The 8 Period Cycle usually bodes well for work, career, and financial reward. This is a time when power falls to you but must be used wisely and with purpose. You likely find yourself in a position of authority and leadership. Vision and a willingness to take risks are necessary to advance your career or business. However, there is a danger of being duped by get-rich-quick schemes.

With balance as its most essential quality, the statement "You reap what you sow" applies to the 8 more than to any other number. With effort and diligence, financial reward is almost guaranteed. However, if cutting corners or opportunism is the driving force behind your professional life, financial ruin could just as likely be the result. The 8 is rarely neutral regarding punishment or reward.
