8

Clement's model here is the dramatist Augustus Thomas, born on the 8th of January. The handbook gives 8 a law of creating, completing and fulfilling, and pairs that with a sympathetic streak that draws other people's confidences. Walton spoke in a more commercial voice in 1914 and called it the number of business and material achievement.

Balliett counted 8 among her free numbers in 1905 and among her master numbers in 1917, an honor that the usual modern list of 11, 22 and 33 leaves out. Westcott describes it as the first cube, two times two times two, and as the only evenly even number within ten, a Greek classification. Sepharial's name list has protection and justice.
