Eight of Clubs

The Eight of Clubs is one of the three fixed cards. It is endowed with enormous power of mind, and it is very hard to persuade it to take another's point of view. Eights of Clubs often become good lawyers. But they are also very capable in other areas of intellectual activity. Quite a few famous chemists, rocket designers and nuclear physicists were born under the influence of this card. In principle the Eight of Clubs is able to grasp any field of knowledge. The life path of the Eight of Clubs is smooth and pleasant. They can achieve almost anything if they set themselves a clear goal. Many Eights of Clubs easily reach wealth and fame. But they need to see to it that their life flows in balance. For success they need mental and emotional calm. Eights of Clubs have great psychic energy and can become great healers. Any of the Eight of Clubs' talents can make them famous, and for their life to be full of successful accomplishments and happiness, they only need to be clearly aware of their goals. But such stability has certain shortcomings too. The main one is that it can be hard for the Eight of Clubs to adapt to a changing situation. Their concepts, ideas and principles are extremely inflexible. Often they are already born with a definite system of principles and do not wish to depart from it a single step. But in the life of the Eight of Clubs there will sooner or later certainly be a period (or even several periods) when they will need at all costs to make changes in their worldview. Such periods are hard, but they are a necessary part of the Eight of Clubs' karma. Having made the necessary changes in their consciousness, the Eight of Clubs will be as if reborn, becoming stronger and happier. If the Eight of Clubs joins forces with a Jack of Hearts or a King of Spades in their work for the good of humanity, very successful and long-term results are possible. For greater success one needs to realise that this work is more important than personal wishes.

Relationships of the Eight of Clubs with other people

Eights of Clubs are characterised by favourable marriage karma. Firstly, being a fixed card, the Eight of Clubs is less prone to swings of emotion than many other cards in the deck. The Four of Spades as the Venus Card also indicates that the Eight of Clubs values stability in family life too highly to trade it for love adventures. But at some point in life many Eights of Clubs are forced to live through a difficult divorce or separation from a partner. This usually happens when the partner is a representative of the Diamond suit. This fateful romantic destiny is part of the Eight of Clubs' karma, a certain debt that must be paid for one's former actions (often committed in a past incarnation). Because of their fixed nature the Eight of Clubs takes changes in life hard. The following scenario is characteristic of Eight of Clubs women. At the age of thirty-something a woman starts a love relationship with a Diamond man younger than herself. A romantic spiritual love flares up between them. And soon the woman understands that the world is not limited to her rigid intellectual schemes and concepts. She resolves to face her thirst for adventure and varied love experience. And she breaks with her beloved. This break or betrayal helps her move to a new level and break a pattern that has outlived its time. Sometimes such a change in life is accompanied by secret love affairs. But having been transformed, the Eight of Clubs feels freer in seeking new kinds of personal relationships more suited to their needs. Eight of Clubs women should not allow love relationships to become more important to them than professional concerns. Otherwise they will lose most of their strength and get tangled in emotional problems.

Compatibility of the Eight of Clubs with other birth cards

Eight of Clubs men are drawn to women of the Diamond suit, who always bring certain problems into their life. A Diamond woman, as a rule, turns out to be precisely the beloved with whom a painful break awaits them. Eight of Clubs women are luckier with Diamond men. Eight of Clubs men are attractive to Heart women. Eights of Clubs of both sexes get on well with men of their own suit.

The Eight of Clubs — a Fixed card

Eights of Clubs, belonging to the Fixed cards, are extremely inflexible in their ideas of the world. If some idea has lodged in their head, they can neither change it nor get rid of it. The following story can serve as an example. The city authorities changed the direction of traffic on two main streets where for over twenty years traffic had been one-way. An Eight of Clubs man could not bear this; he declared that he would never drive along these streets again. To keep his word, he had to make a five-mile detour every time he left the city or returned. But from his point of view he made a completely correct choice. After all, he kept faith with his ideas of the world, although many would consider his decision impractical. For the Eight of Clubs changing their convictions is so agonising that they are even afraid to think about it. Many Eights of Clubs are able to live their whole life without departing a single step from their principles and concepts. As a rule, they are happy and content as long as nothing interferes with them. But sooner or later they still have to leave their comfortable spot, widen their horizons and change their views on the world and on their own life. And to complete the process of these changes the Eight of Clubs may need many years. Because of the Queen of Diamonds as the Pluto Card, such changes in the life of the Eight of Clubs are often caused by a person of the Diamond suit. Many Eight of Clubs women at the age of 30–40 meet a Diamond man who becomes for them the catalyst of a complete transformation of personality. Sometimes this may happen earlier, and in some cases it repeats several times. Usually the process of transformation begins with a love adventure, or even with the Eight of Clubs falling madly in love with a Diamond man who, as a rule, is younger than she is. The strength of her love does not depend on the fact that this relationship seems at first glance hopeless and impractical. And although this romance, as a rule, does not last long, it has a very serious influence on the life of the Eight of Clubs: she is transformed and enters a world where there are far more possibilities for personal happiness and gaining experience. With all the talents and abilities granted to them, Eights of Clubs too are doomed to bear their cross. Almost always they sooner or later face a serious crisis in life that forces them to change their worldview or habits. To get moving, the Eight of Clubs needs a far stronger shock than most other cards. One can say that God wishes us to develop and change. From this point of view the crises in the life of the Eight of Clubs are a blessing. They help them transcend their overly fixed and inflexible nature.
