What driver number 8 means
Driver number 8 belongs to Saturn, the slowest planet, and eights get the slowest results. What arrives late for an 8 tends to stay, which is the compensation. The driver number, also called mulank or the psychic number, comes from the day of the month you were born, reduced to a single digit. Anyone born on the 8, 17, 26 carries driver number 8.
Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths. Patience, financial sense, endurance and the willingness to do unglamorous work for years.
Weaknesses. Rigidity, pessimism after setbacks, and holding on to grudges and possessions alike.
Career
Finance, real estate, law, mining, heavy industry and long-lived institutions.
Love and marriage
Serious and committed, but rarely expressive. An 8 shows love by providing and expects that to be understood. In compatibility terms, driver numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are considered friendly, and 1, 2 and 9 is the one usually avoided. That describes temperament rather than fate, and plenty of good marriages ignore it.
Health
Bones, joints and teeth. Problems build slowly, so early attention matters more than intensity. None of this is medical information; it is what the tradition associates with Saturn.

Go deeper than the driver number
The driver number is one of three. Your conductor number, from the full date of birth, and your Lo Shu grid, from every digit in it, change the reading considerably. Two people with driver 8 can be very different once the grid is drawn.
Build your Lo Shu grid to see which numbers you are missing, then read your life prediction and your gemstone recommendation based on the full chart rather than the birth day alone.
