HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP 

The core numbers from his name are tightly grouped. He has a 6 Expression, 7 Personality, and 8 Heart's Desire. In this combination, his Personality number takes a more dominant position than is normally the case. (His Personality is the side of him he presents to the world, his "facade," rather than the deeper inner reflection of his Heart's Desire.) In this configuration, the 7 is not only somewhat of an anchor, but also the number that gives depth - perhaps even wisdom - to the practical, realistic, even numbers in his chart. This combination is well balanced and fortunate.

 

His 7 Personality makes a thoughtful, intelligent impression, although he may also seem distant or withdrawn. "Hard to reach" is how some people might express their initial perception of him. The truth is, he feels connected to others and desire closeness and interaction in his day-to-day life. Intellectual, analytical, contemplative, and insightful, the 7 is the thinker and seeker of truth. Because his focus is often internal, he may seem somewhat aloof when, in fact, his heart is easily accessible.

His nurturing, sacrificing 6 Expression will be a good balance for his introverted 7 Personality. The 6 is the most loving number - committed, responsible, harmonious, and family and community oriented. It brings tolerance, compassion, and a rich emotional life to the mix.

There is also potential for discord in his core numbers. His 8 Heart's Desire suggests he tends to be opinionated and inflexible at times. There may be occasions when the authoritative, overbearing, goal-oriented 8 blocks his caring 6 Expression and the unique intelligence of his 7 Personality.

The 7 gives him the ability to analyze almost any issue from a variety of angles and come to a well-thought-out conclusion. His challenge will be to recognize the value of this gift and taking the time to do so.

His 8 Heart's Desire, like a tilting doll, stays upright in a fragile balance: one little push and it tips. But tilting dolls have a low center of gravity, making them swing back into balance. His worldview may be a little like that. The fear of losing his balance could make him defensive and attached to his ideas, even though he of all people has little need to worry about that. The 7 is his savior in this respect, if he gives it what it needs: solitude and time to study. He has a serious side, but it lives in the shadow of his dynamic, ambitious, move-over-here-I-come Heart's Desire. It is important that he nurture it.

On the other hand, the 8 is his ticket to success when it comes to his professional life. Ambitious, focused, and goal-oriented, it is the number for entrepreneurship and business. It is authoritative and fearless. Considered the most business-savvy number it is, surprisingly, also the most unattached to money and material assets. Instead, it is interested in growth (albeit material growth) and what can be accomplished with it. It views money as a tool and uses it as such.

His Expression is the first number we consult when considering career options. His 6 Expression is an important element when deciding where his 8 Heart's Desire has the best chance of thriving and the career that will be the most satisfying. The 6 is loving, committed, caring, and sympathetic. Medicine, education, law enforcement, and politics are all fitting for the 6 and 8 combination.

He is romantic and generous. He has the skills necessary to be a good parent or caregiver. He should have no problem with long-term commitments and responsibility. However, it may be difficult, initially, to get past his socially awkward, sometimes eccentric 7 Personality.

Let us look at each of the core numbers for more insight. 

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 6 EXPRESSION

This is a loving and caring man with a tendency to put the needs of others before those of himself. He is responsible and trustworthy with a high regard for justice and honesty. Duty will follow him all his life and sometimes feels a little too much of a burden.

He is artistic; harmony and beauty are high on his list of priorities. He has musical talent but the creative talents of a 6 are sometimes left undeveloped or suppressed because of his tendency to sacrifice his time and pleasure to the service of others. He is highly creative in all areas of life, particularly the visual. He is also a talented business person and can work methodically toward the realization of his goals.

He has a natural gift with flowers, gardens, and animals. His love of children has caused numerologists to dub him the "Cosmic Mother" or "Cosmic Father". The very shape of the 6 resembles and symbolizes "Pregnant with Love". He is a natural counselor and healer. But he must be careful not to interfere with the freedom of others. He is recognized as an idealist, mainly regarding marriage, friendships and humanity.

The 6 is the most harmonious of all numbers, but also contains within itself the greatest paradoxes. It is as if opposite tendencies were tenuously poised. Because of its gift for harmonizing these opposites, he is uniquely qualified to handle and integrate contradictions within himself. It is for this reason that 6s so frequently find themselves in the role of healers or counselors, creating a peace between opposing points of view, or internal conflicts within the self.

While he can be very idealistic, there may also be a temptation to acquire beautiful objects by improper means. He must also guard against other meddlesome behavior and domestic tyranny, or always having to have his own way in a family dispute. Conversely, he has it within himself to understand another person's dilemma and produce a creative solution. His natural ability to give comfort and warmth can smooth over hurt feelings like a healing balm. He attracts love and appreciation. And rightly so because he gives the same in return.

He makes an outstanding teacher (especially young children or special education), healer, counselor social worker, psychologist, artist, designer, gardener, florist, and farmer. He can be successful in business, especially those that involve dealing with people.

HIS HEART'S DESIRE IS 8

He wants success in its fullest meaning -- wealth, power, and material comforts. He has an enormous ambition. He dreams of big projects, great undertakings, and rewards. He is a visionary. He sees the horizon and the promise. In general, he also sees the methods necessary to fulfill that promise. But he is not especially good with details; he needs others to help him deal with the smaller parts of the picture.

His challenge is to make use of the full spectrum of his abilities, as indicated by his other core numbers. In the same way, he must bring forth the best from others and orchestrate their talents toward the realization of his vision. In short, he must lead by example, demonstrating the standard for commitment, determination, and excellence.

All of this requires effort on his part. He will meet with obstacles and difficulties. His determination and commitment will be tested. But he has the power to overcome every obstacle he faces and accomplish the goal he is set for himself.

His task in life is to learn to use power in refined and elevated ways. The expression and use of power is directly related to one's personal evolution. The more primitive uses of power rest with violence and the threat of deprivation. The higher expressions depend upon his capacity to care for and nourish the people and projects in his charge, giving each precisely what is needed at the appropriate time and in appropriate amounts.

He has a creative mind and an unusual approach to business and problem-solving. He needs to cultivate his ability to evaluate others. It is essential for him to be involved in a project that challenges him and offers the potential for rewards. When he is uninvolved or unoccupied with a worthwhile task, he can become deeply despondent, depressed, and frustrated. He is the perfect example of the old saying, "Idle hands are the devils workshop." Without a challenge, he can lose balance in life and become selfish, cruel, and even self-destructive. Disappointments become shattering, causing terrible consequences in self-image and self-love. Perspective is everything for him. He has a natural talent for balancing the spiritual and material planes.

He needs to cultivate courage and stamina. Courage is a choice. He needs to decide to be brave in the face of fear. A balanced 8 is among the most powerful and satisfying of numbers. It is the spirit of the true survivor, able to bounce back and achieve a greater victory.

HIS PERSONALITY IS A 7

He seems mysterious and different. People see him as serious and studious. He is highly independent and self-sufficient. His exceptional intelligence and wisdom are quickly noticed, people respect him. He is not one to attract people based on his warmth or compassion -- though he may be loaded with both -- but because of his obvious insight into life's mysteries. He is hard to get to know. He is often withdrawn. It is common for people to see his focus turn inside of himself in the middle of a conversation. He has the makings of an intellectual and an aristocrat, but he must guard against arrogance and an attitude of, "I've got it all figured out".

There have been periods in his life when he had little concern for his clothing or fashion, while at other times he is very aware of his clothing and uses it to make a specific impression. He appears dignified no matter how he dresses, but a well-groomed seven with a touch of dash has an advantage. His confidence increases when he knows he is well dressed.

His love of knowledge and wisdom shows. He is recognized as spiritual and religious, with his very own ideas regarding the purpose of life and the Creator. He is an inspired speaker, but only when discussing subjects that really interest him. Otherwise, he is not one for chatter.
