Numerical Meaning Of
Number Eight
The meaning of "eight" is found here.
Tarot Association: The Eight is a card of intensity
within the realm of the suit to which it belongs.  Intensity is
truly brought into play with forethought and intention, apply
effort in a serious way in order to move forward toward a
state of solidity and permanence.  It should be noted that
the Tarot does give recognition to the fact that an Eight laid on it’s side is the
symbol for infinity.

Kabalistic Link:  Eight is Hod.  Eight is splendor.  Eight is intelligence in
all its guises.  Without form (another facet of Eight) there is nothingness.  The
left Pillar, Hod is considered passive or feminine in its energy.  It brings the
force of the right Pillar and creates form with it.  The upper Three Sephiroth
form a triangle (a symbol of power) pointing
upward; the next three the same shape points
downward indicating individuality.  The third,
which also points down is manifestation including
manifestation of the individual personality.  
Mercury/Hermes, the God of Science and writing
of books, works in the mental realms  As Netzach
(Seven) is the inner artist, Hod is the inner
scientist.

Pythagorean Description:  Ogdoad,
Eight.  It is in the interpretation of the higher
digits that many get lost in the Pythagorean
system.  Here the Eight is sacred because it
numerically represents the first cube which had 8 corners in its physical reality.  
Eight was a special number because it was considered evenly-even (a very
complex relationship system of the Pythagorean cult), the only number so below
the perfect ten.  Equationally it is represented as:
8/2 = 4, 4/2 = 2, 2/2= 1, 1/1 = 1.  
Thus is the Monad reestablished, forever reempowering itself from the
computations of all there is.
The Ogdoad was love. The two circles connected forming the whole of the 8,  
When lovers unit they create the perfect whole of the one of humanity in their
coupling. Wise counsel is normally associated with the Ogdoad.  The Eight
is said to rule the law where all things must remain in balance.  Balance is
indicated in the physical form of the written numeral eight and balance is
important to the Eight.  
The Gods were affiliated with the Eight in many guises.  Panarmonia,
Dindymene, Rhea, Themis, the Muse Euterpe, Cadmawea, Ciblele and more
are said to be aligned with the energies of the Ogdoad.
The Eight was considered a mysterious number that was associated with older
mysteries such as the Eleusinian of Greece and the Cabiri.  It is said that the
shape of the figure of the numeral was derived from the twisted snakes of
Hermes’ Caduceus; or it may be serpentine motion seen in celestial bodies.  
The Moon’s nodes have also been brought into the associations.  Referred to
sometimes as the “little perfect number” much of the time of the followers of
Pythagorus was spent studying this number and its properties.
Agrippa saw the figure Eight as fullness and balance.  The fullness was
emblematic in the closed circles which could hold abundance.  The balance in
the form of the two circles, stacked one upon the other, stable and divine.  In
the Numerological Block, the Eight is the highest digit in the Emotional Level of
the block, indicating deep emotions and strong feelings.

General Characteristics:  The number of connections (the two circles
do touch), Eight is also the number of winning endeavors.  A strong sense of
business acumen guides you through the corporate hallways with ease.  You are
ambitions, but realistic in your ambitions innately knowing that you are the
master of your own destiny.  Creativity is more of your nature than you care to
admit.  Inner knowings or feelings that you don’t understand are your intuitive
nature coming to light.  Beware the sin of Pride because it does go before the
proverbial fall.  Careers requiring detail appeal to the Eight personality.

Equational Associations:
Fadic Number: You have the patience and the wisdom to understand that true
rewards come after slow and steady progress. Your determination and
industrious nature make obstacles easy for you to surmount with aplomb. Your
challenge is to learn how to be able to take advantage of the persistence to
continue to plod forward, step by step, to a long term goal.
Challenge; Personality; Name and/or Destiny Number: The main challenge
faced by those who have a Challenge Number of 8 is to learn how to integrate
material success while attaining personal spiritual enlightenment. Generous and
determined you are trustworthy and your friends well know it. Responsibility
rests easily on your shoulders as your excellent organizational skills make the
additional tasks of upholding the responsibilities easy for you. You work quietly
and patiently with every aspect of your life. Your ambitions and talents are
coupled with a hardworking attitude that ensures success in your endeavors.  
You need to beware of allowing your natural personal power turn into
manipulation of others. Beware the tendency to reach for just a little more
power. Remember that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Eights can be their
own worst enemy and do much to sabotage their own efforts.  As an employer
Eights can be perceived as meticulous and even a slave-driver. Balance in
monetary matters must be obtained because you have a natural tendency for
obsession about money in its physical form.
Life Number/Fate Number: A life number of Eight carries with it a
responsibility. As an energetic person you understand that effort in has much to
do in the equation of the results. You can persevere, ensuring the final
outcome.  Naturally authoritative, others sometimes perceive you as a know-it-
all. Your spiritual essence is not far from the surface and your inner light shines
through in all that you do. Your sense of responsibility is a factor in all aspects
of your life.
Psychic Number: Your Psychic Number relates directly to the numbers in your
date of birth. Since the numbers of days in a month are limited, there are a
limited number of equations or dates that can be reduced to any specific single
digit. There are those that are born on the date itself and then nuances between
the different birth days. Here’s some quick descriptions of the various birth
dates:
8th – hard to pin down; spiritual and secretive; a loner, private; don’t reveal
much.
17th – less extreme; limits always considered; aware of ego; comes to terms
well.
26th – high-flying, high-faluting; great care; intellectual creativity; balance.

Lover’s Match:
When the life numbers of the two members of a couple are added together and
reduced to a single digit, that digit can say much about the relationship between
the two individuals.   Eight on a lover’s match is the happy couple, the
partnership, the blending of equals.  You move through life together, learning
from one another as time goes on.  Here are some of the more intricate points
depending on your Eight Equation.
1 + 7 = takes work and effort but allows for great rewards; deep understanding.
2 + 6 = collaborative efforts, warm and understanding couple; caring and able.
3 + 5 = some confusion before understanding; communication; risk-takers.
4 + 4 = caring and follow through; industrious partners; security; tangibility.
8 + 9 = takes work but karmic; give and take; work through issues to success.
