HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

The core numbers from his name occupy opposite ends of the spectrum. His 1 Expression and 1 Personality make him an independent, ambitious, goal-oriented individual with strong leadership qualities, but they also create the potential of becoming too focused on himself and his goals.

His 9 Heart's Desire reflects compassion, sophistication, tolerance, and a global awareness that makes it possible for him to work with people from all cultures, races, and walks of life. The number 9 is often called the Mother Teresa number, which helps explain why the self-oriented 1 Expression does not always see eye-to-eye with the sacrificing nature of his 9 Heart's Desire.

To make things a little more challenging, he has been given the number 1 twice, making it likely that it will dominate his 9 Heart's Desire. Finding a balance between these competing and opposite forces will be crucial.

His career options also offer two distinctly different paths. He will look for a career or business where he can be his own boss. This is typical of a 1 Expression. However, his idealistic 9 Heart's Desire does not have any problem working for a large institution or corporation. In fact, that is usually where the 9 is most comfortable. Examples that offer the best of both worlds are in-house attorney, politician, military leader, positions in upper management, construction, and artist (especially in fashion, interior design, or architecture). A career that satisfies his need to be in charge, as well as his desire to support a greater cause or idea, can bridge these dual aspects.

In his personal life, he may have trouble finding a partner, as the hardheaded 1 and the aloof 9 often have difficulty committing. He makes friends easily, but he can be confrontational and unforgiving, making it difficult to sustain friendships and romantic relationships. Interestingly, he is best suited to work or socialize with strangers - another reason so many people with a 9 Heart's Desire are found in politics and diplomacy.

HE HAS A 1 EXPRESSION AND A 1 PERSONALITY

He is a natural leader, independent and individualistic. He is extremely ambitious, original, and courageous. He employs new and unproven methods. He is an explorer and an innovator. Openness to too many peripheral influences limits and frustrates him. He is self-reliant, confident, and energetic. He easily assumes the role of protector. He springs into action when leadership is needed. He possesses executive abilities and is most successful at owning or independently managing a business. He needs the freedom to make his decisions, based on his ideas. He can be an astute politician. He also possesses the ability to influence the opinions of others.

The number 1 symbolizes the front-runner, pioneer, warrior, risk-taker, and daredevil. Generals, top politicians, successful businesspeople, self-made millionaires, religious leaders, inventors, activists, and avant-garde artists are often born with a 1 Expression.

Strength and perseverance are central to his success. He must be willing to travel the frontiers of life, away from the beaten path. He possesses a great reserve of willpower that must be directed at his goals. He does not give up, but relentlessly pursues his aims.

He is quite opinionated. People tend to be inspired or repelled by his strong personality. He has great powers of concentration and the ability to visualize his goals, thus making them more attainable. He stands up for his convictions and holds his ground. All these abilities enhance his chances of success in life.

There is a tendency to be self-centered. He can be domineering and, in the extreme, a bully. He can be highly critical of others, complaining that people lack the industry or determination ha possesses. But this lack of understanding can alienate friends and family members from him. He must learn to control this tendency to maintain harmony in relationships. Once he is convinced of the inherent correctness of his ideas, he stubbornly -- and sometimes rigidly -- defends and propagates them. He must learn to avoid obstinacy and antagonism. He must cultivate balance, compassion, and perseverance.

Pride can be his downfall. He so powerfully identifies with his goals and ambitions; he sometimes refuses to see a potential flaw or weakness in his well-laid plans.

He radiates with a dynamic and efficient energy. He appears controlled and capable. He values courage and effort in the face of difficulties and these qualities show. Others can sense that he will not be pushed around. He possesses strength and determination, which, when applied to any endeavor he is committed to, will lead him to great success in life.

He should dress in a dignified and correct manner, caring for the details of his appearance. While he may spend most of his time in staid business dress or suits, bright and cheerful colors work well for him. He is fashionable but has his own style. His appearance suffers more than most people when he is overweight. Overweight directly contradicts the type of personality he is trying to project. Straight lines and square corners accent his good physique and enhance his appearance as a leader.

HIS HEART'S DESIRE IS 9

He wants to be of service to the world. His deepest satisfaction comes from knowing that he has advanced the cause of humanity. His ideals are of the highest order. He is a perfectionist. He strives to make the world a utopia; to make each person's lot in life better; to become perfect himself. One of his challenges in life is to strive toward his lofty goals and at the same time recognize the good he is doing.

He likes and is fascinated by people from all walks of life. Human nature is a lifelong study for him. He is highly intuitive, but not an especially good judge of character. He is a bit naive, as well, thinking perhaps that all people have the same values as him. He dreams of having the resources to immediately relieve the suffering of others, whether it is economic, physical, or psychological. He is gifted with a good mind and a great deal of wisdom, which makes him a natural teacher, counselor, or healer.

As much as he desires to be of service to others, he also craves fame and the approval of the masses. Much of the energy he expends in life is directed toward putting himself before an audience, most often as a salesperson whose product provides some social good; as a philanthropist; or an artist. He is attracted to the arts as a vocation, especially as an actor, photographer, or writer. But whatever his profession, any involvement in the arts, even as a hobby, will provide him with a deep and lasting satisfaction.

Secretly, he dreams of having a big impact on the world. Others may see this as egotism, especially when he is still young. But his concern for others is genuine. He must apply himself in this direction to become psychologically whole and personally satisfied.

His vision is on the crowds of people, which can cause him to overlook the needs of those closest to him. He needs personal love as well but tends to put his needs in the background. Still, he is a loving person, and only needs to be reminded to direct and demonstrate that love to those nearby. If, however, he is focused exclusively on the masses, people will perceive him as distant and a bit aloof.

He is emotional, and sensitive. He can also be moody and critical. He has high expectations for himself and others. This can cause him much anger when his expectations are unfulfilled. One of his most important life lessons is to forgive.

Because he is striving hard to attain high ideals, he may think of himself as superior to others. Arrogance is a trap many 9s fall into. The danger is that arrogance cuts him off from the thing he loves the most: people. His happiness and contentment are therefore highly dependent on the ease with which he can serve and influence humanity.

It is the paradox of his Heart's Desire that he receives by giving. Both his material success and spiritual satisfaction are made possible through service and sacrifice to others.
