Angel number
The 878 angel number is read as ambition that comes back around: 8 opens it, 8 closes it, and the digits add to 23, which reduces to 5 — freedom, change, appetite for experience.
The meaning
878 dips to 7 and climbs again: 8 → 7 → 8 (−1 and +1).

Under its root, 5: whether the urge to move is toward something or away. What 5 means in twin flame →
For money, 878 starts and finishes on 8: control of resources, from the approach to the outcome.
Under its root, 5: money as mobility rather than security. What 5 means in money →
At work 878 leans on its repeated 8: management and executive weight, with 7 (research and specialist depth) alongside.
Under its root, 5: roles that keep changing shape. What 5 means in career →
