Number 8

Number 8 is a number of darkness and light, conflict and resolution and teaches some hard lessons. It is ruled by Saturn and I have seen people born under this number to achieve success after a lot of struggle, rise to great heights and fall very deeply as well. It rules those who are born on the 8th, 17th or 26th of the month.

If Saturn is well placed in the chart then it will give people born under this number, wisdom, depth, a strong sense of fair play and a detached and balanced view of life. It makes people born leaders and organizers. But if Saturn is not well placed, it will make the person born under this number, a pessimist, easily misunderstood, very lonely and complex. It makes ailments chronic and tilts people towards depression. It can also delay the fruition of desires, and give legal troubles. Most people with Saturn dominant in their charts are reserved and old souls even in their youth.

Most number 8 people are not naturally lucky, and are mostly self-made. At their worst they can be unforgiving and at times vindictive, but when Saturn is well placed they take their losses with grace. It is hard for number 8 people to easily confide in others. That is why they tend to stifle their frustrations inside and become distant. They usually find it hard to spend money, even on themselves, tend to be loners but those who win their trust can be assured they have a friend for life.

They look at life as black and white, and usually face some major catastrophes and tragedies. From a worldly perspective this is not a very lucky number to be born under, as they often face great losses and humiliations.

Number 8s should keep an eye on dates that start or add up to a 4 or an 8 and guard against negativity during those dates.

Number 8 people tend to be prone to liver and intestinal infections as well as anal and private part infections, arthritis and migraines. They should avoid meats and live on fruit, herbs and vegetables.
