Destiny and Cycles of Life
Your destiny number indicates the cycle that you are on in your life. A life cycle is a repetitive pattern that appears in the lives of everyone who is aligned with a particular destiny number.
In discussing life cycles we will use Carl Jung’s stages of life as a framework on which to weave the tapestry of the 1 life path:
- Morning of Life – Someone with a destiny number of 1 will be a loner as a child because they are constantly excelling in school or trying to direct the play of others. 1’s are usually well educated and mentally and physically well developed. They usually have a plan for how they are going to take over the world by the end of 2nd grade.
- Noon of Life – The person aligned with a 1 vibration will come into his or her creative powers in early adulthood and become focused on achieving a certain set of goals. This goal directed thinking will set them on the course to either meeting their destiny or falling victim to the negative tendencies of their nature.
- Evening of Life – While most life paths tend to ride off into the sunset during this period, that is not so for those who are aligned with a 1 vibration. The evening of life is often the most creative and rewarding time for people with this life path number, as they begin to reap the fruits of all of those years of hard work.
This is the time in life when those who have a destiny number of 1 finally sit down and write that book they have always been meaning to write (which turns out to be a best seller) or they become a renown statesperson whose advice is sought by everyone in their industry.
