~first~, the combination of your 3 Expression, 8 Heart's Desire, and 4 Personality is well balanced and offers great potential. Your Expression number (the aspect that is most influential in your productive life) is 3. This suggests you are an original, upbeat, inspiring, and verbally gifted individual. The 3 is the most creative and playful of all numbers, but it can also be irresponsible, superficial, and scattered. Without the support of more grounded numbers, the 3's inability to complete projects and stick to goals could make it one of the less successful numbers. It is fortunate, therefore, that you also have two practical, disciplined numbers that are more than sufficient to overcome this weakness.

Your 8 Heart's Desire is a powerful, authoritative number. It is goal oriented and business savvy. Your Heart's Desire is the major influence in determining what makes you truly happy. It indicates your likes and dislikes, and the type of environment you prefer. More than any other number in your chart, your Heart's Desire should be the deciding force when making choices that affect your professional and your personal life.

Your 3 Expression indicates you would be happiest in a field that allows you to express your creativity within a practical business environment (preferably one that is largely controlled by you). For example, if you choose to be a chef, strive to be the restaurant owner. If you choose graphic design, aim to own or manage the studio. A writer with this combination would likely gravitate toward an independent career. With your 4 Personality, you could also choose a more restrictive financial or mathematics profession, and still access your creative side by developing or inventing new methods.

Your 4 Personality (the side of you others notice when they first meet you) has the ability to support the traits of your 3 Expression, so they work more successfully. The 4 brings discipline, organization, and dependability to your creative (but somewhat unfocused) 3.

Your personal life could be a little challenging. You project the kind of charisma that attracts people and you have a wonderful sense of humor, but there could also be a tendency to dominate conversations, and to appear superficial by focusing on yourself more than on others.

Although the 3, 4, and 8 generally complement each other's qualities in one's professional life (especially after the early 30's) they tend to be less harmonious in one's personal life. Neither the 4 nor the 8 are particularly easy going in social settings, and the 3 can be a little too relaxed (even careless and irresponsible at the extreme).

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