Eight of Diamonds

Being the Sun Card, the Eight of Diamonds has the opportunity to rise to the very summit of success. Regardless of whether they strive for fame or not, they will always be respected. Eights of Diamonds love to "shine" and arouse admiration in other people; they are endowed with the talent of a leader. People born under the influence of this card are very strong, but if they become dependent on their strength, they will turn into tyrants. Most of their negative karma they work off in power clashes and struggles for power with other people. They do not like being controlled and always try to keep the leading role in any relationship. The strength of the Eight and its position in the "crown" top row of the Life Spread endow this card with a striving for independence and a "go-getting" character. Eights of Diamonds know the price of everything and are able to cope with the most complex situation. For many of them strength equals wealth and the ability to spend a lot of money. The latter often becomes a bad habit. Eights of Diamonds are able to squander an enormous sum in the blink of an eye. Still, they can achieve everything they want thanks to incredible industriousness and innate intuition. If the Eight of Diamonds learns to turn their strength on themselves for the purpose of personal transformation and stops trying to change the outer world, they will find stable inner harmony and self-mastery — the key concepts of their Karma Card, the Queen of Spades. Eights of Diamonds are clever and very inquisitive. If they have wanted to find something out, nothing will stop them. The enormous strength inherent in them lets them win victories and wisely lead other people if they apply this strength in the right direction. Sometimes Eights of Diamonds fear or do not wish to take on the responsibility connected with this strength, but in doing so they lose the lion's share of the potential granted to them.

Relationships of Eights of Diamonds with other people

In love Eights of Diamonds are inconstant and indecisive. Their independent, changeable nature resists firm relationships. In other cases the Eight of Diamonds often attracts partners who themselves do not want stability and marriage. Many Eights of Diamonds practise "serial monogamy": during their life they go through three, four or more marriage partners. They need variety in love, which one single person can almost never give. Eights of Diamonds must learn to grant their partners freedom of self-expression and not try to change them. Moreover, they must accept themselves as they are and turn their love not only on other people but on themselves too. The Ace of Spades as the Cosmic Reward Card and the Seven of Hearts as the Pluto Card say that the main task of the Eight of Diamonds is not at all successfully suppressing the partner's personality, but realising their own fear of being left alone. As a rule, the Eight of Diamonds knows what they want and strives for it purposefully. But, unfortunately, the object of their striving changes rather quickly. In most cases the wisest solution to this problem will be the habit of always putting the interests of career above personal relationships. Otherwise the Eight of Diamonds risks losing part of their strength. Eights of Diamonds of both sexes get on well with representatives of the Club suit. If they manage to give up possessive strivings in love, they will find true happiness.

Compatibility of Eights of Diamonds with other birth cards

Eight of Diamonds women are ideally suited for marriage with Spade men, especially if they are prosperous and strong people. With Heart men a beautiful lifelong friendship is possible. Eight of Diamonds men often arouse sympathy in Heart women, and Club women are able to bring them true happiness. But they are best compatible with Spade women, though before drawing conclusions in this case one must always study the specific connections between the Birth Cards.

Eight of Diamonds women

Most Eights of Diamonds are characterised by a dazzling sunny smile. It seems as if they simply radiate sunlight. The Eight of Diamonds is the card of Leo, regardless of what sun sign its representative was born under. In the horoscope of an Eight of Diamonds the sign of Leo will almost certainly be clearly manifested. Even in the appearance of these people there is something leonine, for example a thick mane of hair. Of course, not all Eight of Diamonds women belong to precisely this type of appearance, but most of them do. Another notable feature of the Eight of Diamonds is a tendency to apply brute force where money and business are concerned. If necessary, they will make any person perform even an act uncharacteristic of them. Even if an Eight of Diamonds woman seems meek in appearance, in fact she knows her worth perfectly well and is capable of a great deal. When it comes to money, the Eight of Diamonds shows an unusually strong will, and in some cases even ruthlessness. In the horoscopes of Eights of Diamonds a strong influence of Pluto, Scorpio or the 8th House is very often noticeable.
