Number 8 in Numerology: Relationship Significance
Number 8 and Number 1
Number Is are naturally attracted to number 8s and provide them with great incentive and energy. Number 8s are melancholic while 1s are happy and inspired—they are exact opposites. Eights need 1s for happiness and inspiration. The number 1 is light, and number 8 is darkness; darkness needs light. But 1s also serve as enemies by imposing disciplines and laws on 8s, who do not obey these laws and follow no disciplines. This creates problems for 8s. But as 1 is a lucky number, it brings much-needed good luck to 8s. Number 8s are materialists, and 1s idealists. They do not work very well together for a long time and 8s finally break off the relationships. But 1s are still good numbers for friendships and romance, if not for business partnerships or life partnerships. Eights should select 1 s for any relationship. Number 8 women can marry number 1 men and feel lucky for some time; their marriage is never a permanent affair with any number. Also eights can select the number 1 for residential numbers.
Number 8 and Number 2
Number 8 is ruled by Saturn, and number 2 is ruled by the Moon. Saturn is neutral to the Moon, but the Moon is an enemy of Saturn. They are attracted to each other. Number 8s are always helpful to 2s and they can remain good friends, but 2s do not help 8s in a practical way; they only provide verbal support. Twos are not good for business partnerships and life partnerships, although they help 8s to make money, and make money themselves. Twos get easily nervous, and 8s have strong powers of endurance, which helps 2s. These two numbers can work together on a project in which the number 8 person has the authority. Eights should select the number 2 for appointment dates or residential numbers.
Number 8 and Number 3
Number 8s and number 3s have a neutral relationship like Saturn and Jupiter. Jupiter is a believer in dharma (natural laws), and Saturn does not believe in laws. Saturn does, however, respect Jupiter, who happens to be a teacher of his father—the Sun God. Thus 8s and 3s neither harm nor benefit each other. Eights are self-sufficient and do not ask for help; 3s are teachers who do not advise or help, unless asked. So 3s are never really involved with 8s, but they remain good friends. Number 3s can bring joy and happiness into the dry lives of 8s. If 8s can ask for and listen to the advice of 3s, they can achieve both material and spiritual success. Number 8s should, therefore, be ready for hard work and select 3s for friendship and business. If 8s are in politics, 3s can be very helpful. Together they can do marvellous things for humanity at large, such as bring social reforms. Number 3s are not suitable for 8s in marriage, but for romance they are good.
Number 8 and Number 4
Number 8s and number 4s are friends. Rahu, ruler of number 4, is described as similar to Saturn in nature. People with both numbers are revolutionary, lovers of justice, and successful only in the latter part of their lives. Number 4s do not care for money and spend freely, while 8s like to save and are incapable of spending it. Fours can learn from 8s the secrets of saving money for hard times. These numbers are very similar: both are misunderstood; both face obstacles, hardships and opposition; both are unpredictable and changing—their friendship is mutually beneficial. Their friendship provides the number 8 person with a sense of fulfillment and helps him or her grow and develop. A number 4 is quieting and calming to a number 8; a number 4 makes an 8 fortunate. Number 8s should select 4s for friends, business or life partnerships, appointment dates, or residence numbers. Some Western numerologists suggest that 4s are not good for number 8s. This may be because they associate the number 4 with the negative side of 1, the Sun, or because they connect it with Uranus and with sudden outbursts of anger. Then Saturn becomes the total opposite of 4. But as we have seen great similarity between 4s and 8s, it is clear that a 4 is the only hope for an 8—being a true sympathizer, helper, and friend. Nobody understands 8s; 4s do and they provide them with positive vibrations. Number 8s should not be guided by the numerologists who claim that 4s are not good for them: they should select 4s. Specifically, number 8 men can select.
Number 8 and Number 5
Number 8s and number 5s have a strange relationship. Saturn is neutral in friendship to Mercury, and Mercury is friendly with Saturn, but Saturn is malefic and Mercury benefic. They are poles apart—5 is fast, 8 is slow. Number 5s are jovial and love humor and jokes; number 8s are serious and do not appreciate humor or jokes. This creates problems. Eights neglect 5s and do not support 5s wholeheartedly; 5s also withdraw and become self-conscious. Friendship between the two is only possible in the political field and in organizations or institutions working for human welfare. There they can benefit each other, but otherwise they do not make good company. Eights should not select 5s for friendships, or business or life partnerships. Number 8s should not start important projects on day 5, 14, or 23 of any month. Nor should they start a journey of those dates. Number 8s should avoid 5s for residential numbers.
Number 8 and Number 6
Number 8s and number 6s are very good friends. Sixes are always helpful, inspiring, attractive, well mannered, gentle, and playful. Number 8s are easily attracted to 6s and become social and tolerant in their company. In fields such as art, politics, and film, 8s and 6s make good combinations; they are also good in friendships, business partnerships (providing 6s have the upper hand), and life partnerships. Eights can select the number 6 for appointment dates or residential numbers. Number 6 women are lucky for number 8 men, and make good homemakers. With them 8s can have clean, nicely arranged homes with some warmth, love, and peace. Although this relationship does not last permanently, it can be prolonged if the 8 makes frequent journeys to foreign lands and the 6 gets time to be alone and independent. This practice could help the 8 extend his marital life with any suitable number, such as 1, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
Number 8 and Number 7
Number 8s and 7s have a relationship of their own. Eights are beneficial to 7s, but 7s dislike 8s for personal reasons and do not communicate freely with them. Eights feel comfortable with 7s; the reverse is not true. This creates difficulties in lifelong partnerships and friendships, and therefore 8s and 7s are not ideal for marriage. In friendships, 8s have to work hard and serve 7s; otherwise, 7s turn away. In financial matters they can cooperate, but 8s have to have the upper hand in management. In the field of life and love, 8s can learn from 7s and thus enrich their own lives. A number 7 person has an unusual personality and an 8 is uncommon also. They can work together when the 7 is elderly and the 8 is young, when the 7 is a teacher and the 8 a student, or when the 7 is the head of a community or organization and the 8 handles the management. Eights can also select a house number that totals 7, but the house will become a meeting place for occult practices, and many spiritual teachers will visit that house. Eights can select 7s for appointment dates or residential numbers.
Number 8 and Number 8
Two number 8s become strong in combination. When they come together, they dissolve into each other and try to please each other. And when two number 8s become opponents, they give each other a good fight. As friends, they inspire each other and are good companions when both are interested in material success or success in religion or occult sciences. Although 8s are not teachers or good students of 8s, as coworkers they cooperate very well and gain the desired success. The combination is good for business partnerships or life partnerships. If both husband and wife are interested in a human welfare organization, they remain together and help the organization. Eights can select number 8 for appointment dates or residential numbers.
Number 8 and Number 9
Number 9s are enemies of number 8s, but good enemies. Number 9s inspire 8s to think and contemplate; they are good teachers for 8s and help them grow and develop. Eights have to spend energy on 9s and help them financially. The number 8 is a lucky number for 9, but the reverse is not true. In business partnerships, number 8s are benefited if the businesses are in their own name, and vice versa. Number 8s can select 9s for friendship and marriage. Number 9 women and number 8 men can make a good combination for some time. A number 8 woman will face financial problems with a number 9 man. Eights should select 9s for residential numbers, but 9s may not be ideal appointment dates for important jobs. If eights select 9 for a house number, they will have to spend a lot of money to maintain the hous.
