As a result I used astro-numerology by finding places where 8 holds positions of power. Like the 8th lunar phase, 8 solar phase, 8th sign , the planet in 8th position and star.

8 lunar= people born in this part are truthful and compassionate, religious and experts in their field.

8 solar = people are determined and focused and wealthy. But one shouldn't leave one's spouse alone with this person.

8th sign= fate, karma, death and inheritance, secrets and enemies. This is why hear stories of mysterious family secrets revolving around money and inheritance. Mostly it represents obstacles to progress. This is scorpio if he was to be a planet then saturn fits.

Planet or dragon head = 8th position is same as saturn.

8th star= great fortune and splendour= Jupiter. This means that the 8th star gives results identical to Jupiter.

How do you find this out? My life path number is 8, it is my favorite number and it comes up alot in life.
