Talking in language of aphorism, cure for an obsession is to get another one.
 In context of our subject it applies to great extent, it catches the 
nerve indeed. Venus in eight house modify the behavior of this otherwise
 soft and
 gentle planet, and give colors of passion, and to be more precise, 
obsession to it. Whatever house is governed by Venus, those affairs 
would occupy one’s mind in very prominent way. This planet has been 
considered to be intimately connected with love and relationships
 and indeed it signify the outlook and method in which love will be 
expressed. Those who have this placement seek fierce commitment in their
 personal relationships, their expression of love is generally very 
straight and intense. When the fine line is crossed,
 then obsession with their lovers or else with the idea of love itself 
happens with them. To say that love becomes a necessity for them and not
 a luxury won’t be incorrect.
This passion and intensity in their behavior do not
 just remain confined to their relationship aspect, rather many times we
 see they being
involved whole heartedly in whatever they do. They are deeply attached to their jobs or at least the quality of work they offer and have
constant urge to improve themselves. The thirst for respect and 
recognition often drives their personal ambitions. They can be strongly 
decisive in nature and their will powers are often exemplary. The deeper
 aspect of this placement needs to be understood
 to comprehend it completely .Venus placed here in strength generally do
 not satisfied with superficial aspects of anything, it needs 
penetration, it want to feel the height and depth as well in their lives
 and as this planet majorly signify ability to give
 and receive love ,this intensity and craving hovers around their 
partners. They won’t hesitate in saying or doing things which will seem 
crazy to third person as for them rituals and outer meaning of words or 
act really do not hold any value. This aspect bring
 element of unconventional approach in their relationships, as they think very freely.
 At subconscious level they expect their partners to understand them 
which often result in their lack of desire to explicitly express their 
feelings, because they don’t
 feel the need for it. But when required, they can be so intense in 
elaborating their need for being loved that both words and feelings will
 lag behind.
They can become quite attached with respect to 
their appearance and are sensitive to criticism. Such Venus makes one 
very much concerned to beautifying oneself as appreciation matters a lot
 to these persons. Once they pick any habit it
 becomes difficult for them to leave it, they remain vulnerable of 
becoming slaves of their own tastes. Their habits and tendencies do not 
just lie at the level of their personalities rather sink deep in their 
subconscious minds. The underlying essence of Venus
 in eight house is to enjoy people, things and events in their very 
intense way, that too in their own style. These people generally deviate
 from established belief systems and show remarkably innovative thinking
 patterns. Some challenging events in  their
 life ,generally experiences with their partners or else with the 
females in their family, shapes their belief system to great extent. In 
esoteric sense this Venus doesn’t get satisfy with shallow aspects and 
accordingly Spirituality for them won’t be following
 the tradition or crowd, but when convinced deeply, they can come out as
 natural worshippers and potential as disciple of feminine power is 
huge.
