HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

His core numbers are the 5 Heart's Desire, 6 Expression, and 1 Personality. The 5 and 6 embody a conflict like sibling rivalry. In some ways, they do very well together as the stable, responsible, caring brother (the 6) and his enthusiastic, impulsive, dynamic sister (the 5). His 6 Expression has an innate desire for commitment and harmony, while his restless, chaotic 5 possesses a restive nature that could make long-term relationships difficult. As a result, there will be times he feels an ongoing rivalry within himself. This can be emotional and trying. It may cause him to be indecisive, or to change his mind so often it makes him seem fickle and immature. Understanding the different roles the two numbers play in his life can help alleviate these problems.

The 6 rules his Expression, the aspect of his chart that most closely relates to his productive life and vocation. A 6 here suggests a career in medicine or law could suit him. Education also fits, because it suits his giving, caring nature. His Heart's Desire, as the name suggests, indicates what makes him happy, and determines his likes and dislikes. A 5 in this position tells us he needs space and freedom. He dislikes others meddling in his life, and he enjoys being spontaneous, especially with activities that involve some risk and excitement. It is important to honor the somewhat conflicting traits of both his Expression and his Heart's Desire. If he cannot find a vocation that includes the traits of both the 6 and the 5, he should try saving the adventurous, freedom-loving side of the 5 for his off-duty hours, and use the responsible, involved 6 in his professional life. This could provide a satisfying balance.

In addition, he carries the influence of a third core number, his 1 Personality. The 1 is goal oriented. It brings leadership, strength, and independence. Coupled with his dynamic 5 Heart's Desire, he will likely be seen as a courageous, ambitious, unconventional individual.

In his personal life, he has everything he needs to be a good partner and parent, with one caveat; he needs a certain amount of freedom even within the accepted limitations of a committed, tolerant relationship. Again, a conscious recognition of these conflicting sides can help him find an agreeable equilibrium.

Women with a 5 and 6 combination generally find comfort and stability in their personal lives earlier and more easily than men. Men seem to balance these energies more successfully in their professional lives. This is largely due to the bold, aggressive 1 Personality number which, even today, is often viewed as more suitable for men than for women. However, many women have made good use of their 1 core number, taking leadership positions in their careers, projects, and personal life. In addition, this aggressive, individualistic number has inspired many entrepreneurs and freelancers.

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 5

Freedom is essential for his happiness. He loves change, new experiences, meeting new people, adventure, and travel. He loves the exotic, faraway places. Variety is more than mere spice of life -- he thrives on it. He is extremely flexible and adaptable. He has more curiosity than the proverbial cat. He has a sharp mind and a natural ability with words. He is a born communicator, clear, fluent, and imaginative in every area that interests him -- which are many!

His Heart's Desire makes him very well equipped for life. Change -- the only constant in life -- does not threaten him, as it does other people. He is highly resourceful. Generally, he can think clearly in a crisis; he has good mental and physical reflexes. Whenever he falls, he tends to land on his feet.

He is highly enthusiastic. He gets excited easily over a new idea or opportunity. His nature is unconventional. He is a bit of a gambler, taking risks whenever he thinks the rewards are worth it. He is socially oriented and rarely, if ever, dull, or boring. He is, of course, drawn to those people who, like himself, are original thinkers and have exciting personalities.

He enjoys being involved in several projects at the same time. He needs continual stimulation by the new and fascinating. He tends to discard boring pastimes quickly. His love of freedom and change can have numerous consequences. He can be irresponsible, especially when it comes to finishing tasks. He has a hard time persevering at a given project and bringing it to completion.

He must be careful that his love of sensory pleasure does not lead him to excessive indulgence in alcohol, food, sex, and even drugs.

He is a bit of a hero and wants to save the world. This causes him to make promises he often cannot keep. Down deep, he longs to please everyone, an impossible goal. Many 5s can be emotionally superficial. They feel love passionately, but fear making deep and lasting commitments. As a result, they resist the depths of emotional attachments and remain on the surface where it is safe.

He will experience many changes and unusual events, but he learns best through experience. Therefore, his life will be full, and he will make great strides in personal growth.

HIS PERSONALITY IS A 1

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 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.

He is recognized as a pioneer; he has his own ideas of how to do things. He is a risk-taker, original and highly creative. He should be wary of appearing too aggressive or unreceptive. He can intimidate people if he does not soften his exterior somewhat. By doing this, he will attract less confident people who will be more willing to approach him with their thoughts and suggestions.
