HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

Working together, his 8 Expression, 4 Heart's Desire, and 4 Personality greatly expand the limits of what is possible for him to achieve. His Expression number is the aspect that reveals his talents, abilities, and shortcomings, especially as they relate to his career and productive life. An 8 in this position indicates he is a visionary, able to see the big picture and set high goals, sometimes far into the future. 

He is business oriented and has authoritative and leadership qualities. He is practical and realistic. His strength lies in his ability to focus on tangible results and measurable rewards, through money, property, or an accumulation of business assets. Yet, he is not as attached to the material world as many are. His willingness to lose money or security to take risks on something new is the main reason his potential for success is high. He has the attributes of an entrepreneur.

His 4 Heart's Desire, however, can put a damper on this entrepreneurial spirit. The 4 is a cautious, grounded, disciplined influence. It has managerial skills and is absorbed in the details of running a business, whereas the 8 grasps the big picture and is less concerned with specifics. Possessing aspects of both traits could create conflict as well as opportunity. His 4 Heart's Desire indicates he prefers to have everything organized, systematic and under his control. He is practical, methodical, and trustworthy. Because it is his Heart's Desire number, to be truly happy and fulfilled he will need to honor the traits of the 4. The advice here is to find a balance between the two - the visionary 8 backed by the efficient, well-organized 4 can be a winning team.

His Personality number is also a 4, which tells us he is reliable and prefers things to be predictable. Others likely view him as dependable and down to earth. These qualities fit well with his Heart's Desire, but they can frustrate the large-scale vision of his 8 Expression. With two 4's obscuring his 8 Expression, it may be difficult to move past his cautious inner voice to follow the promise of his larger, although riskier, vision. He should learn to strive for balance between these conflicting influences.

He should do well in his career, especially in a smaller, independent environment such as owning his own business or run a small to midsize corporation. Large corporations will likely make him feel stunted and deprived of the opportunity to make a valuable contribution. Additionally, he can run a more structured environment such as an institution or medical facility. The 8 and 4 combination is also found with many top-level athletes, as both are considered physical numbers. Any role in the sports field, including management or coaching, could be suitable.

He is probably a little too practical and down to earth to be considered the (demonstrably) romantic type. He may not be comfortable with emotions for the same reason. He is more of a no-nonsense type. However, when he does commit, he can commit for life.

He will benefit more than most from a conscious effort to experience the non-physical world as much as possible. Art, especially dance and music, meditation, and philosophy can offset his serious, sensible, practical side.
HE HAS AN 8 EXPRESSION

A person with an 8 Expression has the power and potential to achieve great things. It is both his challenge and his birthright to gain dominion over a small part of the earth. Whatever his enterprise, he strives to be the best and most successful in his field. He is highly competitive and will not rest until he is satisfied that he has bypassed the opposition. He enjoys challenges and rivalry. He is a realist and a visionary planner. Money and authority are available to him if he is willing to discipline himself - generally an inborn talent - and persevere in the face of the considerable obstacles in his path. He is dynamic and has a talent for efficiency. He understands the larger picture, sees the broader challenges, and knows how to marshal his collective resources to address the problems. He delegates responsibility well; it is best for him to leave many of the details to others.

He is a great leader of people and an outstanding judge of character. He is demanding of those who work for him, often putting things in no uncertain terms: do it my way or don't do it at all! At the same time, he doesn't hesitate to reward the faithful and hardworking employee. He is not a particularly tolerant leader; too much tolerance violates his sense of efficiency. He goes directly after his goal with courage and tenacity.

He has a natural understanding of money, authority, and power. He can struggle consistently after his goal. Eventually power falls to him. Within him lies an innate balance between the higher and lower characteristics of person. His challenge in life is to balance his higher ideals and his understanding of the hard realities of the earth.

Much effort will have to be put out and many ups and downs experienced before he reaches the level of success he desires. Life will probably test him many times with obstacles that seem insurmountable. But these are merely opportunities for him to learn how to use power and authority in the face of difficulties, and to find out just how much power lies within him. It is crucial for his success that he balances the material and the spiritual. He has chosen a path that requires balance between giving and taking, reward and punishment, action, and reaction. Despite the obstacles on his path, he is a true survivor.

When focused exclusively on his desire for results and success, he can become stubborn and intolerant; he can be driven by excessive ambition, causing him to be exacting and without perspective. He needs to be careful of his alcohol consumption, a danger-zone for him. He can be a social drinker, mixing business with pleasure - a dangerous cocktail.

An excellent manager, organizer, and administrator he has talents in many areas of life. Entrepreneurs, executives, bankers, brokers, negotiators, gamblers, coaches, collectors, heads of institutions, builders, art dealers, manufacturers, promoters, military officers, police detectives, smugglers, engineers, pilots, or sea captains often have the 8 prominent in their charts.

This person has been entrusted with special gifts, the use or abuse of which has an immediate and often physical effect upon him and those around him! He must learn to use these gifts for the good of mankind and accept his own good fortune with gratitude. This is his rewarding stage in his evolution.
