HOW HER NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

When the Expression and Personality numbers are the same, it creates advantages as well as disadvantages. The advantage in this case is that her 5 Personality traits reflect the same talents, strengths, and weaknesses as those represented by her 5 Expression. They both carry the dynamic, versatile, adaptable, restless characteristics of the 5. This makes her someone who is easily understood, unlike the person who has more conflicting numbers in this part of their chart. In her case, what others see is what they get. The disadvantage of her combination lies in a conflict between her 9 Heart's Desire and 5 Personality. The social, fun-loving 5 can feel limited by the more inhibited 9.

Her Heart's Desire reveals what makes her happy; it is her "deeper" self. The 9, although not particularly secretive, prefers some distance. It is often viewed as aloof due to its aristocratic, sophisticated bearing. Due to its conscientious, careful nature, it can be frustrated by the irresponsible, impulsive 5. In turn, her dynamic 5 Personality can feel limited by the 9. This inner turmoil has the potential to affect her self-confidence. If so, the discord will likely be an issue mainly during her younger years when impulses tend to rule, and she has not yet learned restraint and self-control.

The 5 benefits from change, so she may want to consider a career that includes travel or social interaction. Healing, teaching, politics, and the legal field are fitting for the 5 and 9 combination. The 9 is also artistic and the 5 is original and at times a shameless self-promoter (a good combination for a creative individual). However, again we find a contradiction, as the 9 is not at all interested in drawing attention to itself.

In her personal life, she tends to make a good impression on people. Her outer personality is interesting and unconventional, perhaps even a little eccentric. Due to her fun-loving, adventurous 5 and somewhat aloof 9, romance may not be her forte early on, causing her to invest much of her time in relationships she knows in her heart have little staying power.

A CLOSER LOOK AT HER 5 EXPRESSION AND A 5 PERSONALITY

She is a free spirit. She loves change, adventure, and excitement. She loves her freedom. Like a bird that needs its wings to live, she cannot exist without it. Freedom is the nucleus around which her life revolves. She needs it for her very survival. By using freedom properly, she can explore and develop all her varied talents. She will meet many types of people and travel great distances. Freedom is the atmosphere necessary for her to bring forth her many talents. She can do almost anything, and probably quite well. Only by avoiding the imprisonment of illusory security is she able to bring forth her abilities.

She is unusually adaptable. In fact, change is a blessing for her. In the same way, she needs challenge and variety. She hates the routine of life; being stuck is a catastrophe for her. She becomes miserable when she is held back or held down. The taste and texture and color of life have an overpowering allure for her. From childhood, she dreams of seeing foreign lands, experiencing the sensual and the exotic. She wants to try everything at least once in life. All of life is a playground for her senses. But this can get her into trouble. She may fail to respect her natural limits, either biologically or socially. Any boundary is anathema to her, which can blind her to her natural limits, and may cause her to overindulge her desire for food, sweets, alcohol, sex, and drugs.

She is gifted in her ability to communicate. Her facility with words is almost limitless. She can be a salesperson, politician, lawyer, public relations person, and minister. She also possesses the talent to share and advance new ideas. She is talented with her hands. She loves the new and untried. Her field is the frontier. She is a bit of a gambler and often plays for very high stakes. All of this combines to give her a youthful enthusiasm, which others find infectious and attractive. She likes to work with others but needs to perform her task unencumbered by the restraints of others.

She is a clever and a quick thinker, but her thought processes -- like her life in general -- can be unorganized and scattered. She must stay grounded and focused if she wants to be successful.

She is a stimulating person. She brightens social gatherings with her fresh and original ideas. Her conversation tends to be sprinkled with novelty and wit. She has a quick tongue and charisma. She has a strong and attractive body, with good muscle tone. Her movements are supple, graceful, and athletic. Her bane is that she loves to indulge her senses with food and drink and can easily gain weight. She has an appetite for anything that stimulates the senses -- sex, food, alcohol, and drugs. Discipline is a necessity for her. The negative side of a 5 Personality Number can give rise to an addictive personality.

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

She falls in and out of love frequently, especially early in life. She is naturally sensual and commonly has a strong sex drive. These characteristics usually make for a lively and exciting love life, but she must guard against shallow feelings and relationships. Her challenge is to develop mature and lasting relationships. Self-discipline and setting healthy limits is the key to her success in virtually every area of her life. Ironically, she will find that as she learns to set appropriate limits on herself, she develops more self-mastery and realizes even greater freedom. This is especially true when it comes to finishing what she starts. Her tendency is to give up once she has a project or job under control; she grows bored quickly. She starts to fantasize about a new challenge, or the rewards of her great accomplishment, long before the work is finished.

The 5 Expression desires the whole world. She is aware that she has many talents that can bring much success. But that success depends on her willingness to choose certain areas to concentrate on, and to bring them to perfection. Her versatility and adaptability make her capable of getting the most out of virtually every opportunity in life. She decides quickly on a course of action and her timing is usually good. She radiates with the potential for success, which attracts others who can further her along her path.

HER HEART'S DESIRE IS 9

She wants to be of service to the world. Her deepest satisfaction comes from knowing that she has advanced the cause of humanity. Her ideals are of the highest order. She is a perfectionist. She strives to make the world a utopia; to make each person's lot in life better; to become perfect herself. One of her challenges in life is to strive toward her lofty goals and at the same time recognize the good she is doing.

She likes and is fascinated by people from all walks of life. Human nature is a lifelong study for her. She is highly intuitive, but not an especially good judge of character. She is a bit naive, as well, thinking perhaps that all people have the same values as her. She dreams of having the resources to immediately relieve the suffering of others, whether it is economic, physical, or psychological. She is gifted with a good mind and a great deal of wisdom, which makes her a natural teacher, counselor, or healer.

As much as she desires to be of service to others, she also craves fame and the approval of the masses. Much of the energy she expends in life is directed toward putting herself before an audience, most often as a salesperson whose product provides some social good; as a philanthropist; or an artist. She is attracted to the arts as a vocation, especially as an actor, photographer, or writer. But whatever her profession, any involvement in the arts, even as a hobby, will provide her with a deep and lasting satisfaction.

Secretly, she dreams of having a big impact on the world. Others may see this as egotism, especially when she is still young. But her concern for others is genuine. She must apply herself in this direction to become psychologically whole and personally satisfied.

Her vision is on the crowds of people, which can cause her to overlook the needs of those closest to her. She needs personal love as well but tends to put her needs in the background. Still, she is a loving person, and only needs to be reminded to direct and demonstrate that love to those nearby. If, however, she is focused exclusively on the masses, people will perceive her as distant and a bit aloof.

She is emotional, and sensitive. She can also be moody and critical. She has high expectations for herself and others. This can cause her much anger when her expectations are unfulfilled. One of her most important life lessons is to forgive.

Because she is striving hard to attain high ideals, she may think of herself as superior to others. Arrogance is a trap many 9s fall into. The danger is that arrogance cuts her off from the thing she loves the most: people. Her happiness and contentment are therefore highly dependent on the ease with which she can serve and influence humanity.

It is the paradox of her Heart's Desire that she receives by giving. Both her material success and spiritual satisfaction are made possible through service and sacrifice to others.
