One of the cardinal numbers, the Angel Number 8 represents the forces that are at play in our lives, big and small, external and internal. The appearance of the number 8 often tries to help us understand these forces so that we can respond appropriately. More often than not, we ourselves are the source of these forces with our own actions. The number 8 is also linked to consequences, and is a reminder that all actions have consequences.
Your instincts will tell you if seeing the number 8 repeatedly is just a coincidence, or something more. You can read more about how Angel Numbers work here.
What Does Angel Number 8 Mean?
The Angel Number 8 is linked with the idea of cause and effect, and the forces at play in the world that cause events. It is the idea of a butterfly flapping its winds in the amazon causing cyclones in Europe.
It often brings our attention to forces playing a significant role in our lives that we have not properly recognized. These may be external forces, but more often, they are something within ourselves, and we aren’t properly understanding what is driving us.
In the Tarot deck, the number 8 is linked with the Devil card. This is not a bad omen. But this card reminds us that actions have consequences, and where we are today is a result of our own actions in the past. We carry the responsibility, and we have the power to change the future.
One of the cardinal numbers (which include the digits 0-9), seeing it in isolation can be a more resonant message than seeing a series of the digit, for example in the Angel Number 888.
Angel Number 8 Messages
Whenever you see an Angel Number, you should use your intuition to interpret it’s meaning for your based on your circumstances, challenges, and perspective. But below are some examples of what the Angel Number 8 might be trying to tell you.
You need to take responsibility
The Angel Number 8 will often show up when we are blaming others or circumstances for our current situation.
While many forces have led us to where we are today, the most potent forces in our lives are the actions we choose to take and the attitudes we choose to assume.
Our attitude and response to external forces usually have a much greater influence on our existence that the force itself.
This is not meant as a rebuke. It is rather a reminder of the power that we have to shape our lives in the way that we wish.
The number 8 calls on us to take on responsibility for our past and where we are now. Recognize the power that we have, and use it to shape the future that we desire.
Understand what you can and can’t control
The 8 Angel Number will also often appear when we are fighting to resolve or understand a situation.
It suggests that you need to understand where you have power and where you do not. You need to understand what you can’t change, and what you can.
It suggests finding a way to accept the things that are unchangeable, and focus on your energy on the things that are within in your control.
This is the way to steer your life forward. Don’t rage against the machine, use the power that you do have to make a difference where it matters most.
Identify what you are willing to sacrifice
A lot of people have dreams and talk about what they want out of life, but few people achieve them. This because they are not willing to make the necessary sacrifices to get to where they need to be.
Seeing the number 8 reminds you that everything has a cost. At this moment, you need to focus on identifying what you need to give up.
The level of sacrifice that you are willing to make is the clearest measure of how serious you are about your dreams.
Often the first step in making the necessary sacrifice is identifying what exactly it is. Once a clear decision has been made, you will find it much easier to do what needs to be done.
Angel Number 8 Meaning for Love
When it comes to love, the Angel Number 8 will often appear when you have lost hope.
Perhaps you have separated with someone recently, you have been along for a while, or you are feeling stagnant in a relationship.
It reassures you that there is new love, or the hope of a new chapter within a relationship, in your future.
But in order for this to happen, you need to be open to it. Perhaps you have shut down for a reason. You need to work on opening yourself back up so that you can attract new love into your life.
Angel Number 8 Meaning for Spiritual Life
When it comes to spirituality, the Angel Number 8 suggests that you are at a crossroads of some sort.
Whatever decision you make next is going to have a significant impact on the direction that your life takes for its next phase. The number 8 reminds you to choose wisely, and not mortgage your future for immediate gratification.
What To Do When You See Angel Number 8
The number 8 reminds us that our lives are the sum of the choices that we make. We are responsible for where we are in the world today.
But this reminds us of the incredible power that we have to shape our own lives, and empowers us to take control of the future.
