Answer: (Responses to questions rely on the accuracy of the name and birth date provided with the question. Typographical errors or incomplete information can result in an incorrect response.)

I can not make the decision for you. But I can provide information that may help you make the decision for yourself.

Your major numerology profile numbers are all odd numbers. With the name changes, you lived with some even numbers. The resonance of odd numbers and even numbers, with few exceptions, are dissonant. If they were people, one would say they have compatibility issues.

Birth Name and Birth Date

Your name number 7 (destiny number) indicates a tendency to seek answers within, to consult the wisdom of the ancients that resides within you. It is an analytic number and very spiritual.

Your vowels number 9 (heart's desire) tells me you have an affinity for all of humankind and desire to do what you can for its happiness. In numerology, the number 9 also resonates with genius and drama.

Your power number 1 (name/birth combo, a number that became noticeable for you in year 1994) says you are independent, clever, with originality of thought providing opportunity for leadership. A life achievement is likely to be that of an inventor, a leader, or a creator of ideas.

The power number is a life achievement number. It's influence grows gradually. It may not be noticed at first. Eventually, however, a person realizes their outlook on life has changed.

Your birth date number 3 (life path) is a creative and sociable number. The life path number remains constant regardless what changes the name undergoes.

Pattison

When your last name changed to Pattison, your destiny number changed to 2, a number of cooperation and teamwork. And your heart's desire number changed to 1, a number, as indicated above, of independence, leadership, and exploration.

If the marriage occurred before 1994, your power number was without force. If your name was Pattison in 1994, your power number emerged as a 5, a number providing for active latter days of life with many opportunities for travel or other variety of experiences. A life achievement is likely to be related to art or literature, perhaps with the resonance of a born salesperson.

Moss

When your last name changed to Moss, your destiny number became 8, a number of finance and creating large works that benefit society. Your heart's desire number became 9, the same as your birth name heart's desire number.

With the name change, your power number changed to 11. An 11 power number brings with it a strong urge for a life achievement of inspired spiritual leadership. It may be the most powerful number in all of numerology.

Husband

Your husband's destiny number, heart's desire number, and life path are all the number 4. He is familiar with work and paying attention to details and, I'm certain, has attention on building or enhancing a firm foundation for your futures.

Your husband's power number is 8. It resonates with recognition, position, and authority. A life achievement is likely to be that of an executive, a politician, or an acquirer of wealth.

HealingHeart

Congratulations on a wonderful choice of business name. It's destiny and heart's desire numbers resonate well with yours. Its destiny number 9 gives it purpose aligned with humankind and a resonance with drama and genius. Its heart's desire number 3 gives it creativity and friendliness.

Your choice of date to register the business name is fortuitous. It's life path number 7 is the same as your birth name destiny number. A nice resonance there.

Other Information

The resonance of the birth name numerology profile numbers are always present. Name changes bring additional numbers to the mix, with resonance or with dissonance or with both. But the birth number vibrations are always there, underlying those of the later added numbers.

Consider the birth name the foundation. Name changes can be considered structure changes. The foundation remains the same throughout. The structure changes can be in harmony with the foundation or they can be conflicting.

The power number is very important, affecting our sense of what we want our life accomplishment to be. This may be the most important consideration in name changes, especially for those who have passed the point where the power number becomes a force.

Depending on other major numbers in the numberology profile, the power number can introduce feelings conflicting with the previous sense of self along with confusion associated with seemingly other-determined changes in life outlook and goals.

When the power number changes with a name change, it can cause real disorientation.

It is good to know what your power number is and what it brings to your life. It gives you opportunity to accept it and align yourself with its vibrations. Or not, if that is your choice. But at least you have a choice. Knowing the number and its power can resolve internal conflicts and confusions.

Marriage partner compatibility may or may not be a significant factor. Much depends on the degree of respect for each other and the willingness to resolve any conflicts so both are satisfied. The Marriage Compatibility Calculator can be used for a short software-generated numerology compatibility report with your husband's details and each of the names you are considering.

When a business name resonates well with the owner or chief executive officer it is more likely to succeed. This resonance can be as important to success as the business name itself.
