The number 8 is the only single-digit number with perfect symmetry. Ever notice that it makes two perfect halves, no matter how you slice it through the middle point? Turned sideways, it is the infinity sign (also known as the lemniscate symbol ∞), with an endless loop.

This symbol has a mystical appeal in jewelry, tattoos, and art because it suggests infinite possibilities, abundance, and a continuous, never-ending flow.

In other words, this is a powerful number for manifestation.

But there's one area of life it shines extremely well, which you'd be wise to use it for:

Numerology

It turns out, the number 8 has a fantastic association with wealth and prosperity, rooted in cultural and historical beliefs. Particularly in Chinese numerology, it's considered very auspicious because of it's pronunciation: when spoken in Mandarin, it sounds similar to the word for "wealth" or "prosper." The word for the number 8 in Mandarin is "ba," and it sounds like the word for wealth or prosperity, which is "fa" or "faa."

Due to the phonetic resemblance, people often consider the number 8 as a symbol of good luck, financial success, and abundance. As a result, the number 8 is frequently associated with positive outcomes, especially in the context of wealth and prosperity.

Angel Number 888

Angel number 888 specifically emphasizes financial and material aspects. If you come across it in your ordinary daily life, it could signify a period of material and financial growth coming your way. Keep in mind, the universe awards abundance and prosperity in many forms, sometimes symbolically, and this can mean you will experience a period of richness in fulfillment, relationships, memorable experiences, or other avenues. 

For manifesting financial goals, one of the best things you could do - something that REALLY works to attract more money into your life - is to express gratitude for the things that you already have. Because like attracts like, the feeling of joy you experience by having something will only bring more experiences of abundance.  

Why 888 is powerful for manifesting

The number 8 is often associated with universal laws that govern existence, including the law of cause and effect. Remember how I mentioned the infinity symbol earlier? Inherent to the endless loop within itself, the number 8 symbolizes the idea that you reap what you sow. Because it is constantly feeding into itself, you can surmise that positive actions and intentions (causes) can lead to favorable outcomes (effects).

This connection to universal laws aligns with the idea of conscious manifestation, especially pointing to how our thoughts and actions shape our reality (also similar to the concept of the law of attraction where "like attracts like"). With its cyclical shape, it's linked to the idea of endless flow, cycles of life and death, and the potential for renewal and transformation. 

Using the angel number 888 to manifest wealth and prosperity involves incorporating it into your daily practice. Here are some steps you can follow:

1. Set Intentions: Clearly define your intentions related to wealth and prosperity. What specific financial goals do you want to achieve? How do you envision your ideal financial situation? Write down your intentions in a positive, present-tense affirmation format.
2. Visualization: Visualize yourself already experiencing the wealth and prosperity you desire. Imagine yourself living in abundance, feeling grateful for all the financial blessings in your life. Use the power of visualization to make your desired outcomes feel real and attainable.
3. Affirmations: Repeat affirmations that align with the energy of abundance and prosperity. Incorporate the number 888 into your affirmations, such as "I am surrounded by infinite abundance and prosperity," or "I attract wealth and success effortlessly into my life."
4. Gratitude Practice: Cultivate an attitude of gratitude for the abundance that already exists in your life. Express gratitude daily for your financial blessings, no matter how small they may seem. Gratitude helps shift your focus towards abundance and attracts more positive energy into your life.
5. Take Inspired Action: Take inspired action towards your financial goals. Use the guidance and inspiration you receive from seeing the number 888 as motivation to pursue opportunities, make wise financial decisions, and take steps towards manifesting your desires.
