~first~, your Expression number is 6, your Heart's Desire is 6, and your Personality is 9. This is a creative, artistic combination. It is strongly focused on your interaction with people close to you as well as in the broader community.

Your Expression and Heart's Desire numbers are the same, creating significant advantages but also a few disadvantages. Your Heart's Desire reveals your likes and dislikes, the type of lifestyle you prefer, and what makes you truly happy. Your Expression number describes your vocational strengths and talents. The fact that they share the same number should enable you to find a career that suits you more easily than most people. The number 6 desires relationships with others, whether family, friends, co-workers, or strangers. You have an inborn desire to improve their lives, to protect, support, heal, and educate.

In addition to the number 6, you possess a 9 Personality. The shape of these symbols suggests they have much in common. Both of them can be likened to reservoirs with an outlet. The outlet in the 6 reaches up, the 9 reaches down. The love and care that comes naturally to the 6 is mainly directed toward people close by: family, friends and people in your community. Similar sentiments are typical of the 9. It incorporates a comparable sense of responsibility, empathy, and the willingness to sacrifice for others, however it is directed toward the global community. The 9 is most interested in other countries and cultures.

The two numbers have differences as well. The down-to-earth 6 is warm and outgoing. The sophisticated, aristocratic 9 is considerably more subdued and can seem aloof at times. Since the 9 is your Personality number (the part others notice when you first meet) some people might find you hard to reach and difficult to read. However, those who know you well, see you as open and accessible, the "inner" you expressed by your 6 Heart's Desire.

The disadvantage of having numbers that make you easily affected by the needs of others is the possibility of being taken advantage of. Another potential drawback is the tendency to intrude in other people's affairs (even when well meaning). At the extreme is the possibility of becoming cynical or emotionally stunted - a result of the 6 or 9 having been betrayed once too often.

A career in education, medicine, politics, or the law could be an excellent avenue to satisfy your need to help others. In addition, all numbers divisible by 3 are considered creative; both the 6 and 9 have an artistic side, so a career in the arts may be a good fit as well.

Now let's look at each of your core numbers individually.
