If you have a combination of 4-7, meaning the first digit is 4 and the second is 7, you need to combine the material with the spiritual. If a person develops only materially, in the second half of life, karma may compel them to engage in the spiritual through various situations in their lives. If the first digit is 7 and the second is 4, one must not forget the material. The best option is to maintain a balance between the spiritual and material throughout life.
To transition harmoniously into the second digit, preparation is necessary. The opportunities of the second digit develop well if there was some work on this in the first half of life.

Characteristics and Karmic Tasks for Those with Soul Number or Destiny Number 8
This number is governed by the planet Saturn, known as Shani in Vedic mythology. Shani was not well-liked because when he arrived somewhere, something unpleasant would occur. Shani would walk with his head down to avoid looking at people (so as not to bring karmic gaze). Similarly, people with the number “eight” sometimes walk in this manner. Once, when Shani looked at a newborn, the baby’s head fell off and got lost in the crowd. A head of an elephant was quickly brought and sewn onto the body of the newborn. Thus, in Vedic mythology, the god Ganesha is depicted as having the head of an elephant and the body of a human. He was very wise, gained much knowledge, and oversees astrology. Shani governs the karma of all people on the planet, watching over them, punishing them, or granting them something.
Everything that happens to “eights” carries a karmic nature. Even people with “eight” do not meet by chance. One could say that punishment comes through “eight,” but it is ultimately for good. This does not mean that the “eight” does something intentionally; it happens naturally. The karma and task of the “eight” is to put certain people in their place, show the consequences of their actions, and open others’ eyes to certain things. For instance, there are known situations where an “eight” is hired for a job. Initially, everything goes well, but after a while, that person becomes envied, and obstacles are placed in their way for unclear reasons. No amount of clarification helps. There are cases when “eights” are accused of things they did not do, such as theft. But as soon as the “eight” resigns, problems begin at the enterprise, and it may close down. In the lives of these individuals, many events carry a negative nature, but ultimately, every situation leads to something good.
“Eight” individuals may not be liked by many, and they face envy. This happens unconsciously, not understood by either the people or the “eight.” The best thing someone interacting with an “eight” can do is understand that this person brings something good. Usually, they are honest individuals. Since childhood, they notice that any bad deed they commit is punished. They cannot make mistakes or repeat errors; they carry the heaviest karma. They may experience depression. The god Shani was once a hermit. This image is also present in the “eight.” They are typically wise, responsible children but often have problems with parents and are not liked by peers. Sometimes one of the parents leaves early.
Another karmic task is to learn not to become attached to anything, to understand that everything one receives can be lost. This applies to everyone, but especially to “eights.” If a person loses something, they should try to accept it calmly and understand the reason. Throughout their lives, “eights” experience one lesson after another, and they cannot rest for long. It is beneficial when this person’s desires align with what karma wants, and they should at least try to adjust to karma’s desires if they can catch a glimpse of them. Such a person can eventually obtain what they want, but it will not always be with good consequences. Sometimes, if something does not happen, it is simply meant to be that way.
It happens that “eights” are very loved, but more often, they are not fully appreciated and are envied. It is better not to offend them; karma will handle that. Those who offend often pay the price. Usually, the “eight” understands when someone treats them or others unfairly and often tries to compensate for what they lacked in youth later in life.
When two people with Destiny Number or Soul Number 8 meet, they either love each other or hate each other and become enemies. If they get along and help each other, they can achieve a lot. However, if they are enemies, the one on the side of justice will prevail. If the “eight” develops and understands their fate correctly, they will become happier in the latter part of life. Such a person can become wealthy, as 8 is the number of millionaires, and earn it themselves. This is one of the tasks—to become rich. They also need to gain status and become an authority in their profession. “Eights” can be generous and love helping others, but they must first take care of themselves. It is essential to develop spiritually; this will serve as protection. In any case, there will always be some limitations in life, but one must never seek revenge; karma will take care of that.
The color of Saturn’s karma is black. An “eight” can use this color in clothing, especially on Saturday (the day of Saturn). The black raven is a messenger of Saturn’s karma. Therefore, it is recommended to feed ravens, especially on Saturdays, and never chase them away. There is a known story related to the Habsburg dynasty. After chasing ravens from their garden, they faced many misfortunes and calamities. The black raven appears on their coat of arms.
If a person’s “eight” is their Soul Number (relating to the first half of life), they will experience more problems during this time. The second eight makes the situation even more complex; the main thing is not to break under any circumstances, to earn more, and to invest their efforts for the good of themselves and others. Two eights signify challenges throughout life.
