Your Expression Number will reveal your positive traits, talents and abilities as well as your shortcomings in this life. One of the most important numbers in your Numerology chart, it can be a great indicator of what kind of career suits you and will allow you to excel.

Expression Number: 1

Positive Traits

You are independent, self-sufficient, highly opinionated and extremely capable in your field of choice. Leadership comes naturally and it is common for you to take charge of situations even when treading in unchartered waters. You are result driven, ambitious and usually one of the trendsetters.

Negative Traits

You tend to be impatient with those who can’t keep up with your pace and have a tendency to be self-centred in your pursuit of your goals. Once you have set your mind on your objectives, you can be stubbornly blinded to the point that you refuse to see a potential flaw, or weakness in your plans when others point them out. You can also be opinionated and may come across as highly critical of others, and this can alienate friends and family members.

Advice

Curb your egoistical tendencies to maximise your potential.

Expression Number: 2

Positive Traits

You have a disarming demeanour and a knack for being able to relate to different people. Your abilities are best expressed while working with others as a team rather than in a leadership type of role. Your empathy drives you to patiently nurture people at work and you are a great support to others.

Negative Traits

At times, your tendency to avoid confrontations and overwhelming desire to please causes you to become somewhat of a doormat. Your feelings are easily hurt and you tend to take criticism personally, making you vulnerable and throwing you off balance when in conflict.

Advice

Strive towards balancing your needs and the needs of others for a real win-win situation.

Expression Number: 3

Positive Traits

Your optimistic, fun loving and friendly disposition endears you to many. In addition, due to your positive personality and infectious enthusiasm for life, you are able to affect and inspire others without much effort. You also tend to be witty, charismatic and have a sense of humour. You are artistic and have great potential in this field or anywhere that requires creative solutions.

Negative Traits

Although you are very creative and expressive, you can be overly sensitive, moody and melodramatic at times. You often lack discipline and order in your life, and can come across as reckless and irresponsible.

Advice

Strive for concentration and focus as the keys to your success.

Expression Number: 4

Positive Traits

You are the dedicated worker of any enterprise and you take your responsibilities seriously. You are stable, practical, dependable and your approach to life and its challenges is very methodical and structured. You also tend to be somewhat moralistic and even have good old-fashioned values which adds to your credibility. People generally view you as a trustworthy person with integrity and honour.

Negative Traits

You can be rigid and stubborn, fixated on rules and principles that might overrule common sense and compassion. You are intolerant of and driven by contempt for all that is unstable, insecure and unpredictable, and this is what shuts you off from shortcuts and creative solutions provided by the more daring risk takers. You run the risk of going off the rails because of your desire to focus on the details, and this makes you become boring and too serious.

Advice

Strive to not take everything too seriously and challenge yourself to be more imaginative and to connect with more creative people who can inspire and advice you.

Expression Number: 5

Positive Traits

You are free spirited and live life to the fullest by making the most of every experience. You thrive on change, adventure and excitement and your youthful enthusiasm is what others find attractive. You have a way with words.

Negative Traits

Your varied interests not only lead you to trouble in the form of unhealthy and dangerous indulgences but are also the main reason you don’t last long in any endeavours. Relationship-wise, you fall in and out of love frequently, therefore you must guard against shallow feelings and relationships.

Advice

Strive for self-discipline and healthy limits as the keys to your success in virtually every area of your life.

Expression Number: 6

Positive Traits

Relationships are your number one priority and your loving and caring personality shines through whenever you put the needs of others before your own. Responsible, reliable and trustworthy, you strive for justice and fairness.

You have an ability to harmonize opposites and manage contradictions. This makes you a natural counsellor and healer, as you are able to create peace between two opposing points of view and help calm internal conflicts. You also have a natural ability to bring comfort and warmth to others which allows you to heal the wounded.

Negative Traits

You can sometimes be too patronising, especially when you offer help where it is not wanted. In addition, although you are creative, sometimes your talents may remain undeveloped or suppressed as a result of your desire to serve others.

Advice

Strive to find a balance between giving and receiving; between helping and interfering in the lives of the people in your life.

Expression Number: 7

Positive Traits

You are gifted with an analytical mind and the need for answers. You are known for your deep desire for truth and knowledge.

Negative Traits

You run the risk of alienating people due to your tendencies to keep your thoughts to yourself and your need for private time to be on your own. You are generally mistrustful by nature and do not easily open up to people.

Advice:

Contemplation and meditation can provide you with some peace and balance.

Expression Number: 8

Positive Traits

You are driven to be the best and most successful in your field and you are highly competitive in whatever you do. Realistic and a great planner, you are unafraid to persevere in the face of obstacles in your path. You are a great leader and an outstanding judge of character.

Negative Traits

In your extreme pursuit of success, you may lose sight of the welfare of others and become overly demanding of those who work for you, often guided by the principle: “Do as I say, or do not do it at all!” On the other hand, you also believe in rewarding loyal and hard workers.

Advice

Strive to achieve a balance between give and take, reward and punishment, action and reaction which is crucial to your success.

Expression Number: 9

Positive Traits

A humanitarian at heart, you fight for the underdog and are filled with great compassion and idealism to make the world a better place. Your greatest satisfaction is when you are involved in an activity that directly benefits the public and you are the type to defer your personal needs and satisfactions for the sake of a higher purpose.

The absence of prejudice in your life experiences and the experience of working with a wide diversity of people brings forth great qualities in you that would otherwise lay dormant.

Negative Traits

You view the world with rose-tinted glasses and thus are not a very good judge of character, especially when your belief in the goodness of humanity is unshakeable. At times, you overlook the needs of those close to you when you are busy fighting for your causes.

Advice

Strive to express your affection more openly and animatedly.

Expression Number: 11

Positive Traits

You are blessed with a powerful presence and tend to be extremely sensitive and aware of higher levels of consciousness. When properly trained, you are able to act as a bridge between the conscious and subconscious mind.

Negative Traits

Your moods tend to be heavily governed and dependent on relationships. You may find yourself hesitant and vulnerable throughout your life.

Advice

Be careful about sharing your feelings and choose your friends well.

Expression Number: 22

Positive Traits

A hallmark characteristic of a 22 or a “Master Builder” is their ability to manifest great changes in this world. This is usually fulfilled via the construction of some kind of empire, whether it is of a social, financial or religious nature.

You are a leader, master and great accomplisher, and you dream of making your mark on this planet. There is in fact no limit to what you are capable of doing or what you dream of doing.

Negative Traits

You have a tendency to make eccentric and unorthodox considerations when making any decision. If you become too engrossed on material gains to the point of obsession, this can make you an arrogant, domineering and unpleasant person.

Advice

You may try to resist taking on the high risk appetite that this number has, but you need to know that this may lead to frustration.

Expression Number: 33

Positive Traits

The 33 is known as the “Master Teacher”, not just any ordinary teacher but one that has profound spiritual wisdom and even Enlightenment. Not many can live up to the status because this comes with incredibly high expectations and is extremely demanding. It is not uncommon for those with Expression Number 33 to be harmonious, loving, caring and self-sacrificing.

You are in a position to emphasise all the qualities of the 6, both positive and negative. In essence, you will unlock your ability to heal, comfort and care for others when you focus on the positive.

Negative Traits

You could actually be emotionally and physically damaging to those around you if you focus on the negative.

Advice

Focus on the positive and neutralise or negate the negative.
