Number 8vibrates to the planet Saturn. It represents wisdom, learning through experience, stability, patience, and responsibility. 8 is also the number of financial security, caution, restriction, self-discipline and self-control. 8 people are normally quiet, reserved, and shy. They don't obviously push ahead, but slowly and surely they will get where they want to go, and nothing will stop them from achieving their ambitions. The shyness and reticence is a cover for an intense drive to reach the top of the profession or career. They make excellent teachers and counselors, most of them could be successful in the tough game of politics (although now and then there's a sour apple in the barrel)--and they excel at anything that requires patience and intelligent deduction.
Those influenced by the 8 vibration may have poor health in childhood, but they grow more robust when they reach maturity, and longevity is common with 8 men and women. These people are willing to wait for their plans to bear fruit, and they use the waiting game wisely. It's rare to find an 8 person procrastinating or "goofing off." They have an inborn sense of duty and responsibility that won't allow them to take a careless attitude toward what is expected of them. Most of them born under the 8 influence are as reliable as a grandfather clock, and as cozy to be around as a grandma quilt or comforter. They have a rich sense of humor, but one has to watch for it; it's subtle and never obvious. These people behave as if they don't care a peanut what people think of them, and they appear to be turned off by compliments. Yet inwardly they care very much what people think of them; and if the compliments are sincere, they secretly enjoy them, although they'll hide their pleasure for fear they might be considered weak. To be considered weak is the very last thing they want to happen.
Although the 8 vibration, like all the single number birth vibrations, interacts always with the person's Sun Sign, and the traits aren't always present--they only surface on occasion--most 8 people have very deep and intense natures and great inner strength. They often play an important role in life's drama, and many times are the instrument of Fate for others. There's a tendency toward fanaticism in religion, and they'll stick by what they believe relentlessly, in the face of all opposition. They make loving friends, but bitter enemies.
Although 8 people appear to be cold and undemonstrative with those they love and trust, they can be shyly affectionate and warmly devoted. They're often lonely, needing desperately to be loved, and they're capable of great sacrifices for an ideal, an ambition, or for those who depend on them. They grow younger in appearance and behavior as they grow older--they look and act younger at fifty than they did when they were twenty. They're as demanding of themselves as they are of others, but for all the outward attitudes of wisdom and maturity, self-control, and discipline, the 8 person's heart is lonely and longing, and they need to learn that the pursuit of happiness is not a sin.

[FONT=Arial, Sans, Verdana]A person or entity is influenced by the Number 8 if born on the 8th, 17th, or 26th day of any month, in any year. People or entities born on the 8th are stamped with the distinct imprint of the Number 8. So are those born on the 17th or 26th day of the month, but these will, in addition, be challenged to unlock the karmic mystery of the Compound number 17 or 26, as the case may be, in their lives. The same is true of the Single and Compound number of the name of the person or entity being analyzed.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Sans, Verdana] The Number 8 characteristics and attitudes will be periodically exhibited by the 8 person or entity, and will interact with that person's or entity's personality in different ways, depending on the individual Sun Sign.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Sans, Verdana]When the Sun Sign is:
CAPRICORN: The 8 vibration intensifies the Sun Sign personality traits.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Sans, Verdana]CANCER: The 8 vibration sometimes opposes the Sun Sign motives, but with effort, can be used to balance the Sun Sign nature.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Sans, Verdana]PISCES, SCORPIO, VIRGO, TAURUS: The 8 Vibration harmonizes well with the Sun Sign character, motives, and personality patterns. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Sans, Verdana]ARIES, LIBRA, GEMINI, LEO, SAGITTARIUS, AQUARIUS: The 8 vibration is in sharp contrast with the basic Sun Sign instincts. When it surfaces on occasion in the personality, the behavior is so unusual, relative to the person's normal Sun Sign attitudes, it startles others, and often surprises the Number 8 person as well.[/FONT]

Hey,I noticed a pattern about this in my life(irrelevant to the number 8 though).I was born in the 1st of October so I'm a number 1.And the 3 people I'm closest to in my life are all number 1.My boyfriend was born at the 28th,my 2 best friends on the 10th and the 19th.Is this a coincidence?
 
*Does the Happy Eight Dance*

The burden isn't so heavy. It is only yourself that you carry. Love first and all else will fall into place.
 
Cool. Thanks for the additional info. I notice i relate better with other 8s and with 1 and 4 people. But now I feel I can relate and get along with anybody and everybody. No judgement on my part. I see everyone as special and unique expressions of source. =)
 
I was born on the 17th, so I can relate to the 8 interpretation quite a bit. I wonder exactly how the compound numbers differ from the single digit 8? My birth path number (the sum of my entire birthdate added together and reduced a single digit) is 5, so I definitely feel like some of the 8 qualities are diluted or modified by it.

I've had a couple of people tell me to write the number 8 on a piece of paper and keep it in my wallet because it's supposed to attract money. Of course, I've done so and I'm not exactly sure if it has an effect, but I figure it can't hurt to try! :tongue:

Same here I accepted mine,before I even knew about it..

It says 8 people have the number ingrained in them, which is so true for me.. I have have an 8 tattoo prior to knowing the 8 meaning.. I put it on my wrist,so it will always remind me.. Its always ahead of me.. so to speak.

I also use to say man what did I do in a past life to deserve this ****... lol... I really had no clue then, it would be just what would come out... Maybe somehow I just knew it was related..
I always felt everything happens for a reason, and we meet people in our lifes for specific reasons.. I just knew when I was little I was "put" here for a purpose... :andy:

Hey check out my post number 484!! AND the 8th post in this thread... lol

hmm, only just learned the significance of the 8 in numerology. My life path is 1 but my name number is 44. I found this just now:

"Name Number 44
Your name number is the same as Michael Jackson. Initially you might become big. A lot of celebrities carry this name number. Everything gained will be lost eventually. This number can also bring sudden death. You are suggested to change the name number as soon as possible to get permanent success as everything earned might get lost."

Doesn't sound good. I was born in the 5th month, is that beneficial? apparently 5's in other areas help

Haha! I ALWAYS say that too - "What did I do to deserve this!"
I guess I don't belief I was "put" here for a purpose but I often wonder if certain things happen for a reason - perhaps to make the person understand they were going down the wrong path in life so tragedy ensues so force them to rethink their lives (that would be Saturns doing!)

haha! You better not post anymore so you can keep your number or you will have to make to 488, etc.

Actually, it looks like one of my posts is actually number 8 in the thread .....now is this bad or good? I guess since we are embracing our numbers it is OK. :) I think I want to try to be post 17! :)
 
can anyone help me with this please? everything I've looked at in chaldean astrology says the name number 44 is incredibly bad. I'm seriously considering a name change...

Chero (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheiro) modified Sun Sign with Various numbers, dates, days etc.

While choosing name of a child, I prefer Chaldean Number System (this URL to avoid confusion between number systems: http://www.professionalnumerology.com/chaldeansystem.html) to create harmony with Sun Sign.

If Saturn is not favorable, you many consider changing name.

Good Luck
 
Those, who want to follow Chaldean Number System. In Chaldean Number System number 8 is symbolizes hindrances (like Saturn, very rarely favorable) and Number 4 symbolizes sufferings (Uranus like, if success rare success). One can't control birthday, but parents can chose kids names.

Number 8 is lucky in Chinese Number system
 
saturn in my birth chart is in the 10th, in an ancient pitted degree (1 capricorn) and connected to almost all my other planets.

the link you posted says this about my name number:
"This number is full of the gravest warnings for the future. It foreshadows disasters brought about by association with others; ruin by bad speculations, by partnerships, unions and bad advice. If it comes out in connection with future events one should carefully consider the path one is treading."

to be honest, I could do without the sudden death part from the other explination aswell.

what would you suggest? my life path is 1, my day of birth is 24th so that makes 6
 

I really like that description! It reminds me of the Star (XVII) card in Tarot. :love:

I think those were taken from Linda Goodman's Star Signs because I remember reading the dire warnings that she gave about the 4s and 8s in that book, which were considered by the Chaldeans as the numbers of fate and karma and who believed that "hard luck" is drawn to those that have those numbers prominent. She also mentions that 4 and 8 people tend to be drawn to one another for various important or fated relationships (I've found this to be true). According to that book, 4s and 8s should avoid addresses and phone numbers etc. that reduce to either 4 or 8 and planning important events on dates that reduce to those numbers. It's a very fatalistic view, but she also talks about the power and spirituality of those numbers (especially 8 which is the more challenging of the two numbers, but also promises greater rewards).

a story i want to share about the 4 and 8 connection.

i was at the borders book store. was browsing through the metaphysics section and a pregnant woman walked by. we made eye contact and she smiled at me. then later i sat down reading a book on numerology. a guy was in the same section browsing the books.

then the woman i saw earlier was in the same aisle. she sat down with a stranger and started talking about all sorts of stuff. she kept turning to look at me as if she expected me to join in on the conversation. later again, i came across a book i had bought and read earlier and pulled it out of the shelf. i felt the urge to finally go and talk to her in the process, handing her the book.

for the first time, i openly told someone about my spiritual experience. i never really felt comfortable talking about it, not even within my own family. she was completely understanding and very open-minded. she had an understanding of what's happening to earth and its inhabitants at this time, so it came as no surprise.

later she told me her birthday is on june 4th. the same guy i saw earlier was her brother. his birthday was on july 26th. he shared my birthday! she mentioned that her brother believed he was a shaman in a past life. i decided to share with them a dream that i had. i was in the middle of a dream, then suddenly i got pulled out of this dream and entered another one where i was in the middle of the amazon rainforest with a half-naked tribesman(possibly a shaman priest/healer). everywhere i turned, new life forms began to appear. i asked him, 'how did you do that?' he replied, 'if you trust your own energy, you can manifest anything.' he must have been my spirit guide!:innocent:
 
You know I cant think of not even one 4 person I met... I seem to meet a lot of 3, 5 and 6's..

Maybe I met 4's on the street, but never get a bday... IDK...

I havent looked to much into name numbers.. But if your worried about your name number you can change your name, or change the spelling of it... Ie... change a Y to an I... See if it adds up to a different number.. Research the vibe of that number..

Birth numbers you cant change.. You are born the day your born...
I actually changed my first name.. Well sort of.. I added an A at the end of my first name.. I did this because it's considered a male name... I was so sick of hearing it.. So I added an A.. :tongue:

IRONICALLY my birth name is a 10 once I changed it, it went to a 13= 4 ooooppsssss... lol

I personally dont see 8 as suffering... Lessons.. yes... Learning... yes.... BUT I do think those lessons are for the higher learning... This life was chosen to accept the higher learning...
