The 3 is a happy-go-lucky number that thrives on impulse, creativity, and the gift of gab. It is your Expression number, ~first~, the first number we look at when assessing vocational talents and strengths. Careers highlighting communication and the verbal arts fit in well here, as well as promotion and marketing. The 3, being an odd (rather than even) number also has its drawbacks. It can be more idealistic than practical. Without other influences, it rarely considers the consequences of its actions, and tends to float on the surface of life with little substance to back it up.

Fortunately, your 4 Heart's Desire is as practical, disciplined, and organized as your 3 Expression is scattered. This supplements and balances the 3, leaving most of its positive qualities in place. Additionally, the 4 is your Heart's Desire number, the influence that describes what makes you truly happy, and the determining force behind your motivations, desires, and preferences.

Another fortunate addition to your chart is the presence of an 8 Personality. Your Personality influences the initial perception people have of you. In this position, the 8 brings an image of strength, determination and authority to your multifaceted makeup.

If you imagine yourself as having layers, your deepest "internal" layer (your 4 Heart's Desire) reflects someone who requires stability, is pragmatic, and likes to control as many of life's variables as possible. The next layer (your 3 Expression) reveals a childlike, impulsive, creative optimism, with the top "surface" layer (your 8 Personality) providing dynamic energy and authority.

You may, at times, feel the push and pull of these somewhat conflicting aspects. However, you have the ability to determine which traits you will focus on. This combination suggests that a happy, successful life lies in focusing on your 4 Heart's Desire. Hence, your challenge is to live up to the qualities of the 4 (disciplined, persistent, practical, realistic, and detail-oriented). These traits can provide the foundation to allow your talented, creative 3 Expression to blossom and thrive. Without the focused 4, your gifted 3 will find it difficult to manifest anything worthwhile. If you are able to harness the determination and focus of your 22/4 Heart's Desire, and nurture your creative 3 Expression, your business savvy 8 Personality will be the icing on the cake. It delivers the vision and ambition you need to reach your goal.

In your personal life, the conflicting energies of your business oriented, ambitious 8 Personality, and playful, (sometimes) superficial 3 Expression could prevent a potential romantic partner from recognizing the trustworthy, stable person your Heart's Desire tells us you can be. Generally, however, your charming, charismatic 3 Expression will be your more prominent and beneficial trait.

Now let's look at each of your core numbers individually.
