8-8-08, Numerology, Astrology, And The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games

Last year many people emailed us about
7-7-07 (July 7, 2007), asking if it’s a special
date due to all the sevens. We were quoted in
three separate American newspaper articles
about 7-7-07.

We may have disappointed some people with
our perspective about 7-7-2007 since we don’t
consider it a special date as reflected by the
associated, in-depth number patterns.

While the year 2007 includes a seven, it’s not
purely a seven vibration: 2+0+0+7 = 9. Thus,
the date is really 7-7-9. Also, the 9 and 2000
of 2007 carry more weight than the 7.

The way to find the most important number
mysticism vibration of any multiple-digit
number is to add them up and reduce to a
single digit (fadic addition).

7-7-2005 (7-7-7) includes more seven energy
than 7-7-2007 (7-7-9) on this key level.

(see this article for more information about the
number 7:
http://www.howisyourlovelife.com/July22nd2005.htm).

The Chinese place a lot of importance on the
number eight. They largely associate it with
prosperity.

Although superstition too often prevails in many
cultures, we believe eight does symbolically have
some advantages over other numbers, especially in
relation to control, m.o.n.e.y, power, and status.

The Beijing Olympic Games are scheduled to start
on 8-8-2008, at 08:08:08 pm China Standard Time
in Beijing.

Here is some information about the number eight
from our Numerology Decoder software
(http://www.howisyourlovelife.com/num_dcdr_software.htm):

8: The number 8 is tied to influence, m.o.n.e.y, karma, action,
business success, business failure, control, material objects,
status, loss, gain, administration, management, ego, leadership,
power.
Balanced 8 energy: prosperous, high-powered,
commanding, stamina, self-confident, persuasive, financial
awareness, effective, ambitious, businesslike, clear-headed,
disciplined, material freedom, honorable, enterprising.
Over-balanced 8 energy: abuses power, cold-blooded,
egotistical, overreaction to m.o.n.e.y, scheming, aggressive,
materialistic, corrupt, demanding, domineering, preoccupied
with power and m.o.n.e.y, unsympathetic, over-ambitious,
confrontational, rebellious, coarse.
Under-balanced 8 energy: passive, vulnerable, fearful,
insecure, avoids power and m.o.n.e.y, poor judgment, gives
personal power away, shortsighted.
--------------------------------------------

As indicated above, eight can represent great
rewards, yet it can also symbolize huge challenges,
depending on the rest of the indicators in the charts.

The date 8-8-2008 is really, on the most important
fundamental, numerological level, 8-8-1 (2+0+0+8
=10, 1+0=1).

This next part of the analysis of 8-8-2008 gets a
little more complicated, but we’ve simplified it as
much as possible. Although many layers of
indicators (natal and predictive) exist in our
comprehensive numerology charting systems,
directly below we’ve linked a page that displays
some of the more basic ones that are in the general
numerology outline of our Numerology Decoder
software.

Notice the heavy amount of seven in the upright
and inverted pyramid formation at the top right side
of this page:

(Note: we substituted “ti,” t = 20th letter of alphabet
and i = 9th letter to = 29, for the “xxix” part of the
“Games of the xxix Olympiad” as it translates better
in the software.)

That’s a lot of hidden seven energy in the date
8-8-2008, and it’s not very favorable seven energy.
It’s a hefty combination of over-balanced and
under-balanced seven energy. More information
from our Numerology Decoder software is below.

7: The number 7 is connected to mysticism, intuition,
inner growth, examination, study, analysis, reflection,
lowered physical vitality, increased mental activity,
conserving assets, planning, attracting unsolicited help,
specialization, solitude, health issues, travel.

wavelength, intellectual, clairvoyant, analytical, perceptive,
scientific, exact, meditative, mystical, expert, bookish,
poised, telepathic, visionary, deep, dreamer, instinctive,
reflective, truth-seeker, studious, wise.

paranoid, indecisive, secretive, repressed emotions,
distrustful, guarded, intimidating, fussy, evasive, fanatic,
self-conscious, secretive, perfectionist, impersonal,
pessimistic.

too trusting, empty-headed, mystified, superficial, lack of

--------------------------------------------

Plenty of 16/7 energy (e.g., 8+8=16/7, 7+9=16/7)
exists in the date 8-8-2008, which is a firm sign of
the following and other challenges: hypocrisy,
superficiality, painful collapse of ego-self ideals,
rise in status leading to eventual collapse, scandal,
intense pride, and self-righteousness. More about
the number 16 and other Karmic Debt Numbers

Unfortunately, the comprehensive charts, beyond
what we display linked above, also predominantly
reflect challenging patterns.

On a positive note, the “Life Path” (the most
important basic calculation in modern numerology)
of 8-8-2008 is indeed eight (8+8+1=17/8), so at
least the desire for eight is fulfilled potently that
way (along with the day of eight and the minor
symbolic influence of the 08 of 2008). It’s
unfortunate though that there’s so much malefic
seven associated with the date.

Additionally, the official starting time of the
Beijing 2008 Olympics (opening ceremony)
includes some unsavory astrological considerations,
including the following: Sun in a weak house;
Moon in Scorpio (opposite of it being exalted
in Taurus); Saturn opposing the Ascendant; the
Ascendant ruler (Jupiter as ruler of Pisces
according to ancient astrology) is retrograde
(modern ruler, Neptune, is in a weak house--12th);
secondary ruler of Ascendant (Venus) is with
Saturn; and Mercury is in a weak house.

The lesson here is that it’s important to embrace
a comprehensive approach with numerology and
astrology, and preferably use them together, as
a surface approach easily yields unwanted and,
or erroneous results.

Although we would have chosen a different start
date and time for the Olympics, we accept that
however it came about, fate is fate and it was
meant to be that way. Besides, the symbolism
doesn’t suggest total doom and hopefully the
games will go smoothly without any major
problems, aside from the on-going political
issue (Tibet) and recent earthquake.
