Sun in 8th house (Scorpio's House)

A couple of astrological facts that have come true for me being a Sun in 8th house person..

1. No matter how much distance I try to put between my father's side of the family and me, I never am quite able to. Any joint allainces we strike up with them tend to be fruitful and links with them have always been beneficial. I tend to benefit more from links with them than with my mum's relatives.
2. I was separated from my dad for most part of my childhood when he'd gone abroad to the gulf and left me behind in India to stay with mum and the remainder of my family.
3. I'm an extremophile. I either really dislike something or absolutely love it. Same thing applies to personal relationships. I never grow fond of someone I hate at first sight...the hatred may get diluted..enough for me to interact with him/her professionally but it won't ever be true genuine affection.
4. I get even with enemies. Forgiving and forgetting isn't my kind of thing at all. I save all memories for later and get my revenge when the time and setting's right.
5. I never give up on the challenges that life throws at me. I keep overcoming obstacles and become stronger and more powerful with each one...never losing faith in myself. Like a Scorpio which regenerates appendages, I keep getting transformed with each problem I encounter and develop new qualities and skills that make better equipped to handle future obstacles. I may feel depressed once in a while but a new day brings new rays of hope.
6. I intimidate people I meet without being aware of it. They do admit to being a teeny bit scared of me because they've no idea what to expect and also due to my initial frosty attitude to them that eventually thaws off.
7. I tend to be psychic at times. I trust my instincts and am more inclined to listen to my gut feeling than anything else in times of emotional crisis.
8. I'm very interested in occult sciences such as astrology, tarot and numerology. Anything taboo tends to capture my attention. Criminal behaviour and psychology are two subjects I love reading up on and researching even more as compared to occult sciences.
9. People often think I'm upto no good and get paranoid regarding anything I do because of my deeply probing questions. Thing is, I can't help asking questions about what makes me curious... superficial small talk can never satisfy me. I'd rather go dumb and deaf rather than carry on casual conversations with people.
10. Complete strangers on the street are attracted to me in a way that's really weird to describe...as though I generate a magnetic forcefield around me that they can't resist or something. And no matter how modestly I dress, I attract stares from people wherever I go.

Knight of Swords



He realizes just how much he hates me,
every single time we exchange an SMS.
There isn't a single thing in this world,
the two of us can agree on.
'Love dies when bound in marriage', I say
'That's ridiculous', says he,
'The sanctity of marriage is one to be cherished for life.'

I hate him in turn,
for being so much like his logical sibling,
whose every action is dictated by mind,
every word uttered is thought over so much it loses emotional value
and the pros and cons of every decision made are weighed icily
using that trademark logic and reasoning
leaving the heart playing no role whatsoever.

We realize just how much we detest each other
and should have let go of our love-hate bond
years ago and would have lived never to regret it.
But for that extraordinary communication between us
that doesn't only flow...it leaps and bounces,
giving neither of us the will
to terminate it for good.
