HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

His Expression number is 5, and his Heart's Desire number and Personality numbers are both 7. He is most likely quite unconventional, in large part because the 5 and 7 carry dramatically different traits. The 5 is a high-energy, extroverted number. It is social and has a quick but somewhat chaotic mind; it dislikes routine and cannot sit still. 

The 7 is introverted and avoids social events. Serious, intellectual, thoughtful, and logical, the 7 is also a highly creative thinker with a strong spiritual or philosophical side. It has often been called the seeker, but it is far from gullible and does not take anything at face value. Abstract thinking is its domain but even there, it works methodically and in a coherent manner. It is highly idealistic but takes a practical approach to the big questions and mysteries of life. Obviously, the 5 and 7 have little in common, it is a little surprising therefore, that they get along quite well.

Growing up, he adjusts to these conflicting traits by adopting a somewhat chameleon-like personality. He will be introverted in some environments and extroverted in others. This is perfectly healthy if he expresses both sides. However, if he shows his extroverted side far more than his introverted, he will not be able to fully realize his authentic self. Unfortunately, many societies reward extroverted behavior over solitary pursuits. This may encourage him to act in a more outgoing manner socially. Given this, it is important for his wellbeing that he do not 'disown' his inner nature. He should strive to find a balance between these differing aspects of his character by giving his deeper, introverted, inquisitive side all the opportunities it needs to grow and develop.

This combination adjusts well to a variety of career options. His 5 would enjoy a profession that requires frequent interaction with others such as marketing, sales, counseling, or recruiting. Artistic careers are also included in this category. In addition, an academic vocation would suit the scholarly, inquisitive 7. If he chooses academia, he may be best suited for the more solitary work of research and clinical work. Social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists often have a 5 and 7 among their core numbers. Ideally, he will find a career and lifestyle that satisfies both aspects.

As for romance and relationships, he is drawn to mysterious, if not eccentric people. He is not the conventional type, nor does he last long in the company of predictable, "normal" people. He seeks out the unexpected, adventurous, and offbeat in all areas of his life, including his partner, friends, and lifestyle.

HE HAS A 5 EXPRESSION

A person 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 of 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 person 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 salesman, 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 person 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's got 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.

HIS HEART'S DESIRE AND PERSONALITY ARE 7

He loves knowledge, study, and insight. He values the gifts of his mind, which he uses to great advantage to penetrate the mysteries of life. He studies things in-depth. He searches beneath the surface of things. He abhors shallow judgments or opinions.

He has a natural gift for analysis and research. Once he has grasped the facts of a subject, his creativity and abstract approach lifts his thinking beyond the rudimentary to the philosophical. He has a theoretical mind, but rather than indulge in fantasies or idle thought, he prefers to base his theories upon scientific facts. He enjoys mental and physical puzzles - figuring them out, taking them apart, and putting them back together.

Some people may perceive him as cool or aloof. He is somewhat introverted; he may feel slightly removed and even a little different. The fantasy of the hermit or monk engaged in a life of study and meditation appeals to him.

In relationships, he tends to keep things business-like and impersonal. He prefers to talk about the facts of a given situation, rather than the cloudier issues of emotions and personal feelings. He distrusts feelings - both his own and those of others. The whole emotional realm strikes him as unreliable and a bit unnecessary. His inability to fully understand the emotional aspect of life is his Achilles heel. He is so rational that the unpredictability of the heart frightens and surprises him. His challenge is to trust. He needs to share his heart with someone. This is a courageous step for him but will result in enormous growth and satisfaction.

The advice here is to make a true connection with another human being. Without it, he may marry out of convenience or to fulfill social expectations, but it will not lead him out of loneliness. The more removed he is from people, the more he risks isolation, bitterness, and a cynical attitude toward life. 

This choice represents a true crossroads in his development. By sharing himself with others (without compromising his independence and need for privacy) he can cultivate his enormous charm and share his understanding of life. He is a natural teacher and advisor. And the wealth of knowledge he will accumulate in life is meant to be shared with others.

This is not to say that he must compromise on his need for privacy or time spent alone to contemplate life. These are natural aspects of his personality, which are essential to his growth. These characteristics should not be threatening to his spouse but must be understood as fundamental to his being.

He is blessed with a great reserve of intuition, which can be cultivated by regular meditation and contemplation. His "inner voice" is his greatest guide and friend. He is idealistic and has high expectations for himself. He must learn to balance his serious nature with regular doses of fun. His intelligence and cultivation make him charming and distinguished in appearance. As he gets older and more comfortable with his identity, people are naturally attracted to him. They see his wisdom, his deep understanding of life, and the refinement he radiates.
