The eighth house handles everything that cannot be held alone: joint finances, inheritance, debt, the deep end of intimacy, and death. It is the second house turned inside out, not what you own, but what you and someone else own together.
Planets here describe how a person handles dependence and exposure, and how well they survive the parts of a life that end.

Every house is answered by the one across the wheel. Here that is the second house. What is emphasised in one is usually being answered for in the other.
