Numerology is the study of numbers.
Each number from 1-9 and the Master Numbers 11 and 22 have certain properties that make them unique. To better understand numerology, you really need to get to know the energy, personality and vibe of each individual number before they can be applied in a numerology reading to give you insight into your life path.
What better place to start than with number 1?
What does 1 represent?
In numerology and most other areas of life, 1 indicates a beginning.
We talk about first steps, a starting point. The number 1 represents the infinite possibilities of ‘day 1’. It radiates assertiveness and drive. It takes the potential that the placeholder 0 brings and gives it shape. It takes the abstract and makes it tangible, transforming ideas into a plan with purpose and power.
The number 1 is also proud of what he has achieved.
Think of it as an arrow. It has goals and the momentum to achieve them. When obstacles stand in the way, he pierces them and moves on.

A 1 in Relationships
You don’t shy away from being your own person. Others may have tried to change your nature, but they have probably learned the lesson that you will not be coerced or manipulated the hard way! You are generally fair and balanced in your thinking and do not let things get too complicated.
You tend to see things as right or wrong, positive or negative. You’re not interested in fluff. You want facts. You abhor dishonesty and prejudice of any kind.
You will not suffer fools, and you will not be persuaded or coerced into anything that is not already on your agenda. You are strong enough to believe in your choices and trust your own judgment. When you are motivated by your beliefs and opinions, you are not afraid of confrontation or being unpopular if it means being right.
If someone disagrees with you, he/she will probably lose the argument, but you will develop a degree of respect for him/her for having the courage to stand up to you.
You are headstrong; determination and independence are your keywords. You are original and creative, but you are also impatient, which can be your downfall.
Try to remember that there are other people in your life, and you have to compromise and meet their needs as well. You may need to learn how to be more sensitive to the feelings of others, and if you can do that, you will find that you have natural leadership skills. People will naturally appreciate you warmly and let you take charge.
At some point in one of your past lives, your soul lacked the nourishment and sustenance it needed. You have done so much for others, but you have not taken good care of yourself. You lost your drive and your sense of purpose, and you started saying yes and doing things to keep the peace.
Every time you did this, a part of you withered. You are here in this life to restore balance. You will find your self-esteem and you will learn how to be more independent of others and their opinions.
A heart’s desire from the number 1 means that you have a lot of independence and willingness. You live by your own rules and take no prisoners along the way. No one is going to tell you what to do or how to do it – and woe betide them if they try!
You are competitive and want to be the leader of the pack. You are also suitable for this role. Your sense of adventure and natural curiosity will take you places if you let it. You will have to find a way to channel a cooperative spirit along with your assertiveness.
You are open, friendly and outgoing, and people easily adopt your natural, warm temperament. You may have to work to keep their affection because you can be blunt and strong-willed.
You want to say what you think when you think it, and some people aren’t prepared for that level of candor. Even if you have developed a little self-discipline, many people will think you are stubborn, but you are unlikely to worry about that.
Your talents and passions probably won’t remain hidden for long! You are a natural leader and do not hesitate to step forward. You are competitive; you want to be noticed and stand out from the crowd.
You enjoy being the center of attention. You are normally honest and sincere, but when you realize how compelling others find you, it can be tempting to influence them to do what you want to achieve your own goals.
This is a year of new beginnings. You must continue to simplify your life and seek out our high-quality people and opportunities to make room for exciting possibilities. How do you want your life to unfold in the coming years? You are in control and you can steer yourself towards achieving your goals.
Even though you are the driver of your own choices, decisions may have been forced on you. Discernment is essential if you want to use this year as a foundation for your long-term success.
