If there are some things that don’t quite compute for you as you get to know your Life Path number, then add this information about your Expression or Destiny Number to help round out your specific life purpose. Some Numerologist’s call this number the Expression Number and some call it the Destiny Number.
Your Expression/Destiny Number is a vital component or compliment to your Life Path number. I like to say that your Life Path number represents a one-dimensional look at who you are – it indicates your primary purpose in life. Yet when you add it with the Expression/Destiny number, the Expression/Destiny number indicates to you the manner in which you’ll go about achieving your purpose, as indicated by your Life Path number.
It’s like taking your Life Path number and pouring it into a martini shaker and then adding the Destiny number to the mix, shaking (or stirring!) and then the result is a more complex, holographic version of who you are and how you’re supposed to go about doing what you’re doing.
So, as an example: Say you’re a One Life Path, you know at the get-go that you’re all about leadership, acting on original ideas, confidence, creativity, initiation, action, competition. So then, when you place your Destiny number on top of your Life Path number, you get the flavor and manner in which you go about achieving your One Life Path purpose.
Your Destiny number is basically setting the bar for what you’re to live up to. It’s like the expectation your teacher or parent (or you yourself!) has for your long-term goals. The Expression/Destiny number offers you the key to how you will express your Life Path purpose.
So let’s continue with the example of the One Life Path. If you have a Two Destiny number, chances are you feel a certain amount of conflict in your life given that the One is all about Number One (you!), independence, individuality, achievement, leadership – where the pull of the number Two is much softer and all about love, balance, harmony, and serving group dynamics. So no wonder you might feel conflicted given your disparate goals and purpose. This isn’t an impossible combination by any means! In fact, every combination has its shining potentials. The trick is to understand the basic pull of each so that you can work toward maximizing the strengths of each, diminishing the weaknesses, and allowing it all to work in tandem.
Say you have an Eight Destiny number. Mixed with your One Life Path, you’re much more likely to err on the side of “Hard Luck Charlie” given that both numbers have a certain amount of hard knocks built into the purpose of both the One and the Eight.
It would also explain your hard-driving nature, your devotion perhaps to business, to making money, and to achievement in the material world (or avoidance of the same!). Both the One and the Eight are aligned with achievement on the financial realm. That also might give you an indication of why find yourself struggling. Perhaps you’ve swung over to the other side of the spectrum and have problems with addictions and financial loss that have overtaken your life – just as one example.
Sometimes a person will “present” more in alignment with their Destiny Number (how they go about doing their life’s purpose) than with the Life Path number itself. Know that the Life Path number indicates what you’ve come here to learn more about. Therefore, often the Life Path number can take time and maturity to develop, understand, and master.
Either way, knowing both your Life Path and your Destiny numbers can allow you to put some of the puzzle pieces together in a way you might not have been able to before.
What Your Destiny Number Reveals About Your Life Purpose
- The flavor and manner of living that you must cultivate and act upon in your life;
- Your opportunities for success and your stumbling blocks to achieving your full potential;
- At the “end of the day,” this is how you’re destined to achieve and express your life purpose;
- Offers you an idea of how you can make the most out of your life experience;
- The kind of work that would be a natural compliment and expression of your life purpose as defined by your Life Path.
Calculate Your Destiny Number
Write down the name you were given at birth, just as it is written on your birth certificate.
Use the chart and apply a number to each letter of your name; first, middle, last. If you have more than one middle name, please use all of the names as they appear on your birth certificate. If you’re a Jr., Second or Third, please leave that out of the equation.
Let’s use George (Timothy) Clooney as an example. You calculate this much in the same way you calculate your Life Path number. It’s a simple addition problem once you assign a number value to the letter in the name (as indicated by the chart below). Like always, you must digit down to a one-digit number for each part of the calculation:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I |
| J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R |
| S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
G E O R G E T I M O T H Y C L O O N E Y
7 5 6 9 7 5 2 9 4 6 2 8 7 3 3 6 6 5 5 7
7+5+6+9+7+5 = 39 2+9+4+6+2+8+7 = 38 3+3+6+6+5+5+7 = 35
= 3 + 9 = 12 = 3 + 8 = 11 = 3 + 5 = 8
= 1 + 2 = 3 = 1 + 1 = 2
Now add each of the name numbers together: 3 + 2 + 8 = 13 [13 is a Karmic Number – see this post for more about the implications of the Karmic Number 13]
1 + 3 = 4
George Clooney has a 4 Destiny Number.
Destiny Number Definitions
Destiny Number One
Your destiny is to become #1 at all you do in your life.
Your task is
to develop your true, authentic self and to become in leader in whatever
field you find you’re the most passionate and skilled. You’re all
about power. You want to be the best at everything you do. You expect
very high standards of performance from yourself and, in turn, also
expect the same from others, which can set you up for frustration and
disappointment.
Your purpose
is to take the lead and take initiative—the One Destiny number is not
lack-luster or low-key! You’re meant to have courage, act independently
on your unique and original ideas, be innovative, and take charge. All
this while communicating and acting with clarity and compassion.
A One Destiny
number sets you up for a lifetime of development of your sense of self
(banish that sense of self-doubt), your willpower, and setting out with
determination without allowing the naysayers or glitches along the road
weigh you down or demolish your vision. You work hard and play hard.
You need to have an exercise routine that helps you burn off excess
stress.
Your One
Destiny number insists that even if you struggle with self confidence or
hold yourself back from manifesting your full powers, you’re lined up
for a destiny that demands that you embrace leadership. You need to
demonstrate your originality and leadership and also teach it to others.
The One Destiny number will demand that you develop yourself from a
dependence to independence, individuation, and – ultimately –
achievement and initiative.
Destiny Number Two
Your destiny is to bring people together in an atmosphere of harmony and love.
Your mission
is to create harmony, balance, cooperation, and love wherever you go and
in whatever you do. Love is the cornerstone to your life and finding
that perfect mate is important to you. You’re here to learn how to
develop your sense of relationship; how to successfully understand and
relate to others and to yourself.
Your path
includes developing diplomacy. Your Two Destiny encourages you to seek
to be of service to the “larger cause;” whether that’s your family, your
company, or any other cause or group you feel strongly about. Your
destiny is to develop adaptability, open- hearted caring, and focus on
the higher good. Understand that you need to get out and socialize,
because when you isolate yourself, you suffer from pessimism,
depression, and inaction.
You thrive
when you’re involved with other people and contributing to the group
dynamics, whether it’s with friends, work, family, or a community group.
You’ll be tested with being overly sensitive and can resort to becoming
confrontational rather than the harmonizer. Beware of needing
incessant reinforcement from everyone around you, because you’re not
likely to get it! Even if you find that you’re challenged with being
passive or aggressive—indecisive or lacking focus—your calling is to
become a peacemaker and harmonizing influence on whatever you touch.
Destiny Number Three
Your destiny is to inspire, motivate, heal, and uplift people.
If you find
you have a Destiny Number Three, you’re being called to inspire, heal,
uplift, and energize others. You’re all about performance, however that
manifests for you in your life. Your ultimate purpose comes through
when you’re operating with a core sense of optimism, enthusiasm,
compassion, and joy.
Some of the
qualities you bring to the table are beauty, possible eccentricity,
excitement, and fame. When you’ve tapped into your authentic sense of
expression and then inspire others to use and express theirs, you’re
fulfilling your life’s purpose. If you give up on your dreams and don’t
use your talents creatively, you’ll battle with depression and find
yourself traveling down other unsatisfying or destructive pathways. You
must pursue your true calling, so make efforts to focus on what that is
for you, believe in it and don’t be deterred from embracing it.
Often the
Three brings so many talents and ideas with it, it’s difficult to focus
on just one, making procrastination or scattered focus a hurdle. You’ll
be challenged with learning to identify and embrace your own emotional
life and often will be most effective in helping yourself help others
through your gift of words (both verbal and written), through your
amazing sense of wit and humor, and by being lighthearted and a good
communicator and listener.
You might
find challenges in the areas of emotional ups and downs, depression, or
being judgmental and critical. You’ll also have a tendency to over-think
just about everything, so schedule in brain-relaxation or you’ll go
nuts. If you find that being onstage doesn’t feel natural to you,
chances are this is the result of residual wounds from your childhood.
Don’t resist your feelings; they offer you profound wisdom. Your Three
Destiny number calls you to express yourself and help others do the same
in the most positive, funny, joyful way possible.
Destiny Number Four
Your destiny is to leave something of value that people can find beneficial in their day-to-day lives.
You’re intent
on building something of lasting value; whether that’s a family of your
own, a business, or other enterprise. You’re all about stability and
security. You’re hardworking, can be a pillar of your community, and
are immanently trustworthy. In fact, honesty is a big issue for you.
You have the
potential to be a stellar marriage or business partner. Your life
purpose revolves around being practical and hardworking. You’re the
systems-builder. You’re the keeper of order and thrive on stability and
security. You might lean toward rigidness or stubbornness.
You could
avoid putting down roots, shy away from hard work, and avoid having a
family of your own. Sometimes you can become so self-sacrificing that
you become the martyr or a tyrant. This stems from your need to control
and also from your high level of expectation about your own
performance—and the performance of others. Your intentions are always
for the greater good, yet that’s not often clear to anyone but you.
The biggest
roadblock for the Four Destiny number is a fear of appearing dumb (or
let’s say “under informed”) and a fear of taking risks. A person with a
Four Destiny number can wake up one day when they’re older and realize
that none of their dreams have been realized because of their inability
to step outside their own self-imposed box.
Even so, your
Four Destiny number puts you on the path of managing, organizing, and
creating a foundation from which to build your life or enterprise.
Don’t let fear of criticism stop you from creating the foundation from
which you build your contribution to the world.
Destiny Number Five
Your destiny is to effect change and show people how to live life to the maximum.
The
freewheeling Five Destiny number pushes you toward a mission of
adaptability, progress, freedom, and embracing the adventure of life.
Freedom is the guiding force in your life. You thrive on hands-on
experience. You’re task is to develop your constructive use of freedom.
Your purpose
is to embrace your sense of fearlessness and follow your curiosity to
explore the world and offer your magnetic presence and gifts to those
around you. Most often the Five Destiny number is intelligent,
philosophical, and spiritually minded.
You’re a
natural salesperson when you’re dealing with something you believe in.
This Destiny number leads you on a roller coaster, where life can feel
as though it’s coming at you without a filter. Your destiny is one of
liberation and freedom, no matter how you slice it.
If you find
yourself on the opposite end of the spectrum, you’ll do battle with
self-absorption, paranoia, myopia, fearfulness, and emotional
paralysis. Remember there’s truly nothing to fear but fear itself
(thank you Franklin D. Roosevelt).
You can move
through intimate relationships like you’re changing your socks. Your
effect on other people can be baffling to you, as others might feel
tricked or “played” by you, even when you’re simply moving to the beat
of your own music. Your heightened self-centered emotionalism might
also try your friendships and intimate relationships. You can swerve
over into the “high maintenance” category with great ease, making your
love relationships, family interaction, and friendships potentially
exasperating to those on the other end of your relationship-pole.
Move forward,
recalibrate yourself, and embrace positive change. Ultimately, your
gift is showing others how to live fearlessly through your example. The
key to your Five Destiny is to work with boundaries and certain
parameters or life could be chaotic and out of control.
Destiny Number Six
Your destiny is to provide a nurturing safe ‘nest’ for yourself and your loved ones.
Your mission
is to nurture and serve, plain and simple. Whether it’s your family and
loved ones or your business or community, you are a master at creating
beauty, harmony, and balance. Love (shaken and stirred!) with acceptance is key for you as a Six Destiny number.
You have a
polished presentation about you and denote an air of authority in
whatever you do. One of your specialties is damage control, so when
things are moving along without trauma or drama, you have a tendency to
either sweat it (while you wait for the other shoe to drop, so to speak)
or you stir things up in order to have a problem to focus your energies
on. Give yourself permission to accept things when life is good and
smooth! They’ll always be another problem to solve down the line. No
need to push it.
You may find
yourself in positions of responsibility early on in your life and that
sense of responsibility will continue as you mature. You’re a people
pleaser, sometimes to your detriment. You need to feel indispensable to
others and yet resent the fact that others rely on you too much. Beware
of partnering with someone who is more of a “patient” than a partner
because you’ll find yourself becoming an enabler rather than a
nurturer. Remember that your mission is to balance and modulate your
sense of responsibility – not overly responsible (meddling,
self-righteous, perfectionist) and not overly irresponsible
(self-centered, judgmental, controlling).
You’re in
your element when you’re expressing gratitude, generosity, acceptance of
others, and giving comfort to others in times of need. You express
your life’s purpose through love and service. While you may tend toward
self-righteousness, codependency, or fall into being a martyr, your
true calling is in healthy nurturing, compassionate detachment,
acceptance of others (get past that perfectionism!), and adding beauty
and your beautiful vision to the world.
Destiny Number Seven
Your destiny is to develop trust and faith and find your own answer to the meaning of life.
As a Seven
Destiny number, your mission is to seek out information and analyze it.
You’re all about knowledge and spiritual seeking. You dig deep and
contemplate heavily. You’re the perfect researcher and everything
always comes back to informing your own sense of inner wisdom. Your
life-long task is to get to know the true you, inside and out.
You need a
good deal of private “alone” time. Your life is instructed by a
powerful collision between practical, tangible data and the analysis of
it. Then on the other hand, you’re highly intuitive and your gift—and
your task—is to integrate the two (your intellect and your intuition)
into a harmonious dance team.
If you find
yourself isolated to the point of withdrawing from the “outside world,”
you’re straying from the constructive nature of your Seven Destiny. The
highest and best use of your extraordinary talents are cultivating
knowledge, processing it into new ideas or practical usage, and applying
your advanced wisdom to the data.
You’re a
person people never really truly know because you’re most often
attempting to figure that out yourself! Watch out for your sharp words,
as you can hurt people without realizing it. You have exquisite
observation skills and when you have a strong sense of spirituality
(however that manifests for you), you’re at your best. Otherwise, you
can fall into superficiality, skepticism, cynicism or depression.
You’re a gentle soul and your destiny is to share your hard-won wisdom
with the world.
Destiny Number Eight
Your destiny is to manifest financial security that allows you freedom to make a difference in the world.
An Eight
Destiny number is calling for you to gain self-mastery in a profound
way. Your purpose is to achieve and succeed with business and
organization—not to mention personal power, control, authority, and
above all, ethics. The Eight is a relentless taskmaster and demands
that you understand and employ all your abilities to achieve financial
abundance and also to give to others generously. When you realize that
you’re here to achieve power and abundance and then act on that
knowledge, your destiny will be fulfilled. Right out of the gate, you
have authority issues.
Do you walk
into a room as if you own the place (even when you don’t)? Watch out
for becoming an opinionated control-freak. Steer clear of greed,
ruthlessness, or being overly opinionated and over-bearing. Instead,
focus on wealth and abundance. Remember that as you give, you receive.
Oddly enough, you can be extremely sentimental and emotional. It’s your
task to learn to be a confident and charismatic person without becoming
corrupted or hardened by power and money.
Remember that
you have amazing potential for improving the lives of a lot of people.
You’re a masterful leader; a powerhouse made for material success.
You can be easily misinterpreted because of your gruff, direct, and
opinionated manner. When you’re thriving financially and giving
generously from your heart, you’re doing what you were born to do. Your
word of caution: don’t allow the pursuit of money to overshadow your
ability to build healthy relationships and don’t be so stubborn! Listen
to other peoples’ advice; they can help you build your empire.
Your
flip-side is that you find yourself in the opposite situation. The
first item of business that’ll open the gate for you to achieve your
Eight Destiny is to dig deep and tap into your sense of personal
empowerment. And believe me, you’ll be handed a treasure-trove of
opportunities to step up or be stepped on.
Money and
power are a consistent theme in your life one way or the other. I know
people who scoff when they hear they their Destiny number (or Life Path
number) is an Eight (or their significant others’ is an Eight) and
comment with great exasperation: “I can’t even hold down a job!” or “If
only it were true that I’m supposed to make a lot of money – I’m on
disability” or “I’ve just never had the lucky break I need – I never
get a break.”
If you
struggle with money, start with healing and establishing your sense of
yourself by establishing and acting on your personal boundaries. The
energy of the Eight isn’t an easy walk in the park. It demands that you
dig into your power and move through obstacles – and there will be many
obstacles. An Eight Destiny number means you have to step it up.
Destiny Number Nine
Your destiny is to achieve a higher state of consciousness and teach others how to achieve theirs.
Your mission
is a humanitarian one. Yours is a spiritual path and you’re here to
love unconditionally, however that may manifest in your life. You’re
often a hopeless romantic at heart and can set yourself up for
disappointment when people don’t measure up to your ideals. You’re at
your optimal when you’re tapping into your creativity, sensitivity, and
selflessness.
Beware that
others may find that you’re ideas are a little on the cuckoo-side! This
Destiny number is a powerful one demanding that you learn to transform
and heal (both yourself and others) while letting go of the past freely
and without bitterness.
You may find
yourself tripping over into the arena of resentment, of intolerance, or
gullibility. You may have to deal with enmeshment with your family of
origin throughout your life. Your task is to let go of family issues
fully and completely. You often feel either resentment toward the
family or feel overly responsible for them.
You need to
be aware that people respond much more favorably to you when you connect
with them through being a compassionate active listener rather than a
preacher, lecturer, or proselytizer. Understand that you can have an
intimidating quality to you, despite your big heart. So be careful
about how your frame your discussion so that people don’t feel as though
you’re patronizing them.
Often the
Nine Destiny number can come off as arrogant or unapproachable. Realize
that everyone thinks you have it all (or have it all together) and so
you find it difficult to ask for help or support. It’s not only okay to
ask for help, it’s very healing for you. Know that your Nine Destiny
is a profound journey that offers you multifaceted opportunities to
touch the lives of others and heal some of your own deepest wounds.
You’re learning how to both give and receive.
Master Destiny Number Eleven/Two
Your destiny is to heal and transform others through selfless service and artistic creativity.
Your special
mission is to recognize and use your creativity, intuition, and healing
abilities for the benefit of humanity as a whole. You can achieve this
in a multitude of ways—eliciting an emotional response through dance,
music, or art. Working one-on-one or in groups with various healing
modalities. Or you can write, entertain, teach.
Remember, you
are a double One (leadership, confidence) and yet also a Two (harmony,
love). So you come with some special challenges to fulfill your
mission. A Two Life Path will go out of their way to avoid being in the
spotlight. A Two is most at peace and satisfied when they’re taking
the reins behind the scenes. The Eleven pushes you into the spotlight
and this will have some disconcerting effects on you. You’ll feel as
though nothing you do is ever quite enough. You’ll have a nervous
energy that you just can’t control. You’ll lean toward impatience and
criticism (toward yourself and others) and arm-wrestle with self-doubt.
If you’re to
embrace this Destiny number, you’ll do battle with a fairly hefty ego,
which is ironic because you volley from feeling totally inferior to
loftily superior; back and forth. This number sets you up for inspired
leadership and achievement. Yet you’ll most likely feel as though
you’re jumping through rings of fire to get there.
You might
even think of yourself as “The Wounded Healer,” because your life
provides you with plenty of obstacles to get your footing, embrace your
high level of spirituality and intuition, and then act upon your gifts
in a solid and practical way that will bring your message to the
masses. This Destiny number requires that you build and use your
emotional psychic shield daily or you’ll become so emotionally wounded
you won’t have the strength or fortitude to fulfill your mission.
Master Destiny Number Twenty-Two/Four
Your destiny is to bring forth masterful teaching and inspired practical ideas.
Your mission
as a Master number is to execute and build projects that will benefit a
wide arena of humankind. This is a spiritual path (like all the Master
numbers) that prods you to step out of the slow, steady security of the
number Four and kick it up substantially. This will be uncomfortable
for you until you get the hang of it, because it’s contrary to the pull
you have with the rule-following energy of the Four.
You’ll use
all the hardworking, step-by-step qualities of the Four while tapping
into a higher level of purpose and action. You’ll learn to take risks
and look toward setting higher stakes with your enterprises. You’re the
Master Builder extraordinaire, so look toward building solid
foundations to your enterprise with the big picture in front of you at
all times.
You might be
challenged with not feeling up to the task or even entitled to do
something that might take you into fame and fortune. You might even
cringe at the idea of making a lot of money given the energy of the Four
is more about feeling a sense of security, not necessarily manifesting
abundance. It sounds like a small detail, yet mentally this can drag
you down.
You’re being
pushed toward bringing spiritual practices down to the material,
day-to-day world. Avoid your stubborn streak and a tendency to be a
know-it-all. Gather your supporters around you, set up the systems to
make it work, and hand over some of the responsibilities to others. If
you find yourself doing it all yourself, you aren’t living up to your Twenty-Two Destiny.
Master Destiny Number Thirty-Three
Your destiny is masterful healing and inspired vision.
This is a
challenge from the get-go. If you find yourself with a Thirty-Three
Destiny number, your mission (should you choose to accept it! . . . cue Mission Impossible
music . . . ) is to be a Master Healer and to bring forth a higher form
of love to the world. Since you have the double Three’s, you also have
to do this with joy, fun, and heart-felt communication and expression.
It’s your
calling to teach and show by example the power of love. You’re meant to
serve as a conduit to healing on whatever level you feel most compelled
to engage. The Master number presupposes that you’ll take on
leadership positions and the Thirty-Three/Six encompasses visionary
goals, truth and beauty, and a nurturing and giving heart.
You might
wrestle with feeling over-burdened. Your tendency will be to be
emotionally raw, taking in the wounds of the world. Even so, you’re
still on the path of helping and healing in whatever form you choose.

Expression Numbers
Number 1
A number 1 Expression denotes the skilled executive with keen administrative capabilities. You must develop the capacity to be a fine leader, sales executive, or promoter. You have the tools to become an original person with a creative approach to problem solving, and a penchant for initiating action. Someone may have to follow behind you to handle the details, but you know how to get things going and make things happen. You have a good mind and the ability to use it for your advancement. Because of these factors, you have much potential for achievement and financial rewards. Frequently, this expression belongs to one running a business or striving to achieve a level of accomplishment on ones talents and efforts. You have little need for much supervision, preferring to act on your own with little restraint. You are both ambitious and determined. Self-confident and self-reliant must be yours, as you develop a strong unyielding will and the courage of your convictions.
Although you fear loneliness, you want to be left alone. You fear routine and being in a rut. You often jump the gun because you are afraid of being left behind.
The negative attributes of the 1 Expression are egotism and a self-centered approach to life. This is an aggressive number and if it is over-emphasized it is very hard to live with. You do not have to be overly aggressive to fulfill your destiny. The 1 has a natural instinct to dominate and to be the boss; adhering to the concept of being number One. Again, you do not have to dominate and destroy in order to lead and manage.
Number 2
A number 2 Expression gives you the tools to work very well with other people. Your destiny is in the role of the mediator and the peacemaker. In many ways you are dependent on others and seem to function best in a partnership or in some form of group activity. Modesty runs deep in your nature, and you can work comfortably without recognition of your accomplishments. Often, others get credit for your ideas, and this is of little real concern to your since you are such a willing team player. As you grow in this direction, you become sensitive to the feelings of others, you are ever diplomatic in handling complicated situations. Cooperative, courteous, and considerate, you have the capacity to become an outstanding facilitator. You know how to organize and handle people. You are a good detail person because you rarely overlook anything. Tactful and friendly, nearly everyone likes you.
The negative 2 personality can be over-sensitive and easily hurt. Too much of this number in your makeup can make you very shy and uncertain. Sometimes the excessive 2 energies makes one apathetic and somewhat indifferent to the job at hand; the ability to handle details is hampered in these cases.
Number 3
An Expression of 3 produces a quest for destiny with words along a variety of lines that may include writing, speaking, singing, acting or teaching; our entertainers, writers, litigators, teachers, salesmen, and composers. You also have the destiny to sell yourself or sell just about any product that comes along. You are imaginative in your presentation, and you may have creative talents in the arts, although these are more likely to be latent. You are an optimistic person that seems ever enthusiastic about life and living. You are friendly, loving and social, and people like you because you are charming and such a good conversationalist. Your ability to communicate may often inspire others. It is your role in life to inspire and motivate; to raise the spirits of those around you.
The negative side of number 3 Expression is superficiality. You may tend to scatter your forces and simply be too easygoing. It is advisable for the negative 3 to avoid dwelling on trivial matters, especially gossip.
Number 4
Order, service, and management are the cornerstones of the number 4 Expression. Your destiny is to express wonderful organization skills with your ever practical, down-to-earth approach. You are the kind of person who is always willing to work those long, hard hours to push a project through to completion. A patience with detail allows you to become expert in fields such as building, engineering, and all forms of craftsmanship. Your abilities to write and teach may lean toward the more technical and detailed. In the arts, music will likely be your choice. Artistic talents may also appear in such fields as horiculture and floral arrangement, as well. Many skilled physicians and especially surgeons have the 4 Expression.
The positive attitudes of the 4 Expression yield responsibility; you are one who no doubt, fulfills obligations, and is highly systematic and orderly. You are serious and sincere, honest and faithful. It is your role to help and you are required to do a good job at everything you undertake.
If there is too much 4 energies present in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes of the number 4. The obligations that you face may tend to create frustration and feelings of limitation or restriction. You may sometimes find yourself nursing negative attitudes in this regard and these can keep you in a rather low mood. Avoid becoming too rigid, stubborn, dogmatic, and fixed in your opinions.
