HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

Both his Expression and Heart's Desire numbers are 5. To have the same Heart's Desire as Expression can be a great advantage, especially in his professional life. It is also advantageous that his talents, strengths, and weaknesses, as represented by his Expression, are mirrored in the part of his chart that reveals what makes him happy -- his Heart's Desire. For that reason, he has a good chance of finding a career he truly enjoys. However, because the 5 is the most dynamic of all numbers, it is also the least stable. He may change his mind, and most likely his career, several times during his life. His restless, adventurous nature dislikes the steady and predictable.

He is also influenced by his 9 Personality, which brings idealism, global awareness, and compassion, and feels a connection with people from all walks of life. He may seem distant and aloof to some, until they get to know him better. To some extent, his subdued Personality hides the wild, impulsive, unpredictable nature of his 5 Heart's Desire and Expression. He probably appears more reserved than he really is. This is a contradiction to the nature of the 5 since it is quite social and outgoing. These opposing traits could make him difficult to read and may lead to being misjudged by others.

He will be happiest in a career that includes variety, change, or travel. This could include public relations, marketing, sales, or another career where he deals directly with people. Counseling, psychology, coaching, or an artistic profession like interior design suits both the 9, due to its artistic talents, and the 5 to satisfy his need to be independent. The 5 also thrives on interacting with others, creating innovative ideas, and finding unique solutions.

In his personal life, he tends to make a good first impression on people. His personality is sincere and sophisticated, although potentially a little cool. Due to the distant nature of the 9, the outward expression of romance may not be his forte. This might cause him to invest time in relationships he knows in his heart have little staying power. It may be wise to wait at least until his late 20's or early 30's before committing to a long-term relationship.

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 5 EXPRESSION AND A 5 HEART'S DESIRE

He is a free spirit. He 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. He 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. 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.

He 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 on 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. He starts to fantasize about a new challenge, or the rewards of his 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.

Freedom is essential for his happiness. He loves change, new experiences, meeting new people, adventure, and travel. He loves the exotic, faraway places. Variety is more than mere spice of life -- he thrives on it.

He will experience many changes and unusual events, but he learns best through experience. Therefore, his life will be full, and he will make great strides in personal growth.

HIS PERSONALITY IS A 9

He has an impressive and aristocratic bearing. No matter how tall he is, he appears noble and upright. He is very much in control of the image he sends out to others. Many actors, dancers, and other performers have a 9 Personality Number. He is elegant, graceful, and charismatic. Many admire him. He has the kind of stature that pulls people to him or repels them intensely. Some are jealous of him and may seek to belittle him. He may encourage this to some extent by the amount of arrogance he radiates. This is a caution for all 9 Personalities -- they are sometimes aloof and hold themselves above the world. His challenge is to remain down to earth with his fellow man.

Conversely, he has a great compassion for humanity and wants to dedicate himself to improving the lot of others. He is better when dealing with the trials of the many than the trouble of a single person. He is more capable of working on the grand scale, addressing the needs of society, than on a one-to-one basis.

He is kind and sympathetic, helpful, and compassionate. Behind the controlled and calm facade, he is sensitive, vulnerable, and emotional.

He has excellent taste. There is a good deal of artistic talent in him that shows in his home environment and his clothing. He tends to see himself as a guardian of society, a benevolent leader, guiding and directing his community toward a better world.
