• This person perseveres when others quit.
• He or she does these things in the spiritual realm and material world as well.

The downside for a strong number 8 is being overly aggressive and losing their temper. All too often the person for whom numerology number 8 vibrates most strongly wishes to be in authority and to maintain that status at all costs. When he sees things that he does not like, cannot control or finds different from his basic beliefs, he lacks tolerance and gets very frustrated.

A very strong number 8 is powerful but does not tolerate whole groups of people as well as specific individuals. And, he or she may be intolerant of things about society and humanity in general. This leads to a perpetual dissatisfaction that makes life difficult for a strong number 8, but he or she tends to move on because the ultimate goal is to be in charge and to be seen by others as being in authority.

• Many folks for whom number resonates strongly make fantastic leaders and have impressive people skills and the confidence to make decisions and drive things forward.
• If this person lets their ego get the better of them, his or her unmoving and recalcitrant nature often make life difficult for everyone.
• While he makes an excellent leader with wonderful people skills and the confidence to succeed, if he lets his ego grow too large for his body, he could be too unmoving and insistent that his way is best.
• To be most successful, a number 8 needs to learn to listen to others and be open to discussion. When he goes too far, he is seen as a little dictator and people will “rise up” against him making his need to be in control more difficult.

Another strong aspect of numerology number 8 is that the number is extremely masculine, although it affects both genders. This is seen in the tendency to produce powerful leaders. However, the world has seen many great female leaders, so this quality is certainly not limited to the guys.

Because the cube root of 8 is numerology number 2, 8s tend to have many qualities of the helpful number 2 as well as the prime leadership qualities of numerology number 1. This mostly plays out in their better understanding of human nature.

If a strong 8 lets this trait develop, they are always a more effective, and long-lasting leader.
