The ancient philosophers believed that the number one – or as they called it, the monad - “breathes in the void and creates all subsequent numbers” (here’s one for the mathematicians: 111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321)!
The number 1 is a symbol of unity and oneness. Its’ geometry – the circle – is the origin of all other shapes that are the building blocks of our universe. Without the number 1, nothing else can follow.
But the number 1 also stands out because of its boldness, its uniqueness and pioneering, independent nature. The 1 leads, and it's closely connected to the ego and the self.
Well, using the ancient art of Numerology, you can see that numbers are SO much more than just digits; they hold unique vibrational patterns (or archetypes) and are containers for the currents of divine, universal life, in which we all flow.
Numbers can be used to describe everything from the DNA sequences that connect you to your ancestors, to your most ordinary and everyday encounters.
Everything in life has a sacred meaning and purpose, and numbers can help you figure out what that is. For this reason, we like to think of Numerology as "decoding the voice of the Universe".
As well as describing the world around you, numbers and their archetypal, spiritual energy will often serve as signposts, indicating the best decisions to make and the next steps to take. This means that getting to know their unique qualities can bring a huge amount of insight, meaning, reassurance, and guidance for you, whilst you navigate the path of your life.
Is the Number 1 “the Best”?For a very long time in the West, the number one has equated to being the best.
Whether it's the number one song, album, youtube Video or box office blockbuster; the number one earner for the month, or the highest grade or attendance in school - the number one rating of anything is regarded by most people as unequivocally superior to the rest. The number one represents the strongest, most popular, most able, and most accomplished – it’s the pinnacle.
But the number 1 also represents individuality. It contains the creative spark, it takes the risk and goes first.
The number 1 implies exclusivity, rarity, and opportunity, as of course, it's unmatched! Think of how enticing “one day only” sales are, or how it might feel to beat the odds when they are “a million to one”!
“Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round” – Black Elk (1863 – 1950)
The number 1 occurs throughout nature as the circle.
Think about this for a moment. Circles are everywhere and created endlessly. From drops of water to the ripples forming across a lake. From the circular rings within a tree trunk, to the form of many flowers, as their petals radiate outwards in all directions. Your own body is formed of circles upon circles, and so are the planets and stars that spin and explode above our heads.

When under stress, the “me first” attitude of the number one can emerge as arrogance or a lack of concern for others’ feelings. Its constant desire to move forward can cause negative issues in relationships, especially if this leads a person to make foolish, indiscreet and knee-jerk mistakes. The wild spontaneity of the number 1 isn’t always a good thing!
As the 1 is closely connected to ego, those with an abundance of this number in their charts must learn to temper their most self-centred urges and show sensitivity and understanding to others.
