8-8-8: Urban legend, or special day? A numerologist speaks out on the subject.
Canada (Press Release) August 6, 2008 --
Remember all the hoopla last year over 7-7-7? And 666 the previous year?
I hate to ruin the party, but in numerology the sum of the day, month and year are used to calculate the numerical value for a given day. To obtain the numerological value of 8-8-8, first reduce the values of the day, month and year to single digits, then take the sum of these three digits.
In this case, we have 8 (August) + 8 (8th day) + 1 (2+0+0+8=10, which reduces to 1). Taking the sum of the 3 digits: 8 + 8 + 1 = 17, now reduce the 17 to a single digit: 1 + 7, which gives 8. So, August 8 2008 actually reduces to a number 8.
Using the same approach, we will find that any numbers that reduce to 8-8-1 will result in the number 8, such as August 26 2008, August 17 2008, August 26 1981, and on and on… Of course there are many other possible combinations that result in a number 8: July 9 2008, etc…
The numeric value of one day gives the universal value for that day, and unless you are born on that day or starting a business or planning an event with long term projections, by itself, it really does not mean very much. If the numeric value of one day had global significance, then the day of a tsunami in one part of the world should result in the same catastrophic event everywhere in the world. Which we know is not the case.
The number 8 is associated with all things that pertain to business: money, vision, power and worldly and material success. Before you start a business on August 8 2008, which at first glance might appear like a great day, given all that promise of power and money, you might want to take the time to dig a little deeper. Those familiar with the first Pinnacle Number will notice a number 16/7 influence covering the first 28 years of the life of the business/project. 16/7 is among the numbers that are the least conducive to material success, which might indicate struggle and difficulty in achieving financial and material success, at least in the early years.
A final point that needs to be made here is that too much of a good thing may not, in the end, be a good thing. As in most projects, business in particular, a well rounded pool of available resources is essential to sustained and real growth. An excess of number 8 energy can result in an overly competitive, insensitive and overly materialist approach. In order to ensure the success of your business project, you would want to include some number 2 and 6, for harmonious relationships, 4 for sustained effort, maybe 7 if you require research, 1 and 5 for innovation and creativity and 9 for universal appeal. Bottom line: a good blend.
Just as a matter of interest, those couples who spent four times the usual rates to marry on July 7 07 actually married on a day that had the same numeric value as September 11 01. Hmmmm. As in all things, be reasonable.
As for urban legends, they only have the power that people give them!
