Last issue, we briefly explored the numerations behind the Expression/Destiny Number found in the Numerology of your Name (reference the example to the right for a refresher on finding your number).
Your Expression number uncovers your physical and mental structure, the proclivity, direction or goal in this life. This number is also often referred to as our Destiny. Since, it embodies a lifelong urge it also drives the expression of your Life’s aim.
It’s kind of like the Cole’s Notes on your developmental growth.
Accordingly, the Expression number articulates your inner goal, the person you ambition to be. It also reveals the talents, abilities, strengths and weaknesses that we packed in our karma suitcase for this life. If you are familiar with the concept and philosophy of reincarnation; the vibrational resonance of your whole name can be understood as the sum total of your personal evolution, experiential wisdom, talents, debts, traumas, shortcomings and accomplishments amassed over several life times.
Each and every experience, no matter how big, small, tedious, smooth, disastrous or fantastical are all part of your evolutionary path which shapes your development; forming your current state of being, in other words— your own unique energy signature. After all, true knowledge cannot be acquired by placing your nose in a book - but by jumping in with both feet, wet and wild with the wiles and wisdom of experience.
By reading the appropriate Expression/Destiny number that corresponds to your Name below, you will begin to conceptualize a clearer understanding of your own personal life force and the positive and negative potentials inherent in your being. It is important to realize that there are five core numbers, much like building blocks in our numerology profile. Each core number’s temperament will either enhance or neutralize the negative or positive potentials inherent in each core number.
It would be advantageous to seek out these numbers to gain full insight into your Expression/Destiny number. Traditionally, one would seek out a Numerologist, but with the advent of the internet, a number of comprehensive online websites can easily walk you through the basics for free!

ONES, you are the movers and shakers, the independently fierce go-getters leading the pack! Self-reliant and wilful, you need freedom to create your own ideas and make your own decisions, this can sometimes lead you to be closed off to other’s ideas, but that is because you are a pioneer at heart. A lot of Ones tend to be self-made, activists, politicians, successful businessmen, inventors and entrepreneurs who are quite opinionated and inclined to be very influential to those around them.
However, the exact opposite is true as well; the strong personality of the Ones can also repel others as instantly as they can inspire an entire stadium. Ones like the path less travelled and carry great convictions, this increases their chance at success in life. However, there is a tendency to become self-centric and domineering, in some cases even a bully. Since, you drive yourself with such a high set of standards, you must be careful not to be highly critical of others or hold them accountable to your principles, as this may lead to alienation from friends or family.
Avoid being stubborn, rigid, and too set in your way, as this can also be a downfall in your interpersonal relationships. Rather use your great perseverance for balance and compassion.
TWOS, you are the highly intuitive, tactfully refined, persuasive and persevering partners in crime we all love to have by our side! Twos truly possess a knack for working with others; they are the counsellors, diplomats, mediators, peacekeepers, advisors and our confidantes because they have an adept insight into the temperaments and circumstances of others with an air of sage wisdom for those who seek it. Twos are able to pull the best of those around them, supporting the highest potential of others.
For this reason, Twos will do well in any field that allows them to work with others, as their abilities are best expressed in this forum. For the same reason, Twos execute better in a partnership and most prefer it to a leadership role. It’s not that Twos aren’t very equipped leaders or able to work independently, it’s that they prefer companionship and the symbiotic relationship that forms when one is in balance with the other, unified towards a common goal.
However, as they say your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness, both equal and opposite, one coin: twos sides. The acute sensitivity of the Twos also makes them quite vulnerable and thrown off by any harsh word, dirty look, conflict and even hostile conditions between others close to them. While others would shrug off such events, the Twos will become anxious and suffer the unrest, as if their survival were at risk. Twos are the engine in the stock car, the power behind the throne, the push-up bra, but they also never quite get the credit they deserve, if it at all, which can be frustrating. However, Twos tend to be naturally modest and find satisfaction in the vital role they provided, this is a lesson they must learn in this lifetime. If you are looking for Marriage, find yourself a Two, they are giving, thoughtful and passionate lovers that make for outstanding marriage partners and they are usually quite musical too!
THREES, you are the happy go lucky creative snake charmers of the arts, rich with imagination and spirit; you socialites bounce with creativity and inspire most of those around you knowingly or not! Three is the number of self-expression, but take caution not to scatter your talents. Threes often lack discipline and order, their greatest hurdle will be to concentrate and focus. They do well with the support and assistance of friends and family, which their inspirational talents naturally attract. You have a great deal of potential in the arts and any avenues that entail creative and unconventional problem-solving. You have the innate ability to think abstractly seeing life in grand masterpieces, rather than words. Your artistic abilities may be latent and come to fruition later in life. Since, creativity is a delicate faculty that is somewhat suppressed in childhood.
Threes need to muster their confidence in order to reveal and grow their ideas and creative pursuits, this is their lesson. If they lack this poise they may scatter their talents in trivial pursuits. Threes you truly are capable of attaining a very, very high level of excellence in this lifetime. The problem for you lies within this immense potential, you will likely be very adept at many or all of the creative skill sets, naturally you will want to go in all directions at once.
To overcome this, limit your field of vision and select only a few targets at a time, then helix your energies into a single blitzkrieg bop. Focus your life; choose what you love the most (right now), and commit to it. Once, you have completed the endeavour, pick a new one, just don’t keeping banging your head against a wall trying do it all at once, you’ll never get anything done! And that will land you in a rut; intolerant, moody, jealous, introverted, cynical, sarcastic, emotionally sensitive, even finding criticism from others when none is intended. These are all attributes that contribute to a loss of direction and stagnation for a Three. However, if you focus your vast creative talents you will no doubt achieve high degrees of success, romance, happiness and acclaim.
FOURS, you are doers, the builders, the managers, organizers, enterprisers, accountants, lawyers, facilitators… you know, the people who git’r done! You are the foundation for which dreams are built from, and you take your obligations seriously to both family and projects; always seeing things through. Fours possess a highly developed sense of structure, however, this can at times lead to inflexibility and it is important to be able to balance both qualities. Fours and Threes would do well as friends and could teach each other a thing or too. Since the greatest challenge for you Fours, is to throw caution to the wind and let your imagination soar free, while, the Threes could use some of your order and focus!
At times your views can be stubborn and rigid overruling good sense and compassion. Fours often can become workaholics and tend to fall into ruts from time to time, feeling dull, too serious or frustrated by their rate of progress. While, Fours can lay great plans, they are not risk-takers or imaginative game wagers; as a result their progress climbs at slower rate than those who are jumping off cliffs. However, the Four always gets there; slow and steady always finishes the race. Fours are great with money, and they like to save it, working long and hard at their nest egg goals with great stamina and persistence. This is why Fours are the rock and roots of our world.
FIVES, fun-loving, fresh, freewheeling, freedom seekers… You Fives love, love, love, your Freedom! You are a fish out of the water without it, a beached whale even. If you are not free, it’s a— to be or not be mind set for you. Your very existence rests upon it. Remarkably adaptable, you thrive on change, adventure, and excitement, you desire the whole world, free to go and do as you please; explore and dare the unknown. It is the atmosphere essential to nurturing your many talents. With that said, while the allure of the unknown entices you, the routine of life, is a nightmare for you. For a Five; being stuck in the humdrum can lead to great despair and depression. Since Fives abhor orderliness they tend to ignore their natural limits both physically through over-indulgence in food, alcohol, sex and drugs and in some cases socially, many Fives fail to respect common boundaries of others.
Fives are fast talkers, they too can charm you into anything, and they truly have a gift for public speaking, which is why they make great lawyers, politicians, public relations officers, activists, and salesmen. With that said, they also need to learn when to remain silent; the freedom to speak does not mean you always need to be. In order to be successful, a Five must find their grounding, a foundation and focus. In relationships, Fives have a strong sex drive and fall in and out of love easily and frequently.
Fostering an emotionally mature and committed relationship will satisfy the Fives most carnal needs, however most flee from it believing it will imply restrictions on their freedom when it may in fact provide a greater sense of release. The key to the success in every avenue of life for a Five is to set healthy limits, finish what you start and through self-discipline you will realize greater freedom.
SIXES, where would we be without you!? The Sixes are the eternal caregivers,
the “moms” and “dads” who always put the needs of others before their own. Responsible, dutiful and trustworthy with a high repute for justice and honour, are the mainstay characteristics of the admirable Six. You are inclined to counsel others and work in the healing field. Sixes are also naturally artistic, sometimes latent, mostly due to choices made out of sacrifice, but overall beauty and harmony are priorities too.
Sixes crave nature and generally have a green thumb. Animals and children are particularly attracted to those with the Six vibration, then again Sixes are just as attracted to animals and children too. They dream of building their family and when the day finally comes that they do, it truly is a dream come true for the Six. However, when family or close relationships falter; Sixes must guard against a tendency to become intrusive, oppressive, pushy, argumentative or underhanded. Sixes make exceptional teachers, social workers, psychologist, veterinarians, gardeners, artists, business men and farmers alike. Sixes are idealists; their home is where the heart is.
SEVENS, your mind moves with a limitless appetite for answers to life’s big questions. You are the researcher, the educator, the riddler, the academic, the philosopher; you thirst for knowledge and possess persistence and precision in your quest for truth. Your refined mind offers insight into “the veil” or mysteries of our existence. You are often sought out for your specialized knowledge. It is this keen insight that enables you to find peace within. For most sevens meditation comes easy, as they often find themselves to be self-introspective naturally anyway. It is in this place, Sevens can retreat to restore their energies, lick their wounds and bounce back. It is important for Sevens to have “me” time on demand. Too much social interaction can be stressful. Unless your core numbers are balanced by extrovert characteristics (found in numbers 1, 3, 5, and 8), you may tend to pull deeply within yourself, even cutting yourself off from others to an extreme introversion at times.
The general lack of knowledge among your peers at times can be frustrating for you; you like curious inquisitive minds and those that yield a humdrum buzz bore you. This can fuel harsh criticism and cynicism towards others and life in general. When a Seven’s darker characteristics surface, they can be unfaithful, secretive, dishonest, and harsh, but this can be offset through meditation and self-contemplation. Sevens are often found as philosophers, researchers, inventors, priests, technicians, scholars, analysts, investigators, lawyers, bankers, theologians.
EIGHTS, you are the upright symbol of infinity, remember good ol’ Buzz Light year, to an infinity and beyond!? That says it all! You have the Duracell bunny power pack potential to achieve cosmic greatness. Whichever, whatever endeavour you engage, you aim to be the best and most successful in your field. Generally, Eights have an inborn talent for ninja kicking down any obstacle in their path, money and power await you if you willing to persevere with discipline. You understand the bigger picture and have a knack for proficiency and problem solving, which also makes you a great leader and delegator, but you tend to be a “my way or the highway” kind of trailblazer. Your main challenge is to balance your higher ideals and your comprehension of the hard realities (aka the continual ups and downs that life on Earth seems to be plagued with). Life will probably test you many times with what seems to be impossible odds.
You keep getting kicked down, but you also keep getting back up and eventually you will have that which you seek. Ultimately, victory always falls to you. In the grand blueprints, these proverbial ups and downs are simply opportunities for you to learn how to use your personal power during dark days. Without such experiences you would never discover how much power lies within you. An Eights’ key to success lies within the balance of spiritualism and materialism. The pitfalls of the Eight, lie within excessive ambition and greed, taking more than giving, again, it is about balance. You can achieve great abundance, but it must be honourable and you must give just as equally to maintain what you receive. Eights make great bankers, CEOS, negotiators, entrepreneurs, detectives, collectors, builders, engineers, promoters, pilots, gamblers, managers.
NINES, alas the Humanitarians, we might have blown ourselves up a long time ago if not for you! Nines are the extremely idealistic, self-sacrificing, do-gooders, visionaries, martyrs and leaders of the masses. Nines are tremendously compassionate and often are drawn to those who need a good degree of help. For this reason, a lot of nines end up in vocations like nurses, healers, motivational speakers, social workers, teachers, environmentalist, spiritualists, self-help coaches. Nines hope to transform the world through love. A Nine is most fulfilled when they give of themselves with no promise of return. If a Nine is not satisfying this urge, they can begin to feel almost soulless and empty.
Only when they learn the value in giving of ones’ self totally, will they feel true satisfaction. What’s more this awareness amplifies the law of attraction, and abundance undoubtedly follows a Nine who gives selflessly. Nines are philanthropists, even if they were to strike it rich and they often do, they use what money they acquire to further their humanitarian causes. If they harness their positive potential, they will be quite well looked after and often make their money in strange and unusual ways; utilizing chance and a variety of artistic skills intrinsic with the expression of the 3’s, 6’s, and 9’s. Nines you are called upon often to make sacrifices, which are in direct conflict with your ego. It is important to understand that Nines are in a very unique place. Unlike other numbers, Nines are in what could be considered the TSN Turning Point; they have the opportunity to tie up loose ends and complete a major life lesson carried through over several past lives.
The Nine is the completion of a cycle and a block of learning; it also marks the beginning of another evolutionary cycle. However, Nines need to guard against their tendency to drive themselves with harsh self-criticism towards an unattainable perfection. They need to take time to acknowledge their accomplishments, rather than jump to the next rescue or humanitarian effort. Unfortunately, Nines also have to be more discerning with others. They often only see the best in people; it is an unshakeable quality inherent among all nines, but they often end up getting taken advantage of or exploited for their giving nature. Though even in such circumstances, Nines find solace in the experiential wisdom of all that is, good and bad, it is only a choice in perspective.
Ultimately, Nines know they are both one in the same, as above, so below, and so they remain happiest in service, helping to advance the human race, even, if others believe their path to be futile, they admirably remain altruistic at heart.
