HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

Even numbers are practical and realistic, while odd numbers tend to be idealistic and dreamy. His 8 Expression, 6 Heart's Desire, and 2 Personality are all even numbers. This suggests he is a doer more than a dreamer, although his intensely emotional 2 Personality might interfere with his results-oriented 8 Expression, especially in his career.

His 6 Heart's Desire suggests the type of environment he prefers and gives an indication of what makes him happy. A 6 in this position tells us personal relationships are crucial to his happiness. He requires the warmth and comfort that comes with love and commitment. He cares for those close to him and he has no reservations when it comes to sacrificing time, effort, or finances for their benefit. He has a powerful need to protect and comfort others. For that reason, a career in medicine or education would suit him.

Although his heart may be drawn to healing and teaching, his 8 Expression suggests his greatest talent may lie in business and organizing large events. It indicates he possesses leadership qualities and is a visionary able to see the big picture. The only concern with the 6 and 8 combination is the possibility of focusing too much on material gain. This could result in losing out on the contentment he can attain from the more generous, giving path more aligned with his Heart's Desire.

His third core influence is his 2 Personality. This gentle, diplomatic, intuitive number can be misleading to those who do not know him well. Because the 2 presents a humble, vulnerable exterior, it may take time for people to notice his strong inner core. For that reason, he might be underestimated initially. The 2, however, is the most resilient of all numbers.

Human resources, politics, and law enforcement are usually good choices for a 2. Being naturally diplomatic and cooperative, he will probably be known as the peacemaker. The addition of his 6 Heart's Desire and 8 Expression give he a wide range of options in career choices.

Although even numbers tend to get along, they conflict under certain circumstances. His gentle 2 Personality can frustrate the take-no-prisoners business approach of his 8 Expression. His generous and responsible 6 can be gullible and an easy victim of abuse. His challenge is to find a balance between these differing characteristics, giving each their due.

In his personal life, marriage and long-term commitment should come naturally, thanks to his family-oriented 6 Heart's Desire. He is a romantic at heart, but the 2 can make him emotionally vulnerable. He is drawn to dreamers and the unconventional: artists, poets, eccentrics, adventurers, and idealists. He was born to be a parent or to care for others in some way. However, the drive and ambition of his 8 Expression may wish to focus on career first, saving marriage or commitment until he has reached a level of success.

Let us look at each of the core numbers for more insight. 

HE HAS AN 8 EXPRESSION

A man with an 8 Expression has the power and potential to achieve great things. It is both his challenge and his birthright to gain dominion over a small part of the earth. Whatever his enterprise, he strives to be the best and most successful in his field. He is highly competitive and will not rest until he is satisfied that he has bypassed the opposition. He enjoys challenges and rivalry. He is a realist and a visionary planner. Money and authority are available to him if he is willing to discipline himself -- generally an inborn talent -- and persevere in the face of the considerable obstacles in his path. He is dynamic and has a talent for efficiency. He understands the larger picture, sees the broader challenges, and knows how to marshal his collective resources to address the problems. He delegates responsibility well; it is best for him to leave many of the details to others.

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

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

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

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

An excellent manager, organizer, and administrator he 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.

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