HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

He has an 8 Expression, a 3 Heart's Desire, and a 5 Personality. The most significant aspect of his three core numbers is the location they hold in his chart. This also determines how they affect one other.

His Expression number is the most important number for his productive and professional life. An 8 in this position indicates he is authoritative, ambitious, pragmatic, and visionary. He has big dreams and works hard to accomplish his goals. He has strong business skills. In short, the 8 is a practical, goal-oriented number. His 3 Heart's Desire and 5 Personality are dreamers and idealists. Additionally, both numbers are highly creative and unconventional, although in different ways.

The 3 is a playful, scattered number, optimistic, creative, and light-hearted. It is imaginative, enthusiastic, and motivating. Because the 3 is his Heart's Desire number, these are the traits he must honor to be truly happy. However, characteristics of the 3 will conflict with his ambitious, authoritative 8 Expression. The 3 is not particularly interested in money and has trouble staying focused and sustaining the effort necessary to reach goals. His 5 Personality is responsible for his somewhat wild, rebellious streak. It is dynamic, versatile, and adventurous. He prefers the underdog to the sure bet, and probably has a wicked, often sarcastic sense of humor - again, traits not favored by the 8.

His name numbers are obviously somewhat conflicting, but there is a positive side to this combination. His 3 Heart's Desire and 5 Personality get along very well. They are outgoing, social, and ready to embrace just about anything. They provide a welcome and lighter side to his driven, business-oriented 8. His challenge will be to access his playful, creative traits while staying mindful of the impulsive and irresponsible characteristics they possess.

His 8 Expression, the aspect responsible for his drive and motivation, will only be successful if it is able to control the influences of the 3 and 5. These numbers act like three siblings. The eldest, his 8 Expression, is the responsible agent of action. The other two would rather play, socialize, and create art. All three live within him. It is his job to find a successful balance between them. If he does, the sky's the limit.

His personal life is similarly affected by these opposing numbers. He will probably mature later in life; his impulsive, adventurous side could take time to settle down. He is sensual and enjoys life's pleasures. The 3 and 5 combination needs to be mindful of substance abuse and unhealthy lifestyle choices.

As for romance, he has no trouble attracting people, but commitment may not come as easily. His restless 5 can make him reluctant to relinquish his freedom.

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

HE HAS AN 8 EXPRESSION

A man with an 8 Expression has the power and potential to achieve great things. It is both his challenge and his birthright to gain dominion over a small part of the earth. Whatever his enterprise, he strives to be the best and most successful in his field. He is highly competitive and will not rest until he is satisfied that he has bypassed the opposition. He enjoys challenges and rivalry. He is a realist and a visionary planner. Money and authority are available to him if he is willing to discipline himself -- generally an inborn talent -- and persevere in the face of the considerable obstacles in his path. He is dynamic and has a talent for efficiency. He understands the larger picture, sees the broader challenges, and knows how to marshal his collective resources to address the problems. He delegates responsibility well; it is best for him to leave many of the details to others.

He is a great leader of people and an outstanding judge of character. He is demanding of those who work for him, often putting things in no uncertain terms: do it my way or do not do it at all! At the same time, he does not hesitate to reward the faithful and hardworking employee. He is not a particularly tolerant leader; too much tolerance violates his sense of efficiency. He goes directly after his goal with courage and tenacity.

He has a natural understanding of money, authority, and power. He can struggle consistently after his goal. Eventually power falls to him. Within him lies an innate balance between the higher and lower characteristics of man. His challenge in life is to balance his higher ideals and his understanding of the hard realities of the earth.

Much effort will have to be put out and many ups and downs experienced before he reaches the level of success he desires. Life will probably test him many times with obstacles that seem insurmountable. But these are merely opportunities for him to learn how to use power and authority in the face of difficulties, and to find out just how much power lies within him. It is crucial for his success that he balances the material and the spiritual. He has chosen a path that requires balance between giving and taking, reward and punishment, action, and reaction. Despite the obstacles on his path, he is a true survivor.

When focused exclusively on his desire for results and success, he can become stubborn and intolerant; he can be driven by excessive ambition, causing him to be exacting and without perspective. He needs to be careful of his alcohol consumption, a danger-zone for him. He can be a social drinker, mixing business with pleasure -- a dangerous cocktail.

An excellent manager, organizer, and administrator he has talents in many areas of life. Entrepreneurs, executives, bankers, brokers, negotiators, gamblers, coaches, collectors, heads of institutions, builders, art dealers, manufacturers, promoters, military officers, police detectives, smugglers, engineers, pilots, or sea captains often have the 8 prominent in their charts.

This man has been entrusted with special gifts, the use or abuse of which has an immediate and often physical effect upon him and those around him!

At the same time, he may have great difficulty expressing his deeper feelings and important personal thoughts. He prefers to stay on the surface, entertaining people with his wit. If he fails to deal honestly with his inner nature, he may succumb to compulsive talking. Such behavior may be merely a way of siphoning off emotional energy that is building beneath his surface. His deeply felt emotional life cannot be avoided or suppressed. But he possesses the talent to channel these feelings into highly creative and artistic form. Art and self-expression are his outlets.

He needs discipline to make full use of his abilities. Too often, he may scatter his energies in many directions, beginning projects that are never finished and never really succeeding in anything. His success depends on his ability to commit to his work and to see it through to completion. He has so much creativity and inspiring upward energy that he is in desperate need of an anchor. Hard work and discipline serve this purpose and bring out the best in him.

Because he is gifted with such a sparkling personality, he is tempted to stay on the surface and play with life. He is confident and loves the attention others give him, but these characteristics can lead to vanity and self-absorption.
