the 8 energy is not in excess in your makeup, you will no doubt express these traits to some
extent. No one has any more energy that a person with the 8 Expression who has a plan laid
and is starting to work. No one has any more self-confidence, either. If you are expressing the
positive qualities of 8, you are an outstanding manager because you can plan, initiate, and
complete projects; you are very dependable and determined.

planning ability and solid judgment.

may have a tendency to be very rigid, sometimes stubborn.
