Your core numbers are an 8 Expression, an 8 Heart's Desire, and a 9 Personality. This is not the easiest combination, but it is potentially very powerful.

The 8 is a practical, realistic, authoritative number. Its unique feature is the ability to find a balance between the material and the immaterial. For that reason, it is the preeminent business number; the 8 understands both the power and the limitation of money and worldly success. It has the ability to use money as a tool, as opposed to simply desiring it. Instead, it is interested in growth, progress, accomplishment, and expansion.

Your Expression number is 8. The Expression indicates your talents, abilities, and weaknesses, particularly as they relate to your career and productive life. You also carry the 8 as your Heart's Desire, making it more likely that you will find a career or business that brings real satisfaction. Your Heart's Desire number reveals what makes you truly happy and determines your likes and dislikes. This combination suggests you are an ambitious, goal-oriented individual who desires progress and expansion in your life.

The number that puts a different twist on your profile, is your 9 Personality. The 9 is the opposite of the 8 in many ways. It is the humanitarian, the volunteer, and the idealist. Your Personality number is the characteristic people notice when you first meet. Having a 9 in this position conveys your compassionate, tolerant, humanitarian nature.

Both the 8 and 9 tend to be financially successful, but for opposite reasons. Your 8 Expression lends the traits necessary to earn money. Willpower, effort, leadership, vision, and a highly competitive nature are the domain of the 8.

The 9 tends to do well precisely because it doesn't do anything solely for the sake of compensation; however, it is often rewarded in both gratitude and money. This contradiction is unique to the 9.

~first~, when it comes to your career, you will probably change direction several times during the course of your life. Business will always be central, but in different ways. You are like a ship being pulled by two tugboats - with captains headed in different directions. With experience and maturity, you have the potential to clarify your priorities and find a balance between giving and taking. This can allow you to accomplish great things.

Your personal life shares a similar scenario. You are driven, opinionated, and feel the need to be in charge. You can be somewhat aloof and may not be demonstrative romantically (although you attract those who are, drawn by your respect and tolerance for others). Under certain circumstances, you can also be a bully - something you may need to watch for. You were given higher-than- average personal power. Be mindful not to abuse it.

Now let's look at each of your core numbers individually.
