HOW HER NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

Her potential to achieve greatness in career or business is considerable, due in large part to the teamwork of her 1 Expression and 8 Personality. Both the 1 and 8 are driven by effort and a determination to overcome obstacles. Coasting through life is enough for some people, but it is not an option she will choose.

She may feel she gets more than her fair share of difficulty and challenge, but the truth is she subconsciously seeks them out. Even so, significant effort will be required, as both the 1 and the 8 believe in, and thrive on, effort. Unfortunately, she is easily plagued by doubt and moments of low self-esteem, and the perception that success will not be forthcoming can be particularly detrimental to a person with her otherwise strong and opinionated numbers. Be aware that patience may not be her forte'. Although the 1 and 8 combination usually brings success, when it brings failure, it is generally due to a lack of patience, not a lack of effort or an absence of talent or opportunity.

Her 2 Heart's Desire is a blessing in disguise. A gentle number, it is the perfect counterbalance to her Expression and Personality, although that is often not the way it feels. There will be times she sees a promising opportunity but doubts her ability to succeed (a doubt caused by the meek and gentle 2 referred to previously). The truth is, without that "soft" interior, her forceful 1 and 8 would make it very difficult to maintain good relationships with others. The flexible, diplomatic 2 is one of the most resilient numbers, and strives to keep a peaceful, pleasant equilibrium at all costs.

This is in direct conflict with her confrontational and driven 1 Expression, which would be just as happy walking right over anyone attempting to come between her and her goal. There is an inherent challenge here. (Keep in mind that her Heart's Desire reveals where she find her happiness and contentment, while her Expression reflects her talents, strengths, and vocational attributes.) It is important that she pays attention to what she truly desires from life, before she lets her domineering Expression number push her into the type of career that could bring financial success, but not the happiness she seeks.

Fortunately, her 8 Personality brings focus, vision, and balance, as well as a healthy dose of business savvy and pragmatism. The shape of the 8 mirrors its most important quality: it balances the forces inside and outside of her. It is, therefore, her greatest asset in finding both success and happiness.

For a good indicator of how well she is balancing the opposing 1 and 2, look at her general state of mind. If she usually feels calm and level headed, she is finding a balance between these potentially conflicting aspects. If she is often impatient or irritated, she needs to allow the gentle 2 to play a larger role in her life, as it is likely being dominated by her aggressive 1 Expression.

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

SHE HAS A 1 EXPRESSION

A person with a 1 Expression is a natural leader, independent,  individualistic, ambitious, original, and courageous. She employs new and unproven methods. She is an explorer and an innovator. Openness to too many peripheral influences limits and frustrates her. She is self-reliant, confident, energetic, and springs into action when leadership is needed. She possesses executive abilities and is most successful at owning or independently managing a business. She needs the freedom to make her decisions, based on her ideas. She easily assumes the role of protector. She can be an astute politician. She 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 her success. She must be willing to travel the frontiers of life, away from the beaten path. She possesses a great reserve of willpower that must be directed at her goals. She does not give up, but relentlessly pursues her aims.

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

There is a tendency to be self-centered. She can be domineering and, in the extreme, a bully. She 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. She must learn to control this tendency to maintain harmony in relationships. Once she is convinced of the inherent correctness of her ideas, she stubbornly -- and sometimes rigidly -- defends and propagates them. She must learn to avoid obstinacy and antagonism, and cultivate balance, compassion, and perseverance.

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

She possesses strength and determination, which, when applied to any endeavor she is committed to, will lead her to great success in life.

HER HEART'S DESIRE IS 2

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

She is a gentle soul and shies away from confrontation if possible. She experiences a battle within when she does not believe she can handle a situation; this may have a paralyzing effect on her. She prefers to give in when she should assert herself. She must learn to be more decisive. Very often, she is afraid to use her own power in the face of someone else's aggressiveness. She incorrectly perceives herself to be in a weaker position; she may ultimately give in merely to avoid a fight. Conversely, she is extremely diplomatic and tactful. She likes to accomplish things through quiet persuasion. She dislikes force.

She must fight uncertainty and doubt. She needs to develop confidence and a willingness to stand up for what she believes to be right.

She functions best in a supportive role, guiding the more public person in quiet, unobtrusive, yet essential ways.

HER PERSONALITY IS AN 8

She appears strong and powerful. She has an impressive personality and can influence and even intimidate through sheer force. She has natural authority. Her competence and enthusiasm attracts people with resources. She radiates confidence. People defer to her because they sense her sureness and effectiveness. She also exudes a kind of controlled benevolence. People sense that she is generous once she is convinced of the worthiness of the cause.

It is important for her to dress well. She radiates a kind of raw power and able-ness, which needs to be refined and enhanced by her clothing. She may even dress a bit flashy, but that will not harm her. Quality is among her highest priorities, and this should reflect in her clothing. Although most eights have a strong constitution, they can be prone to indigestion, ulcers, and heart disease due to their reckless eating and drinking habits and their propensity to be workaholics.

Her Achilles heel is her capacity for an egocentric attitude. The negative side of her personality can cause her to be ruthless, greedy, and intensely lonely. Conversely, she can be spontaneous and excited. She is essentially warm and jovial. In her heart of hearts, she wants everyone to be as excited and as happy as her. Those who are around her often sense this. Her coworkers and employees usually like her.
