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, versatile, and highly adaptable 5 Personality represents the "bad" child.

During his early years and throughout his late teens, chances are 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 takes 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 could 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 will find 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. It loves travel and living an unconventional life, 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 matters of the heart is precisely what makes it 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 are, and has the ability to maintain a peaceful environment, sometimes even among very different people. He is a diplomat, but with a personality that reflects a willingness to take the road less travelled. (Diplomats are normally not expected to be unconventional, but he is.)

The wild streak reflected in his 5 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, can 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 5

Freedom is essential for his happiness. He loves change, new experiences, meeting new people, adventure, and travel. He loves the exotic, faraway places. Variety is more than mere spice of life -- he thrives on it. He is extremely flexible and adaptable. He has more curiosity than the proverbial cat. He has a sharp mind and a natural ability with words. He is a born communicator, clear, fluent, and imaginative in every area that interests him -- which are many!

His Heart's Desire makes him very well equipped for life. Change -- the only constant in life -- does not threaten him, as it does other people. He is highly resourceful. Generally, he can think clearly in a crisis; he has good mental and physical reflexes. Whenever he falls, he tends to land on his feet.

He is highly enthusiastic. He gets excited easily over a new idea or opportunity. His nature is unconventional. He is a bit of a gambler, taking risks whenever he thinks the rewards are worth it. He is socially oriented and rarely, if ever, dull, or boring. He is, of course, drawn to those people who, like himself, are original thinkers and have exciting personalities.

He enjoys being involved in several projects at the same time. He needs continual stimulation by the new and fascinating. He tends to discard boring pastimes quickly. His love of freedom and change can have numerous consequences. He can be irresponsible, especially when it comes to finishing tasks. He has a hard time persevering at a given project and bringing it to completion.

He must be careful that his love of sensory pleasure does not lead him to excessive indulgence in alcohol, food, sex, and even drugs.

He is a bit of a hero and wants to save the world. This causes him to make promises he often cannot keep. Down deep, he longs to please everyone, an impossible goal. Many 5s can be emotionally superficial. They feel love passionately, but fear making deep and lasting commitments. As a result, they resist the depths of emotional attachments and remain on the surface where it is safe.

He will experience many changes and unusual events, but he learns best through experience. Therefore, his life will be full, and he will make great strides in personal growth.

HIS PERSONALITY IS A 6

He radiates understanding and compassion. People sense his warmth and fairness. For this reason, he attracts many people who need comfort, including the disadvantaged. People tend to come to him to unload their burdens. He inspires confidence. He has a fine sense of justice. He does everything in his power to keep the harmony and is even willing to sacrifice his personal desires for the good of others. He can take this too far, however, sometimes playing the role of the martyr. 

He must guard against being taken advantage of. He is not always a very good judge of character. He tends to see the best in others. He also can become too involved in the lives of others, to his own detriment. He is hospitable and domestic. He loves children and is a good parent. He is romantic, faithful, and very protective.

He is artistic. He loves music, flowers, and gardening. He is a natural interior designer. He has an excellent sense of color and taste. He is more concerned with the content of his personality than his appearance, which causes him to be less conscious of the style of his clothes. He is more interested in comfort and the utility of clothing than the statement it makes.

Six Personality Numbers are exceedingly generous. He is not particularly logical when it comes to finances. He is very vulnerable to praise and criticism. He tends to worry a lot, causing stomach problems.

People see him as a maternal or paternal figure. They want to relax in his presence and unburden themselves. He is the safe port in the crowd.
