HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

The number 3 occurs twice in his core numbers, as his Expression and Personality. His third core number is the 9 Heart's Desire. All numbers dividable by 3 are creative, although expressed in different ways. The 3 covers self-expression, especially in the verbal and performing arts. The 9 brings style and sophistication, including a talent for color and materials. 

This could manifest in fashion or interior design, or a similar profession. However, there is a phenomenon that sometimes occurs when a chart leans too heavily to one side: the individual can turn against their own nature and gravitate toward opposite traits. With this number combination, there is normally not a middle ground. Two to five percent of people appear to be the exact opposite of their charts. When this is the case, the chart is not just a little off, but quite opposite.

This part of his chart teeters on the edge. It suggests that he either loves the arts and has the potential to become successful in that field (in line with his core numbers) or he is not drawn to it, and instead, look for a more practical, grounded profession, such as construction or law enforcement. There is no right or wrong choice; but the decision he makes can influence his happiness and sense of accomplishment. It is for this reason that, even if he does not choose a creative occupation, his chart suggests he should consciously interact with, and broaden his knowledge of, the arts. If he was raised in an environment that supported his interest in the arts, he may find this less of a challenge.

Art is not the only area where the 3 and the 9 thrive. The communication skills of the 3 and the compassion and tolerance typical of the 9 also greatly benefits those in the healing and teaching fields, especially counseling. The 9 is his Heart's Desire number, which tells us he is motivated more by idealism than practicality (not exactly in line with most contemporary values). The 9 incorporates global consciousness and the ability to relate to people from all walks of life. Hence, he would likely benefit from a career that connects him to cultural or global issues, especially if it includes world travel. His Heart's Desire number suggests what makes him happy - as the name implies. It determines his likes, dislikes, and the people and environment he prefers ' so this influence very directly relates to happiness throughout his life.

Although creative and upbeat, the 3 can also be impulsive, superficial, and fickle. Commitment and long-term relationships are sometimes challenging for a person who has both a 3 Expression and a 3 Personality. Consequently, he may want to wait until well into maturity, age 30 or later, before committing to a serious relationship or marriage.

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 3 EXPRESSION AND A 3 PERSONALITY

He is optimistic, inspiring, outgoing, and expressive. People see him as cheerful, positive, and charming; his personality has a certain bounce and verve that so powerfully affects others that he can inspire people without effort. All this upward energy is a symptom of his tremendous creativity. His verbal skills may well lead him into the fields of writing, comedy, theater, and music.

His is the number of self-expression -- rich in imagination and spirit. But he must be careful not to scatter his talents. His bane is that he often lacks discipline and order in his life. He must learn to avoid becoming a "happy- go-lucky" spendthrift, escaping responsibility and commitment. He must learn to concentrate and focus. These are the keys to his success. He has great potential in the arts and areas that require creative solutions to problems. He can perform leaps of imagination, providing unconventional ideas as if they suddenly descended from above. Hard work and focus, however, are the foundation for a successful future.

Though he possesses great verbal skills, his mind tends to see life as pictures rather than in words. He can think abstractly.

Creativity is a sensitive faculty that is often suppressed in childhood. If he lacks the confidence to pursue his ideas, he may divert his abilities into a scattering of trivial pursuits. To overcome this problem, he must make a choice. He must limit his field of vision and the number of activities he engages in and bundle his energies into a single thrust. Focus his life; choose the area that he loves the most and commit. There, he will find success. And a great deal of happiness.

Love, romance, and money are within his reach. He is aided by his friends and admirers. Often people appear out of nowhere to help him in key situations. He must learn to accept the involvement of others in his life. He is not a loner, nor is he particularly independent. He is social -- he needs an audience and the support of others to fully realize his abilities.

On the downside, he can be superficial, moody, and intolerant. He is emotional and sensitive, sometimes presuming criticism where none was intended. He can also be jealous and gossipy. He must beware of becoming cynical and sarcastic. These traits can suppress his natural creativity. He must learn to be goal oriented. This is a practical, step-by-step approach to his larger ambitions. He possesses the natural abilities to attain a high degree of excellence.

HIS HEART'S DESIRE IS 9

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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