Are You A Life Path Number 8? What That Means


For You, According To Numerologists
Author: Sarah Regan
November 07, 2023

In numerology, numbers and letters are believed to hold energetic vibrations


—and those vibrations influence our lives. Once you calculate
your numerology chart and know your life path number, you can use it to
better understand your personality, strengths, and weaknesses.

Today, we're diving deep into life path number 8.

Life path 8 key traits

Life path 8's, also known as "the Powerhouse" of numerology, are ambitious,
hardworking, and often very (materially) successful, according to
numerologist and author of You Are Cosmic Code Kaitlyn Kaerhart.

As the bridge between the material and spiritual world, she notes, life path
8's must learn to stay grounded with a strong sense of purpose in order to
have a healthy relationship with money and power.

Here's a look at five of their fundamental qualities:

1. Ambitious

Life path 8's are characterized by their unmatched ambition, according to


Kaerhart. And while ambition can be a good thing, she adds there can be a
tendency of being overly materialistic and overbearing.

2. Disciplined and hardworking

Kaerhart notes that 8's are extremely disciplined. This makes them excellent
leaders who can effect real change, and they also intuitively understand the
energetic dynamics of power and money.

3. Power manifestors

Numerologist Michelle Buchanan explains that since 8 is a powerful number


for manifestation, those with this life path number tend to attract what they
focus their attention on.

This ability is a great thing when 8's are living in alignment and aware of their
thoughts and feelings—but things can get ugly fast "when they are
pessimistic, materialistic, competitive, or have a victim mentality," she says,
adding, "They can attract what they don't want faster than any other
number."

4. Wealthy

Life path 8's are known as the powerhouse, and Kaehart says 8 is the only
number associated with money. "I've never seen an 8 not come into
significant abundance," she says.

5. Dominant

Life path 8's are also known for being authoritative—and even controlling.
"They're very much an authority in whatever field they want to be in," Kaehart
says. While leadership can be an admirable quality, it's important these folks
avoid exerting their power negatively and always use it for the betterment of
all, she notes.

Life path 8 careers


Eights are talented leaders and problem solvers who are often drawn to self-
employment or positions of authority, according to Buchanan, who adds,
"When they live by their higher ideals, they can be extremely successful in
business."

As you might imagine, it's important for these folks to take the reins
in whatever career they choose, with Kaerhart noting, "I never want to limit
any number to a field, but I will say the life path 8 has to work for
themselves."

Buchanan echoes this point, telling mindbodygreen they tend to work well in
management roles and positions of authority where they can make decisions
and be in control. "They don't like being told what to do, especially when
they don't respect the person in charge—therefore self-employment is
preferred."

Whether they're a self-employed hairstylist or the CEO of a major


international corporation, she adds, they just want to be in control.

"The most suitable industries for an 8 life path are determined by the Destiny,
Soul, and Maturity Number," Buchanan says (which you can find in your full
numerology chart). "For example, a 3 Destiny Number indicates a creative,
artistic, or communications industry such as beauty, fashion, design,
entertainment."

That said, according to Buchanan, life path 8's would generally do well in
these fields or positions:

Business owner

Independent contractor

Manager or supervisor

Banking or finance professional

Business adviser

Property developer or broker

Surgeon

Lawyer

Politician

Executive

Military or law enforcement officer

Life path 8 love, relationships & compatibility


As Buchanan explains, looking at someone's entire chart of 7 Core
Personality Numbers will offer greater accuracy when it comes
to numerology compatibility, "but in general terms, 8 is a strong and
masculine number that has incarnated to work on 'power' issues—therefore,
some 8s need to be in control and can be domineering in relationships."

Kaehart notes this controlling nature is something they (and their partner)
need to watch out for, adding, "They want things their way, and when they
don't get their way, they can come off as a bit of a dictator."

However, Buchanan tells mindbodygreen, "All 8's are here to learn to obtain
'balance,' and those who have mastered this attract healthy relationships with
partners who are 'just right,' and there are no power issues between them."
Some 8's, but not all, she says, are most compatible with the 4, 6, or 8 life
path. But Kaehart adds that at the end of the day, "any number can be with
any number."

Most compatible with life path 8's:

Life path 2

Life path 4

Life path 8

Could go either way with life path 8's:

Life path 1

How to thrive as a life path 8


1. Study the universal laws

Buchanan recommends 8's study and live their life by the universal laws that
govern this world (like the law of attraction). She adds that Sandra Anne
Taylor's book, Quantum Success: The Astounding Science of Wealth and
Happiness, is a book every 8 should read.

The more 8's understand the laws of the universe, the better they'll be able to
bridge the material and the spiritual.

2. Find balance within yourself

One of life path 8's biggest lessons is to learn how to find balance, in life and
within themselves: "Balance between the material and spiritual world, balance
between the ego human mind and the inner voice of the soul, balance
between self-discipline and self-control and a need to control circumstances,
others, and the world," Buchanan says.

Whether through study, service to others, or other forms of self-improvement,


it's all about striking a balance in all areas of life for this number. "Life path
8's are strongly governed by the Law of Cause and Effect, so it's vital that
they live honestly and with integrity because what goes around comes
around," she adds, "and this is doubly so for an 8."

3. Use abundance affirmations

Kaerhart explains that it's very important for 8's to have a healthy relationship
with money, abundance, and wealth. And Buchanan adds they also need to
find the balance between "having an attitude of abundance yet knowing that
money, power, and success do not define them."
Positive money and power affirmations will serve them well. Buchanan
recommends repeating, I adopt an attitude of abundance and reclaim my
personal power.

Kaerhart suggests, I am abundant and ambitious using this power to do good


in the world.
