HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

HIS HEART'S DESIRE IS a 5, which tells us he enjoys change, variety, adventure, and most of all freedom. It indicates he has a rebellious streak, and dislikes being controlled by anyone or anything. His Personality number is a 4. This is the exact opposite of his 5 Heart's Desire. His 4 Personality means others may well see him as disciplined, possibly even rigid, after all, the 4 is a detail-oriented and careful planner who dislikes change or unexpected events. This influence wants to be always in control. However, while others will probably view him as disciplined and reliable, a deeper part of him, his 5 Heart's Desire, is drawn to freedom and versatility. The 5 is also easily distracted, the opposite of his Personality. This could produce confusion and frustration, especially during his younger years.

As a child, he will challenge his parents and teachers. There will be periods when it is very difficult for them to gain even a small measure of control over him. He will be capable of changing abruptly from the rebellious, troubling child to the obedient child. These are manifestations of the dueling aspects of 4 and 5 in his chart.

His Expression reveals his talents, abilities, and shortcomings, especially as they relate to his career and productive life. Fortunately, his 9 Expression is compatible with both numbers. This is helpful because it is the dominant number among the three. In his case it functions a little like a referee. It tells us he can interact with people from all walks of life. The seeds of tolerance, empathy, and idealism form the foundation of his character, although they may take time to mature. The 9 is the most demanding and sophisticated of all single-digit numbers; it is the politician's number, but it also has an artistic streak. Fashion designers, photographers, and architects often have a 9 in this position.

Career options include anything requiring management and organization. The methodical, detail-oriented traits of the 4 would fit well there. He would probably be happiest if it also had a global angle, requiring travel or regular communication with people in different corners of the world. This would please his adventurous 5. The military or law enforcement are also suitable. Most importantly, he needs to feel he is doing something for the betterment of humanity.

In his personal life, he is probably drawn to artists, eccentrics and people with big dreams and plans. The mundane does not interest him. Although he may not be the most demonstrative romantically, he is capable of true love and loyalty. He might not be as comfortable exposing his vulnerable side.

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