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 specialndate due to all the sevens. We were quoted innthree separate American newspaper articles nabout 7-7-07.

We may have disappointed some people withnour perspective about 7-7-2007 since we don’tnconsider it a special date as reflected by thenassociated, in-depth number patterns.

While the year 2007 includes a seven, it’s notnpurely a seven vibration: 2+0+0+7 = 9. Thus,nthe date is really 7-7-9. Also, the 9 and 2000nof 2007 carry more weight than the 7.

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

7-7-2005 (7-7-7) includes more seven energynthan 7-7-2007 (7-7-9) on this key level.nn(see this article for more information about thennumber 7:
http://www.howisyourlovelife.com/July22nd2005.htm).nnThe Chinese place a lot of importance on thennumber eight. They largely associate it withnprosperity.

Although superstition too often prevails in manyncultures, we believe eight does symbolically havensome advantages over other numbers, especially innrelation to control, m.o.n.e.y, power, and status.

The Beijing Olympic Games are scheduled to startnon 8-8-2008, at 08:08:08 pm China Standard Timenin Beijing.

Here is some information about the number eightnfrom our Numerology Decoder software n(http://www.howisyourlovelife.com/num_dcdr_software.htm):nn--------------------------------------------nNumber Symbolism

Under-balanced 8 energy: passive, vulnerable, fearful, ninsecure, avoids power and m.o.n.e.y, poor judgment, gives npersonal power away, shortsighted.
--------------------------------------------

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

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

This next part of the analysis of 8-8-2008 gets anlittle more complicated, but we’ve simplified it asnmuch as possible. Although many layers ofnindicators (natal and predictive) exist in ourncomprehensive numerology charting systems,ndirectly below we’ve linked a page that displaysnsome of the more basic ones that are in the generalnnumerology outline of our Numerology Decode
software.

Notice the heavy amount of seven in the uprightnand inverted pyramid formation at the top right sidenof this page:
http://www.holisticmakeover.com/Beijing2008OlympicGames.pdfnn(Note: we substituted “ti,” t = 20th letter of alphabetnand i = 9th letter to = 29, for the “xxix” part of the n“Games of the xxix Olympiad” as it translates better nin 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 andnunder-balanced seven energy. More informationnfrom our Numerology Decoder software is below.nn--------------------------------------------

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

Plenty of 16/7 energy (e.g., 8+8=16/7, 7+9=16/7)nexists in the date 8-8-2008, which is a firm sign ofnthe following and other challenges: hypocrisy,nsuperficiality, painful collapse of ego-self ideals,nrise in status leading to eventual collapse, scandal,nintense pride, and self-righteousness. More aboutnthe number 16 and other Karmic Debt Numbersnhere:

Unfortunately, the comprehensive charts, beyondnwhat we display linked above, also predominantlynreflect challenging patterns.

On a positive note, the “Life Path” (the mostnimportant basic calculation in modern numerology)nof 8-8-2008 is indeed eight (8+8+1=17/8), so atnleast the desire for eight is fulfilled potently thatnway (along with the day of eight and the mino
symbolic influence of the 08 of 2008). It’snunfortunate though that there’s so much maleficnseven associated with the date.

Additionally, the official starting time of thenBeijing 2008 Olympics (opening ceremony)nincludes some unsavory astrological considerations,nincluding the following: Sun in a weak house;
Moon in Scorpio (opposite of it being exaltedni
Taurus); Satu
opposing the Ascendant; thenAscendant ruler (Jupiter as ruler of Piscesnaccording to ancient astrology) is retrograden(modern ruler, Neptune, is in a weak house--12th);nsecondary ruler of Ascendant (Venus) is with
Saturn; and Mercury is in a weak house.

The lesson here is that it’s important to embracena comprehensive approach with numerology and nastrology, and preferably use them together, asna surface approach easily yields unwanted and,nor erroneous results.

Although we would have chosen a different startndate and time for the Olympics, we accept thatnhowever it came about, fate is fate and it was nmeant to be that way. Besides, the symbolism ndoesn’t suggest total doom and hopefully the ngames will go smoothly without any majo
problems, aside from the on-going politicalnissue (Tibet) and recent earthquake.
