How strong is Moon here?

Succedent houses (2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th) follow the angular houses and are about building, sustaining and securing what has been started. Astrologers read planets here as working steadily, with results that show over time.

The 8th house corresponds to Scorpio, ruled by Pluto (traditionally Mars). Moon doesn't rule Scorpio, so it is read as bringing its own style of emotions, instincts and what makes you feel safe to the house's themes.

House systems differ slightly, and the sign on the cusp of your 8th house adds detail. Your full natal chart shows the exact picture.
