Lucky Number 8!Today is August 8, 2008. According to Chinese Astrology, the date 08-08-08 is in the year of the Rat, the month of the Monkey and the day of the Dragon. It just so happens that the Rat, Monkey and Dragon are in the same group. That means the three signs are perfectly compatible with each other. Therefore, the date 08-08-08 will be especially lucky for Rats, Monkeys and Dragons. If you’re planning to get married today, be sure that you and your partner fall on the same sign!lol!

So why Chinese people consider the number 8 is lucky? The reason is simple. The number 8 or the word “eight” is similar to the word “fa” which means “prosperity” or “wealth.” While number 4 or the word “four” is considered an unlucky number to them because it sounds like the word “death.”

Now I know why some of the Congressmen in the Philippines are lucky to own more luxury cars than the Senators because they have an “8″ license plate number! :-)
