makes good since jld being that the eight energy has alot to do with mastery of the material world .and finding balance greed verses giving .
right view, right intention ,right speech , right action ,right livelihood ,right effort, right mindfulness , right concentration i think you have stumbled on to something .
practical guideline to ethical and mental development with the goal of freeing one self from attachments and delusions .finally leading to understanding the truth about all things ,together with the four noble truths 4 a vibration similar to that of the 8 .
thank you for your insight

These teachings could be helpful to any number as well. I could stand to get some more Buddha in my life. Yeah my ego has caused me some problems. Ego and ego in reverse. The recognition that I'm not the only one who has suffered in this life brings about a sense of connectedness. And the ripple effects of having good thoughts, doing good deeds, helping others helps us as well.
I thought they fit well with the eight aspects though...
Right view is the cognitive aspect of wisdom. It means to see things through, to grasp the impermanent and imperfect nature of worldly objects and ideas. It begins with the intuitive insight that all beings are subject to suffering and it ends with complete understanding of the true nature of all things.
More than any other number, eight seeks money and material success. Within the 8 lies an innate balance between the higher and lower characteristics of man.
A challenge of one with the 8 is to balance their higher ideals and their understanding of the hard realities of the earth. Much effort will have to be put out and many ups and downs experienced before reaching the level of success desired. Life will probably test one with the eight many times with obstacles that seem insurmountable. But in reality, these are merely opportunities for them to learn how to use power and authority in the face of difficulties, and to find out just how much power lies within them. It is crucial for their success that they balance the material and the spiritual. They have chosen a path that requires balance between giving and taking, reward and punishment, action and reaction.
Since our view of the world forms our thoughts and our actions, right view yields right thoughts and right actions...right intention of goodwill, developing compassion
right speech, right action, right livelihood...
Challenges of 8: Belligerence, manipulation, anger, judgment
The eight may become unscrupulous in business dealings in order to attain your desired level of success.
While right view refers to the cognitive aspect of wisdom, right intention refers to the volitional aspect, i.e. the kind of mental energy that controls our actions. the intention of renunciation, which means resistance to the pull of desire. the intention of good will, meaning resistance to feelings of anger and aversion. the intention of harmlessness, meaning not to think or act cruelly, violently, or aggressively, and to develop compassion.
