Ruling 8 - Independence & Wisdom

Individuals who consider independence as a crucial element of their existence are often intricate personalities with significant character traits such as exceptional wisdom and strength. Birth dates corresponding to the ruling number 8 are those which sum up to 17, 26, 35, or 44.

LIFE’S PURPOSE

Ruling 8 people may struggle with expressing love and appreciation, which are crucial for successful relationships. Overcoming these limitations is an important aspect of their life purpose. As they improve their ability to express themselves, they will strengthen their relationships and increase their confidence, without sacrificing their independence. This growth will lead to greater personal security, happiness, and wisdom, which are essential for those born under Ruling 8.

BEST EXPRESSION

Despite their strong independence, Ruling 8 people have a capacity for compassion and tenderness towards those in need. However, they may grow impatient with those who become overly dependent on them, as they value their independence. Ruling 8 people have a potential for great success in business, but must be careful not to let their emotions interfere with their decision-making. They take pride in their appearance and are aware of the importance of dressing well for themselves and their loved ones. Ruling 8 people are emotional, but may hide their sensitivities until they mature enough to express them.

DISTINCTIVE TRAITS

​​Ruling 8 people have a strong sense of independence, dependability, and self-confidence that make them well-suited for positions of seniority and responsibility. However, their independence can sometimes lead to a distant and indifferent demeanour at home, which is related to their difficulty in expressing themselves. As they mature, they may become more expressive and develop a deeper sense of compassion, particularly towards animals, infants, the elderly, and the sick. Ruling 8 people possess natural wisdom that they can rely on as they grow and develop.

NEGATIVE TENDENCIES TO BE OVERCOME

Ruling 8 people strongly guard their independence and may resent any perceived interference with their plans. It is important to use diplomacy and tact when guiding them. They may require guidance in handling children, as they can be either overindulgent or exceptionally strict. Ruling 8 people may struggle in their love relationships and may create emotional barriers or hold their feelings in check. As they mature, they may realise the importance of expressing their feelings and find greater happiness in their relationships.

RECOMMENDED DEVELOPMENT

It is important to make an effort to help Ruling 8 people overcome their tendency to be undemonstrative towards their loved ones. This can be achieved by raising their awareness of this behaviour, as many Ruling 8 people do not see it in themselves. As they learn to express their feelings more openly, their personal happiness and security may improve. Expressing appreciation in the first person is a helpful way to develop deeper emotional expression. Ruling 8 people tend to express their wisdom and maturity in impersonal situations, such as in business or when advising others. However, travelling is a great way for them to enhance their wisdom and maturity, as they enjoy it very much.

MOST SUITABLE VOCATIONS

Ruling 8 people often hold leadership positions in large business organisations or as senior executives with promising futures. They possess a good understanding of finance and are drawn to professions like banking and stockbroking. They can also be found in roles like travel executives, aircraft and ship captains, teachers, and nurses for children or the elderly. Some may work with animals or in senior positions at humane organisations. Due to their inclination to conceal their natural emotions, many Ruling 8 people find success as professional actors, as they tend to be acting in some way throughout their lives.

SUMMARY

- Independent, highly dependable, self-confident, undemonstrative

- Commercially oriented

❗️This is the Pythagorean system of numerology, where the Ruling Numbers range from 2 to 11, and there is a special 22/4 (no Ruling Number 1). It is important to note that this system has unique calculation methods and meanings that may differ from other numerology systems.

❗️To calculate the Ruling Number in the Pythagorean system of numerology, we add up the individual numbers in our birth date and reduce them to the smallest number, which can range from 2 to 11. The number 22 is a special case that creates the master Ruling Number 22/4.

For example: Birthday of 18.07.1984

1+8+7+1+9+8+4 = 38 ➡️ 3+8 = 11 ➡️ This is Ruling Number 11
