HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

The 1, 3, 4 combination is promising in many respects. His ambitious, energetic 1 Personality is a good companion to the plodding, methodical, detail-oriented 4 Expression. His creative 3 Heart's Desire adds originality and a sunny disposition. Many great artists have this combination in their core numbers. However, it has also been known to cause promising careers to sputter before getting off the ground.

The 3 Heart's Desire has charisma that can inspire and motivate others. He makes friends easily. The 3 is usually loyal and generous but has also been known to drop a relationship for relatively minor infractions. Those who know him well have probably experienced the two conflicting sides to his personality: his predictable, reliable, trustworthy 4 Expression, as well as his somewhat unpredictable and child-like 3 Heart's Desire. It is the optimistic, playful side that gives him a creative, original, and sometimes unconventional approach to things. However, he needs to be careful not to let that trait dominate, because it can also be irresponsible and blind him to the consequences of his own actions.

An example of the 3 Heart's Desire and 4 Expression conflict is that the 4 does not procrastinate while the 3 often does. Try to focus on the stable, detail-oriented traits of the 4 in his professional life and nurture the happy-go-lucky creative traits of the 3 in his personal life.

Fortunately, his 1 Personality can make the 1-3-4 triangle work, as it brings drive, ambition, individuality, and independence. The 1 works well with both the 3 and the 4. Think of them as three siblings, two of whom tend to get in each other's way, while the third is the glue that keeps them together.

In his personal life, chances are he draws people to him easily, including potential romantic partners. The 1 has a dynamic, individualistic persona. Unfortunately, he tends to wear two very different "masks" when he meets people in professional or social settings. Sometimes he displays the upbeat, witty, fun-loving 3. Other times he presents himself as the serious, anxious, and somewhat dull 4. One of these personality types will dominate. It would be fortunate if it were the 3. Save the serious side for his professional life, but show it only sparingly, even there.

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 3

He loves a good time. He is generally happy, friendly, and outgoing. He has a gift for gab. He is very witty, creative, and playful. He inspires and entertains people. He is considered by many a great companion. Many outstanding comedians have this Heart's Desire. He has a good mental and emotional balance and there is little that gets him down.

He has a gift for self-expression and is drawn to the verbal arts -- writing, acting, singing, and poetry. He may have a great talent in one of these areas. If his creativity is blocked or suppressed, he tends to daydream and fantasize. His imagination needs a constructive outlet; otherwise, it may run away with him. 

At the same time, he may have great difficulty expressing his deeper feelings and important personal thoughts. He prefers to stay on the surface, entertaining people with his wit. If he fails to deal honestly with his inner nature, he may succumb to compulsive talking. Such behavior may be merely a way of siphoning off emotional energy that is building beneath his surface. His deeply felt emotional life cannot be avoided or suppressed. But he possesses the talent to channel these feelings into highly creative and artistic form. Art and self-expression are his outlets.

He needs discipline to make full use of his abilities. Too often, he may scatter his energies in many directions, beginning projects that are never finished and never really succeeding in anything. His success depends on his ability to commit to his work and to see it through to completion. He has so much creativity and inspiring upward energy that he is in desperate need of an anchor. Hard work and discipline serve this purpose and bring out the best in him.

Because he is gifted with such a sparkling personality, he is tempted to stay on the surface and play with life. He is confident and loves the attention others give him, but these characteristics can lead to vanity and self-absorption.

He has the potential to live a very full and successful life thanks to his talent for artistic self-expression. The key to his success is a balance between the creative forces and self-discipline.

HIS PERSONALITY IS A 1

He radiates with a dynamic and efficient energy. He appears controlled and capable. He values courage and effort in the face of difficulties and these qualities show. Others can sense that he will not be pushed around.

He should dress in a dignified and correct manner, caring for the details of his appearance. While he may spend most of his time in staid business dress or suits, bright and cheerful colors work well for him. He is fashionable but has his own style. His appearance suffers more than most people when he is overweight. Overweight directly contradicts the type of personality he is trying to project. Straight lines and square corners accent his good physique and enhance his appearance as a leader.

He is recognized as a pioneer; he has his own ideas of how to do things. He is a risk-taker, original and highly creative. He should be wary of appearing too aggressive or unreceptive. He can intimidate people if he does not soften his exterior somewhat. By doing this, he will attract less confident people who will be more willing to approach him with their thoughts and suggestions.
