I'm living at 4/26 and my next place will be number 8. I've lived here for about 4 years and I haven't had the best luck. My ex fiance had the same birth number (4) and his birthday is the 13th of the 8th...again, 4 and 8. I have had a terrible time with him and not much good luck since being here.

Does 4 and 8 really bring bad luck?

or you can try to alleviate it by changing things..your name..telephone number..address=moving or P.O.Box..and bring better vibrations..
also 4's ad 8's attract..it's really not so scary..when you understand..that they are lessons... .

The warning she gave about them had to do specifically with the relationship between 4s and 4s and between 4s and 8s. When it comes to these attracted forces, the karmic debt that comes from them is highly negative in nature. They are trials that are geared more towards your dissolution and destruction than your own advancement. It is hard to distinguish when your trials are doing more damage than good, for our very own human strength of perseverance and keeping hope is galvanized by these situations. But if there is a truth in the old saying, "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger," then we must also infer that what does not make you stronger can and will most likely kill you.
Linda tried to bring the effects of these numbers out into consciousness so that we could make a conscious decision. To change any numerical vibrations in our lives is ultimately up to us, especially if it is a feasible one like changing a name or address, etc. If you cannot face a problem or situation with the resources you currently have, then where is the wisdom in incessantly trying? By using numerology, those who believe in it can give their selves an advantage that they did not previously acquire. It is a way to re-direct hope through non-vioent action and change instead of tormentive passiveness.

Of course, changing any numerical vibrations in your life is not always a necessary solution. Often times it is materialistically impossible, for example, like a strong karmic birth number as 16 or 29. It does not mean that the relationship between a mother who's birth number is a 4 and her daughter who's birth number is an 8 is doomed. That only suggests that the resources these individuals have been given are enough for them to handle these "negative" vibrations in a positive way so that it strengthens them. (Easier said than done.)

As for 8s, Linda did mention that they may opt to face all the 8s in their lives and even purposely change vibrations to this number in order to face their karmic due without the cataclysmic challenges involved with the 4-4 and 4-8 dynamic. It is still very challenging and highly testing, but not as violent or torturous.

bleakbeauty, i'm not attempting to give you any advice on what you should or should not do. You're number situation has an obvious tone of cosmic handiwork embedded in it and any situation like that is difficult to manage. I just hope that any information has been even slightly useful. I'm no expert, by any means. Reading your post just struck a chord close to home.

despite the warning that Linda gave for 4 and 8 people when marrying, there was an upside to it, too.

quote:

---

Some of the greatest examples of self-sacrifice in history are found when 8 and 4 people marry. The most pronounced aspect about this combination in marriage is sacrifice of some kind. Yet, great good can come from such suffering; the couple can create unusually gifted children - or produce the legacy of classical music, poetry, memorable writing of books, plays, and so forth.
