someone else’s north node in my 8th house?

True.

Here's an excerpt from the book listed below:

"When their North Node is in your 8th House, they are bringing you the gifts of: Soul Mate Relationships ---, . . . it's time for you to bring an increased awareness of the value and needs of others into your personality. You will likely feel that there is already a strong natural affinity between you because they are here to teach you about Soul Mate relationships--how they work and how to do them correctly. Soul Mate relationships, whether personal or business partnerships, occur when two people merge their energy and resources on a very profound level in order to reach a common goal. Combining with someone in this way is very empowering, and allows you to achieve much greater success than either of you could accomplish on your own. . .

This person will teach you about the advantages of partnership-- how to be supportive and combine your resources with another in a healthy way. They won't let you get away with old self-defeating behaviors you may have around relationships. They see past any unconscious blocks and will not acknowledge any barriers to joining with you--they just keep moving forward. they have a deep understanding of your psychology, and trust develops as you sense the innate feelings of forgiveness and empathy between you. This allows you to be yourself and still experience the benefits of an emotionally and financially interdependent relationship. When this is a union between mates, the sexual aspect is often blessed with a depth of emotion that makes the relationship a source of well-being on all levels. They are bringing you the gift of understanding that sex can be a pathway to deep emotional bonding and mutual nurturing...."

North Node In 8th House

North node in the 8th indicates gain through short trips connected with employment or gain through the public. North node in aquarius would show that you give yourself completely to others to love. You attend to them and devote yourself even if they are wrong. This configuration gives good friends and very favourable especially for those involved in politics. In the 8th house, it would indicate that the second part of one's life would be good on a material level. This also favors inheritance, but when it does bring this, sorrows follow and last a long time.

I would suggest that with this combo, you are assisting the other person to learn his/her lessons for Soul growth this lifetime in matters pertaining to 8th House affairs - joint finances, inheritances, sex or bonding of a spiritual nature. That's probably where this aspect got its 'reputation' from but this doesn't necessarily denote that this pairing is of the soulmate type, as the physical intimacy simply indicates one way in which the individual learns to integrate the North node lessons into his/her life.

Look for more binding aspects in the charts, such as Sun-Moon conjunction, Venus-Pluto Conjunction etc..These are powerful karmic ties (esp. those involving Pluto) that are attributable to past lives. In addition, soulmates also usually meet after a major crisis occurs in one or both individuals' lives.

It would really depend on the rest of the chart. I wouldn't say that their North Node in your 8th house by itself means much if that is all there is. Look for aspects between outer planets in one chart to inner planets in the other... for starter.

If you like intense partner than has soul under your skin, then congrats to 8th houses mate!

But..I prefer my mate to be in 7th...less intense

deepends on ur's personally...

i do not get what you just said.
