The Eight of Hearts Person:  "Emotional power" is the most obvious attribute suggested by your card. Whether this will translate into "The Power of Love" will largely depend on what you call love. If love is synonymous with sex, your emotional drive may urge you to pursue your romantic fantasies through one relationship after another. If you will accept the responsibility of the power symbolized in this card and combine it with your inherent idealism, you should find that your charm and charisma win you friends and allies and allow you to be adept at dealing with groups, too.  You have the power in your love to overcome all obstacles in relationships, to heal the sick, and the ability to bring peace and harmony where there is strife and disagreement.

As an eight you may have to learn to resist the temptation to use power tactics, to bully your way through. There are times when you may succumb to being manipulative or being heavy-handed. You may achieve some objectives this way, but you are likely to accomplish far more through the use of your charming nature and loving understanding. Your magnetic personality attracts many people to you and as a Heart you thrive on people-involvement. Keep this in mind when choosing occupations and prime interests.

The Eight of Clubs Person:  Eight is the number of power, the Club suit merges this power with the mind, making your card the symbol of "mental power." You have the ability to focus your mind with laser-beam accuracy. When you aim to achieve what you set your sights on, you stay with it until you succeed.  You're used to overcoming many obstacles and a good memory is your forte.

Yours is one of three fixed cards. The others being the King of Spades and the Jack of Hearts. You are likely to have a strong affinity with individuals identified with these cards. The fixed cards can be indicative of strength. But they can also imply a fixed, stubborn nature, which may fail to grow due to its own inflexibility. For this reason, it is very important that your thinking be based on a reasoning knowledge rather than opinionated feelings. Guard against the temptation to indulge in mental gymnastics and arguments as a sort of perverse pleasure. Of all the cards, those who are identified with this card are the most likely to be tempted to play the part of the "Devil's advocate."

Since almost all of your cards fall under the auspicious influence of Jupiter in the Jupiter line, yours is considered to be one of the most fortunate of all the life patterns shown in the cards. This underlying protection may be the source of your greatest challenge, in that, allowing you to get by without really trying, you may fail to develop the strength of character needed to bring out the potential greatness implied in your card.

The Eight of Diamonds Person:  The Diamond suit brings the power of your Eight to the realm of values. Too often those whose birthdays identify them with this card only recognize its force as a power in material values. But the displaced Queen of Spades in the indicates that there is also a subtle, spiritual power hidden in this card. One of the most significant factors about your card and its influence on you is its placement in the top center position of the Crown line (see Figure 1). For this reason, your card has become identified as the symbol of the Sun. This amplifies the power implied in your card and the variety of expression through which you can demonstrate this power. While the potential that this suggests is tremendous, so is the responsibility. Abuse this power through being overly dominant, or through being obsessed with material acquisition and you will know the emptiness of those whose criteria of success is only measured in gold and power.

Although you have the power to overcome most obstacles, as an eight the potential opportunity symbolized in this card will probably require a great deal of effort from you. While many identified with this card do realize the fame and success embodied in their Sun Card, the true greatness implied here does not necessarily require that you be the richest or the greatest. Only that you accept the responsibility of blending the spiritual and material power represented in your card into a constructive influence in the lives that you touch.

The Eight of Spades Person:  Although your card is most commonly identified as the symbol of power through labor, this certainly does not necessarily limit this expression of power to that which is accomplished through the "sweat of the brow." True, this card usually implies hard work, but as associated with the Spade suit, this Eight also suggests a productive power through the expression of spiritual energies and the application of higher wisdom. Since this card occupies the Saturn position as both a Birth Card and a Displaced Card, it's fortunate that it also implies that you have the potential strength to cope with the challenges suggested by this planetary influence. To the unenlightened, this may bring burdensome tasks which are primarily accomplished through grim determination and physical energy. Their criteria of success being based purely on material and monetary achievements. Unfortunately, an ability to do exceptionally well in mundane matters may minimize your efforts to develop the higher octave of your power.

The tremendous energies symbolized in your card suggest that you can overcome just about any obstacle, which also implies that you may have a significant potential for healing. In this respect, whether it be through the conventional channels of healing, or through metaphysical practices, you might be particularly effective in activities related to health.  While the Eight of Spades suggests that you have the brawn, your displaced King of Clubs shows that you also have the brains.
