Eight of Hearts

The Eight of Hearts is the "power of love". This card, like all other Eights, must learn to use its power discerningly and feel responsibility for its application. Eights of Hearts have irresistible charm and magnetism, but if they themselves become dependent on their power, they will begin to use it unwisely and at the expense of other people. Both Karma Cards of the Eight of Hearts are Sevens. This means that with a wrong application of power karmic retribution will not be long in coming. But the same Sevens endow the Eight of Hearts with spiritual wisdom that can guide their actions along the right path. Acting fairly, Eights of Hearts can rise to true spiritual heights and generously share their love and healing power with other people. After all, the Eight of Hearts is also the card of healers, people who selflessly give their soul's strength to others. The Life Spread of the Eight of Hearts is one of the most favourable in the whole deck. Many people with this Birth Card become famous teachers, artists, statesmen. Among the cards of their Life Spread are the Ten of Clubs, the Eight of Diamonds and the King of Spades, which make up the top, "crown" row of the basic system of the Life Spread. This is an indication of enormous potential for success and fame. Even on the lowest level the Eight of Hearts can achieve recognition in the circle of their friends and family. In the area of health some problems await the Eight of Hearts if they treat their physical condition carelessly. Many Eights of Hearts become so immersed in work and family affairs that they forget to look after their own body. Their first Karma Card — the Seven of Spades — may bring serious trouble on them for neglecting their health. Having such great potential for success, Eights of Hearts, it would seem, could calmly relax and enjoy life; but often they choose such an intense rhythm of life that they simply have no time left for rest. Curiously, Eights of Hearts very often gather a circle of close people (friends or relatives) consisting of exactly eight people. Eight Hearts are eight people to whom the Eight of Hearts gives their love. Situations are not excluded where the Eight of Hearts has eight children, eight wives and so on. People with this Birth Card are very intellectual. They cope superbly with the profession of teacher and in general with any pursuit requiring good mental abilities. To earn money they have to work hard, but they will never be left without work. Many Eights of Hearts achieve a certain fame in life, especially after the age of 36. Having such an enormous reserve of energy at their disposal, they can achieve almost anything, as long as their own fears and doubts do not get in the way.

Relationships of the Eight of Hearts with other people

Just like Sevens of Hearts, Eights of Hearts are endowed with enormous power, which they must learn to manage wisely. The Eight of Hearts is the Don Juan of the deck. They are so charming and attractive that everything is in their power. They know how to express their love for a partner and how to help them feel a unique personality. The Eight of Hearts themselves does not need signs of attention as acutely as many other cards, so in most situations they manage to keep control over their partner. Therefore they often break off love relationships themselves and go to another partner if the previous one seemed unsatisfactory to them in some way. In marriage the Eight of Hearts may behave aggressively. Women born under the influence of this card often even frighten off suitors and admirers with their aggressiveness. Usually men prefer meeker loved ones. In the area of love life the Eight of Hearts must always be accountable for their actions. If they begin to act unfairly, karmic retribution will prove very swift. The Eight of Hearts must keep their power under control and manage it maturely and wisely. Only in this way will they be able to find happiness in love.

Compatibility of the Eight of Hearts with other birth cards

Club men consider relationships with Eights of Hearts (especially with women of this Birth Card) very complicated. But Diamond men feel sympathy for Eights of Hearts. Eight of Hearts men are drawn to women of their own suit and are usually well compatible with them, with the exception of the Jack of Hearts, who may play the role of an "evil fate" in their life.

The Eight of Hearts — the Don Juan card

To be born under the influence of the Eight of Hearts means to possess enormous power in the emotional sphere. With such power the Eight of Hearts can easily get anything from the people around them. They are able to envelop any person in admiration and adoration. If they wish, their partner will feel the most beautiful and desirable person in the world. This is a powerful weapon, and the Eight of Hearts can use it at their discretion. Richard Gere and John F. Kennedy Jr. were born under the influence of this card. Both were heartbreakers. On a certain level all Eights must learn to draw the line between the right and wrong application of their power. Of course, every Birth Card is connected with some kind of energy, but in the case of Eights this innate energy shows itself most vividly. Eights of Hearts quickly discover in themselves the source of this power. They understand that they can use it to satisfy their emotional needs or achieve some other goals. Men with this Birth Card may become professional swindlers or seducers. But they may also turn out professional healers or advisers. Everything depends on the worldview and value system of the specific person. People who are not aware of the karmic law of cause and effect will most likely abuse their power. But both Karma Cards of the Eight of Hearts are Sevens: the Seven of Spades and the Seven of Hearts. Sevens are the most spiritual cards of the deck, and they always create problems for us if we act irresponsibly. In the case of the Eight of Hearts they testify that not a single abuse of power will go unpunished for them. The sphere of application of the Eight of Hearts' power is limited to the power of personal relationships. Hearts are the first suit of the deck in order, and they have no power over the other suits. But the other suits do have power over the Heart suit. The power of a person born under the influence of the Eight of Hearts can affect only the "inner child" hidden in our soul. Trying to manipulate other people, the Eight of Hearts may deprive a person of their attention, shame them or make them feel unworthy of love at all. Often Eights of Hearts like to work or communicate with children, since it is precisely over children that they have the most power. The adults they manage to manipulate are usually either extremely insecure or dependent on the Eight of Hearts through emotional attachment. If a person's "inner child" is well developed, the manipulations of the Eight of Hearts will have no effect on them. And if a person keeps clearly to their convictions and knows what the truth is for them, they will easily cope with all the problems that a low-level Eight of Hearts may create for them. On the high level Eights of Hearts can use their magic gift to help other people. If they are guided by wisdom, they manage to work real miracles in their life and in the destinies of all the people who come into contact with them.
