To the numerologist, your individual talents and characteristics are presented by each
letter in your name and its corresponding number. Like a mosaic, these combine to form
a totality, a picture that reveals the real you. Your name at birth can be seen as a blueprint
of your potential. The key word here is potential.
The Expression number is derived from your full name at birth, meaning your first, middle
(if you have one), and last names. Typically, it is the name that appears on your birth
certificate. Occasionally, there are questions about exactly what name is used. A few
examples, and how to decide which name to use, are listed below. These examples also apply
to the Heart's Desire and Personality numbers.
When clerical errors occur on a birth certificate, if the mistake is accepted by the
parents, and form that point onward is the acknowledged name, this name on the birth certificate,
with the spelling error, is used to find the Expression number.
If the mistake is not accepted by your parents, and you grow up using the original name
given by your parents -- ignoring the clerical error -- that original name is used to
provide the Expression number, as opposed to the name with the error that appears on your
birth certificate.
If you have been adopted, and you have been provided a new name by your adopting parents,
use the original name given to you before the adoption.
If you were adopted, and never knew you original name, use the name that is the earliest
remembered. However, without the original name, a complete chart may not be possible.
Even if you have never used your original name, that name still represents the blueprint
of your life, and is used to find the Expression number.
Names given at confirmation, by a spiritual teacher or guru, or at some other religious
ceremony, are not used for the Expression number, but can be used additionally to give
further insight into the personality. (See Minor Expression, Minor Heart's Desire later
in this chapter.)
If you received more than one middle (or last) name at birth, use all the middle or last
names. If there is a junior, senior, the third, et cetera in your name, always discard
such additions. They are too general to bear any significance to your name.
How to Find Your Expression number.
The Individual letters of your name are all assigned a specific single-digit number.
Each letter is given a number according to the place it falls in the alphabet: The letter
A, being the first letter, is a 1; the letter B is a 2; the C is a 3; D is 4; and so on.
Letters that come after the I (the ninth letter of the alphabet) and have double-digits,
such as M, the thirteenth letter, are reduced to single digit numbers in the same way
as described earlier; that is, by adding the two digits. The letter M therefore becomes
a 4.
For the numerical value of each letter, see the listing below.

To find your Expression number, write out your full name, and place the appropriate numerical
value beneath each letter. Add the numbers of your first name, and then reduce it to a
single digit. Do the same for your middle and last names. Now, add the three single-digit
numbers, and reduce them to another single-digit number to find your Expression number.
If at any time you encounter a Master number, 11, 22 or 33, do not reduce it to
a single-digit number.
The color chart shows Tom’s full name at birth in the upper left area. Below each letter
in his name, you find their numerical values. Notice that we add the numbers of each unit
of the name and reduce to a single digit or Master number. In the case of Tom Cruise,
the three numbers are 22, 3, and 6. As with the Life Path which, as we learned, is, on
some deeper level, actually based on the Period Cycles, the Transits are based on the
name and, at the same time, are connected to the Expression and other numbers derived
from the full name at birth. We will get into Transits later, suffice it to say that again,
we see how the cycles and the personality profile of the chart are connected in rather
intricate ways.
The Expression number is shown in the triangle to the right of the full name. In Tom’s
case, the Expression is 31/4.
We will be using the full name Jonathan Peter Hancock during the audio lectures.

THE MEANING OF THE EXPRESSION NUMBERS.
Your Expression number reveals your physical and mental constitution, the orientation
or goal of your life. Some numerologists refer to this number as the Destiny, because
it represents a lifelong target at which you are aiming. You work at fulfilling this potential
every day of your life. Thus, the Expression number reveals your inner goal, the person
you aim to be.
The Expression number reveals the talents, abilities, and shortcomings that were with
you when you entered your human body. Your name, and the numbers derived from it, reveal
your development, as well as the talents and issues you will be working with during this
life.
For those for whom reincarnation is an accepted philosophy, the vibration of your full
name can be seen as the totality of your personal evolution, the experiences, talents,
and wisdom accumulated over many life times. Every experience, no matter how great or
small, along this evolutionary path has influenced your development, and brought you to
your current state of being.
The Expression is your being; the Life Path is the major lesson you are attempting to
learn this time around. Time allows the gradual emergence of your personality. By reading
the Expression number below, you will come to understand your basic nature and the abilities
and issues inherent in your being.
1 Expression
You are a natural leader, independent and individualistic. You are extremely ambitious,
original, and courageous. You employ new and unproven methods. You are an explorer and
an innovator. Openness to too many peripheral influences limits and frustrates you. You
are self-reliant, confident, and energetic.
You possess executive abilities and are most successful at owning or independently managing
a business. You need the freedom to make your own decisions, based on your own ideas.
You can be an astute politician. You also possess the ability to influence the opinions
of your milieu.
The number 1 symbolizes the front-runner, pioneer, warrior, risk-taker, and daredevil.
Generals, top politicians, successful businessmen, self-made millionaires, religious leaders,
inventors, activists, and avant-garde artists are often born with a 1 Expression.
Strength and perseverance are central to your success. You must be willing to travel
the frontiers of life, away from the beaten path. You possess a great reserve of willpower
that must be directed at your goals. You do not give up, but relentlessly pursue your
aims.
You are quite opinionated. People tend to be inspired or repelled by your strong personality.
You have great powers of concentration and the ability to visualize your goals, thus
making them more attainable.
You stand up for your convictions and hold your ground. All of these abilities enhance
your chances of success in life.
There is a tendency to be self-centered. You can be domineering and, in the extreme,
a bully. You can be highly critical of others, complaining that people lack the industry
or determination you possess. But this lack of understanding can alienate friends and
family members from you. You must learn to control this tendency to maintain harmony in
relationships.
Once you are convinced of the inherent correctness of your ideas, you stubbornly -- and
sometimes rigidly -- defend and propagate them.
Avoid obstinacy and antagonism. You must cultivate balance, compassion, and perseverance.
You easily assume the role of protector. You spring into action when leadership is needed.
Pride can be your downfall. You so powerfully identify with your goals and ambitions
that you sometimes refuse to see a potential flaw or weakness in your well-laid plans.
You possess strength and determination, which, when applied to any endeavor your are
committed to, will lead you to great success in life.
2 Expression
You have a great talent for working with others; you possess tact and refinement. You
have a highly developed intuition. This provides you with insight into personalities and
situations. Therefore, you act with tact and subtle persuasion. You possess a kind of
radar, avoiding the landmines within another's personality, yet bringing out their goodwill.
These abilities make you the perfect diplomat.
Your abilities are better expressed while working with others than by working alone.
In the same way, you perform better in a partnership than in a leadership role.
You seek balance and peace in all relationships and situations. The key to your personality
is sensitivity, but there are two sides to the coin: You have the ability to perceive
the thoughts and emotions of others, and can work gently with others for a mutually shared
goal. This makes you a great asset in any group endeavor.
However, your sensitivity makes you vulnerable. You can be thrown off balance by an unkind
word, a conflict, or by hostile conditions at work. You are far more upset by these conditions
than people without your sensitivity. While others appear to be enduring troubled times
with a modicum of turmoil, you suffer the turbulence of life as if your very survival
were at stake.
In difficulties, you tend to persevere and steadily erode the resistance. You are like
a gentle wind that shapes the rock.
You are friendly and open-minded. You are a great support person, pulling the best out
of those around you. You are the power behind the throne. You are indispensable to the
leadership of another, providing insight and advice that is essential. Yet, despite the
invaluable service you provide, you often do not get the credit and recognition you deserve,
which can be frustrating. Your natural modesty and the enjoyment you get from being an
important asset is usually satisfaction enough for you.
Close relationships are essential to your happiness. When single, you dream of finding
your "soul mate." When married, you are concerned with your spouse's needs,
emotions, and thoughts. You are an outstanding marriage partner, giving, thoughtful, and
conscious of meeting the needs of your loved one. You provide great support for your spouses
career. You are a passionate lover.
Parenthood is not an easy role for you, probably because you lack the will to enforce
discipline and need a tranquil, delicate, and harmonious environment.
You are blessed with a high degree of musical talent. You have a good sense of rhythm
and harmony.
You are a good counselor with an inborn talent for psychology and finely tuned intuition.
3 Expression
You are optimistic, inspiring, outgoing, and expressive. People see you as cheerful,
positive and charming; your personality has a certain bounce and verve that so powerfully
affects others that you can inspire people without effort.
All of this upward energy is a symptom of your tremendous creativity. Your verbal skills
may well lead you into the fields of writing, comedy, theater, and music.
Yours is the number of self-expression -- rich in imagination and spirit. But you have
to be careful not to scatter your talents. Your bane is that you often lack discipline
and order in your life. Avoid becoming a "happy- go-lucky" spendthrift, escaping
responsibility and commitment. You must learn to concentrate and focus.
These are the keys to your success. You have great potential in the arts and areas that
requires creative solutions to problems. You are able to perform leaps of imagination,
providing unconventional ideas as if they suddenly descended from above. Hard work and
focus, however, are the foundation for a successful future.
Though you possess great verbal skills, your mind tends to see life as pictures rather
than in words. Yet, you have the ability to think abstractly.
Creativity is a sensitive faculty that is often suppressed in childhood. If you lack
the confidence to pursue your ideas, you may divert your abilities into a scattering of
trivial pursuits.
To overcome this problem, you must make a choice. You have to limit your field of vision
and the number of activities you engage in, and bundle your energies into a single thrust.
Focus your life; choose the area that you love the most, and commit. There, you will find
success. And a great deal of happiness.
Love, romance, and money are within your reach. You are aided by your friends and admirers.
Often people appear out of nowhere to help you in key situations. You have to learn to
accept the involvement of others in your life. You are not a loner, nor are you particularly
independent. You are social -- you need an audience and the support of others to fully
realize your abilities.
On the down-side, you can be superficial, moody, and intolerant. You are emotional and
sensitive, sometimes presuming criticism where none was intended. You can also be jealous
and gossipy. Beware of becoming cynical and sarcastic. These traits can suppress your
natural creativity.
Be goal-oriented. This is a practical, step-by-step approach to your larger ambitions.
You possess the natural abilities to attain a high degree of excellence.
4 Expression
You are the bedrock of society, the foundation of any enterprise. You are an organizer
and manager. Your approach to life and to problems is methodical and systematic. You are
a builder and a doer. You turn dreams into reality.
You possess a highly developed sense of structure. You enjoy management systems, and
can carry out your well laid plans. You are not the type to embark on any trip without
a map.
You take your obligations and those of your family quite seriously. As a result, you
are reliable and responsible.
You enjoy seeing a project through from start to finish, but can become too narrowly
focused. You put your nose to the grindstone and have a tendency to become a workaholic.
You are driven by a contempt for all that is unstable, insecure, and unpredictable. You
distrust the unconventional, preferring instead the tried-and-the-true. But this can make
your endeavors move slowly and cause you much frustration, especially with the apparent
limitations of your resources. At the same time, concern for the limitations of your resources
causes you to be careful and cautious, shutting you out from possible shortcuts and creative
solutions provided by more daring people around you.
It is important that you recognize restrictions for what they are: guiding forces that
are testing and directing you toward your goals.
Your challenge is to be more imaginative and to attract more creative people into your
life who can advise and inspire you.
In relationships, you tend to be somewhat moralistic. You are extremely honest and sincere.
You have integrity and are trustworthy, but can also be rigid and stubborn. Don't let
your strong likes and dislikes overrule your common sense and compassion. Be more understanding
of others' shortcomings.
Because you tend to focus on details, you can fall into a rut and become a little dull
and overly serious. Often, people born with the 4 Expression need to lighten up and have
more fun.
In your conservative and careful way, you are good with money. You are very conscious
of the balance between income and expenditures. You can limit your expenditures; saving
money is important to you.
You are a surprisingly good parent, and love to be involved with children. Somehow, you
relate a little more than others to the innocence of children, perhaps seeing a good deal
of yourself in them. You, too, are idealistic and respect the simplicity of children.
Many accountants, bookkeepers, government officials, managers, and lawyers are born under
the 4 Expression. You can be attracted to the arts and music, but will likely bring your
love of structure and order to any artistic field. Classical music and opera are particularly
appealing and inspiring for you.
You have a keen eye for detail. You have great stamina and can work conscientiously and
persistently toward your goals. This eventually brings you success and standing in your
community.
5 Expression
You are a free spirit. You love change, adventure, and excitement. You love your freedom.
Like a bird that needs its wings to live, you cannot exist without it. Freedom is the
nucleus around which your life revolves. You need it for your very survival. By using
freedom properly, you are able to explore and develop all of your varied talents. You
will meet many types of people and travel great distances. Freedom is the atmosphere necessary
for you to bring forth your many talents.
You are capable of doing almost anything, and probably quite well. Only by avoiding the
imprisonment of illusory security are you able to bring forth your abilities.
You are unusually adaptable. In fact, change is a blessing for you. In the same way,
you need challenge and variety. You hate the routine of life; being stuck is a catastrophe
for you. You become miserable when you are held back or held down.
The taste and texture and color of life has an overpowering allure for you. From childhood,
you dream of seeing foreign lands, experiencing the sensual and the exotic. You want to
try everything at least once in life. All of life is a playground for your senses.
But this can get you into trouble. You may fail to respect your natural limits, either
biologically or socially. Any sort of boundary is anathema to you, which can blind you
to your natural limits, and may cause you to overindulge your desire for food, sweets,
alcohol, sex, and drugs.
You are gifted in your ability to communicate. Your facility with words is almost limitless.
You can be a salesman, politician, lawyer, public relations person, and minister. You
also possess the talent to share and advance new ideas. You are talented with your hands.
You love the new and untried. Your field is the frontier. You are a bit of a gambler,
and often play for very high stakes. All of this combines to give you a youthful enthusiasm,
which others find infectious and attractive.
You like to work with others, but need to perform your task un-incumbered by the restraints
of others.
You are a clever and a quick thinker, but your thought processes -- like your life in
general -- can be unorganized and scattered. You must stay grounded and focused if you
want to be successful.
You fall in and out of love frequently, especially early in life. You are naturally sensual
and commonly have a strong sex drive. These characteristics usually make for a lively
and exciting love life, but you must guard against shallow feelings and relationships.
Your challenge is to develop mature and lasting relationships.
Self-discipline and setting healthy limits is the key to your success in virtually every
area of your life. Ironically, you will find that as you learn to set appropriate limits
on yourself, you will develop more self- mastery and realize even greater freedom.
This is especially true when it comes to finishing what you start. Your tendency is to
give up once you've got a project or job under control; you grow bored quickly. You start
to fantasize about a new challenge, or the rewards of your great accomplishment, long
before the work is finished.
The 5 Expression desires the whole world. You are aware that you have many talents that
can bring much success. But that success depends on your willingness to choose certain
areas to concentrate on, and to bring them to perfection.
6 Expression
You are a loving and caring individual with a tendency to put the needs of others before
those of yourself. You are responsible and trustworthy with a high regard for justice
and honesty. Duty will follow you all your life and sometimes feel a little too much of
a burden.
You are artistic. Harmony and beauty are high on your list of priorities. You have musical
talent but the creative talents of a 6 are sometimes left undeveloped or suppressed as
a result of your tendency to sacrifice your time and pleasure to the service of others.
You are highly creative in all areas of life, particularly the visual. You are also a
talented business person and can work methodically toward the realization of your goals.
You have a natural gift with flowers, gardens, and animals. Your love of children has
caused numerologists to dub you the "Cosmic Mother or Cosmic Father". The very
shape of the 6 resembles and symbolizes "Pregnant with Love".
You are a natural counselor and healer. But you must be careful not to interfere with
the freedom of others. You are recognized as an idealist, mainly regarding marriage, friendships
and humanity.
The 6 is the most balanced of all numbers, but also contains within itself the greatest
paradoxes. It is as if opposite tendencies were tenuously poised. Because of its gift
for harmonizing these opposites, you are uniquely qualified to handle and integrate contradictions
within yourself. It is for this reason that 6s so frequently find themselves in the role
of healers or counselors, creating a peace between opposing points of view, or internal
conflicts within the self.
While you can be very idealistic, there may also be a temptation to acquire beautiful
objects by improper means. You must also guard against other meddlesome behavior and domestic
tyranny, or always having to have your own way in a family dispute.
Conversely, you have it within yourself to understand another person's dilemma and come
up with a creative solution. Your natural ability to give comfort and warmth can smooth
over hurt feelings like a healing balm. You attract love and appreciation. And rightly
so, because you give the same in return.
You make an outstanding teacher (especially young children or special education), healer,
counselor social worker, psychologist, artist, designer, gardener, florist, and farmer.
You can be successful in business, especially those that involve dealing with people.
7 Expression
You are gifted with an analytical mind and an enormous appetite for the answers to life's
hidden questions. You have a strong interest in exploring scientific matters, philosophy,
and even mysticism. You possess clarity and persistence in your search for truth. You
can be a great researcher, educator, and philosopher.
You are driven by a desire for knowledge and truth. You must learn to discriminate between
illusion and reality, but you are well equipped for this task. Your fine mind offers you
insight into the veiled mysteries of life. You also possess a considerable amount of perspective.
Somewhere inside you, you are aware of a peaceful place that you call upon during difficult
times.
You need time to be by yourself. Too much social interaction causes you stress. You need
your privacy and a place that can be shut off from the hustle and bustle of life. You
tend to keep your thoughts to yourself and are secretive. Unless your 7 expression is
balanced by extravert characteristics
(usually revealed by the numbers 1, 3, 5, and 8), your introversion may pull you deeply
within yourself, even cutting you off from others.
You have a strong dislike of the superficial and mundane. You are often surprised by
the lack of understanding or depth of knowledge of others, many of whom do not take the
search for knowledge as seriously as you do. This can cause you to be critical of others,
and even cynical about life in general.
The more cut off from others you become, the more hidden are your motives. Once you develop
understanding of people and life, your advice and counsel will be sought by those around
you who need your wisdom.
You love to specialize your knowledge and develop great depth within your field. You
are a perfectionist.
You should complete your studies early in life and not be driven too hard by a desire
to be successful. Let things come at there own pace, be open to opportunity, but remember
your rewards, satisfaction, and contentment come from a higher source.
Sevens can be distant and aloof. When dominated by their darker characteristics, they
can be unfaithful, dishonest, and cruel. Contemplation, meditation, and the softer, finer
vibrations of life can restore your sense of harmony and keep you on the path to peace
and balance.
You have a logical mind. Your analytical skills cause you to approach a problem in a
detached, surgical kind of way. Researchers, analysts, investigators, inventors, technicians,
scholars, lawyers, bankers, watchmakers, priests, philosophers, theologians, and administrators
in some scientific or technical field are among the vocations 7s are drawn to.
8 Expression
You have the power and potential to achieve great things. It is both your challenge and
your birthright to gain dominion over a small part of the earth. Whatever your enterprise,
you strive to be the best and most successful in your field. You are highly competitive
and will not rest until you are satisfied that you have bypassed the opposition. You enjoy
challenges and rivalry.
You are a realist and a visionary planner. Money and authority are available to you if
you are willing to discipline yourself -- generally an inborn talent -- and persevere
in the face of the considerable obstacles in your path.
You are dynamic and have a talent for efficiency. You understand the larger picture,
see the broader challenges, and know how to marshal your collective resources to address
the problems. You delegate responsibility well; it is best for you to leave many of the
details to others.
You are a great leader of people and an outstanding judge of character. You are demanding
of those who work for you, often putting things in no uncertain terms: do it my way or
don't do it at all!
At the same time, you don't hesitate to reward the faithful and hardworking employee.
You are not a particularly tolerant leader; too much tolerance violates your sense of
efficiency. You go directly after your goal with courage and tenacity.
You have a natural understanding of money, authority, and power. You are able to struggle
consistently after your goal. Eventually power falls to you. Within you lies an innate
balance between the higher and lower characteristics of man. Your challenge in life is
to balance your higher ideals and your understanding of the hard realities of the earth.
Much effort will have to be put out and many ups and downs experienced before you reach
the level of success you desire. Life will probably test you many times with obstacles
that seem insurmountable. But in reality, these are merely opportunities for you to learn
how to use power and authority in the face of difficulties, and to find out just how much
power lies within you.
It is crucial for your success that you balance the material and the spiritual. You have
chosen a path that requires balance between giving and taking, reward and punishment,
action and reaction. Despite the obstacles on your path, you are a true survivor.
When focused exclusively on your desire for results and success, you can become stubborn
and intolerant; you can be driven by excessive ambition, causing you to be exacting and
without perspective.
Be careful of your alcohol consumption, a danger-zone for you. You can be a social drinker,
mixing business with pleasure -- a dangerous cocktail.
An excellent manager, organizer and administrator you have 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.
You have been entrusted with special gifts, the use or abuse of which has an immediate
and often physical effect upon you and those around you! Use these gifts for the good
of mankind and accept your own good fortune with gratitude. This is your rewarding stage
in your evolution. Yours is a life time of harvest
9 Expression
You are the humanitarian. You are attracted to a cause or a movement whose purpose is
to make a better world. You are extremely idealistic, sometimes to the point of being
naive about people or methods. You have great compassion and seek to create a more humane
society. You are drawn to those who suffer physically or are at the hand of injustice.
You are the righter of wrongs. Your deepest intention is to transform the world.
You are willing to sacrifice in order to advance your cause. Indeed, this seems to be
a theme in your life. From time to time, you find yourself involved in a project whose
very life depends upon your willingness to sacrifice something that relates directly to
your ego.
You are highly idealistic. You are also a visionary, with the ability to influence and
direct the masses. Deep inside, you long for the love and approval of the many, and seek
fame.
Part of your hunger for fame has to do with your need for validation; you are your own
harshest critic.
You realize your greatest satisfaction when you are involved in some activity that directly
benefits the public good. Politics, law, protection of the environment, teaching, and
healing are areas in which you would succeed.
You have a broad view of humanity and are not shackled with prejudice. You should have
friends and associates from all walks of life, all colors and religious backgrounds. People
fascinate and enrich you. A wide diversity of people and experiences stimulate and bring
forth qualities within you that would otherwise lay dormant.
You have an abundance of artistic talent. Many with your Expression number find themselves
in the arts, especially in literature, painting, and the visual and performing arts.
The number 9 indicates the completion of a cycle or a block of learning. The 9 Expression
suggests that you have reached the point where a breakthrough can occur; during this lifetime
you can apply all that you have learned along your evolutionary path and complete a major
stage in your development. This is why we find many geniuses with the 9 Expression.
You have the ability to synthesize many diverse bits of knowledge into a unified whole.
Your appearance is important. You are keenly aware of how others perceive you. As a result,
others see you as a person with a great deal of control. Conversely, you are charismatic.
Despite the cool and distant personality you project, people are attracted to you.
You tend to express your love somewhat impersonally. You tend to be preoccupied with
your vision or cause, and sometimes overlook the needs of those closest to you. You need
to be reminded to give your love more personally and more openly. Ironically, you are
a very loving and sincere person, but often neglect to express what you truly feel.
In the same way, you can overlook your own needs. You can avoid sharing of your deeper
feelings, creating a reservoir of emotion. You tend to postpone your personal satisfaction
in favor of some larger work. Try to be more spontaneous and courageous about showing
your real self, including your vulnerability.
Your basic belief in the goodness of humanity is unshakable. This causes you to encourage
the best in people, but occasionally makes you vulnerable to being taken advantage of.
You are not a very good judge of character.
The surest way to personal satisfaction is for you to become part of some larger social
cause. Your nature is to serve. You are happiest when you feel you are helping to advance
the human race.
11 Expression
Yours is the most highly charged Expression number of all. You are like a lightning rod,
attracting powerful ideas, intuitions, and even psychic information like unpredictable
bolts.
You are a powerful presence without any awareness on your part of having personal power.
You are a channel for higher vibrations. But in order to be emotionally and psychologically
at peace, you must learn to control that flow of energy. You possess a bridge between
the unconscious and the conscious. The trouble is that the unconscious is an infinite
resource, while consciousness by definition is a limited arena. The two are therefore
at odds until they can learn to live in harmony with each other. This is where control
comes in. Until you are able to control the flow of energy from this infinite source,
you may feel like a victim of its whimsy, thrown about by emotional turmoil and nervous
tensions.
You have always sensed that you are different, but it was an indefinable feeling. You
are enormously sensitive and aware, especially as a child. This made you vulnerable to
all conflicts and painful situations. For most of your upbringing, however, you did not
realize that other people did not possess the same sensitivity, nor did they see the same
things you were seeing. This caused a great reservoir of emotion that was dammed up behind
an inability to express your feelings, even to yourself. For this reason, most 11 Expressions
have a difficult childhood. Your extreme sensitivity made you very shy as a child. This
usually manifests in adulthood as hesitation and acute vulnerability. You are very careful
about sharing your feelings with others and choosing your friends.
You compensated for your sense of separation in childhood by creating an elaborate fantasy
world. You daydreamed more than other children. You have a lively imagination and even
in adulthood have a hard time separating reality from fantasy.
Your challenge is to bring forth your primitive, earthy strength. You need to be grounded
in order to deal with your lightning bolts. The more you are able to call upon your inherent
human strength, the greater your capacity to take advantage of your extremely sensitive
awareness. Once this is accomplished, your antagonist becomes your benefactor.
You are highly emotional and dependent upon relationships. Emotionally, you go up and
down with the fortunes of your love life.
You are idealistic, impractical, and at times disorderly. You are often unrealistic in
your expectations.
Your reasons for doing things are usually born of a mixture of logic, emotion, and intuition,
which can rarely be explained satisfactorily to your more rational associates.
The 11 Expression is the number most dependent upon other core numbers in your chart
for insight into your vocation. The 11 charges every area it enters, but it needs a grounding
vocation and discipline to be effective.
A balanced 11 is one of the most unique and impressive of all people. It is gifted with
insight and illumination, which it can transmit to others. This makes you a natural teacher
in whatever area you enter.
22 Expression
You are the master builder. You possess a unique gift for perceiving something in the
archetypal world -- infinite and divine -- and making some semblance of it manifest on
earth.
You dream big. Every goal you have is enormous in scope. You dream of creating something
that will last centuries. Your desire is to change history. You want to make your mark
on human civilization. There is no limit to what you are capable of, nor any on what you
dream of doing. Of all the numbers, yours possesses the greatest potential for accomplishment.
At the same time, you possess the greatest liability. What it will require of you to fulfill
your potential is nothing less than your entire life.
Even as a child, you have had a vague sense of what you must do and have always been
deeply intimidated by the awesomeness of your task. You have felt the intimations of your
power. But these feelings have caused you to feel paralyzed by doubt.
You must advance well into adulthood before you can begin to make use of your power and
truly commit to your destiny.
The promise and reward of your Expression is equaled only by the degree of difficulty
and struggle necessary to realize its potential.
The number 22 offers those who fully realize it a chance to jump into another dimension
in which your day is expanded, your capacity to create and inspire multiplied, your ability
to perform lasting service to mankind extended beyond the normal limits of one's life.
You may turn away from the challenge you face for the safety of limitations and practical
considerations of the 4 (22 reduces to a 4 expression). You may not want to take the great
risks that the 22 presents. Instead, you may try to content yourself with limited achievements,
telling yourself that your big dreams are unrealistic fantasies. This can cause some frustration,
because on some level you feel called to greater things. Nevertheless, your chances to
be successful, even when you limit your efforts, are still good.
You have great leadership abilities. You are persistent. You also refuse to back down
in the face of a challenge. You like to work in large enterprises and on an international
scale. Borders or racial identities mean little to you. You see yourself as a world citizen,
playing on the planet, and refuse to be limited by petty conventions.
You should marry someone who does not depend on you for entertainment, rather choose
a spouse who can participate with you but provide an independent contribution to your
goals.
You are blessed with a farsighted vision. Your efforts are directed toward great accomplishments
and long-standing progress. You deeply want to create a great edifice that will make a
lasting contribution, and you have all the tools necessary to do just that.
