Tools for the 8: Redefining Power from the Inside Out
Theme: Owning your worth without needing to prove it. Leading from alignment, not control.
Whether 8 appears as your Life Path, Soul Urge, Expression, or Birthday Number (8, 17, or 26), this number carries the energy of ambition, strength, and material mastery. But the deeper work of the 8 is about reclaiming your sense of power—not through force or achievement, but through presence, integrity, and inner alignment.
