HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

He has a 4 Expression, an 8 Heart's Desire, and a 5 Personality. The 4 excels at management and organization. It is detail oriented, disciplined, focused, grounded, and reliable. It can expend great effort and tolerating routine activities. It is strict and understands boundaries. The 8, on the other hand, is a visionary who cannot be bothered with details. A number for entrepreneurs and risk-takers, the 8 sees the big picture. It carries authority and drive. It is easy to see how the 4 and 8 combination works well in careers that focus on completing projects and reaching goals. Construction, manufacturing, or oil and gas exploration are a good fit. If the 8 is the perfect employer, the 4 is the perfect employee: the 8 sees the whole picture, while the 4 takes care of the details.

However, the combination of these numbers can also create considerable frustration for him. His Heart's Desire may ask for more than his Expression is able to deliver. His 8 Heart's Desire describes what he likes and dislikes and what makes him happy. An 8 in this position indicates he has big dreams and big plans. However, his 4 Expression may be too tightly focused to view the big picture. The 4 can become bogged down in the details, thereby frustrating the visionary ability of the 8. These numbers can work well together but only if they play separate roles. When one person has both, as he does, they tend to restrict one another. He needs to find a way to apply the detail-oriented 4 and the visionary 8 in a balanced manner. Doing so has the potential to bring him great success.

His 5 Personality has a strong influence on his 4 and 8 combination. It is positive in some situations, but less favorable in others. One viewpoint suggests that the dynamic, chaos and freedom-loving 5 could throw a wrench into the almost ideal team of the 4 and 8, at least in his business life. This is due to the 5 becoming easily bored and dislikes being limited in any way. The 5 enjoys travel, adventure, and change ' the exact opposite of the stable 4. To become successful in his career, it will be crucial to keep his 5 Personality on a tight leash. On the positive side, although he is cautioned to keep these traits under control in his professional life, the same influence can save him from the compulsive, narrow lifestyle of the workaholic.

His social and romantic life should benefit immensely from this addition. Without the flexible, adaptable, and adventurous 5, his personal life would almost certainly be somewhat boring and predictable. He should take care of business (his professional life), then give reign to his adventurous spirit. Travel, try new things, be social, and indulge his wild side occasionally.

He possesses everything necessary for a successful relationship, but he may have difficulty committing due to his freedom-loving 5. It will be wise if he gives himself time to express this side of his personality before committing to a serious relationship or starting a family.

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

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 4 EXPRESSION

A man with a 4 Expression is the bedrock of society, the foundation of any enterprise, an organizer and manager. His approach to life and to problems is methodical and systematic. He is a builder and a doer who can turn dreams into reality. He possesses a highly developed sense of structure which helps him carry out his well-laid plans. He is not the type to embark on any trip without a map.

He is reliable and responsible and takes his obligations and those of his family quite seriously. He enjoys 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 and 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. This is a man who has a keen eye for detail, 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 and 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.

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 5

He is a stimulating person. He brightens social gatherings with his fresh and original ideas. His conversation tends to be sprinkled with novelty and wit. He has a quick tongue and charisma. He is probably an excellent salesperson. There is a lot of nervous energy within him looking for an outlet. He loves his freedom, and he sees this life as an ongoing adventure. He is upbeat and optimistic. This is infectious for those he meets. As a result, he inspires others. He has a strong and attractive body, with good muscle tone. His movements are supple, graceful, and athletic.

His bane is that he loves to indulge his senses with food and drink and can easily gain weight. He has an appetite for anything that stimulates the senses -- sex, food, alcohol, and drugs. Discipline is a necessity for him. The negative side of a 5 Personality Number can give rise to an addictive personality.

He likes to dress fashionably and can get away with more colorful clothes. However, he should be aware of the value of quality and the power of modesty.

He is a little irresponsible and quick in satisfying his sensual urges. He is attractive and that, coupled with his innate ability to promote himself, makes it easy for him to satisfy his desire for new and exciting relationships. He has a kind of swashbuckling personality. People see him as the adventurer that he is. They expect the unexpected from him.

He has a quick and eclectic mind. He attracts information from all directions, but he can be a bit superficial, skimming over the surface of a wide diversity of subjects. This may cause him to be a bit of a dilettante. He can get away with it much of the time, but for his own success and happiness, he should try to ground knowledge and deepen his understanding.

His versatility and adaptability make him capable of getting the most out of virtually every opportunity in life. He decides quickly on a course of action and his timing is usually good. He radiates with the potential for success, which attracts others who can further him along his path.
