HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

His 5 Expression number reveals his talents, abilities, shortcomings, and the general 'goal' of his life. A 5 in this position tells us he is adaptable, flexible, and quick thinking. He needs freedom and dislikes being supervised. She has a freewheeling, energetic, daring approach to life, but may lack stability and focus. He changes his mind often, though rarely when it comes to matters of justice. He always backs the underdog and is drawn to the unconventional. Balancing this side of him nicely, is his 6 Heart's Desire; responsible and stable, it gives his life direction and brings needed balance and stability. The 6 is closely tied to family, community, and home. He also has an 8 Personality, another stable, responsible, pragmatic number. His goal-oriented, competitive 8 will probably benefit him the most in his career and other practical areas. Together, the 5 and 8 creates an excellent fit for an entrepreneurial career. A profession in the military or any other highly restrictive institution or corporation is best avoided.

He probably works better in an atmosphere that allows him to move around, ideally one that includes travel. Routine activities, predictability, and a typical office environment feel restrictive to the 5. He will be in his element if his job requires him to respond quickly to changing circumstances and adapt to new requirements. If possible, he should leave careful planning and methodical follow-up to others.

The 5, 8, and 6 combination is well balanced and harmonious. However, he may experience some conflict between how he presents himself and who he really is. His outer personality is an 8, while HIS HEART'S DESIRE IS a 6. They are compatible, but they can make it difficult for others to perceive the 'real' him. His no-nonsense and, sometimes overbearing 8 Personality can hide the warm, loving interior of his 6 Heart's Desire.

As for romance and long-term relationships, he will be loyal and able to draw others to him, although he may not be overtly romantic. He will be a little footloose and restless during his young adult years but becomes more suited for marriage and other long-term commitments as he ages. This is largely due to his family-oriented, caring 6 Heart's Desire playing off his 5 Expression. He is responsible and endures sacrifice more easily than most. If he chooses to have children, this should make him a good parent as well.

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

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 5 EXPRESSION

A man with a 5 Expression is a free spirit who loves change, adventure, and excitement. He loves his freedom. Like a bird that needs its wings to live, he cannot exist without it. Freedom is the nucleus around which his life revolves. He needs it for his very survival. By using freedom properly, he can explore and develop all his varied talents. He will meet many types of people and travel great distances. Freedom is the atmosphere necessary for him to bring forth his many talents. This man can do almost anything, and probably quite well. Only by avoiding the imprisonment of illusory security is he able to bring forth his abilities.

He is unusually adaptable. In fact, change is a blessing for him. In the same way, he needs challenge and variety. He hates the routine of life; being stuck is a catastrophe for him. He becomes miserable when he is held back or held down. The taste and texture and color of life have an overpowering allure for him. From childhood, he dreams of seeing foreign lands, experiencing the sensual and the exotic. He wants to try everything at least once in life, as all of life is a playground for his senses.

But this can get him into trouble. He may fail to respect his natural limits, either biologically or socially. Any boundary is anathema to him, which can blind him to his natural limits, and may cause him to overindulge his desire for food, sweets, alcohol, sex, and drugs.

He is gifted in his ability to communicate. His facility with words is almost limitless. He can be a salesperson, politician, lawyer, public relations person, and minister. He also possesses the talent to share and advance new ideas. He is talented with his hands. He loves the new and untried. His field is the frontier. He is a bit of a gambler and often plays for very high stakes. All of this combines to give him a youthful enthusiasm, which others find infectious and attractive. He likes to work with others but needs to perform his task unencumbered by the restraints of others.

He is a clever and a quick thinker, but his thought processes -- like his life in general -- can be unorganized and scattered. He must stay grounded and focused if he wants to be successful.

This man falls in and out of love frequently, especially early in life. He is naturally sensual and commonly has a strong sex drive. These characteristics usually make for a lively and exciting love life, but he must guard against shallow feelings and relationships. His challenge is to develop mature and lasting relationships. Self-discipline and setting healthy limits is the key to his success in virtually every area of his life. 

Ironically, he will find that as he learns to set appropriate limits for himself, he develops more self-mastery and realizes even greater freedom. This is especially true when it comes to finishing what he starts. His tendency is to give up once he has a project or job under control; he grows bored quickly and starts to fantasize about a new challenge, or the rewards of a great accomplishment, long before the work is finished.

The 5 Expression desires the whole world. He is aware that he has many talents that can bring much success. But that success depends on his willingness to choose certain areas to concentrate on, and to bring them to perfection.
