How to Calculate Your Destiny Number

Numerologists can use your birth name or your date of birth to calculate the numbers in your Numerology chart.

In most cases, numerologists calculate your destiny number by adding up the individual digits in your birth date until they can be reduced to a root number.

Someone who was born on June 2, 1980 would work out their destiny number like this:

6 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 0 = 26
2 + 6 = 8

Adding all of the digits in the birth date we got 26. We then combined the remaining digits until we came to root number 8.

The Meaning of Destiny Number 8

The number 8 is made up of two fours, which is the number of mastery over things in the material world.

The energy of number four is all about getting things done and creating tangible outcomes on the material plane.

The energy of destiny number 8 therefore is twice that of number four. Those with a destiny number of 8 build things that endure for a long time.

Whether it is actual buildings, bridges or roads, or something less tangible like companies and organizations, when your destiny number is 8 your life path and your goal in life will be concerned with building things.

Destiny number 8 is both a number of power and a number of balance.

In fact, you may say that the primary challenge in the life of someone on the 8 life path is balancing spiritual and material concerns.

This balance comes in the area of legal matters where material concerns and spiritual ideas like justice intersect.

Career Path for Destiny Number 8

Destiny number 8 is known as the number of power. Those who have a connection to this energy are professionally and financially very successful.

Though the 8 life path number is often associated with building, it does not literally mean that those who have this vibration working in their lives will be involved in construction.

Generally, careers in business and law are most common, including management, banking and government.

Symbolic Meanings and Destiny Number 8

The number 8 has become associated with two different Tarot cards — Strength and Justice.

In The Rider-Waite version of the Tarot, the 8th Major Arcana card is Strength; but in the traditional Marseilles deck, which predates the Rider-Waite Deck, the 8th Major Arcana card is Justice.

The Rider-Waite deck has become one of the most popular versions of the Tarot, but Arthur Edward Waite never gave an explanation for why he transposed these two cards.

Just a glance at the numerological meaning of the number 8, however, gives us clues about a hidden unity at work.

In Numerology, the number 8 is a number of power and balance. The strength card illustrates power and determination.

The Enchantress pictured on that card is holding the mouth of a lion closed.

It takes inestimable strength and will to do this.

The Justice card, on the other hand, illustrates the property of balance. A robed lady Justice holds the archetypal scales of justice on which the laws governing our material lives are precariously balanced.

In the other hand she holds a sword indicative of the often painful lessons that justice brings.

Destiny number 8 is symbolically related to both of these images and you can use either image to illuminate the details of your life path. Either image will have a lot to teach you as you seek your own deeper purpose in life.
