Mines also in the 8th house, conjunct mercury oppose mars square the moon in the 5th, trine pysche, I think this is accurate and I'm very into tantric sexVesta in the 8th House:
A long time ago, there was a quiz show called "You Bet Your Life" hosted by Groucho Marx. One of the contestants had nine children. When he was asked why he had so many children, the gentleman replied "I like it Groucho." Groucho's punch line was "I like my cigar too, but I take it out of my mouth every now and then." Sorry, but if you have Vesta in the 8th house, you (unlike that gentleman) simply cannot have sex 24/7. Take a break.
VESTA in the 8th house:
The principle of focus and dedication expressed through deep interactions with others. The 8th house symbolizes deep spiritual and sexual merging;a time when sacred sexual practices can take you to the
heights of ecstasy. A great time for ritual work and meditation concerning 8th house issues.
Where Vesta is seems to supply clues to what area in your life are you willing to be the one to take care of things. Looking after the joint finances might be one expression of Vesta in the 8th.
Vesta in 8th House
Vesta in the eighth house indicates that sacrificial dedication and intense focus are centered around the in-depth and transformational aspects of life - such intense experiences as birth, death, and sexual or mystical union. The longing to become renewed or transformed through the union with the energies of the "not-self," or others, includes the material resources of others as well, so that the sharing or inheritance of the wealth of others can also be issues in which you tend to experience sacrifice or dedication.
This sense of sacrifice could be expressed either as denying yourself these things for the sake of some other goal (which may be spiritual or religious in nature), or as an intense one-pointed focus on these very things themselves. Sexual passion can be sublimated into mystical passion. At any rate, your focus is passionately intense, and if at times this proves a little much for others, such difficulties will help you learn to engage positively in powerful interactions with others. Careful consideration of these activities or issues will help you understand how to best manage your sense of commitment and remain centered in your self.
