Angel numbers can come in all shapes and sizes. You can find angel numbers that are a single digit or ones that have anything from 2 to 6 or so digits.
There are no rules to how many digits an angel number could have, but there is significance to the number. Angel number 8 is at the start of this scale, and this does mean something.
This means that the power of this number is concentrated, and your angels want you to direct your focus on the message. 8 is a number that tells you of prosperity ahead.
Many think this will mean money or material gains, but it can be more complicated than that. Allow me to explain as we proceed!
Your Angels Are Sending You A Message With 8
Some angel numbers are based on self discovery, and they can be used as a reflective message that helps you with your own inner growth.
Others are more of an alert to something that will be happening in your life, and that is what angel number 8 is focused on.
This number tells you that you will have the potential for some kind of positive gain in the near future.
When I have told people this before, they assume that it means they will win the lottery or find a big pile of money in their front yard. It’s interesting to me that people always think of money when it comes to prosperity.
Of course, it’s understandable. Money is the most literal metric for wealth and prosperity, and everyone could use more money in their lives.
I can’t imagine that you would find many people who would say “No thanks!” if you were to offer them a sum of money. Some people think that putting any kind of significance on money is a bad thing.
I don’t really agree with that, as money is important in life, whether we like it or not. However, I don’t think that money should be all that matters in your life.
Prosperity comes in many forms, and you need to be open to this fact. There is a reason that you see rich actors and businesspeople that are depressed and unfulfilled.
On the other hand, some of the happiest people you will meet may not have much money. However, you can also have your life be much worse if you don’t have the money you need.
So as with all things, balance is important. Prosperity will be something different to each person, and this blessing your angels see for your life could be any of these forms of prosperity.
It certainly could be a financial windfall, but try not to be focused on this possibility but instead open yourself up to all possibilities. You also don’t want to be disappointed if it’s not what you were expecting.
It could be prosperity in the form of love and connections, or you could find yourself fulfilled in a creative aspect of your life. Whatever form it takes, your angels have seen an opportunity in your life, and you need to be ready for it.
A big part of that is by getting rid of any assumptions or preconceived notions. I will talk about how you can do that in more detail in the next section.
Never Do This If You Keep Seeing 8
The message of an angel number is usually subtle and, at times, even cryptic. This is a good and a bad thing in different ways.
I think it’s good, because it makes you have a closer connection to your angels as you work with them to decipher the message for your life.
It can be bad if you decide what it means without doing the work to analyze it.
Anyone who knows about the numerology of angel numbers knows that 8 is associated with prosperity.
So, when I have told clients what 8 could mean for their life, I can practically see the cartoon signs on their eyes.
I always try to reinforce that it may not have to do with money, but that is not enough to deter some people. It’s a shame, because it can result in missing out on the full blessing your angels have for you.
That’s why it’s important to be open minded about what prosperity opportunities could open up for you. What are the things that you think are most important in life?
Everyone’s answer will be different, but there are some common answers that a lot of people will use. Some will say family, friends, success and yes, even wealth.
For me, I like to think of the things that give me the most happiness in life. I love being around people who are important to me, and I also like to explore my creative interests.
Naturally, spirituality is also super important to me, and I take great joy in learning more about my own spirituality and that of others around me as well.
So, for me, prosperity could involve any of those things. Financial gains would be used to further any of these things that bring me happiness in life.
I always think that money should be used to make your life more enriched. Once you have taken care of obligations, I think you should use any disposable income on things which bring you joy.
Hoarding money and caring only about the numbers in your bank account won’t bring you lasting joy or fulfillment. But how can you find out what prosperity will mean to you?
Angel number 8 can also be a part of a journey to finding what you value most in life, but I will cover that in the final section of this guide.
The Hidden Meaning Behind 8 Angel Number
The primary focus of this angel number is a sign that an opportunity is ahead of you. As I have covered, this could be something that has to do with money or material possessions.
However, as I mentioned before, you need to keep your mind open to these possibilities. Instead of forming an idea about what it could be, simply be open to the possibilities.
Angel number 8 may be about opportunities, but it’s also an opportunity to learn more about yourself. We can get so lost in the day to day struggles of our lives that we lose perspective.
When I started out in my career many years ago, all I cared about was how to advance as quickly as possible and how to get to a point where I could earn tons of money.
I didn’t care about whether the work was enriching my life or my spirit at all, and money became my main focus. Again, I’m not saying that striving for money is a bad thing.
We all want to be comfortable in life and to be able to afford some luxuries. But also try to figure out what else makes your life prosperous.
Going for a walk and smelling a pretty flower could be the highlight of your day, and it costs nothing! Having a coffee with a friend and sharing a laugh costs almost nothing.
On the other hand, taking a big expensive trip to a faraway land can be equally enriching. Riches come from small and big things in life, and they all have value.
If you find enrichment in the big and small things of life, then you can find fulfillment coming from so many sources. You will find that prosperity can come in a much wider range than you may think!
That’s why you need to be open to all of the possibilities of this number for your life.
If you do that, then you may find that you will have something absolutely incredible in your life that you never would have imagined would make such a difference.
If the blessing ends up relating to something that you hadn’t expected, try to be grateful and appreciate what this thing brings to your life and see how it can mean a different kind of prosperity for your life.
My Final Comments on 8 Angel Number
Something good is coming your way if you have seen angel number 8, and it’s okay to be excited about this! Just remember that while many associate 8 with money, it may be something else.
Prosperity comes in many different forms, so open your heart, mind and spirit to any possibilities in life that can enrich it.
Even if it comes in a form you didn’t expect, it will bring something amazing to your life.
If you accept this in the right way, then you may gain a whole new perspective on what really matters and makes you happy in life.
I hope that this number precedes something amazing in your life very soon!
