You have the ability to channel your energies in order to alter any given situation. You will ultimately be a leader. Strength, will and effort are the keywords for your nature. The power you exert over the material world is a product of your own discipline. You can manage and organize efficiently. You are the big boss type with executive abilities.

With your sound business judgment and knowledge of the value of a dollar, you prefer a big expanding business to a small business venture. You are shrewd, resourceful and ambitious for power. Failure just spurs you on to greater effort. You do not give up easily and can be a great success in the financial world. You are a money maker and will probably become wealthy. Some 8's make and lose more than one fortune in their lifetimes.

You are a down-to-earth realist in nature. A career in finance, banking, brokerage, speculation or investment would be a good path to follow. However, working for material gain alone will not provide the satisfaction you need. You must learn to share your good fortune with others. You work tirelessly for the causes you adopt and you should encourage your philanthropic leanings. But be careful not to neglect your spiritual side. Develop and live by a sound policy so that if material reverses occur, you will still have a solid basis on which to rebuild.

This is where your sense of balance and judgment is most important.

You are blessed with originality and inspiration. You like to create so you are multi-talented in all areas of material achievement. With these qualities and your diplomacy, persistence and courage, you can accomplish anything you set out to do.

Many outstanding athletes with a fine sense of balance and rhythm, come under the number 8 vibration. They achieve distinction through discipline, effort, will and strength.

You want to be proud of your family, home and possessions and your marriage is likely to be based on a need for security rather than love.

If you are a negative 8, you are someone to be feared. You can be a bully, domineering, selfish and ruthless, scheming for your own advancement. You may be a revolutionary, ready to overthrow and disrupt. Upheaval is a way of life with you.

An 8 knows no halfway measures. It is either personal limitation or spiritual freedom. Splendor or degradation. You must accept responsibility and handle it as well as you can. Use the positive 8 vibrations to create a stable material world in which you are willing to share your fine managerial capabilities and creative talents. Be guided by the philanthropist in you.
