From a distance, the number 8 may appear extravagant, materialistic, successful – the type of person who seems like they’re trying to prove something, perhaps trying to prove themselves. While eights tend to be all of these things, the guiding force of their lives lies in the balance between the material and spiritual. It’s about finding the spiritual purpose for their financial success.

Just like the number 8’s meaning in numerology goes deeper than the surface-level, so does the 8 personality type

It’s not just the confidence, cunning, drive, and competence, and appreciation for luxury that’s so apparent to those around the eight.

They have many qualities that an observer might not expect. For example, eights can be as good at judging character as they are with judging monetary decisions. And although they have unbridled ambition and work ethic, they can also ground themselves in realism and practicality instead of getting carried away in daydreams or fantasies.

Though the eight can be quite money and status-oriented, their generosity often knows no bounds. Long after their physical wealth fades, eights are often appreciated for the legacy of generosity they leave behind.

Understanding your inherent nature is crucial not only for self-improvement, but also for recognizing the deeper meaning behind your interactions and experiences. Just as an Eight can use their generosity to make a lasting impact, you too have unique numerological parameters that can shape your destiny.

What does 8 mean in numerology in different contexts?

It’s easy to oversimplify 8 to materialism

Focusing on their own success, power, and satisfaction by buying the nicest things money can buy

Indeed, those impacted by number 8 can get too caught up in superficiality. In that case, they feel perpetually dissatisfied no matter how much they achieve, sometimes turning to substances or catching themselves in fits of rage.

Quote

That’s why the paramount focus of the number 8 should be balance. In the shape of the number eight, you can find two connected circles. Just like the material sphere and the spiritual sphere in the life of an eight, which should be connected and balanced for the individual to find the inner comfort they’re looking for.

Quote

That means, the eight must not get blinded by what’s right in front of them. They must instead learn the lesson that power and money are not the end goal, but rather a highly effective tool to reach the end goal of closeness with others, spiritual growth, and inner peace. 

For example, the successful 8 could build a business that helps reward family, friends, and loyal associates. They could contribute to charity or leave behind wealth for loved ones to help better their family’s lives for generations to come.

gesturing and appear to be sharing important life lessons number 8
An evolved number 8 personality could also get into mentorship, sharing the wisdom they’ve learned after many years of experiencing failures and good fortune to achieve what they have

Picture the trailblazing entrepreneur who achieves everything he dreamed and more, but then wanted something more fulfilling to focus on. He’ll teach business to students, mentor someone to someday take his place, or invest in new business ideas by the next generation of budding entrepreneurs.

This is key because the shape of number eight also indicates the ever-present possibility for complete reversal in the 8’s life. So if finances and material possessions suddenly evaporate, the 8 type will be much better off if they have cultivated inner well-being and strong relationships.

    Number 8 in Numerology in Careers

    risk that number eight might be tempted to take number 8

    Eights have a natural gift for pursuing a fitting career for themselves with all they have, being organized, taking on big projects, trusting the right people, leading others, making advantageous decisions, climbing the ladder, and working under pressure, even in emergency situations. They can take their career in many lucrative directions:

    • Organizational, administrative, or managerial positions
    • Establishing or running a business
    • Entrepreneurship
    • Banking, finance
    • Real estate
    • Journalism
    • Coaching
    • Supervising

    The visionary and successful number eight must not take irresponsible risks or make moves with immoral or corrupt intentions, or they’ll likely backfire. Pure ability will only get them so far in life without authenticity and integrity.

    Numerology Number 8 in Love

    With such a laser focus on their own pursuits and recognition, the 8 should take care not to become too self-absorbed, opinionated, controlling, or critical.

    love and affection offered but not accepted number 8
    This will alienate the most patient partners and friends

    This is especially true with how reluctant eights can be to share and accept love and affection

    This is especially true with how reluctant eights can be to share and accept love and affection

    But, when the eight digs deeper into themselves and the irreplaceable value of their relationships, they can enjoy very loving companionship, especially with those who share their passions.

    Energy of Number 8

    The positive energy of number eight is endlessly productive and giving. But an 8 with bad energy can exude arrogance, impatience, anger, hypocrisy, and ego.

    Here’s how the energy of number 8 in numerology can change depending on different underlying number combinations:

    • Capable in business matters
    • Execution
    • Independence
    • Organized
    • Takes on big responsibilities
    • Money sense
    • Efficient
    • Goal-driven
    • Intelligent and intuitive
    • Realistic and practical
    How does this combination bring the energies of 8, 2, and 6 together?
    • Collaborative
    • Organized
    • Efficient
    • Good with Money
    • Ambitious
    • Energized
    • Adaptive
    • Creative
    • Intelligent
    • Practical
    • Sensitive or Emotional
    • Reserved but Affectionate

    Just as the number eight’s circumstances can shift dramatically from one extreme to another, their personality traits can either serve them and those around them or hinder everything:

    • Capable, efficient
    • Healthy ambition

    The Number 8 in Numerology Chart

    In numerology, the number eight doesn’t always have the same implications. What the number 8 manifests in one’s life can depend on where it appears in the numerology chart, whether it’s in a name, birthday, or both.

    Life Path number 8

    The number 8 is likely the boss, and if not, they know how to fake it until they make it. But, steer clear of letting power and drive transform into corruption or a lack of integrity. Because having questionable motives could lead to turmoil for the 8 and the goals they’re looking to achieve.

    As the 8 personality makes it through life winning one battle after another, they will gradually realize that worldly pleasures like status, money, and possessions lose their appeal after a while. A wise 8 who learns the lesson of their life path will make a legacy of kindness and giving out of their fortune, sharing the wealth in meaningful ways that are enriching for those they love and respect.

    Expression number 8 (Destiny Number)

    There’s no doubt people in alignment with the number 8 are destined for financial and career success. Their early entry into the realms of power and status will be quite the education. This will suit their ambitions, since the eight usually also desires to be the hands-down authority in whatever they’re aspiring to.

    When money, power, status, and even achievement lose their luster, the eight will go through a period of very uncomfortable and frustrating dissatisfaction in life. No matter how hard they work, how much influence or money they accrue, or how many notches they get in their belt, nothing feels like enough. They don’t quite feel whole.

    This can manifest in a negative energy 8 who is impatient, ruthless, temperamental, preoccupied with substances, or even slipping into a financial hole.

    On the other hand, this low period can help the eight realize that materialism and recognition don’t cut it. They must embark on a path towards spiritual and worldly balance, material concerns and relationships, to find that their worldly accomplishments can go so much farther when put to a meaningful use.

    Soul Urge Number Eight

    Challenge and reward are major parts of what makes numerology eight tick. But on a deeper level, the need to be perceived as outstanding is an indication of the number eight’s soul desire to be loved and respected unconditionally. But, unfortunately, most 8s get stuck in those infinitely repeating patterns of unfulfilling relationships (no coincidence that 8 is an overturned infinity sign).

    After years of emotional and financial consequences from running in circles with partners, the 8 will embrace the deeper parts of themselves, finally finding someone who loves them for who they are within. When they find someone equally competent and motivated as themselves, the number 8 type may just realize they now hold the greatest reward of all.

    8 Birthday Number

    Those born on the eighth of the month or whose birthday otherwise aligns with the number 8 will inherit all of the strength, power, ambition, and success that 8 is known for. They’re likely to enjoy financial stability and a coveted position.

    Their innate leadership commands respect from their associates and other influential individuals. Determination, responsibility, and practicality have the potential to carry the 8 very far in life as they chase their long-term goals with fervor and excel at any business or financial goal.

    They should be careful not to become overly obsessed with material possessions or to become workaholics. Instead, it will be beneficial to learn how to strike a balance for the sake of their spiritual well-being and relationships.

    The Hidden Links Between Numerology 8, Tarot, and Astrology

    Let’s start with astrology. The number 8 is ruled by the planet Saturn, which signifies authority, duty, and discipline. Saturn conjures the structure and elbow grease usually required to chase goals that echo over lifetimes. 

    Also in astrology, under Saturn, we have the Capricorn sign. Capricorns can have impressive work ethics and drives for success, which they reach with calculated planning and focus. Next is Leo, ruled by the Sun. Leos are of course synonymous with courage and regal levels of authority. Finally, the Libra (Venus) introduces that essential balance and harmony that the number 8 desperately needs between the physical world and the personal/spiritual.

    symbol of power and overcoming adversity number 8
    In Tarot, Strength VIII is the most directly tied to numerology 8, representing power, resolve, and the resilience to overcome adversity (and oneself)

    We also have the 8s of the Minor Arcana, which embody work, goals, and worldly abundance. Lastly, The Star XVII exhibits the inspiration and guidance that makes 8 such a compelling leader or mentor and shares the wisdom that defines their ultimate path in life.


    In Conclusion

    Don’t write off the number eight as superficial. Although money and nice objects are meaningless in the scope of the universe and the spiritual, the number 8’s meaning goes beyond the superficial surface.

    inner journey towards spiritual awakening number 8

    With all the allure of the worldly pleasures that surround them, it might be more rare for the eight to arrive at the spiritual awakening they need for true fulfillment. But once they discover how to use their means for good and prioritize love, legacy, and kindness, they will finally feel like the winners they’ve strived to be their entire lives.
