Number 8 in Numerology (ruled by Saturn)
In Indian numerology the root number 8 is ruled by Saturn and stands for discipline, endurance, justice and long-term success. Your birth (Moolank) number is found by reducing your day of birth to a single digit, and your destiny (Bhagyank) number by reducing your full date of birth. If you were born on the 8th, 17th or 26th, you have 8 as your birth number.

Birth number and destiny number
The birth number describes your natural temperament, while the destiny number, calculated from the full date, describes the direction of life and the lessons it brings. When both are 8, the qualities of Saturn are especially strong. Name numbers, calculated from the letters of your name, are used to bring the vibration of your name into harmony with these two numbers.
Birth number, destiny number and name number
Indian numerology uses three main numbers. The birth (psychic) number is the day of birth reduced to one digit. The destiny (life path) number is the full date of birth reduced to one digit. The name number comes from the letters of your name, usually by the Chaldean system. Each number is linked to a planet, which is how numerology connects to astrology.
