HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

His Expression number is 6, his Heart's Desire is 6, and his Personality is 9. This is a creative, artistic combination. It is also strongly focused on his interaction with people close to him as well as in the broader community.

His Expression and Heart's Desire numbers are the same, creating significant advantages but also a few disadvantages. His Heart's Desire reveals his likes and dislikes, and the type of lifestyle he prefers. His Expression number describes his vocational strengths and talents. The fact that they share the same number should enable him to find a career that suits him more easily than most people. The number 6 desires relationships with others, whether family, friends, co-workers, or strangers. He has an inborn desire to improve their lives, to protect, support, heal, and educate.

In addition to the number 6, he possesses a 9 Personality. The shape of these symbols suggest they have much in common. Both can be likened to reservoirs with an outlet. The outlet in the 6 reaches up, the 9 reaches down. The love and care that comes naturally to the 6 is mainly directed toward people close by: family, friends, and people in his community. Similar sentiments are typical of the 9. It incorporates a comparable sense of responsibility, empathy, and the willingness to sacrifice for others, however it is directed toward the global community. The 9 is more interested in other countries and cultures.

The two numbers have differences as well. The down-to-earth 6 is warm and outgoing. The sophisticated, aristocratic 9 is considerably more subdued and can seem aloof. Since the 9 is his Personality number some people might find him hard to reach and difficult to read. However, those who know him well, will see him as open and accessible, his deeper, more intimate side expressed by his 6 Heart's Desire.

The disadvantage of having numbers that make him easily affected by the needs of others is the possibility of being taken advantage of. Another potential drawback is the tendency to intrude in other people's affairs (even when well meaning). At the extreme is the possibility of becoming cynical or emotionally stunted ' a result of the 6 or 9 having been betrayed once too often.

A career in education, medicine, politics, or the law could be an excellent avenue to satisfy his need to help others. In addition, all numbers dividable by 3 are considered creative; both the 6 and 9 have an artistic side, so a career in the arts may be a good fit as well.

HE HAS A 6 EXPRESSION AND 6 HEART'S DESIRE

He is a loving and caring individual 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 PERSONALITY IS A 9

He has an impressive and aristocratic bearing. No matter how tall he is, he appears noble and upright. He is very much in control of the image he sends out to others. Many actors, dancers, and other performers have a 9 Personality Number. He is elegant, graceful, and charismatic. Many admire him. He has the kind of stature that pulls people to him or repels them intensely. Some are jealous of him and may seek to belittle him. He may encourage this to some extent by the amount of arrogance he radiates. This is a caution for all 9 Personalities -- they are sometimes aloof and hold themselves above the world. His challenge is to remain down to earth with his fellow man.

Conversely, he has a great compassion for humanity and wants to dedicate himself to improving the lot of others. He is better when dealing with the trials of the many than the trouble of a single person. He is more capable of working on the grand scale, addressing the needs of society, than on a one-to-one basis.

He is kind and sympathetic, helpful, and compassionate. Behind the controlled and calm facade, he is sensitive, vulnerable, and emotional.

He has excellent taste. There is a good deal of artistic talent in him that shows in his home environment and his clothing. He tends to see himself as a guardian of society, a benevolent leader, guiding and directing his community toward a better world.
