HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

Both his Expression and his Heart's Desire numbers are 2, generating a resilient, intuitive, and sensitive energy. Teamed with his 9 Personality number, this arrangement offers a limited range of career options but with excellent potential. This will be true particularly in fields that rely heavily on an ability to relate to others. Your number combination is found among the greatest politicians and military leaders.

The diplomatic but somewhat manipulative 2 is extremely competent when dealing with other people, especially those with sensitive egos. The 2 is a peacemaker, someone who can bring harmony and fellowship to the most difficult and conflict-driven environments. Add to that the global consciousness of the 9 and we can see why politics, or one of its many offshoots, such as diplomacy or civil service, is a popular field for people with these numbers. Art, music, and a sense of rhythm also come naturally to the 2, although they can be suppressed by insecurity and the inability to cope with criticism.

Like anyone, he needs to love and feel loved. However, in his case, there is an added dimension. The 2 is his Heart's Desire number, and as such it dominates his needs and desires. This suggests he does not function well unless he is in a partnership. The 2 normally feels a romantic partner is a necessity. He also thrives on the support and professional familiarity of coworkers. He would probably be happiest in an environment that supplies frequent interaction with people working toward the same goal. The military, law enforcement, construction, professional sports, or a small or midsize corporation are a few examples.

His personal life can be a little challenging, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. He has difficulty fending off verbal abuse or criticism and will tend to avoid confrontations. In addition, some people with this combination tend to draw the "wrong" people into their lives (a surprising inconsistency considering the 2's intuition is significantly more finely tuned than other numbers). This subconscious drive to help people who are weak or damaged may cause him to ignore the inner voice warning him to back away. If this is his experience, he should work on self-confidence, and being more selective about the people he allows into his life. He should guard against escaping into denial, or a propensity to blame others.

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 2 EXPRESSION AND 2 HEART'S DESIRE

He has a great talent for working with others; he 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.

He wants peace and harmony in all aspects of his life. He wants to devote his life to someone or something. He falls in love easily. He is extremely sensitive and emotional. He can be sentimental, and he cries at sad stories. He needs friends and society. He appreciates the refinements of life. He desires comfort and security. He has refined taste and can be a connoisseur. He loves music and possesses a good deal of musical talent. His sensitivity is a symptom of his highly developed intuition. But he must learn to trust it.

In difficulties, however, 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.

He is a gentle soul and shies away from confrontation if possible. He experiences a battle within when he does not believe he can handle a situation; this may have a paralyzing effect on him. He prefers to give in when he should assert himself. He must learn to be more decisive. Very often, he is afraid to use his own power in the face of someone else's aggressiveness. He incorrectly perceives himself to be in a weaker position; he may ultimately give in merely to avoid a fight. Conversely, he is extremely diplomatic and tactful. He likes to accomplish things through quiet persuasion. He dislikes force. He must fight uncertainty and doubt. He needs to develop confidence and a willingness to stand up for what he believes to be right.

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 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.
