You could use the Polar Coordinates arranging. Make a big circle, make 8 smaller circles, select everything (make sure to select the big circle first or last), then select the correct options in the dialog (Object -> Arrange, 2nd tab).
Something doesn't work? - Keeping an eye on the status bar can save you a lot of time!

This will help:

Hold down Shift while clicking on the circles to add them to the selection. You can make the smaller circles larger to get overlapping.
