All numbers produce a predictable outcome- that's the beauty of mathematics and of numerology! When we can understand the numbers that underlie our individual birth codes (made up of our birthdays and full birth names, or natal numbers), a whole new dimension of understanding and consciousness about our lives- who we are,what gives us fulfillment, our challenges, our strengths, why we are here-- unfurls before us.
"Numbers rule the universe; everything is arranged according to number and mathematical shape." -Pythagoras
So let's get into the number 8!
The 8 energy is the Executive, the Director, the Manager, Ambitious Leader! It loves to create monumental goals and execute a plan to reach them. Represented by earth, the 8 is very grounded in the material realm, from which it can harvest opportunities to amass great wealth and power. They are very good at seeing the "whole" or "big picture", then bringing together various components to orchestrate a highly functional system. As such, combined with a "can do" attitude, we can often see 8's rising in the ranks of the business world with ease. Ambition, influence, status, flow, commerce, efficiency, comfort, and success all stem from this energy.
The 8 is also a "karmic" number of sorts. All the "flowy" energy existent in this number means lessons come back around, again and again, until they are finally learned and integrated. This is especially true of lessons in creating appropriate boundaries around oneself. Much of the power of this number also has to do with creating a strong sense of personal power. As such, the 8 is also the energy of resilience.
Duality exists in all things, and numbers are no exception. The "dark side" of the number 8, or what can be experienced when someone with 8 energy is out of alignment with it, is struggling with self-worth, restlessness, recklessness, and materialism. It may also be too stubborn, impatient, and overly competitive. With the 8's need to control everything, it can find it very difficult to take outside direction and potentially running a one-man operation meant to be executed by a whole team of specialists.

Remember, our birth codes are made up of many numbers! Where and how many times any single number shows up in your chart can affect its exact manifestation, along with which other numbers are present. It's like a symphony-- the order of the notes, played by which instruments, can create a nearly infinite number of songs!
