HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

The combination of his 3 Expression, 8 Heart's Desire, and 4 Personality is well balanced and offers great potential. His Expression number (the aspect that is most influential in his productive life) is 3. This suggests he is an original, upbeat, inspiring, and verbally gifted individual. The 3 is the most creative and playful of all numbers, but it can also be irresponsible, superficial, and scattered. Without the support of more grounded numbers, the 3's inability to complete projects and stick to goals would be detrimental to potential success. It is fortunate, therefore, that he also has two practical, disciplined numbers that are more than sufficient to overcome this weakness.

His 8 Heart's Desire is a powerful, authoritative number. It is goal oriented and business savvy. His Heart's Desire is the major influence in determining what makes him happy. More than any other number in his chart, his Heart's Desire should be the deciding force when making choices that affect his professional and his personal life.

His 3 Expression indicates he would function best in a field that allows him to express his creativity within a practical business environment (preferably one that is largely controlled by him). For example, if he chooses to be a chef, he should also strive to be the restaurant owner. If he chooses graphic design, he should aim to own or manage the studio. A writer with this combination would likely gravitate toward an independent career. With his 4 Personality, he could also choose a more restrictive financial or mathematics profession, and still access his creative side by developing or inventing new methods.

His 4 Personality can support the traits of his 3 Expression, so they work more successfully. The 4 brings discipline, organization, and dependability to his creative, but somewhat unfocused 3.

His personal life could be a little challenging. He projects the kind of charisma that attracts people, and he has a wonderful sense of humor, but there could also be a tendency to dominate conversations, and to appear superficial by focusing on himself more than on others.

Although the 3, 4, and 8 generally complement each other's qualities in one's professional life (especially after the early 30's) they tend to be less harmonious in one's personal life. Neither the 4 nor the 8 are particularly easy going in social settings, and the 3 can be a little too relaxed, even careless, and irresponsible.

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

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 3 EXPRESSION

He is optimistic, inspiring, outgoing, and expressive. People see him as cheerful, positive, and charming; his personality has a certain bounce and verve that so powerfully affects others that he can inspire people without effort. All this upward energy is a symptom of his tremendous creativity. His verbal skills may well lead him into the fields of writing, comedy, theater, and music.

His is the number of self-expression -- rich in imagination and spirit. But he must be careful not to scatter his talents. His bane is that he often lacks discipline and order in his life. He must learn to avoid becoming a "happy- go-lucky" spendthrift, escaping responsibility and commitment. He must learn to concentrate and focus; these are the keys to his success. He has great potential in the arts and areas that require creative solutions to problems. A man with a 3 Expression can perform leaps of imagination, providing unconventional ideas as if they suddenly descended from above. Hard work and focus, however, are the foundation for a successful future.

Though he possesses great verbal skills, his mind tends to see life as pictures rather than in words. He can think abstractly.

Creativity is a sensitive faculty that is often suppressed in childhood. If he lacks the confidence to pursue his ideas, he may divert his abilities into a scattering of trivial pursuits. To overcome this problem, he must make a choice. He must limit his field of vision and the number of activities he engages in and bundle his energies into a single thrust. His challenge is to focus on the area that he loves the most and commit. There, he will find success and a great deal of happiness.

Love, romance, and money are within his reach. He is aided by his friends and admirers. Often people appear out of nowhere to help him in key situations. He must learn to accept the involvement of others in his life. This man is not a loner, nor is he particularly independent. He is social -- he needs an audience and the support of others to fully realize his abilities.

On the downside, he can be superficial, moody, and intolerant. He is emotional and sensitive, sometimes presuming criticism where none was intended. He can also be jealous and gossipy. He must beware of becoming cynical and sarcastic, as these traits can suppress his natural creativity. He must learn to be goal-oriented and take a practical, step-by-step approach to his larger ambitions. He possesses the natural abilities to attain a high degree of excellence.

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 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.
