This is an excellent combination of numbers for romance as well as business. The 4 and the 8 are like the gears of an engine. They connect perfectly and increase one another's power. By joining forces, they triple or quadruple their output. This is considered the best blend of archetypes for a business partnership. ~first~ delivers the persistence, determination, dependability, and methodical approach required to reach a set goal, while ~second~ brings the vision and conviction that no dream is unattainable.

Fortunately, a similar synergy exists for romance as well. Although the 4 and 8 are different in many ways, they respect and recognize each other's value. Together, they create an environment of love, trust, and deep spiritual bonding.

~first~ and ~second~, although this aspect of your chart reveals an almost perfect combination, dangers do exist (as they do in any combination). At some point, ~second~ will likely try something that ~first~ finds outrageous and doomed to fail. ~second~'s stubborn determination and, at times, authoritarian approach could become a major irritant to ~first~. 

~first~, if (when) that happens, the best approach is simply to disengage. Communicate your ideas, but do not try too hard to persuade ~second~ to give up a plan or a goal they believe in. Alternately, ~second~ will sometimes feel ~first~ is a stick in the mud who does not dare try something new. In this situation, ~second~ should recognize this does not signify a lack of courage on ~first~'s part, but simply that they prefer not to waste time or take risks on something that does not feel realistic. In these situations, feelings of frustration could overshadow the love and respect that is the foundation of your relationship.

Although rare, it is not unheard of for this combination to survive several major breakups and reconciliations, even divorce and re-marriage. All partnerships must compromise, and this is particularly true for your relationship. Sometimes, ~first~, even when you know a project is doomed to fail, it might be worthwhile to support it. And ~second~, your idea may be valid, but when your partner (or others) express serious doubts about it, you may want to consider that they may be right and examine whether pursuing it is the smart thing to do.
