An 8 during your first Period Cycle puts the focus on accomplishment at an early age. You likely grow up under some pressure, perhaps from an overbearing adult. Some children may experience this in a boarding school, foster care, religious organization or institutional environment.

A search for balance is the dominant influence when the 8 is present. Due to its focus on personal growth, extreme circumstances are often part of this cycle. You likely grow up in either a wealthy environment or hardship; part of a large family or as an only child; in a major city or somewhat isolated area. You have a need to modify extreme circumstances in your environment.
