HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

His Heart's Desire number is 9, his Expression and Personality are both 4. Although the Expression number usually carries more weight, his numbers suggest the Heart's Desire traits are more defining. The 9 is a sophisticated, somewhat aloof number, which some people misread as indifference (although this is far from the truth). 

It is his Heart's Desire number, and it is compassionate, tolerant, and intelligent. He relates easily to people of all countries, cultures, and races. Learning multiple languages is a great advantage to those with a 9 Heart's Desire. A prejudiced 9 is rare, which is why we find many of them in medicine and law. The 9 is drawn to large institutions, projects, and corporations. His Heart's Desire number reveals what makes him happy; a 9 in this position indicates he will be most comfortable in this type of environment.

He has additional influences as well. His 4 Expression describes his talents, abilities, and shortcomings, especially as they relate to his career and productive life. His 4 Personality is the aspect of his character others notice when he first meet. A 4 in both these positions makes him disciplined and well organized. He is a careful planner who can work toward goals in a patient, methodical manner with absolute determination. He likes to control everything down to the smallest detail, and probably has his future meticulously planned out.

In combination, the qualities of his 9 Heart's Desire and 4 Expression produce a complicated individual with a tendency to be underestimated. It may be difficult for people to get to know him because the 4 can be a little stodgy and dull socially, and the 9 is a bit aloof; a combination that can create distance and a feeling of disconnect. If he is aware of this tendency, he can try to connect with people.

The 9 also has a creative, artistic side, especially with combining colors, textures, and materials. Architects, fashion designers, furniture makers, ceramicists, landscapers (a particularly good fit for the earthy 4) and those in construction often have the 9 in a prominent place in their chart. In his case, with the focused and grounded 4 in two places anything that requires working with his hands, from surgeon to hairstylist, will suit him. He should find an activity that is repetitive and routine to keep him centered, but something that is also creative.

In his personal life, romantic relationships may be a challenge. Not only do people tend to misread him, but his expectations may also not always be realistic. However, once a relationship is established, whether romantic or platonic, it will likely be for life.

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 4 EXPRESSION AND4 PERSONALITY

He is the bedrock of society, the foundation of any enterprise. He is an organizer and manager. His approach to life and to problems is methodical and systematic. He is a builder and a doer. He turns dreams into reality. He possesses a highly developed sense of structure. He enjoys management systems and can carry out his well laid plans. He is not the type to embark on any trip without a map.

He takes his obligations and those of his family quite seriously. As a result, he is reliable and responsible. He enjoy seeing a project through from start to finish but can become too narrowly focused. He puts his nose to the grindstone and tends to become a workaholic. He is driven by contempt for all that is unstable, insecure, and unpredictable. He distrusts the unconventional, preferring instead the tried-and-the-true. But this can make his endeavors move slowly and cause him much frustration, especially with the apparent limitations of his resources. At the same time, concern for the limitations of his resources causes him to be careful and cautious, shutting him out from possible shortcuts and creative solutions provided by more daring people around him. It is important that he recognizes restrictions for what they are: guiding forces that are testing and directing him toward his goals. His challenge is to be more imaginative and to attract more creative people into his life who can advise and inspire him.

In relationships, he tends to be somewhat moralistic. He is extremely honest and sincere. He has integrity and is trustworthy but can also be rigid and stubborn. He should avoid letting his strong likes and dislikes overrule his common sense and compassion. He must be more understanding of others' shortcomings.

Because he tends to focus on details, he can fall into a rut and become a little dull and overly serious. Often, people born with the 4 Expression need to lighten up and have more fun. He has a keen eye for detail. He has great stamina and can work conscientiously and persistently toward his goals. This eventually brings him success and standing in his community.

In his conservative and careful way, he is good with money. He is very conscious of the balance between income and expenditures. He can limit his expenditures; saving money is important to him.

He is a surprisingly good parent and loves to be involved with children. Somehow, he relates a little more than others to the innocence of children, perhaps seeing a good deal of himself in them. He, too, is idealistic and respects the simplicity of children.

Many accountants, bookkeepers, government officials, managers, and lawyers are born under the 4 Expression. He can be attracted to the arts and music but will likely bring his love of structure and order to any artistic field. Classical music and opera are particularly appealing and inspiring for him.

He radiates reliability and consistency. People trust him and feel secure with his judgment. He is seen as a cornerstone of a business and is relied upon to do his work efficiently and expertly. He has strength and respectability. He tends to dress in a utilitarian manner, concerned mostly with convention, practicality, durability, and price. He presents himself as someone who values correctness, control, and precision.

He tends to wear earth colors and conventional attire. He could benefit by putting a little flair in his dress. Wear more uplifting colors. Loosen his dress with less severe lines. If he wears a brown suit, include a bright tie or some jewelry.

He is a true patriot. He loves his country and is an integral part of his community. His consistency and adherence to his well-laid plans usually pays off in a comfortable and secure future.

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.
