What it governs
The 8th rules everything intense and shared: deep sex, marriage finances, taxes, inheritances, debts, psychological transformation, death (yours and others'). Where you lose the boundaries you had in the 2nd.
If it's empty
Empty 8th doesn't mean transformation-free. The sign on the cusp still colors how you handle joint resources and intimacy.
