Numerology: The Year of the Eight

Numerology reading is the study of the mystical significance of numbers. Using numerology, a psychic can help you discover your strengths and weaknesses, talents and challenges you may have interacting with others. By studying a person's birth date and name, a psychic can also provide you with information to determine the best times to change jobs, get married, start a relationship or take a trip.

Your life path number (the most important number in numerology) is determined by adding and reducing the numbers of your birth date. For someone born on August 20, 1968, the life path number is 7.

8 + (2+0) + (1+9+6+8) = 34
3 + 4 = 7 Life Path Number

In addition to the in-depth personal information your date of birth provides, each day of the calendar year contains Universal Numbers that have an affect on everyone. For projects in which you require the cooperation of others, it is helpful to consider Universal Numbers.

The Universal Year Number for 2006 is the number 8. Eight governs a polarity of material success or failure, making lessons pertaining to material success or failure available to everyone. Where numerology gets more complex is in looking at the relationships between numbers. If you have a 5 life path number (5 is the number of constructive freedom), this may be in conflict with the structure and drive of the 8. Similarly, there will be numbers within your own personal chart that produce harmonious or discordant combinations—helping to point out your strengths and growth areas.
