My birthday makes me an 8. My Mom, Dad, and (honorary) Gramma were all born on the 22nd of various months. July, February, November, and May, respectively. Or, I'm a Cancer, with Pisces, Scorpio, and Taurus.

These three adults were the huge influence in my young life, and all had various "issues". I'm just looking back to see if anything is clearer now. Thanks for your thoughts.

22 is a master number that carrys a load so to speak I have the number as well.
Lindas interpretation is:

22
Submission--and Caution
22 is symbolized by the ancients as "a Good Man, blinded by the folly of others, with a knapsack on his back, full of errors." In the image he seems to offer no defense against a ferocious tiger which is about to attack him. It's a warning number of illusion and delusions. It indicates a good person (or entity) who lives in a fool's paradise; a dreamer of dreams who awakens only when surrounded by danger, when it's often too late. It warns of mistakes in judgement, of placing faith in those who are not trustworthy. If 22 is the birth number, the person it represents should exercise caution and watchfulness (since the birth number cannot be altered) in both career and personal matters. The karmic obligation here is to be more alert, to curb "spiritual laziness," and develop more spiritual aggressiveness--to realize your own power to change things, to prevent failure by simply ordaining success. When this personal responsibility is recognized, practiced, and finally mastered, the 22 person can be in control of events, no longer blinded by the folly of others, and will see ideas achieved and dreams realized. Anyone born on the 22nd day of any month needs to carefully read the section about the numbers 4 and 8, beginning on Page 211.

number 4:

THE NUMBER 4
The Number 4 vibrates to the planet Uranus. It represents individualism, originality, inventiveness, and tolerance. 4 is the number of unconventional behavior and sudden, unexpected events--also of genius.

A person or entity is influenced by the Number 4 if born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, or 31st day of any month, in any year. People or entities born on the 4th are stamped with the distinctive imprint of the Number 4. So are those born on the 13th, 22nd, or 31st day of the month, but these will, in addition, be challenged to unlock the karmic mystery of the Compound number--13--22, or 31, as the case may be--in their lives. The same is true of the Single and Compound number of the name of the person or entity being analyzed.

The Number 4 attitudes and characteristics will be periodically exhibited by the 4 person or entity, and will interact with that person's or entity's personality in different ways, depending on the individual Sun Sign.

When the Sun Sign is:
AQUARIUS: The 4 vibration intensifies the Sun personality traits.

LEO: The 4 vibration sometimes opposes the Sun Sign motives, but, with effort, can be used to balance the Sun Sign nature.

GEMINI, LIBRA, ARIES, SAGITTARIUS: The 4 vibration harmonizes well with the Sun Sign character, motives, and personality patterns.

SCORPIO, TAURUS, CANCER, VIRGO, CAPRICORN, PISCES: The 4 vibration is in sharp contrast with the basic Sun Sign instincts. When it surfaces on occasion in the personality, the behavior is so unusual, relative to the person's or entity's normal or natural Sun Sign attitudes, it startles others, and often surprises the Number 4 person as well.

The Meaning of the 4 Vibration
The following definition of Number 4 applies to both people and entities. 4 people are seldom understood by their friends and family. They're an enigma to everyone they know. They make their own rules, and these rules don't always match those of society. Marked individuality colors every thought and action. If there's a different way to do anything, the 4 person will find it. Their speech and actions frequently shock others, and it often seems the attempt to shock is deliberate. It is. 4 people live in the future, caring little about the present. They're light years ahead of others in their ideas and ideals. Going along with this trait is an innate talent for prophecy, for knowing what will happen tomorrow long before tomorrow arrives. Their life-style ranges from unconventional to the bizarre, yet their "crazy" ideas are successful more often than not.

Anything far out of off the beaten path appeals strongly to the 4 person's questing, curious nature. For example, a 4 person with a well-aspected Jupiter in the natal horoscope has an excellent chance to be the first person to tame and make friends with Sasquatch or Bigfoot--or locate and swim along with Nessie, the Loch Ness monster. If the 4 person also has a Scorpio Sun or Moon, the discovery, if attempted, is almost certain to be successful. That's because such an incredible, unproven, and so-called unscientific theories never deter, but instead excite the 4 person, who is deeply convinced of the reality of whatever can be conceived in the mind. To be told that a thing is impossible only intensifies and spurs the 4 person's resolve to prove it is possible. The phrase "mission impossible" rings the great bells of mental challenge in the very soul of a 4 person.

Although the 4 vibration advocates change in every area of life, from politics to art, these people are strangely reluctant to accept change in their personal habits, which remain rather fixed. They can be quite stubborn when people try to dictate to them or try to mold them into a more acceptable social pattern. Because prophets are often unrecognized in their own time, and because 4 people live far into the future, their grandest and truest visions are often ridiculed or ignored. They're fascinated by U.F.O.s, and their secret wish is to be contacted and taken aboard, hopefully not to return to the chaos of Earth. Reform movements like Women's Liberation and Equal Rights for Minorities attract 4 people, who are genuinely dedicated to tolerance and brotherhood (and sisterhood). Friendship is vital to the 4 vibration, and these people--not always, but usually--have bushels of friends from all walks of life. Money means little to them; they're as likely to mix with Kings as with paupers--they care nothing about class distinction, have not desire to impress anyone, and would just as soon live in a van, a tent, or a sleeping bag as in a mansion. It's not that they're prejudiced against comfort or wealth, it's because they simply don't notice their surroundings. They live in their imaginations. One of their finest virtues is the tendency to "live and let live." The 4 person doesn't give a ginger snap what you do or say, however outrageous or against his or her own principles--and expects you to return the same consideration.

Number 8:

THE NUMBER 8
The Number 8 vibrates to Saturn. It represents wisdom, learning through experience, stability, patience, and responsibility. It represents wisdom, learning through experience, stability, patience, and responsibility. 8 is also the number of financial security, caution, restriction, self-discipline and self-control.

A person or entity is influenced by the Number 8 if born on the 8th, 17th, or 26th day of any month, in any year. People or entities born on the 8th are stamped with the distinct imprint of the Number 8. So are those born on the 17th or 26th day of the month, but these will, in addition, be challenged to unlock the karmic mystery of the Compound number 17 or 26, as the case may be, in their lives. The same is true of the Single and Compound number of the name of the person or entity being analyzed.

The Number 8 characteristics and attitudes will be periodically exhibited by the 8 person or entity, and will interact with that person's or entity's personality in different ways, depending on the individual Sun Sign.

When the Sun Sign is:
CAPRICORN: The 8 vibration intensifies the Sun Sign personality traits.

CANCER: The 8 vibration sometimes opposes the Sun Sign motives, but with effort, can be used to balance the Sun Sign nature.

PISCES, SCORPIO, VIRGO, TAURUS: The 8 Vibration harmonizes well with the Sun Sign character, motives, and personality patterns.

ARIES, LIBRA, GEMINI, LEO, SAGITTARIUS, AQUARIUS: The 8 vibration is in sharp contrast with the basic Sun Sign instincts. When it surfaces on occasion in the personality, the behavior is so unusual, relative to the person's normal Sun Sign attitudes, it startles others, and often surprises the Number 8 person as well.

The Meaning of the 8 Vibration
The following definition of the Number 8 applies to both people and entities. 8 people are normally quiet, reserved, and shy. They don't obviously push ahead, but slowly and surely they will get where they want to go, and nothing will stop them from achieving their ambitions. The shyness and reticence is a cover for an intense drive to reach the top of the profession or career. They make excellent teachers and counselors, most of them could be successful in the tough game of politics (although now and then there's a sour apple in the barrel)--and they excel at anything that requires patience and intelligent deduction.

Those influenced by the 8 vibration may have poor health in childhood, but they grow more robust when they reach maturity, and longevity is common with 8 men and women. These people are willing to wait for their plans to bear fruit, and they use the waiting time wisely. It's rare to find an 8 person procrastinating or "goofing off." They have an inborn sense of duty and responsibility that won't allow them to take a careless attitude toward what is expected of them. Most of those born under the 8 influence are as reliable as a grandfather clock, and as cozy to be around as a grandma quilt or comforter. They have a rich sense of humor, but one has to watch for it; it's subtle and never obvious. These people behave as if they don't care a peanut what people think of them, and they appear to be turned off by compliments, yet inwardly they care very much what people think of them, and if the compliments are sincere, they secretly enjoy them, although they'll hide their pleasure, for fear they might be considered weak. To be considered weak is the very last thing they want to happen.

Although 8 people appear to be cold and undemonstrative with those they love and trust, they can be shyly affectionate and warmly devoted. They're often lonely, needing desperately to be loved, and they're capable of great sacrifices for an ideal, an ambition, or for those who depend on them. They grow younger in appearance and behavior as they grow older--they look and act younger at fifty than they did when they were twenty. They're as demanding of themselves as they are of others, but for all the outward attitudes of wisdom and maturity, self-control, and discipline, the 8 person's heart is lonely and longing, and they need to learn that the pursuit of happiness is not a sin.

I have to go to work, but when I return,I will share what I`ve gleaned
