Numerology not only complements astrology but also exerts considerable influence over it, rendering it as one of the major tools used to reveal a person’s character, actions and fate. In numerology, the basic numbers (radix numbers) are between 1 and 9 and are determined according to a person’s birthdate. Numerology says that individuals who come to this world on certain days have to go through hardships many times in their lives but later on get to enjoy exceptional success—sometimes even riches.

So, which are these special numbers? Let’s find out.

Radix Number 8

If your birthday is on the 8th, 17th or 26th of a month, then your radix number will be 8. Shani (Saturn), the planet ruling this number, represents discipline, justice, and karma. Planet Saturn does not consider anything but the actions of the people, i.e., good actions result in good effects and bad ones cause difficulties.

People with radix number 8 rarely achieve success easily. The travels of these pioneers are accompanied by hardships, postponements and obligations. Nevertheless, when success comes, it is very strong and durable like a giant rather than weak and ephemeral like a common man.

Personality Traits

Individuals influenced by radix number 8 are generally calm, composed and principled. Justice and fairness are their strong values and they never take unethical routes. Hard work and not taking shortcuts are the main reasons for money and success to come their way. The most vivid traits in their personality are sincerity and tolerance.

Communication is limited with them as they seldom reveal their emotions and most of the time prefer to remain silent, opting for the showing method instead of the telling one. Life’s challenges are thrown at them incessantly but with each challenge they grow in strength and resolve.

Career and Success

People with a radix number of 8 are very often in the best positions in such areas as engineering, technology, research, admin, and mission-driven professions. Their progress might be sluggish; sometimes it takes as much as 15 to 20 years for the results to be seen. However, the moment they get to the top, they are granted the nice things of life in the form of stability, power, and wealth—their conduct frequently leads them to millionaire status through nothing but persistence.

Love and Relationships

The love life of a radix number 8 individual may also be quite difficult. He or she is a faithful and devoted partner but may go through misunderstandings or separations. They fight hard to keep their love alive despite the problems, but their emotional turmoil might not be appreciated or recognized by their partner.
