HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

Many stories have been written about the good son versus the bad son (or, rather, the obedient, responsible child versus the adventurous, wild child). He has within him both sides in approximately equal measures. His loving, sympathetic, and responsible 6 Heart's Desire symbolizes the "good" child, while his adventurous, rebellious, street-smart, and highly adaptable 5 Personality represents the "bad" child.

During his early years and throughout his late teens, one or the other will dominate. He will be described as either the proverbial "good kid" (maybe too good in the eyes of some) or he will be the one who forever gets into trouble. Whichever side is reflected in his childhood, it may take time for the less prevalent aspect to move to the foreground, gradually bringing more balance to his life.

Finding an outlet for the adventurous, freedom-loving 5, while maintaining commitments to his family, work, and community is crucial, and may be a challenge for him. The 6, his Heart's Desire number, is the most loving of all numbers, and it is in loving, lasting relationships that he finds his happiness. For this reason, it is important for him to be part of a community and to stay involved in the lives of those he cares about.

His 5 Personality, on the other hand, is all about space and freedom, being impulsive and taking risks. He loves travel and living an unconventional life. He is hesitant to commit, and dislikes being limited in any way. Combined with the traits of the responsible, committed 6, there could be some conflict. Fortunately, it is an easy one to remedy, thanks in no small part to his 2 Expression.

His 2 Expression is his stabilizer. This may not make sense considering that the 2 is the most emotional of all numbers, but its strong connection to all matters of the heart is precisely what makes the 2 an ideal mediator between his 6 Heart's Desire and his 5 Personality. His 2 Expression makes him intuitive and sensitive. He is better at reading facial expressions and body language than most people. He can maintain a peaceful environment, sometimes even among very different folks. He is a diplomat, but with a personality that reflects a willingness to take the road less travelled.

The wild streak reflected in his 5 Personality will never leave him entirely and it is important to fulfill that side of him. Travel, exploring nature, and other activities where space and freedom are a large part of the experience, help satisfy his restless inner nature. Alternatively, the 5 has the potential to choose a different and less desirable outlet, such as drug or alcohol abuse, overeating, or other addictions (not uncommon in people with one or more 5's among their name numbers).

In his professional life he has a wide range of options, but there, too, a regular change of environment is important. A profession that consists mainly of routine activities should be avoided.

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

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 2 EXPRESSION

He has a great talent for working with others and possesses tact and refinement. He has a highly developed intuition. This provides him with insight into personalities and situations. Therefore, he acts with tact and subtle persuasion. He possesses a kind of radar, avoiding the landmines within another's personality, yet bringing out their goodwill. These abilities make him the perfect diplomat. He is a good counselor with an inborn talent for psychology and finely tuned intuition.

His abilities are better expressed while working with others than by working alone. In the same way, he performs better in a partnership than in a leadership role. He seeks balance and peace in all relationships and situations. The key to his personality is sensitivity, but there are two sides to the coin: He can perceive the thoughts and emotions of others and can work gently with others for a mutually shared goal. This makes him a great asset in any group endeavor. 

However, his sensitivity makes him vulnerable. He can be thrown off balance by an unkind word, a conflict, or by hostile conditions at work. He is far more upset by these conditions than people without his sensitivity. While others appear to be enduring troubled times with a modicum of turmoil, he suffers the turbulence of life as if his very survival were at stake.

In difficulties, he tends to persevere and steadily erode the resistance. He is like a gentle wind that shapes the rock.

He is friendly and open-minded. He is a great support person, pulling the best out of those around him. He is the power behind the throne. He is indispensable to the leadership of another, providing insight and advice that is essential. Yet, despite the invaluable service he provides, he often does not get the credit and recognition he deserves, which can be frustrating. His natural modesty and the enjoyment he gets from being an important asset is usually satisfaction enough for him.

Close relationships are essential to his happiness. When single, he dreams of finding his "soul mate." When married, he is concerned with his spouse's needs, emotions, and thoughts. He is an outstanding marriage partner, giving, thoughtful, and conscious of meeting the needs of his loved one. He provides great support for his spouse's career. He is a passionate lover.

Parenthood is not an easy role for him, probably because he lacks the will to enforce discipline and needs a tranquil, delicate, and harmonious environment.

He is blessed with a high degree of musical talent. He has a good sense of rhythm and harmony.

HIS HEART'S DESIRE IS 6

His attention is directed to helping and caring for those he loves. He is exceedingly domestic. He loves his home and family and works hard to make both comfortable and secure. His love for family and friends is a major source of his happiness and sometimes unhappiness. His desire to help others is so strong he often finds himself sacrificing his own personal needs for someone else's. He can overdo it, becoming too deeply involved in other people's lives. He risks interfering in personal matters or smothering those he loves in too much affection. This can be especially weakening to children, who never experience their own personal strength if an adult is too protective.

He is extremely loyal and rarely lets anyone down. He needs to feel appreciation for his giving and caring. He wants to know that he is needed. He is generous and very forgiving. He is somehow able to overlook the worst mistakes in another and finds enough good in that person to continue the relationship. He is patient, warm, and sympathetic, sometimes to the point of sentimentality.

He has a natural ability as a counselor and healer. He is an excellent listener, compassionate and understanding. He can both sympathize and empathize with a person's dilemma. His challenge as a counselor is to be adequately educated so that he can do more than provide a sympathetic ear or shoulder.

He possesses a great deal of artistic talent, though he may not have a lot of confidence in his ability. Art gives him a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction. He is especially sensitive to his environment and has a knack for creating an artistic, healing, and harmonious atmosphere in his home or work space.

His deepest intention is to love those around him and be loved in return. Six is the most loving of all numbers, especially in one-to-one relationships. His instincts are toward his family and friends. He envisions a beautiful and harmonious life with love as the basis for all social interaction. His love is returned manifold; people appreciate him and the love he gives and are willing to go to great lengths to keep him close at hand.

HIS PERSONALITY IS A 5

He is a stimulating person. He brightens social gatherings with his fresh and original ideas. His conversation tends to be sprinkled with novelty and wit. He has a quick tongue and charisma. He is probably an excellent salesperson. There is a lot of nervous energy within him looking for an outlet. He loves his freedom, and he sees this life as an ongoing adventure. He is upbeat and optimistic. This is infectious for those he meets. As a result, he inspires others. He has a strong and attractive body, with good muscle tone. His movements are supple, graceful, and athletic.

His bane is that he loves to indulge his senses with food and drink and can easily gain weight. He has an appetite for anything that stimulates the senses -- sex, food, alcohol, and drugs. Discipline is a necessity for him. The negative side of a 5 Personality Number can give rise to an addictive personality.

He likes to dress fashionably and can get away with more colorful clothes. However, he should be aware of the value of quality and the power of modesty.

He is a little irresponsible and quick in satisfying his sensual urges. He is attractive and that, coupled with his innate ability to promote himself, makes it easy for him to satisfy his desire for new and exciting relationships. He has a kind of swashbuckling personality. People see him as the adventurer that he is. They expect the unexpected from him.

He has a quick and eclectic mind. He attracts information from all directions, but he can be a bit superficial, skimming over the surface of a wide diversity of subjects. This may cause him to be a bit of a dilettante. He can get away with it much of the time, but for his own success and happiness, he should try to ground knowledge and deepen his understanding.

His versatility and adaptability make him capable of getting the most out of virtually every opportunity in life. He decides quickly on a course of action and his timing is usually good. He radiates with the potential for success, which attracts others who can further him along his path.
