HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

His Expression and Personality numbers are both 7, while his Heart's Desire number is 9. This combination has great potential, but it carries equally large demands. The influences can create a socially awkward, somewhat eccentric nature, and the kind of intelligence not always appreciated by others. There will be times when he finds himself saying, "I was just kidding," because it is not always clear to others whether he is joking or serious. Despite this, he takes life and its mysteries seriously. His skepticism is a healthy and fitting part of his makeup; he likely questions everything. However, he should be cautious of becoming sarcastic or cynical.

His 9 Heart's Desire is a favorable addition for more than one reason. Although it can be a somewhat aloof number that observes rather than interacts, it is considerably more social than the 7. More importantly, the 9 has an impressive and often aristocratic aura, which helps to make up for the reserved 7.

Both the 7 and 9 are idealistic, although in different ways. The 7's idealism is directed toward the inner realm and the pursuit of knowledge. The 9 is focused on global issues such as climate change or humanitarian relief efforts. The 9 is his Heart's Desire number and reflects his likes and dislikes, it tells what makes him happy. It indicates he is happiest when working with and helping people, especially people from other cultures. He relates easily to people from all lifestyles and customs. He may consider himself a citizen of the world more than a citizen of his own country. The 9 is the humanitarian, giving without reward. It is caring and sacrificing, the statesperson and philosopher. Because it is his Heart's Desire number, the traits of the 9 must be honored for him to become truly happy and fulfilled.

A challenge in the 7 and 9 combination is their shared inability to get things off the ground. He has a vivid imagination, and he dreams big, but his dreams may not always be realistic. There is a risk of devoting too much time and energy trying to make lead balloons fly. He needs to be open and listen to his friends and family - allow their practical advice to guide him. At the same time, he must learn not to let others destroy his aspirations; it is a fine line to walk. In short, he must follow his dreams but strive to differentiate the possible from the impossible.

His personal life has a different set of challenges, but most of them take place during his childhood and teenage years. His unique personality can make him stand out as somewhat different, and he may often find himself alone. Loneliness is the burden of a 7 unfulfilled. This is another reason to work toward fulfilling the deep inner needs of this number. Doing so can create true contentment.

Because most societies do not value the unconventional, inquisitive seeker, his path may feel particularly solitary. This does not pertain to love or romance, but in finding the spiritual/inner footing the 7 cannot do without. One of the attributes specific to someone with a 7 is that if they seek knowledge, they grow. Therefore, 7s tend to become happier and more content with age.

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 7 EXPRESSION AND7 PERSONALITY

He is gifted with an analytical mind and an enormous appetite for the answers to life's hidden questions. He has a strong interest in exploring scientific matters, philosophy, and even mysticism. He possesses clarity and persistence in his search for truth. He can be a great researcher, educator, and philosopher. He is driven by a desire for knowledge and truth. He must learn to discriminate between illusion and reality, but he is well equipped for this task. His fine mind offers him insight into the veiled mysteries of life. He also possesses a considerable amount of perspective. Somewhere inside him, he is aware of a peaceful place that he calls upon during difficult times.

He needs time to be by himself. Too much social interaction causes him stress. He needs his privacy and a place that can be shut off from the hustle and bustle of life. He tends to keep his thoughts to himself and is secretive. Unless his 7 expression is balanced by extrovert characteristics, his introversion may pull him deeply within himself, even cutting him off from others.

He has a strong dislike of the superficial and mundane. He is often surprised by the lack of understanding or depth of knowledge of others, many of whom do not take the search for knowledge as seriously as he does. This can cause him to be critical of others, and even cynical about life in general. The more cut off from others he becomes, the more hidden are his motives. Once he develops understanding of people and life, his advice and counsel will be sought by those around him who need his wisdom.

He loves to specialize his knowledge and develop great depth within his field. He is a perfectionist. He should complete his studies early in life and not be driven too hard by a desire to be successful. Let things come at their own pace, be open to opportunity, but remember his rewards, satisfaction, and contentment come from a higher source.

He seems mysterious and different. People see him as serious and studious. He is highly independent and self-sufficient. His exceptional intelligence and wisdom are quickly noticed, people respect him. He is not one to attract people based on his warmth or compassion -- though he may be loaded with both -- but because of his obvious insight into life's mysteries. He is hard to get to know. He is often withdrawn. It is common for people to see his focus turn inside of himself in the middle of a conversation. He has the makings of an intellectual and an aristocrat, but he must guard against arrogance and an attitude of, "I've got it all figured out".

There have been periods in his life when he had little concern for his clothing or fashion, while at other times he is very aware of his clothing and uses it to make a specific impression. He appears dignified no matter how he dresses, but a well-groomed seven with a touch of dash has an advantage. His confidence increases when he knows he is well dressed.

When dominated by their darker characteristics, they can be unfaithful, dishonest, and cruel. Contemplation, meditation, and the softer, finer vibrations of life can restore his sense of harmony and keep him on the path to peace and balance.

He has a logical mind. His analytical skills cause him to approach a problem in a detached, surgical kind of way. Researchers, analysts, investigators, inventors, technicians, scholars, lawyers, bankers, watchmakers, priests, philosophers, theologians, and administrators in some scientific or technical field are among the vocations 7s are drawn to.

HIS HEART'S DESIRE IS 9

He wants to be of service to the world. His deepest satisfaction comes from knowing that he has advanced the cause of humanity. His ideals are of the highest order. He is a perfectionist. He strives to make the world a utopia; to make each person's lot in life better; to become perfect himself. One of his challenges in life is to strive toward his lofty goals and at the same time recognize the good he is doing.

He likes and is fascinated by people from all walks of life. Human nature is a lifelong study for him. He is highly intuitive, but not an especially good judge of character. He is a bit naive, as well, thinking perhaps that all people have the same values as him. He dreams of having the resources to immediately relieve the suffering of others, whether it is economic, physical, or psychological. He is gifted with a good mind and a great deal of wisdom, which makes him a natural teacher, counselor, or healer.

As much as he desires to be of service to others, he also craves fame and the approval of the masses. Much of the energy he expends in life is directed toward putting himself before an audience, most often as a salesperson whose product provides some social good; as a philanthropist; or an artist. He is attracted to the arts as a vocation, especially as an actor, photographer, or writer. But whatever his profession, any involvement in the arts, even as a hobby, will provide him with a deep and lasting satisfaction.

Secretly, he dreams of having a big impact on the world. Others may see this as egotism, especially when he is still young. But his concern for others is genuine. He must apply himself in this direction to become psychologically whole and personally satisfied.

His vision is on the crowds of people, which can cause him to overlook the needs of those closest to him. He needs personal love as well but tends to put his needs in the background. Still, he is a loving person, and only needs to be reminded to direct and demonstrate that love to those nearby. If, however, he is focused exclusively on the masses, people will perceive him as distant and a bit aloof.

He is emotional, and sensitive. He can also be moody and critical. He has high expectations for himself and others. This can cause him much anger when his expectations are unfulfilled. One of his most important life lessons is to forgive.

Because he is striving hard to attain high ideals, he may think of himself as superior to others. Arrogance is a trap many 9s fall into. The danger is that arrogance cuts him off from the thing he loves the most: people. His happiness and contentment are therefore highly dependent on the ease with which he can serve and influence humanity.

It is the paradox of his Heart's Desire that he receives by giving. Both his material success and spiritual satisfaction are made possible through service and sacrifice to others.
