For Day Eights the Minor resolves to the Major. Day Eights are serious, studious and passionate about what they have established for themselves in the world. They love learning and can take to their studies with rigorous logic. They take each point in an argument personally, and each point they establish becomes a fixed element of their personality. They hate to throw caution to the winds, and like to proceed in steps, anchoring themselves like a rock climber before making the next stage in their ascent. Their minds are open to learning, but they are cautious about opening them to others. They are honest and direct, but private about their own thoughts. They believe that relationships are like work projects and need to be managed at every level. They believe firmly in the expression of the single, simple idea, but know that every single statement needs complex support and management behind it. They think deeply from an early age about their personal development, and, although they are initially cautious in confronting life, will come to revel in its tangle of interconnections. They excel in bureaucratic functions, but always fear that chance may throw a spanner in the works, or that their long-term plans are faulty. And they will try to erase any opportunity for luck to interfere by attending to every detail. Their simplicity and firmness overlies their understanding of the complexities of administration and enables them to make hard decisions without regret. They like to be secretive about their plans, and yet want to ensure they have all the support they need before making up their minds. They like to keep their fun simple, but always think of amusements as possibilities for drawing friends and colleagues into their widening network. They find real pleasure in the creation of a network of interdependent people. Such networking may be exhausting, and the juggling of detail may get out of hand emotionally and intellectually. They may end up delegating when they should be in charge. They find it hard to cut the Gordian knot when they have to. They may hang on for a logical solution when there is none to be had. They are direct in manner and may trust in others too much. They admire openness and directness in others, but are really more interested in the secret games they play. They are nervous of direct personal confrontations, and thus run the risk of being too satisfied with their own ideas.
