HOW HIS NAME NUMBERS STACK UP

His Expression number, Heart's Desire number, and Personality numbers are all 9. This offers a picture that is not as singular and limited as you might think, because the 9 has a wider range of qualities than any other number. (It is also the only number that can be shared by all three core numbers.) While no one number is better than another, in certain contexts, the 9 is considered the older, wiser sibling among the nine single digit numbers. It is sophisticated, although somewhat aloof and distant, at times even arrogant. It is also the most sacrificing and idealistic of all numbers.

He should aim for a career that gives him an outlet for his creativity (all numbers dividable by 3 are creative and artistic), as well as placing him on the global stage in some way. Politics, the military, a large corporation or, ideally, a world-wide non-profit. He needs to be involved in the lives of people from very different cultures and societies, and he will find great satisfaction in knowing that his efforts positively influence humankind. He is an idealist and that should be his driving force.

That said, there are some things to watch for when a chart is so heavily leaning towards one number. If you look at the symbol of the 9, it is a little like a reservoir with a downward spout. This perfectly reflects its true nature; to gather resources and share them with the less fortunate. Today, this is not well-supported unless it is connected to politics. However, it is a need he will have to find some way to fulfill, or he might not feel that his life is complete.

For many people with charts dominated by the 9, the arts eventually becomes a great source of joy. Connoisseurs, collectors, and patrons of the art almost always have a 9 prominent in their chart.

A CLOSER LOOK AT HIS 9 EXPRESSION, A 9 HEART'S DESIRE, AND A 9 PERSONALITY

He is the humanitarian. He will be attracted to a cause or a movement whose purpose is to make a better world. He is extremely idealistic, sometimes to the point of being naive about people or methods. He has great compassion and seeks to create a more humane society. He is drawn to those who suffer physically or are at the hand of injustice. He is the righter of wrongs. His deepest intention is to transform the world. He is willing to sacrifice to advance his cause. Indeed, this seems to be a theme in his life. From time to time, he finds himself involved in a project whose very life depends upon his willingness to sacrifice something that relates directly to his ego.

He is highly idealistic. He is also a visionary with the ability to influence and direct the masses. Deep inside, he longs for the love and approval of the many and seeks fame. Part of his hunger for fame has to do with his need for validation; he is his own harshest critic.

He realizes his greatest satisfaction when he is involved in some activity that directly benefits the public good. Politics, law, protection of the environment, teaching, and healing are areas in which he would succeed.

He has a broad view of humanity and is not shackled with prejudice. He should have friends and associates from all walks of life, all colors, and religious backgrounds. People fascinate and enrich him. A wide diversity of people and experiences stimulate and bring forth qualities within him that would otherwise lay dormant. He has an abundance of artistic talent. Many with his Expression number find themselves in the arts.

The number 9 indicates the completion of a cycle or a block of learning. The 9 Expression suggests that he has reached the point where a breakthrough can occur; during this lifetime he can apply all that he has learned along his evolutionary path and complete a major stage in his development. Therefore we find many geniuses with the 9 Expression. He can synthesize many diverse bits of knowledge into a unified whole. 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.

His appearance is important. He is keenly aware of how others perceive him. As a result, others see him as a person with a great deal of control. Conversely, he is charismatic. Despite the cool and distant personality he projects, people are attracted to him.

He tends to express his love somewhat impersonally. He tends to be preoccupied with his vision or cause, and sometimes overlooks the needs of those closest to him. He needs to be reminded to give his love more personally and more openly. Ironically, he is a very loving and sincere person, but often neglects to express what he truly feels. In the same way, he can overlook his own needs. He can avoid sharing of his deeper feelings, creating a reservoir of emotion. He tends to postpone his personal satisfaction in favor of some larger work. He should try to be more spontaneous and courageous about showing his real self, including his vulnerability.

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.

His basic belief in the goodness of humanity is unshakable. This causes him to encourage the best in people, but occasionally makes him vulnerable to being taken advantage of. He is not a very good judge of character.

The surest way to personal satisfaction is for him to become part of some larger social cause. His nature is to serve. He is happiest when he feels he is helping to advance humanity.

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 humankind.

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.

He has an impressive and aristocratic bearing. No matter how tall he is, he appears noble and upright. He is very much in control of the image he sends out to others. He has the kind of stature that pulls people to him or repels them intensely. Some are jealous of him and may seek to belittle him. He may encourage this to some extent by the amount of arrogance he radiates. This is a caution for all 9 Personalities -- they are sometimes aloof and hold themselves above the world. His challenge is to remain down to earth with his fellow man.
