do you think our fear of this house keeps us from actually healing, or is it just a natural survival instinct?

We’re quick to blame transits for our stress, but maybe we’re just scared of the cleanup. Let’s talk about it. How do you handle the 8th house in your own chart? Do you lean into the change, or do you hide until the transit passes?
