ESSENCE OF EIGHT

REWARD

The strength and skills gathered in the past seven numbers are now put to the test.  Well grounded physically, emotionally and mentally, the Eight reaches out into the world to establish its authority in positions of material power.  The rewards for its past efforts come in equal proportion to the wisdom of past choices.  This is the karmic period where Eight reaps what it has sown.

PERSONAL NUMBER EIGHT

You are the executive type in whichever sphere you move.  Sensing your organizational and managerial abilities, people automatically look to you for leadership.  You know the value of a dollar, so your sound fiscal judgment can place you in positions of financial management.  By working hard and exercising discipline and caution, you can achieve positions of great power.  You do not rely on luck; you depend upon your own resourcefulness and perseverance.  You know no halfway measures; your ambition drives you to achieve success. You must accept responsibility and handle it fairly because your actions have obvious repercussions in the world around you. As a steward of material resources, you must handle them wisely and with respect.  Scheming and ruthless actions and personal advancement without regard for others lead to defeat.

PERSONAL YEAR CYCLE EIGHT

This year you will get what you have earned. Pursue your career goals with confidence and determination, because now you will be noticed.  If you have planned well, you will get that promotion, raise, or recognition. Honors, awards and legacies are also possible.   You are finding out how effective you are in the material world.  It is a year of pressure and responsibility in career and in finances.  Depending upon your past actions, the reins of power can be placed in your hands .. and possibly large sums of money. Personal relationships are also intense.  to fulfill the needs of this cycle .. as opposed to your Five Cycle, where romantic activities were for the purpose of experience .. your relationships now must embody respect and equality, the physical and the spiritual, body and mind.  You can find wholeness here, but whatever this cycle presents to you, an examination of your behavior during the past seven cycles will reveal how you arrived at this point.
