What's in a Name? Why 888?

The number eight symbolizes power.  In situations of repeating eights, it symbolizes taking power back in situations where you’ve lost it or things have gotten out of control.  This is any type of power – emotional, financial or business power. 

Further, in Chinese numerology, the number eight is often associated with great fortune, wealth, and spiritual enlightenment.  More eights means more fortune, wealth, and spiritual enlightenment. 

Finally, the number 888 is considered an “angel” number and is associated with karma.  In other words, what goes around comes around.  In this context, 888 signals that a reward is coming for your effort and can mean that great success lies ahead.
