The Number "8"

The number 8 stands in symbolism for the Planet Saturn. This number influences all persons born on the 8th, 17th, or 26th in any month, but still more so if their birthday comes between the 21st December and the 26th January, which period is called the House of Saturn (Positive), and from the 26tp. January to February
19th-26th, the period called the House of Saturn (Negative).

These people are invariably much misunderstood in their lives, and perhaps for this reason they feel intensely lonely at heart.

General Characteristics
These people are invariably much misunderstood in their lives, and perhaps for this reason they feel intensely lonely at heart.

They have deep and very intense natures, great strength of individuality; they generally play some important role on life's stage, but usually one which is fatalistic, or as the instrument of Fate for others.

If at all religious they go to extremes and are fanatics in their zeal. In any cause they take up, they attempt to carry it through in spite of all argument or opposition, and in doing so they generally make bitter and relentless enemies. They often appear cold and undemonstrative, though in reality they have warm hearts towards the oppressed, of all classes; but they hide their feelings and allow people to think just what they please.

These number 8 people are either great successes or great failures; there appears to be no happy medium in their case.

If ambitious, they generally aim for public life or government responsibility of some kind, and often hold very high positions involving great sacrifice on their part. It is not, however, from a worldly standpoint, a fortunate number to be born under, and such persons often are called on to face the very greatest sorrows, losses, and humiliations.

Favorable Dates & Days
The number 8 being a Saturn number, Saturday is therefore their most important day, but on account of the number 4 having influence on a Sunday and in a secondary way on a Monday, the number 8 people will find Saturday, Sunday, and Monday their most important days.
Number 8 people should endeavour to carry out their plans and aims on all days that fall under their" own number," such as the 8th, 17th, or 26th in any month, but more especially so when these dates fall in the" period of the 8," namely, from the 21st December to January 20th-27th, and from that date to February 19th-26th; also if these dates fall on a Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, or their interchangeable number, which is 4, such as the 4th, 13th, 22nd, or 31st.

Lucky Colors and Jewels
The" lucky" colours for people born under the 8 are all shades of dark grey, black, dark blue, and purple. If number 8 persons were to dress in light colours they would look awkward, and as if there were something wrong with them.
Their "lucky" stones are the amethyst and the dark toned sapphire, also the black pearl or the black diamond, and if possible they should wear one of these next their skin.
