When Capricorn is in your 8th House, you may be very cautious and reserved when dealing with money and making important financial decisions. You may have financial success but it may come after a long time and a lot of hard work.
To understand what it means when a sign lands in a house on your natal chart, you need to look at the meaning of the house, meaning of the sign, and how they interact:
- The 8th House represents fears, the things in our life we have no control over, shared assets, investments, loans, debt. It also represents the person we are in our private life and who we are in secret.

- When Capricorn is in the 8th House, you might be quite picky about your intimate partners and who you allow near yourself. You may be emotionally avoidant and intimacy might be shown through taking care of the other person and prioritizing them rather than emotionally opening up to them.
