The numbers in the letters
Ambitious, authoritative, and successful. Number 8 represents power, material success, and achievement. You have a natural ability to manifest abundance and lead with authority.
1 + 7 → 8
What the vowels want: for it to have meant something. You are pulled toward the whole of things — the person in front of you and the pattern behind them at once.
9
What the consonants project: authority before rank. You get billed for confidence you did not claim, and negotiations start harder because they assume you can take it.
