Personal Year Number 8: Karma
Career
The Personal Year Number represents the tendencies and trends which impact your work path and career choices. It indicates your strong potential for a specific career path. Although it is not a guarantee of success as there are other (larger) cycles and factors to take into account, if you put in the effort, the chances of you progressing and flourishing in these careers are higher.
Career Advice for Personal Year Number 8
In Personal Year Number 8, the emphasis is to take stock of what needs to be retained, discarded and improved upon, and also to tie up loose ends. You may feel that you are regressing in your career path and things at work seem to be routinely repetitive. However, this can be turned into something positive as it gives you the opportunity to revisit information that you may have overlooked, which can now be used to help in your current career or future work. Essentially, the energy of Number 8 is associated with the quality of ‘will’, and you will find that your will to succeed drives you to achieve your goals this year.
Number 8 is also associated with finance and you may place a lot of focus on making money this year. You will either immerse yourself in hard work to make more money or just think and talk about getting rich without actually doing anything about it. In addition, money itself is energy and how you handle this energy determines whether you make money or not. For example, if you just hoard your money in the bank, it will lead to stagnating energy which can affect the other areas of your life.
The energy of Number 8 also has a spiritual and physical element, thus you will be able to better balance these various aspects of your working life.
Personal Year Number 8 may influence you to be more bullish and you will find yourself demonstrating your personal power this year by asserting yourself more at work, including making demands for a pay rise and so forth. However, you must avoid bullying your way to success to avoid negative repercussions.
With the energy of Number 8, you may choose to work as a bookkeeper, accountant, financial director or administrator.
Health
The importance of health is not just physical, but also mental and spiritual. Good health requires a balance of mind, body and spirit, but achieving this delicate balance is usually easier said than done. One could be free from physical sickness yet suffer from severe depression. In short, illness is an indication that the three components (body, mind and spirit) are out of sync and there are life issues which must be addressed. Thus, knowing the health trends associated with your Personal Year Number will give you a better insight into the factors that influence your overall wellbeing.
Health Advice for Personal Year Number 8
The key emphasis with the Personal Year Number 8 is karma and this relates to the need to evaluate your health routines for the past seven years to take stock of what needs to be continued, stopped and improved upon. The Number 8 gives you the willpower to follow through on your decisions.
The influence of Number 8 makes you take yourself seriously and you can be stubborn on certain matters. Thus, you must be aware of this attitude, keep yourself in check and change for the better.
You can capitalise on the energy of Number 8, which is associated with the mind, to focus on positive thoughts to influence your overall health. You can also leverage on the energy of Number 8 to build up your inner and outer strength. This strength will help you deal with your past so that you can move on to become healthier and happier.
It is possible that you may become unwell when revisiting past situations, as they can bring back old memories which you would rather leave buried. But by enduring these difficulties, you are exhausting some of your negative karma. The nature of karma is such that you reap what you have sowed in the past. Whilst having to deal with it now might be tough, it is better in the long run and enables you to let go and grow spiritually stronger. At the very least, the illnesses help you release the stress associated with these situations.
Other health concerns to look out for are constipation when you are holding on to something, and diarrhoea when you are letting go.
Relationships
The Personal Year Number reveals the potentials, challenges and qualities of your relationship that may develop during that given cycle. By understanding the various effects of the nine Personal Year cycles, you will be able to face your relationship challenges with more clarity.
Relationship Advice for Personal Year Number 8
In Personal Year Number 8, the key emphasis is karma and the experiences you have accumulated over the last seven years will now manifest through the energy of karma. In essence, karma is the law of cause and effect, and its effects are evident in all your relationships.
If you really observe your past actions and the resulting effects, you will have the opportunity to learn from your mistakes. For example, if you are rather irresponsible and you usually don’t fulfil your promises, you may experience the same thing coming back to you. However, once you have learnt your lesson, you can move on instead of repeating the same mistakes again.
You can only learn the lesson of karma by accepting responsibility. Karma also works on a planetary level and your relationship can be influenced by the collective consciousness of you and your partner, especially during the Personal Year Number 8.
This year, you may cut off ties with people who no longer serve you in terms of life lessons to free up your bandwidth. You may also come to realise that there are people who make a big difference in your life although you may not always be near them. This means that you have a strong karmic connection with them and may have life changing experiences together, which are very powerful for your personal development.
The dynamics of your relationship may change this year. On one hand, you may find it easier to stand up for yourself and regain control of your relationship. On the other hand, you may become too controlling due to your insecurities. You must learn to relax and go with the flow so that you can be more at ease with yourself.
