I had a lovely client ask me about the number 17 as she was born on the 17th and had 17/8 as one of her name vibrations. She wanted to know if the energy was the same no matter where the number showed up and we dug into the energy of this number in our session. I thought I would share some of the insights with you! Let me introduce you to 17/8.
Do you know a Jessica, Marilyn, Gabriel, Rose, Tony, Keith, Freya or Robin? These are some of the names with this vibration.
If you were born on the 17th of any month, in any year, then it’s part of your essence. Or:
If you were born in a year where you go through 17 to get to the digit sum 8, like 1970 Then it's part of your essence.
People who have/had this vibration: Marilyn Monroe, Freya Stark, John Jacob Astor, and Robin Williams.
As a name vibration, 17/8 can support or make a mess of your life. As part of your essence = your birthday, it will never be inharmonious, but your essence might not be supported by your names. If you want to see if this vibration is part of your name, you look it up here. In the following, I will talk about the name vibration 17/8.

The Number of Fame - 17/8 stands for spotlight, being remembered beyond this moment or even beyond this lifetime. It will bring attention, focus and a higher perspective on the spiritual and cultural impact of your actions, relationships and connections. Inherent in the vibration is a touch of karma, blessing others or misusing the light, stage and impact that you can have on others. You have to decide what kind of legacy you're building.
BALANCED: Fame. Spotlight. Everything you do has your mark on it. A vibration that promises fame and being remembered beyond your lifetime. Overcoming the odds. There is a fun and showy side to you, and you love the attention.
UNBALANCED: Notoriety. A deer caught in the headlights. You become the unwilling center of attention. Stories about you will not die down. Being in the spotlight makes you ambivalent. Everything in your life is a hurdle that you need to deal with and overcome.
The vibration of 8 spans the spectrum from black sheep to gifted and creative genius. You HAVE to follow your own path though! Why try doing things that just pay the rent or are the logical next step of a plan you're not even excited about? You have to be passionate in your endeavors, the work you do have to resonate and inspire you. Hard work is not a deterrent as long as it feels rewarding at the same time. With 17/8 this need to follow your own logic can be really apparent from early on. With 17/8 you see what could amplify and light up a situation or challenge for the greater good. There is support, spiritual rewards and a sense of purpose available to those who use this force for the good of others.
People with this energy will often have a tough time finding the right people, and spaces for their work. Often they will end up having to create their own and keep the friends and collaborators they find with them for a whole life time. Once you step inside their circle you stay there. They are very black and white in their thinking though so betrayals or turn-coast will not be forgiven or forgotten quickly or easily.
With 17/8 it is rarely the straight route to your dreams, but there is rewards and lessons in the detours. Don't worry about explaining yourself to others, your work will speak for you and how you show up will set the tone that the right people will resonate with. The vibration will attract the kind of attention that can put you on a pedestal or make you out to be the bad guy, leaning non-attachment to other people's stories about you is crucial.
To make the most of this vibration you have to not get distracted, not get drunk on the attention or feeding the world a false story about yourself. Be authentic, and honest. Focus on building a daily practice that makes you feel grounded and powerful. Work from you own point of view and collaborators that inspire you. Apply consistency in how you approach and use your voice and body.
When this vibration is inharmonious and not supporting your essence, a deep feeling of being misunderstood and bad in the eyes of others can dominate your mindset.
Living up to other people's 'version' of you can stop you from refining your goals. You start feeling left out, empty and your life seems filled with old versions, agreements made by others, work that drains you and a general sense of being rejected and seen as less than what you are.
It can get maddening when you're stuck in a life and story that doesn't feel authentic and real to you. Taking time out and away from others can be beneficial, always returning to working with the body and mind you're in -right now- and not get stuck in wishful thinking.
17/8 is a notoriously difficult name vibration for people born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd and 31st to carry. Many people born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st and 30th can also get addicted to the attention it gives them and give up some of their own power in exchange for the spotlight.
