HOW HER NAME NUMBERS STACK UP 

The combination of her 8 Expression, 8 Personality, and 9 Heart's Desire is one of the most extreme number combinations possible. Although it has great potential for success, especially in the areas of business and art, it will require time and effort to align her strengths and talents. This may be a difficult task because when one side of her character is in alignment, the other will be pushing in the opposite direction.

An 8 as both the Expression and Heart's Desire gives her drive, ambition, authority, vision, leadership, and a practical, realistic perspective on all things material. She understands the power of money, not as an end but as a means. As a result, she is not as attached to material gain as most people are. She uses money as a tool. This allows her to take risks without letting the fear of losing it inhibit her vision. She sees the big picture and carries the authority and confidence necessary to realize her goals.

She possesses another side to her character as well – the influence of her 9 Heart's Desire. The 9 is the opposite of all that the 8 represents. Where her 8 Expression is ambitious and results-oriented, her 9 Heart's Desire is ready to sacrifice without reward, an idealist concerned with humanitarian issues.

She is in a position where her talents and strengths (described by her 8 Expression) support the type of profession her heart may find unfulfilling. This is not unlike a person possessing great talent in math or science who dislikes computers or laboratories and would be more fulfilled as a landscape architect. At first glance, landscaping may seem to be a waste of talent and ability. However, math skills combined with a passion for design might serve to create complex and innovative works. This could satisfy both ability and inner desire.

In her case, she possesses the conflicting traits of the 8 and 9. Her chart combines the practical business skills of the 8 Expression with the compassionate 9 Heart's Desire. The 9 is nicknamed the Mother Teresa number. This suggests her happiness lies in sacrifice, compassion, a global consciousness, and a desire to devote her life to the betterment of others. However, these attributes are not commonly found in the typical business executive (reflected in her very capable 8 Expression). Her conflicting traits may struggle for priority. She needs to take time to work out the best career path for her.

If she finds a way to merge her business savvy with her inborn desire to do something worthwhile, she will be on the track to success. Politics, law, or large non-profit organizations might satisfy this combination. The 9 is also one of the most artistic numbers. Architecture, interior design, and graphic or fashion design would please her creative side. Professions where art is applied in a practical, highly commercial manner fit these categories. She will be most satisfied, however, if her work benefits others in some way. Alternately, if her career does not provide an outlet for her giving 9, she should devote part of her personal time to fulfill this aspiration.

She is attracted to people who are down-to-earth, have a strong idealistic side, and are not afraid to speak their minds. She does not care for dreamers who only dream. She cares about a better tomorrow and believes a practical approach is needed to bring about change.

Some people consider her aloof and hard to read, due to her 9 Personality, and there is some truth to that. However, she can be jovial and social when she wants to be. The outward expression of romance may not be her forte, but she takes commitment seriously. She is loyal to a fault, but as a parent or a spouse, she may need to guard against letting her professional life overshadow her personal life. The ambitious 8 is easily tempted to let career and business take too high a priority.

SHE HAS AN 8 EXPRESSION AND 8 PERSONALITY

She has the power and potential to achieve great things. It is both her challenge and her birthright to gain dominion over a small part of the earth. Whatever her enterprise, she strives to be the best and most successful in her field. She is highly competitive and will not rest until she is satisfied that she has bypassed the opposition. She enjoys challenges and rivalry. She is a realist and a visionary planner. Money and authority are available to her if she is willing to discipline herself -- generally an inborn talent -- and persevere in the face of the considerable obstacles in her path. She is dynamic and has a talent for efficiency. She understands the larger picture, sees the broader challenges, and knows how to marshal her collective resources to address the problems. She delegates responsibility well; it is best for her to leave many of the details to others.

She is a great leader of people and an outstanding judge of character. She is demanding of those who work for her, often putting things in no uncertain terms: do it my way or do not do it at all! At the same time, she does not hesitate to reward the faithful and hardworking employee. She is not a particularly tolerant leader; too much tolerance violates her sense of efficiency. She goes directly after her goal with courage and tenacity.

She has a natural understanding of money, authority, and power. She can struggle consistently after her goal. Eventually power falls to her. Within her lies an innate balance between the higher and lower characteristics of a person. Her challenge in life is to balance her higher ideals and her understanding of the hard realities of the earth.

Much effort will have to be put out and many ups and downs experienced before she reaches the level of success she desires. Life will probably test her many times with obstacles that seem insurmountable. But these are merely opportunities for her to learn how to use power and authority in the face of difficulties, and to find out just how much power lies within her. It is crucial for her success that she balances the material and the spiritual. She has chosen a path that requires balance between giving and taking, reward and punishment, action, and reaction. Despite the obstacles on her path, she is a true survivor.

When focused exclusively on her desire for results and success, she can become stubborn and intolerant; she can be driven by excessive ambition, causing her to be exacting and without perspective. She needs to be careful of her alcohol consumption, a danger-zone for her. She can be a social drinker, mixing business with pleasure -- a dangerous cocktail.

An excellent manager, organizer, and administrator she has talents in many areas of life. Entrepreneurs, executives, bankers, brokers, negotiators, gamblers, coaches, collectors, heads of institutions, builders, art dealers, manufacturers, promoters, military officers, police detectives, smugglers, engineers, pilots, or sea captains often have the 8 prominent in their charts.

She has been entrusted with special gifts, the use or abuse of which has an immediate and often physical effect upon her and those around her! She must learn to use these gifts for the good of humankind and accept her own good fortune with gratitude. This is her rewarding stage in her evolution.

She appears strong and powerful. She has an impressive personality and can influence and even intimidate through sheer force. She has natural authority. Her competence and enthusiasm attracts people with resources. She radiates confidence. People defer to her because they sense her sureness and effectiveness. She also exudes a kind of controlled benevolence. People sense that she is generous once she is convinced of the worthiness of the cause.

It is important for her to dress well. She radiates a kind of raw power and able-ness, which needs to be refined and enhanced by her clothing. She may even dress a bit flashy, but that will not harm her. Quality is among her highest priorities, and this should reflect in her clothing. Although most eights have a strong constitution, they can be prone to indigestion, ulcers, and heart disease due to their reckless eating and drinking habits and their propensity to be workaholics.

Her Achilles heel is her capacity for an egocentric attitude. The negative side of her personality can cause her to be ruthless, greedy, and intensely lonely. Conversely, she can be spontaneous and excited. She is essentially warm and jovial. In her heart of hearts, she wants everyone to be as excited and as happy as her. Those who are around her often sense this. Her coworkers and employees usually like her.

HER HEART'S DESIRE IS 9

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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