8 The Entrepreneur. Worldly success, but ups and downs in the search for balance. People with this number are intense and deep, with great willpower and individuality. They can be rebellious and keep their deep feelings hidden under a cold exterior.
The number 8 relates to Uranus, originality in thought, inspiration and innovation.
If your Life-Path number is EIGHT, the pursuit of money and status will be the most prominent for you. Those with a Life-Path number of EIGHT are often the most powerful, confident and materially successful people there are.
EIGHT personalities tend to be independent, competitive, practical and forceful when it's necessary. Managing business, yourself and your environment will all come fairly easy. With an EIGHT Life-Path you are endowed with tremendous potential for conceiving far reaching ideas and further, with the tenacity to follow through on them. Key qualities/words for an EIGHT Life-Path are practical endeavors, status orientated, power seeking and high material goals.
It is common for EIGHTS to find they have little or no time for dreams and visions. They are more likely to be concerned with the down to earth affairs that are going on. This can add strain to relationships if others aren't aware or accepting of your nature. An EIGHT can also become so preoccupied with the making of money that the family, the home and their own peace of mind becomes neglected. Taking appropriate time to allow for all things that are important can be a challenge but is also vital to the happiness of an EIGHT.
The life purpose for an EIGHT is to acquire money and to learn the power that comes with proper manipulation. It was once thought that the number EIGHT was one of 'bad luck'. This is hardly the case. Luck has nothing to do with it for an EIGHT. Ingenuity, balance and hard work bring rewards.
It's important for all EIGHTS to refrain from obsessive pursuits or from neglect of life's other pleasures. It can be a challenge to find the right balance between ambition and relationships. However, careful planning and determination can keep life in harmony.
You are on Earth to experience success. No matter how great or small, the satisfaction you derive form achieving your goals is enough to keep you expanding. Your natural ability to make decisions makes you a good leader who is not afraid to seize an opportunity that may present itself. The danger is not to allow an egotistical approach to cloud your true intentions. Achieve your aims and do your life’s work by remaining true to who you are. Success is not about being better than anyone; it is about reaching the goals you have set for yourself and enjoying the rewards that result from it. Success may also not necessarily be about money. More often than not it is about being who you intend to be and achieving inner peace.
The qualities of the number eight include regeneration, stability, new life, eternity, and the cycle of time. According to the ancient Greeks, eight represented justice because each time it was halved; it would continually result in two equal parts: the eight halves to four, the four to two, and the two to one. Eight also signifies equilibrium and balance not only because of its behavior when halved but also because its very appearance consists of two equal circles adjoining along a vertical axis. Eight is a number that indicates materialism and worldly interests for those who are influenced by it. People under the influence of the number eight tend to exhibit extremes in terms of their material success, either possessing a great deal of good fortune or none at all. However, another of the characteristics of eights is tenacity and the willingness to keep trying, which, in the positive sense, can lead to success for those whose luck isn’t the best, but in the negative sense can lead to hardheadedness and the continuance of difficulties because of an unwillingness to move on to better things.

They are basically serious-minded and philosophical in their approach to life. They are not afraid to get involved in work or projects that may require personal sacrifice.
You have a talent for business, and a good sense of money. Your approach to business is original, creative and daring. You have sound judgment and need the freedom to exercise it, lest you become bitter and tyrannical elsewhere in your life.
It is advisable to avoid partnerships wherever possible. You are highly competitive and close partnerships -- especially when power is divided equally -- can lead you to indulge in intrigues and manipulation.
You are efficient and can handle large projects. If you do not already run your department or own business, you are destined for such a position. You can manage large groups of people and guide them along the lines of your vision.
You are a realist, self-confident, practical, ambitious and goal-oriented. Others respect you and your judgment. They know that you can be depended upon, you come through.
You enjoy a challenge. The expectations of others stimulate you, especially if they doubt you can pull it off. You tend to be dramatic with money. You have a need for status and may show off the fruits of your labor with an impressive car or house.
You are proud of your family and like to be complemented. You have strong character, but may be domineering and bossy. You have little patience with weakness, be it your own or someone else's. You do not express your feelings much.

Basic Tarot Story
The Fool, victorious over his enemies, is feeling arrogant, powerful, even vengeful. There is a hot passion in him that he can barely control. It is in this state that he comes across a maiden struggling with a lion. Running to help, he arrives in time to see her gently but firmly shut the lion's mouth! In fact, the beast, which seemed so wild and fierce a moment ago, is now completely at her command.
Amazed, the Fool asks her, "How did you do that?" One hand on the lion's mane, she answers, "Will power. Any beast, no matter how wild, will back down before a superior will." At that moment, the Maiden meets the Fool's eyes; though sanity and young, her look is knowing, and filled with great power. "Likewise," she says to him, "there are many unworthy impulses inside us. It is not wrong to have them. But it is wrong to let them control us. We are human, not beast, and we can command such energy, use them for higher purposes." His rage quieted, the Fool nods, enlightened, and walks away knowing that it wasn't only the lion that was tamed this day by a Maiden's pure and innocent strength.
Description: Based on the realization that life is ultimately fair and just, the Justice card symbolizes balance, harmony, and fairness in our lives. She represents the choices we make, and reminds us to base them on planning, reflection, rationality, and a weighing of options between the sword and the scales. In love relationships this is reflected by honesty, respect, and loyalty, in professional life by essential values like professionalism, respect for established processes and procedures and adherence to reporting systems. In negative situations this card can resemble imbalance, coldness, and a destructive streak impeding relationships.
Like its ruling sign Leo, this is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That force can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. This card assures the Querent that they can control not only the situation, but themselves. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
Wang in the 'Kabalistic Tarot' likens to the Strength card, at one point, to a Vestal Virgin tending a sacred flame. And this, I think, is one of the best interpretations. Fire is a fearful thing, hot, burning, all too easily able to spark out of control. But somewhere along the way, we lost our fear - but not our respect - for fire. And with will and intelligence, we made it our tool. And I think it worth understanding and saying to the Querent, that as with fire or taming a lion, you might get burned or scratched a few time by that which you're trying to control, be it a situation, a person or your own unworthy impulses. The important message of the strength card is not to give up. To have the courage to keep at it till you succeed and to have the faith and optimism that you will succeed.

Number 8
Can anyone advise the apparently avid following many Asians have for the number 8. It is said to be an exceptionally lucky number.
I recall reading an article on this but never found the book again.
It told how many Asian mothers arranged for the birth of their babies on 8/8/1988, and where the birth date was calculated anywhere up to two weeks after, they arranged caesarian deliveries on the special date, because it contained 4 of the auspicious number.
Would "fudging" the birth date negate the luck?

Re: Number 8
Technically the birth-date in mention would be a 6 life path not an 8. And fudging the birth date could possibly lead to some major confusion for the person because they would be vibrating at a different number than what they believe their number to be.Gillian wrote:Can anyone advise the apparently avid following many Asians have for the number 8.

There was a similar situation with people getting married on 09/09/1999... but of course not to many did the math... it adds down to one - not that that is a bad thing... one is a good date for a anniversary date.
