HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

He has a 5 Expression, an 8 Heart's Desire, and a 6 Personality. His 5 Expression is a highly charged number. It is adaptable and flexible, and desires freedom above all else. It strongly dislikes being supervised. It also gives him a freewheeling, daring approach and plenty of energy. Pairing this unconventional side of him with his 8 Heart's Desire produces a fortunate combination. The 8 gives his life direction as well as needed balance and steadiness. Additionally, his 6 Personality adds a second stable, responsible, pragmatic number.

He probably works better in circumstances that allow him to move around, ideally one that includes travel. Routine activities, predictability, and a typical office environment do not appeal to him, nor does it suit the 8. If possible, leave planning and methodical follow-up to others. The down side of the 5 is its instability and lack focus, both of which are largely offset by the 8 and 6. Many visual artists are born with this combination. Although the 5, 8, and 6 sequence is well balanced and relatively harmonious, he may experience conflict between the way people perceive him (or the way he presents himself) and the way he truly desires to be and be seen. His Personality (6), and Heart's Desire (8), are compatible but they may create confusion about "who he really is." The first reflects a warm, loving exterior, which can make people underestimate the determined, no-nonsense practicality and authority of his deeper, and more "real" side.

As for romance and long-term relationships, he is loyal and able to draw others to him. Although he is not averse to commitment, his relationships might be challenged by his desire for an adventurous, impulsive lifestyle. Also, he is probably not overly romantic in his expressions. He should be conscious of his wild streak and take time to evaluate possible consequences before jumping to whatever (or whomever) catches his eye.

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

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 5 EXPRESSION

A man with a 5 Expression is a free spirit who loves change, adventure, and excitement. He loves his freedom. Like a bird that needs its wings to live, he cannot exist without it. Freedom is the nucleus around which his life revolves. He needs it for his very survival. By using freedom properly, he can explore and develop all his varied talents. He will meet many types of people and travel great distances. Freedom is the atmosphere necessary for him to bring forth his many talents. This man can do almost anything, and probably quite well. Only by avoiding the imprisonment of illusory security is he able to bring forth his abilities.

He is unusually adaptable. In fact, change is a blessing for him. In the same way, he needs challenge and variety. He hates the routine of life; being stuck is a catastrophe for him. He becomes miserable when he is held back or held down. The taste and texture and color of life have an overpowering allure for him. From childhood, he dreams of seeing foreign lands, experiencing the sensual and the exotic. He wants to try everything at least once in life, as all of life is a playground for his senses.

But this can get him into trouble. He may fail to respect his natural limits, either biologically or socially. Any boundary is anathema to him, which can blind him to his natural limits, and may cause him to overindulge his desire for food, sweets, alcohol, sex, and drugs.

He is gifted in his ability to communicate. His facility with words is almost limitless. He can be a salesperson, politician, lawyer, public relations person, and minister. He also possesses the talent to share and advance new ideas. He is talented with his hands. He loves the new and untried. His field is the frontier. He is a bit of a gambler and often plays for very high stakes. All of this combines to give him a youthful enthusiasm, which others find infectious and attractive. He likes to work with others but needs to perform his task unencumbered by the restraints of others.

He is a clever and a quick thinker, but his thought processes -- like his life in general -- can be unorganized and scattered. He must stay grounded and focused if he wants to be successful.

This man falls in and out of love frequently, especially early in life. He is naturally sensual and commonly has a strong sex drive. These characteristics usually make for a lively and exciting love life, but he must guard against shallow feelings and relationships. His challenge is to develop mature and lasting relationships. Self-discipline and setting healthy limits is the key to his success in virtually every area of his life. 

Ironically, he will find that as he learns to set appropriate limits for himself, he develops more self-mastery and realizes even greater freedom. This is especially true when it comes to finishing what he starts. His tendency is to give up once he has a project or job under control; he grows bored quickly and starts to fantasize about a new challenge, or the rewards of a great accomplishment, long before the work is finished.

The 5 Expression desires the whole world. He is aware that he has many talents that can bring much success. But that success depends on his willingness to choose certain areas to concentrate on, and to bring them to perfection.

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.
