The Number 11 in Numerology: The Quest for Balance
In Numerology, it’s recognized that the number 8 represents the flow of energy. A lot of the time, this does mean money and power – this is the language we speak in our modern world. So this number often pertains to the creation of money, to business, achievement, success, and influence.
But one of the main missions and purposes of the number 8 is to learn how to use its influence for the greater good, and not just for personal gain.
People with this number in their Numerology charts –as the Life Path Number, Destiny (Expression) Number or Soul Urge Number tend to be ambitious, strategic, goal-oriented and, from the outside, can appear to “have it all”. These people do seem to achieve a lot, often in a small space of time. But it’s important to realize that a person with the eight in their chart probably faces more than their fair share of challenge and strife. It’s just that they also have this uncanny knack of bouncing back from (perceived) failure.
Eight is a number that also tends to be rational and adverse to risk: You’ll seldom find number 8 people dependent on luck or waiting for a miracle! Instead, they’ll work hard, be strategic and climb their way to the top. They are often down-to-earth (at the same time as enjoying expensive tastes!)
Shadow Traits of the Number 8
The major difficulties faced by people with an abundance 8s in their charts, have to do with control issues. They often take on more than they should simply because they want to make sure things are done the right way. They may have issues with authority (why listen to someone else when you know better?!)
But in fact, much of the ambition of the 8 personalities is driven by a fear of failure, of poverty or of the loss of control, which they usually view as being all the same thing.
Another shadow of those born under the vibration of the eight is falling flat into victim mode. Because this number will face setbacks, will fail and will, in all probability, lose it all more than once, it can be all too easy to sulk and drop even deeper. BUT… this number is all about flow and balance. Finding that resurgence is what it’s all about.
