| | Three eights will bring success to newly-weds says astrology. As noted by astrologer in conversation with correspondent, marriages, concluded on 8 August 2008, will be successful and lasting. Wealth and prosperity will accompany married couple, although most lucky number for marriage nevertheless is five.
According to the astrologer, each number has its vibration, which gives special sense to number. So, 8 as also 1, 3, 6 are considered as godly numbers, which indicate mercy, service and responsibility. People somehow connected with number 8, for example, through date of birth or number of house, altruists, who contain specific mission. They are closely connected to their kind, can repeat the fate of their ancestors and even adopt hereditary diseases. Lifespan of such people is small, since they return entire their energy to others, wasting them. Such people will always fight, resist evil, distributing love to surroundings.
Numerology, in terms of numerical value of Jewish letters, defines 888 as “Number Of Jesus”, in contrast to 666 – “Number Of Beast”. The combination of three eights belonged to envoys of God such as Krishna, Buddha and Jesus Christ.
Those born on August 8, 2008 will be inseparably connected with the society and will bring him lot of knowledge. Continuation of kind will be important matter in their life. Strong intuition and deep respect for parents is special feature of people, who are born on this day. They can possess mystical capabilities.
On the “three eights” - 08.08.08 day - world is gripped with another wedding boom. And even leap year is not a hindrance. Thousands and thousands of pairs decided to marry precisely on this day with hope that the magic of numbers will bring happiness to them. It is considered that eight symbolizes reliability, responsibility and brings success in the matters. Moreover, number 8 is similar to infinity sign - this promises long love and lasting union to loved ones. And someone likes three eights to appear in the marriage certificate.
According to astrologers, in this year on Friday August 8 it is found under the patronage of Venus. This planet symbolizes pleasure, feelings and material prosperity. Therefore concluded precisely in this day marriages must be happy.
Especially it transported to Chinese. They so with the considerable attention and by respect relate for the fact that says numerology. But triple eight in combination with the day of the official discovery of the Olympic Games finds the almost sacred value for those inhabitants of China, who intends to enter the marriage. Today by husband and wife will become thousand and thousands of inhabitants of this country. The interminable flow of statements from those desiring to note “Olympic” wedding Chinese officials assumed twenty-four hour - through the Internet. Otherwise not at all they managed. Even Chinese old people will not recollect this quantity of those desiring to marry during one day.
On August 8, 2008, the number of marrying pairs doubled, or else triply exceeds standard. In some cities during the day “three eights” because of the unprecedented wedding boom of enamored ones they will marry under the open sky, in the theaters, museums and the culture houses.
However, even beautiful date in the evidence about the marriage and promises of astrologers, unfortunately, in no way guarantee happy and long family life. As statistics shows, the tendency to shift responsibility for its family to the numbers is not justified. Statistics is severe: 2.5 percent of marriages, registered on July 7, 2007, during the day “three seven”, already ended by divorce. So that numbers with numbers and in the building of family happiness of newly weds it is necessary to design only on them. |
