In numerology, your date of birth and your name is associated with certain compound and single digit numbers. This article explores the personality traits, characteristics and challenges that are correlated to the single digit Number One (1).
The number One is expressed in the Indo-Arabic (or Hindu-Arabic) numeral system as a vertical line. In the modern version of this system, the number One stands straight and alone, appearing direct and candid. In this position, it has been thought to symbolize the connection between Heaven and Earth, representing the flow of life energy. It was Pythagoras who is said to have noted that the One is both limited and unlimited ~ limited to itself and yet unlimited in other numerals. In other words, there is only the one in One, but there are 10 ones in 10, 100 ones in 100 and so on. Hence, it is thought that the One is the first, and from the One, all else is derived. Here, it is interesting to observe the following:
M A N : 4 + 1 + 5 = 10 --> 1
A D A M : 1 + 4 + 1 + 4 = 10 --> 1
Thus, in both ancient and modern numerology, we think of a person whose birthdate or name reveals the numeral One as being a person who is independent, original, bold, confident, strong, determined, courageous, action-oriented, solitary and creative ~ a leader, inventor, visionary, designer, architect, originator and creator.
While the Number One is associated with such powerful positive qualities, in terms of evolution through the numbers (its place and its expression on the Earthly plane), it is at the first position and thus considered to be a youngster ~ fresh and new with innovative, creative potential but lacking in experience and maturity. The Number One is the ultimate "I AM" consciousness and the Number One individual can be likened to a young child who views the world in the context of "I am at the center", "I am special" or "I am exclusive". Hence, the person who incarnates with such potent possibilities also has many lessons to learn as his/her soul develops itself on this plane.
These lessons principally involve overcoming purely self-centered, egotistical and selfish desires and ambitions which, if not successfully reconciled in the Number One individual, can manifest themselves as arrogance, tyrany, manipulation, domination, impatience, stubborness, narrow-mindedness, laziness and fearfulness.
If the Number One individual can master his/her self-centered impulses, s/he can realize his/her full potential on the Earthly plane and be a fearless, courageous, benevolent and generous leader and creator.
