Because your Birth number is a 17 and thats a 8 vibation, same as mine.The"8" Life Path:
The Executive
If you get up one more time than you fall, you will make it though.
Chinese Proverb
The 8's life lesson is to establish financial security. This is not to say that 8's are materialistic. It's just that the Life Path 8 seeks the freedom that comes from being financially stable. They don't like the fact that money can be elusive, so so they find ways to keep money coming in so they'll never be without. Because of this, there alot of 8s who are millionaires-but never spend a penny of it. They'd rather keep the money in the bank, where it's safe. Then there is the other kind of 8: whenever they have money, they feel the need to spend it all.
Usally 8s tend to be drawn to the finer things in life. they like quality and often have attractive possessions-a nice home, car, etc. These possessions are reminders that everything is under control financially.
The 8 has excellent executive ability, and this is also the politician's number. It's a power number, which means that while they want control, they do hope to use it to make a positive difference in the world.
The 8 is the classic workaholic. Often, a women who is married to an 8 Life Path will get upset and tell me her husband doesn't care about her or their children. All he cares about is work. I can tell her exactly what he's thinking: "Hey, I'm trying to make things happen and achieve sme gaols so I canbe a great provider." The same goes for 8 Life Path women; they can also get too caught up in the business world. I tell my 8 Life Path clients to remember who it is they are working so hard for! They must take time to give the people in their lives enough personal attention.
As i said above, the number 8 has a dual nature. This is evident, visually, from the numberal its-elf: one circle on top of the other(8). this number is sometimes interpreted as a symbol of degeneration and regeneration; when turned on its side, it becomes the symbol of infinity. It's no surpise, then, that complete reverals are always a possibility with this number. This can be a good thing. If an 8 has made a big decision in work or personal relationship, and halfway through realizes the wrong one, it's okay to do a 180 and go the other way. Thats what the 8 must learn to do instead of staying stubbornly stuck in a bad position. I often tell my 8 clients that they're allowed to change their minds.
On the other hand, the reversals can go the opposite way. The 8 Life paths will have some different times in life. they may experience sorrow and wind up in circumstances where they feel humiliated. An example of just this sort of reveral is Martha Stewart. She worked hard, amassed a great fortune, and then one bad move toppled it all. It's no surpise that the bad decision was about money--it didn't matter that she stood to lose just a fraction of her overall fortune; as an 8 life Path she couldn't bear thethought of financial loss, no matter how small.
Lie Path 8s tend to be huge successes or major failures- often both in one life time. The 8s just need to keep their focus on any endeaver they pursue, and they will experience success. That said, 8s should remember it's important to stop and smell the roses.
It is common for a 8 Life path to be misinterpreted by others. To avoid this, the 8 must learn to be more tactful. they tend to tell the truth about what they're thinking, neglecting to edit their remarks for the larger eudience. Often they'll say something and have the other person respond with shock at how hurtful the remark was. At that point it's the 8's turn to be stunned: All they did was tell the truth. This is a very black-and-white vibration, with little room for gray areas. What I remind the 8 is that very few of us can handle the cold, harsh truth without at least a gentle preamble. It's an art form that every life Path should perfect, especially the 8. You can still say what you feel, just be careful how you say it.
The 8 Life Path considers strife and stuggle to be a normal part of life, but the one thing an 8 cannot get over is infidelity. If a partner cheats on an 8, it is best for the 8 to let that person go. It would take a supernatural effort for the 8 to over it. Even if they stay with the partner, the8 will never really be able to forgive them.
The 8 Life Path does not have much tolerance for people who feel sorry for thems-elfs. An 8 who sees someone suffer will likely say,"look,I'm sorry that happened to you. Now get up." This is ironic, since 8s often see themselves as a victim. Thats because 8 Life Paths don't get away with much in this world. If an 8 life Path wre driving five miles per hour over the speed limit and another Life Path was going twice that, the 8 would get the ticket. It's part of the reality of being an 8. The key is getting through it without taking on a " woe is me" attitude. I recommond humor to my clients. Learn to laugh at life! Rent a funny moive and surround yours-elf with amusing peple. Even listening to music that makes you happy can help ypou relax and let go- disco, jazz, whatever sets you free. Remember, these hardships are usually temporary. Life is not as overwhelming as you think. Dwelling on the negative, especially if you're an 8, can lead to deep depression. i want to keep you healthly, so I encourage you to learn to laugh as much as possible.
A good piece of news is that 8s are late bloomers. If you're an 8 Life path and you're thinking, Gosh, I wonder if I'm too old to do what i want to do, I'm here to say you are never too old. As long as you're on this planet, you can make your dreams come true.
i do cuation 8s about their health. It is not hard for them to get hurt, so they must be on the alert when driving and playing sports. Paying attention to the moment can make all the difference-I think many 8s get so caught up in their work and dreams that they don't always pay attention to the simple things that cause physical stress and trouble.
Occupations that suit the 8 include banker, stock market trader, accountant, office manager, and engineer. This Life Path also makes good cororate lawyers or judges. Many 8s go into the field of wedding planning, interior decorating and/or running nonprofit organizations. They are often physically beautiful, so modeling and acting are common career pursuits as well. Big business is a natural for the 8, like running a network or a major publishing company. If the Life path 8 has a 3, 6 0r 9 in their birth numbers, then their professions may lean towards the creative arts, perhaps in areas of live performances. Now, if you have a dream that is very different than what I've listed here, go for it! this is your life and you need to seize the moment. Keep in mind that "life is not a dress rehearal." Today is a gift. as an 8 you are always planning for the future. The future may never comr! Today is what you've got; embrace it.
