HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

It is not easy for a numerologist to be completely objective when it comes to the personality of numbers. I will admit that the 7 is my favorite, because I value its powerful philosophical/spiritual nature more than any other human trait. I believe the key to true happiness stems from an individual's connection with his or her true essence, not from romance or money, family, or education - and this is the domain of the 7. That said, having a 2 Expression, 7 Heart's Desire, and 4 Personality produces an arrangement of contrasting attributes.

His Heart's Desire represents pretty much what the name implies - what makes him happy, what kind of lifestyle and environment he is drawn to, and who and what he likes or dislikes. A 7 in this position indicates that he values privacy, is a little secretive, and finds contentment in quiet settings. He enjoys learning, is curious and inquisitive, and dislikes feeling pressured into accepting the ideas and opinions of others. He is an intellectual rebel who will take the opposite position by reflex, so listening to others is one of his challenges. On the surface, however, he appears to be quite the opposite, as reflected in his 4 Personality: solid, trustworthy, predictable, and reliable (although the 4 can also be rigid and highly opinionated).

His gentle, tactful, compromising 2 Expression is squeezed into a position of having to reconcile these differing traits to make the 4 and 7 work in his favor. The intuitive 2 helps him recognize the subtle signs around him and makes him particularly good at sensing what goes on under the surface, including in other people. While the 7 is analytical and logical, the 2 is emotional and intuitive. For that reason, they are considered excellent partners, giving him an advantage that can help greatly in his personal and professional life. A 2 In this position suggests an aptitude for working with people in human resources, and in management or other supervisory positions. It is also an asset in the field of medicine, education, law, or law enforcement.

However, neither the 2 nor the 7 are particularly practical. Without the 4 to keep them grounded, he would have difficulty handling day-to-day chores, from balancing a checkbook to remembering appointments. Discipline, reliability, and a willingness to put forth consistent effort are the hallmarks of the otherwise somewhat boring 4.

A word of caution - the sensitive 2 and introverted 7 combination has the potential to create insecurity issues and phobias, especially if the disciplined and practical traits of the 4 are not actively employed.

In his personal life, he finds himself attracted to intelligent, sensitive, and somewhat eccentric people, who challenge him intellectually and feed his curiosity. He invests heavily in his emotional bond with others, and partners for life. He is a loyal friend but the 2 can be tempted to indulge in gossip, while the 7 should be mindful of cynicism and sarcasm.

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

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 2 EXPRESSION

He has a great talent for working with others and possesses tact and refinement. He has a highly developed intuition. This provides him with insight into personalities and situations. Therefore, he acts with tact and subtle persuasion. He possesses a kind of radar, avoiding the landmines within another's personality, yet bringing out their goodwill. These abilities make him the perfect diplomat. He is a good counselor with an inborn talent for psychology and finely tuned intuition.

His abilities are better expressed while working with others than by working alone. In the same way, he performs better in a partnership than in a leadership role. He seeks balance and peace in all relationships and situations. The key to his personality is sensitivity, but there are two sides to the coin: He can perceive the thoughts and emotions of others and can work gently with others for a mutually shared goal. This makes him a great asset in any group endeavor. 

However, his sensitivity makes him vulnerable. He can be thrown off balance by an unkind word, a conflict, or by hostile conditions at work. He is far more upset by these conditions than people without his sensitivity. While others appear to be enduring troubled times with a modicum of turmoil, he suffers the turbulence of life as if his very survival were at stake.

In difficulties, he tends to persevere and steadily erode the resistance. He is like a gentle wind that shapes the rock.

He is friendly and open-minded. He is a great support person, pulling the best out of those around him. He is the power behind the throne. He is indispensable to the leadership of another, providing insight and advice that is essential. Yet, despite the invaluable service he provides, he often does not get the credit and recognition he deserves, which can be frustrating. His natural modesty and the enjoyment he gets from being an important asset is usually satisfaction enough for him.

Close relationships are essential to his happiness. When single, he dreams of finding his "soul mate." When married, he is concerned with his spouse's needs, emotions, and thoughts. He is an outstanding marriage partner, giving, thoughtful, and conscious of meeting the needs of his loved one. He provides great support for his spouse's career. He is a passionate lover.

Parenthood is not an easy role for him, probably because he lacks the will to enforce discipline and needs a tranquil, delicate, and harmonious environment.

He is blessed with a high degree of musical talent. He has a good sense of rhythm and harmony.

HIS HEART'S DESIRE IS 7

He loves knowledge, study, and insight. He values the gifts of his mind, which he uses to great advantage to penetrate the mysteries of life. He studies things in-depth. He searches beneath the surface of things. He abhors shallow judgments or opinions.

He has a natural gift for analysis and research. Once he has grasped the facts of a subject, his creativity and abstract approach lifts his thinking beyond the rudimentary to the philosophical. He has a theoretical mind, but rather than indulge in fantasies or idle thought, he prefers to base his theories upon scientific facts. He enjoys mental and physical puzzles -- figuring them out, taking them apart, and putting them back together.

Some people may perceive him as cool or aloof. He is somewhat introverted; he may feel slightly removed and even a little different. The fantasy of the hermit or monk engaged in a life of study and meditation appeals to him.

In relationships, he tends to keep things business-like and impersonal. He prefers to talk about the facts of a given situation, rather than the cloudier issues of emotions and personal feelings. He distrusts feelings -- both his own and those of others. The whole emotional realm strikes him as unreliable and a bit unnecessary. His inability to fully understand the emotional aspect of life is his Achilles heel. He is so rational that the unpredictability of the heart frightens and surprises him. His challenge is to trust. He needs to share his heart with someone. This is a courageous step for him but will result in enormous growth and satisfaction.

The advice here is to make a true connection with another human being. Without it, he may marry out of convenience or to fulfill social expectations, but it will not lead him out of loneliness. The more removed he is from people, the more he risks isolation, bitterness, and a cynical attitude toward life. 

This choice represents a true crossroads in his development. By sharing himself with others (without compromising his independence and need for privacy) he can cultivate his enormous charm and share his understanding of life. He is a natural teacher and advisor. And the wealth of knowledge he will accumulate in life is meant to be shared with others.

This is not to say that he must compromise on his need for privacy or time spent alone to contemplate life. These are natural aspects of his personality, which are essential to his growth. These characteristics should not be threatening to his spouse but must be understood as fundamental to his being.

He is blessed with a great reserve of intuition, which can be cultivated by regular meditation and contemplation. His "inner voice" is his greatest guide and friend. He is idealistic and has high expectations for himself. He must learn to balance his serious nature with regular doses of fun. His intelligence and cultivation make him charming and distinguished in appearance. As he gets older and more comfortable with his identity, people are naturally attracted to him. They see his wisdom, his deep understanding of life, and the refinement he radiates.

HIS PERSONALITY IS A 4

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.

All this stems from the fact that his most prized characteristic is his work. He wants to be judged based on his performance, rather than his appearance. He is frugal and has learned to respect a dollar. He is concerned about the security of his future and those he loves. However, this may appear to others as a bit too austere.

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 family person. He loves the intimacy, consistency, and the security a family provides. He is a good provider and protector. But family members may take his efforts for granted.

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.
