The life number shows which tasks our life path has in store for us and which positive characteristics we were given at birth.
Our characteristics and the tasks that await us in life have an enormous influence on how our life progresses and what opportunities are open to us in life. How we master and live out these tasks and characteristics, however, is up to us.
The number 8, for example, stands for status, power and wealth. A person with this life number, will try in his life to fulfill these attributes and aligns his life accordingly to power, status and wealth. Whether this is done in the role of a politician, manager, head of a family, or gangster boss, is up to each person and depends on very individual influences.
The striving for power, status and wealth does not remain naturally without consequences. Thus people with the life number 8 often have to fight with relationship problems or a low self-esteem. A position of power also tempts people to abuse this power and use it for selfish purposes or against fellow human beings.
