The North Node in Taurus in the 8th house: From Anxiety and Doubt towards deep Grounding and Trust
The North Node or Rahu in Taurus in the 8th house leads the path of destiny towards manifestation of material values and experiences, transformation on a deep level and patiently investigating the mysteries of life. This placement guides our soul away from anxiety about security and an intense focus on the self and invites it to delve into the greater magic that surrounds us.
The 8th House: The House of Transformation through Trust and Wealth
The 8th house in astrology represents transformation, true intimacy, the occult,shared resources, our subconscious limitations and emotions as well as death and the magic of life. The general feel of this house is about letting go, receiving and opening up to others as well as dealing with our vulnerabilities. It is here that we find deep-seated fears and insecurities that come from other parts of our birth charts. The 8th house is the house of death and transformation, which can be described as letting go and letting die, as well as rising from the ashes and rebirth. In this house we transform our feelings through intimacy or the occult into something that elevates us onto the next level of consciousness. This is also the location in the birth chart where we connect to others deeply and allow ourselves to receive (from the “I” to “we”, also sex). The 8th house is linked to the zodiac sign Scorpio and the planet Pluto. Although Pluto is the Roman name that derived from the Greek God Hades, the word origin is Greek as well. “Plouton” in Greek means the wealth-giver of the rich one. As many resources, like e.g. Gold, Silver, Diamonds and oil are found underground; those wealth-giving resources were associated with Hades, and eventually led to the name Pluto.
Taurus: The stubborn Pleasure-seekers who know what They want
Taurus stands for the material side of our lives we experience with our five senses. It describes enjoyment, pleasure and indulgence, as well as luxury and sensual experiences. This zodiac sign also signifies our wants and needs in terms of material things as well as people and circumstances we want in our lives to feel comfortable. Taurus is stubborn and knows what it wants. The taurians usually are laid back, grounded and patient, as they are very connected to the worldly experience and have a feeling for the right time and the right place. Even though Taurians are also hard working and reliable, enjoying life is part of the purpose of a Taurus. Taurus is a fixed sign and linked to the planet Venus and the 2nd house.
North Node in the 8th House: Moving towards Transformation through Manifestation
Looking at a birth chart with the North Node placed in Taurus in the 8th house, we see a person who is striving to find what is hidden from plain sight, seeking deeper truth and deeper meaning. The 8th house is sometimes seen in a bad light. This is because death is also one of the topics of this house. However, we want to encourage you to learn to love your 8th house, as it is also the place of rebirth and transformation and hides a lot of treasures. And with Taurus as your 8th house these treasures can even be material treasures. People with their North Node in Taurus in the 8th house want to understand the world in all its dimensions to feel complete – and also to bring it’s magical wisdom to the world. With the North Node this becomes the destiny of a person, drawing them in even if they try to focus on other areas of their horoscope.
Taurus stands for value. It represents everything we value – from ourselves to our possessions and experiences. Therefore people with their North Node in Taurus have to learn to develop very strong and stable values. There is also a certain stubbornness and hardheadedness with this sign, which will show when it comes to matters of their values and people trying to convince them otherwise. The North Node in the 8th house deals with other people and other people’s resources. Having the sign of taurus in the mix indicates a person who has “valuables” of their own too. This can lead to the natives bring their values into partnerships and teach the others how to improve on their own value.
But the real challenge with the North Node in the 8th house is to learn to receive from others and trust (people and the process). If the house is well aspected by the constellation of the birth chart, these people can receive a lot from other people. They bring value, they seek value and they get value. This also is true for money, which they are very good with.
In their immediate environment people with this combination will act for the causes they value and fight for them rigorously and stubbornly. They might act like a medium for other people in this regard. The 8th house with Scorpio as the original ruler allows them to sense the transformations that need to happen. Taurus helps them bring those transformations to light, into the world and ground them in the material. With this combination there is a constant flow between the invisible and the material world.
The intuition of people with this combination is extraordinary. However, the North Node indicates that these natives have to learn to trust this intuition and bring into the world its manifestation.
The intuition itself can be seen as receiving. Therefore, opening up and receiving messages, intuitions and synchronicities is one of the highest manifestations of this combination.
These natives are also drawn to the occult. So tarot, astrology and other mediums to access hidden realms are something people with this constellation will be very interested in and actually should seek to access to progress in life. The North Node acts like a catalyser and helps to unlock all areas of your horoscope. So if you feel stuck, why not talk to one of your ancestors via a medium for advice?
The South Node in Scorpio in the 2nd House: Letting go of material Anxiety
The South Node in Scorpio in the 2nd house might pull them back to rely solely on themselves, their talents and opinions and also face them with their own self-worth issues.
Scorpio stands for deep emotions as well as our urges and needs. This sign is very passionate and has a lot of power naturally given to them. It is said that the Scorpio comes from the darkness and therefore is connected to everything that is hidden in the darkness of our souls. It can therefore be suspicious, anxious and jealous. Nevertheless, this sign also knows the light and is here to fight passionately for the raw truth and pure emotion. It holds the knowledge of the universe, our very existence and the field of strong emotions.
The 2nd house in astrology represents the value we associate with ourselves. This house gives room our possessions and all our personal resources. It’s the house that brings the value we give to ourselves into the material world. All the resources that you personally work for are accumulated here. Therefore, we also find the self-worth and self-esteem of a person here. The second house is linked to the zodiac sign of Taurus and the planet Venus. So in your case, the houses and signs are switched up, as you have Scorpio as your 2nd house.
Usually the South Node in the 2nd house shows that you have worked on developing yourself and your resources in past lives. Usually there is a strong sense of self-worth and self-confidence. These natives know what they bring to the table and have a strong foundation in themselves. We can see that these people often are very good with money and their personal resources. They know how to use their talents and accumulate resources through it.
However, with Scorpio in the 2nd house it is likely that a person with this placement cannot fully access all the self-worth they have worked for in past lives. Deep inside the strength of character and self-confidence will definitely be there, but as Scorpio rules the deep feelings but also traumas this is a hint to issues related to self-confidence and knowing one’s worth. As the South Node also rules the first half of life, there might be struggles with self-worth until a later age, usually until approximately 35.
The 8th/2nd House Axis: The Way towards real-life Magic and deep Transformation and Connection
One of the topics in the 8th house is rebirth and transformation. And with the North Node in the 8th house, it might well be that you see total transformations of the life or the person over their lifetime. This house challenges the natives with their fears of abandonment and intimacy. With the North Node here, you cannot escape from this, but must conquer your fears in this area.

Therefore, sex and touch might be a way to connect to something beyond life and access hidden areas in their body, mind and soul. With Taurus in the 8th house tantric sex will be a good way to enjoy, receive and quench your thirst for experiences out of this life.
The North Node is characterized by always wanting more and can thereby make a person with this placement confused and vulnerable. As the person is going towards the 8th house of transformation, this is a typical combination for multiple rebirths over the course of life. The ruling sign of the 8th house is Scorpio, which stands for deep feelings and strong orientation on purity and truth.
Depending on the aspects Taurus might bring some grounded energy here. However, Taurus also signifies that the person will strive forward with commitment and stubbornness.

- Agents of transformation in any way
- Financial advisor, Investment Banker
- Focus on house, garden and the good side of life, as the 8th house lets the native receive from others to take care of them (e.g. partner or family)
Due to the material nature of Taurus, there will be success in money and other resources through other people or from other people. However, as the North Node indicates what we have to learn in this life, there might be some hiccups on the way there.
In this life we are constantly and naturally drawn towards the North Node, however we might want to stay in our South Node, as our soul knows this area already. With a south node in this placement, we might see a person who is used to relying on themselves and their talents and resources. It is rather hard for them to rely on other people. The south node scorpio indicates that there is work to be done to come into your own power and potential. Even though your soul has already learned the lesson, with scorpio in the south node it is not free. So it might well be some events or people in their lives that trigger insecurities about themselves and their value.
This combination is very special, as the signs of the houses where the nodes are placed are switched. The 2nd house is naturally the house of taurus, whereas the 8th house is naturally in the sign of scorpio. With this destiny path, you will need to integrate the qualities of one house into the other. This switch makes the combination even more powerful.
Natives with this placements will find it hard to receive from others and therefore fall back into their old pattern of doing everything themselves, relying only on themselves. Maybe they have been hurt and therefore have trust issues. Still, following your North Node will lead you to really experiencing that life has much more to offer, when you are open. Looking into the stars, watch the synchronicities and believe in your intuition. Dive deep to understand and heal your soul and thereby you will see that your self-worth will also rise. Ultimately, it is about balancing the nodes, but to do that we must turn towards the north node and make some steps. Each time you will see that you feel better and more complete. Through the connection to the unseen realms, your partner and the universe you will feel how everything belongs together. Your aim with this placement is trust. Trust that you are held and you will receive – because it is your destiny.
