Welcome back!
Last week I shared with you how to find your Hidden Passion Number in your birth name.
You learned that when we assign numeric value to the letters in your birth name, some numbers repeat themselves more than others. Those are your Hidden Passion Numbers. But what happens if you have 2 or more Hidden Passion Numbers that refuse to play nice in the sandbox?
When this happens, it may feel like you are being pulled in opposite directions. For example:
Maybe your 4 wants stability while your 5 craves freedom.
Or your 2 seeks harmony while your 8 wants to rule the world.
Whatever the combo, it can feel like living with two co-pilots arguing over who gets the road map.
But here’s the truth: Discordant passions aren’t a problem — they’re actually a valuable asset.
Here are 5 tips to help you to balance two different Hidden Passion Numbers …
Begin by accepting the duality
The first step is simply acknowledging that you’re wired for contrast. Yay! Nobody wants to be a cookie cutter anyway! You don’t have to choose between your passions — you just have to learn which one needs to drive and which one’s better off in the passenger seat for now.
“All your numbers have a voice. You just decide who gets the microphone.”
Try finding the common ground by asking yourself …
- What are both numbers trying to give me?
- Is there a shared value beneath the conflict?
For example:
- 4 (order) and 5 (freedom) both want security — one finds it through structure, the other through flexibility.
- 2 (peace) and 8 (power) both want influence — one through diplomacy, the other through leadership.
The truth is, when you find that shared thread, balance becomes easier.
Remember to rotate the spotlight occasionally
Different seasons of life will highlight different passions.
Your 5 might run the show when you’re exploring or creating, while your 4 steps up when it’s time to implement and sustain.
Neither is “right” all of the time. The magic is in the timing.
Pay attention to the overdrive
Each passion has a positive expression and a shadow side. If one takes over, you’ll feel it — burnout, boredom, anxiety, restlessness, or guilt.That’s your cue to bring the other number back into play. It’s all about balance baby!
Try blending the energies more intentionally
Rather than trying to silence one, assign it a role.
- “My 4 organizes my creative chaos.”
- “My 5 keeps my structure fresh.”
- “My 2 softens my 8’s edges.”
They’re not enemies! They’re teammates with different specialties.
Ask yourself …
- Which of your Hidden Passion Numbers feels louder right now?
- What might the quieter one be asking for?
- How can they take turns supporting your next step rather than fighting for control?
Let’s face it. You weren’t meant to fit neatly into one box. How boring would that be? You’re meant to understand the different currents that make you who you are — and learn how to ride the waves rather than getting bogged down in the tide.
Discordant passions don’t divide you — they define your depth.
