Life Path Number 8, Mercury Sign in Aries

Life Path Number 8

The Life Path 8 is all about personal empowerment. The 8 is a testament of strength and is able to overcome hurdles in their life. They love to involve their willpower and test their physical strength in order to achieve. One thing the Life Path Eight will need to do is learn balance in their life. They can not get everything they want be sheer will, and they will need to learn how to be patient in order to get the proper results. The 8 needs to learn love, and have less fear that their material needs will not be met. The 8 is a sponge when it comes to absorbing new information about the world, and they are at their best when they are sharing this information freely with others which allows others to navigate the world in a similar way to them. The 8 works best when they approach the world in an authoritative way, but not in a way that just blatantly dominates people. They need to have a healthy approach to fear. They may believe they have no fear, but this is a lack of self awareness. When they realize they have fear, but choose to act anyway, the 8 becomes a very unstoppable force. The 8 will make many friends along the way, and will hopefully develop enough tact to be the strong and reliable one that others lean on.
