HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

When the 1, 2, and 8 team up, the potential to achieve greatness in a career is increased. Both the 1 and 8 are driven to overcome obstacles through effort and determination.

Coasting through life is enough for some people, but his numbers suggest that is not an option for him. He will feel he gets more than his fair share of difficulty and challenge, but the truth is he subconsciously seeks them out.

His 1 Expression and 2 Personality are opposites that sometimes conflict and at other times complement each other. The cooperative, diplomatic 2 pulls him one way, while the confrontational, take-the-bull-by the horns attitude of his 1 Expression pulls him in the opposite direction. Fortunately, his 8 Heart's Desire is the perfect third partner in this line up, bringing focus and a clear set of goals. Because it is his Heart's Desire number, it is the main motivation behind the decisions he makes. This addition positively affects the relationship between the opposing forces of his 1 Expression and 2 Personality. It contributes balance and harmony, like a third sibling who plays peacemaker between two others.

In addition, the tact and diplomacy of his 2 Personality - a human resource number par excellence - will help the 8 circumvent the usual people-related pitfalls. When he combines these qualities, no goal should be out of reach.

If he is unable to keep the opposing forces from colliding, however, he will find it increasingly difficult to accomplish his objective. For a good indicator of how well he is doing in that respect, look at his general state of mind. If he usually feels calm and level headed, he is finding a balance between these potentially conflicting aspects. If he is often impatient or irritated, he should allow the gentle 2 to play a larger role in his life, as it is being dominated by his aggressive 1 Expression.

In his personal life finding a balance between his core numbers is the key to having happy and harmonious relationships.

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

HE HAS A 1 EXPRESSION

A man with a 1 Expression is a natural leader, independent,  individualistic, ambitious, original, and courageous. He employs new and unproven methods. He is an explorer and an innovator. Openness to too many peripheral influences limits and frustrates him. He is self-reliant, confident, energetic, and springs into action when leadership is needed. He possesses executive abilities and is most successful at owning or independently managing a business. He needs the freedom to make his decisions, based on his ideas. He easily assumes the role of protector. He can be an astute politician. He also possesses the ability to influence the opinions of others.

The number 1 symbolizes the front-runner, pioneer, warrior, risk-taker, and daredevil. Generals, top politicians, successful businesspeople, self-made millionaires, religious leaders, inventors, activists, and avant-garde artists are often born with a 1 Expression.

Strength and perseverance are central to his success. He must be willing to travel the frontiers of life, away from the beaten path. He possesses a great reserve of willpower that must be directed at his goals. He does not give up, but relentlessly pursues his aims.

He is quite opinionated. People tend to be inspired or repelled by his strong personality. He has great powers of concentration and the ability to visualize his goals, thus making them more attainable. He stands up for his convictions and holds his ground. All these abilities enhance his chances of success in life.

There is a tendency to be self-centered. He can be domineering and, in the extreme, a bully. He can be highly critical of others, complaining that people lack the industry or determination ha possesses. But this lack of understanding can alienate friends and family members. He must learn to control this tendency to maintain harmony in relationships. Once he is convinced of the inherent correctness of his ideas, he stubbornly -- and sometimes rigidly -- defends and propagates them. He must learn to avoid obstinacy and antagonism, and cultivate balance, compassion, and perseverance.

Pride can be his downfall. He so powerfully identifies with his goals and ambitions; he sometimes refuses to see a potential flaw or weakness in his well-laid plans.

He possesses strength and determination, which, when applied to any endeavor he is committed to, will lead him to great success in life.

HIS HEART'S DESIRE IS 8

He wants success in its fullest meaning -- wealth, power, and material comforts. He has an enormous ambition. He dreams of big projects, great undertakings, and rewards. He is a visionary. He sees the horizon and the promise. In general, he also sees the methods necessary to fulfill that promise. But he is not especially good with details; he needs others to help him deal with the smaller parts of the picture.

His challenge is to make use of the full spectrum of his abilities, as indicated by his other core numbers. In the same way, he must bring forth the best from others and orchestrate their talents toward the realization of his vision. In short, he must lead by example, demonstrating the standard for commitment, determination, and excellence.

All of this requires effort on his part. He will meet with obstacles and difficulties. His determination and commitment will be tested. But he has the power to overcome every obstacle he faces and accomplish the goal he is set for himself.

His task in life is to learn to use power in refined and elevated ways. The expression and use of power is directly related to one's personal evolution. The more primitive uses of power rest with violence and the threat of deprivation. The higher expressions depend upon his capacity to care for and nourish the people and projects in his charge, giving each precisely what is needed at the appropriate time and in appropriate amounts.

He has a creative mind and an unusual approach to business and problem-solving. He needs to cultivate his ability to evaluate others. It is essential for him to be involved in a project that challenges him and offers the potential for rewards. When he is uninvolved or unoccupied with a worthwhile task, he can become deeply despondent, depressed, and frustrated. He is the perfect example of the old saying, "Idle hands are the devils workshop." Without a challenge, he can lose balance in life and become selfish, cruel, and even self-destructive. Disappointments become shattering, causing terrible consequences in self-image and self-love. Perspective is everything for him. He has a natural talent for balancing the spiritual and material planes.

He needs to cultivate courage and stamina. Courage is a choice. He needs to decide to be brave in the face of fear. A balanced 8 is among the most powerful and satisfying of numbers. It is the spirit of the true survivor, able to bounce back and achieve a greater victory.

HIS PERSONALITY IS A 2

He appears friendly and unpretentious. He has a soft and warm exterior. Others perceive him as gentle, a safe harbor. People are drawn to him because, among other reasons, he appears warm and unthreatening.

His dress is neat and clean. His clothing should be comfortable, soft, and flowing. He should avoid plain and understated clothes. He should try to be a little more daring and exciting in his appearance. This will balance nicely with his perceptive and open personality.

He is very patient and understanding, and a wonderful listener. He makes others feel important and loved. He is sensitive and becomes tense in a disharmonious atmosphere. He has experienced quite a bit of negative criticism as a child, which may have made him shy growing up. Though he may be well past that shyness, a bit of the vulnerability has remained with him and is often sensed by others.

He is a peacemaker; arguments leave him drained. People sense his desire for harmony. But he must avoid being the blank tablet for others' projections. People may underestimate his strength, but this is a mistake. He is strong. He bends but does not break. Exercise is important to his appearance and to promote the level of strength he radiates.

He has a fine sense of beauty and excellent taste. There is a grace in his movements, reflecting his keen sense of harmony and refinement. The other sex is attracted to his gentle and attentive nature yet senses the passion beneath his surface. He has sex appeal.
