A Closer Look at the Number 1 in Numerology

The Sun is the ruling planet of people born on day 1, 10, 19, or 28 of any month,
or whose destiny or name number adds up to 1. The qualities of the Sun
described below are most clearly visible in people who have a psychic number
of 1.
The Sun is the father of our solar system, around which all of our planets
revolve. All living forms within our solar system depend on the Sun for their life
force. Any planet that is in conjunction with the Sun loses its power; any planet
that comes too near the Sun becomes retrograde. King of the solar system, the
Sun follows the laws inherent in the particles of energy, the cosmic law. The
Sun, known for its regularity of movement, completes one revolution around its
own axis in twenty-five days.
According to the Hindu scriptures, the Sun is the dwelling place of ancestors
and is the first of eight vasus (dwelling places of consciousness). The luminous,
effulgent mass, visible with the naked eye, is the Sun’s body; its consciousness
is represented by a kshatriya (warrior king) on his chariot, driven by seven
horses (which represent the seven rays of light). His chariot moves steadily on a
solitary wheel.
The Sun gives an assertive, individualistic, exuberant, and proud nature.
The Sun represents a purifying male energy. Associated with Vishnu, the Lord
of preservation, the Sun is characterized as having a stable and selfless nature,
one that is strong, firm, authoritative, royal, and respectable. It is lord of the
East. The Moon, Mars, and Jupiter are friends to the Sun. Saturn, Venus, Rahu,
and Ketu (north and south nodes of Moon) are its enemies. Mercury has a
neutral relationship with the Sun.
According to astrologers, the Sun passes through one of the twelve zodiac
signs each month. The Sun is exalted (at its peak) in Aries; this power decreases
gradually, until the Sun passes Virgo. From Libra onward, the energy starts its
full descent and becomes weakest when it reaches the zodiac sign Pisces. From
there, it again rises to its peak in Aries. It rules the zodiac sign Leo.
The Sun influences the intellect—it makes its natives masculine, authoritative,
harsh, strong, witty, extroverted, helpful to friends, and brutal to enemies. Like a
lion, the upper torso of a native influenced by the Sun is more developed than
the lower half. They become famous and achieve top positions in their field of
work. Sun natives have bile-dominated temperaments. The Sun rules over the
right eye, right nostril, pingala nadi (right channel), the right side of the body,
and the left hemisphere of the brain.

NUMBER 1
Psychic Number 1

One is the psychic number of those born on day 1, 10, 19, or 28 of any month.
Psychic number 1 people are ruled by the Sun, which gives them fixity of
purpose and ideas. They tend to adhere to their ideas, especially when convinced
that they are on the right track. It is difficult to persuade them to change their
mode of behavior, opinion, conviction, or decision. They also formulate their
ideas quickly.
They have a clear understanding and a particular point of view, which
dominates throughout all the things they do in life. They are sober, solid,
punctual, and clear in their expressions.
They have a strong individuality and need a lot of attention and respect; they

doing hard physical labor. Generally high spirited, they are large hearted and
hardworking people, free from envy, malice, and grudge. They are efficient in
their jobs, honest and true, and right most of the time, because they make the
correct decisions at the appropriate time. These qualities help them excel. They
rise in their jobs because they always think of reaching the highest ranks. They
labor hard to achieve the top and most of the time do so. If they do not succeed,
they become sad, pessimistic, upset, irritated, and depressed.
Psychic number 1 people have a fertile brain, brimming over with new
thoughts and ideas. They promote new ventures and new schemes.

Precautions for Psychic Number 1 People

Psychic number 1s should think of their budgets before spending extravagantly
on pomp and show, buying costly gifts, lending money, and investing in
business. They should not take risks in money matters.
They should not make hasty judgments, for these will bring failure.
They should refrain from the following:
Being overly ambitious.
Being too independent, lawless, or reckless.
Being too authoritative, bossy, or dictatorial.
Being too critical.
Demanding attention all the time.
Boasting.
Sensuality (if males).
Struggling alone and not asking for help.
Sharing beyond their limits with friends and guests.

Destiny Number 1

One is very good as a destiny number. As a psychic number, 1 makes individuals
work very hard to achieve prominence in life. But destiny number 1 people
enjoy the fruits of work done by others. Destiny number 1 people become
important in their own circles, consciously or unconsciously, while psychic
number one people want to become important, to become known and number
one in everything. Destiny 1 people are considered lucky by others. They are
favored with a strong mind in a strong body. They become leaders and heads of
their circle. Able to see the future clearly and plan accordingly, they achieve
success without effort. They get money unexpectedly and spend it with ease.
Destiny 1 people become known for their forbearance, patience,
organizational abilities, and persistence. If spiritually inclined, they become
heads of spiritual organizations and real teachers. As teachers they are clear,
precise, to the point; and they adhere to the truth. But since 1 is primarily a
number for worldly achievement and success, it is rare to find a great spiritual
leader with 1 as a destiny number. Destiny number 1 people are materialistic,
logical, and intellectual. Spirituality requires emotionality and faith, not logic.
Destiny number 1 makes its natives idealistic, courteous, kind, helpful,
popular, and quick in making judgments. Although they are right most of the
time, in periods when the Sun is weak (October, November, and December),
they can make mistakes. These bring them disappointments but teach them
tolerance.
They encourage their colleagues to excel, and they encourage young people to
become leaders. They are clever, always smiling, attractive, and draw attention.
Destiny number 1 people are not very romantic; they are unfortunate in
matters of marriage and love. They do, however, become great storytellers.
They are favored by government officials.
If their psychic number and name number are favorable (see chart on pages
188-189), destiny number 1 people rise beyond all expectations and become the
best in whatever they do. However, if these numbers are unfavorable, they
withdraw their participation and become introverted. Nevertheless, being lucky,
they achieve success and rise in the material field unobstructed. (This is not the
case when 1 is the psychic number or name number.) Destiny 1 people are born
with a missionary spirit and have a purpose in life.

Destiny 1 Women

Destiny 1 women who are not working in an organization devote their energy to
domestic life. They create a good environment for the friends, guests, and family
members. They help the needy and poor, and they become popular mother
figures. They are bold, cautious, sensitive, and face difficulties with grace.
If they do work in an organization, they hold important positions because of
their good qualities. They are sociable and have a regal way of handling things.
They have strong characters, orderly and systematic methods, and good
manners.

Destiny 1 Men

Destiny 1 men with a political career who are not allied with any party or
working in an organization, become popular and achieve high posts. They spend
their energy in planning to improve the living situation of the poor. They are
highly ambitious, authoritative, and pioneers in their fields. If they are writers,
they are scholarly and are very clear in expression; their topics are original.
If destiny 1 men work in an organization, they become heads of their
department. If they are born either when the Sun is strong, or on the twenty-
eighth of any month, they make good progress in their work. They gain the favor
of their superiors and subordinates and acquired top executive powers. If
businessmen, they make their fortunes between thirty-five to forty-nine years of
age, and save enough in the form of properties and bank deposits to secure their
future. They then devote their time and energy to the welfare of humanity. If
politicians, they are heads of their organizations.

Name Number 1

One as a name number can be beneficial. People with this name number are
remembered for a long time. As a name number alone, 1 is not capable of
bringing great success, but if aided by a destiny number of 1, it brings great
benefit—popularity, cooperation, fame, and attention. Having 1 as a name
number facilitates progress in all areas; it is very helpful for writers, poets,
musicians, actors, and leaders. The name number continues to work even after
death. It is effective and beneficial only in the social field.
