The Meaning of Number 1
Numerology is the study of the mystical relationship between numbers and specific events that appear to coincide with them in the world of form.
Numbers themselves are abstract symbols that seem to be arbitrarily determined.
However, when you look a little more closely you can see that the relationships between the meanings of numbers and the coinciding events appear to have a causal relationship that can only be explained as the result of some kind of intervening intelligence.
Each number has its own vibrational essence which is somewhat like a personality or character.
When certain numbers appear you can expect their appearance to be related to specific sets of circumstances.
The analysis of these relationships and the prediction of potential future circumstances is the overarching purpose of Numerology.

Understanding the Special Essence of Number 1
The number 1 is such an essential number that you can’t imagine any system of knowledge without it.
The concept of the single, individual person is the foundation of philosophy, psychology and political action. However, being just one person, alone, can get lonely.
In the Upanishads, the Hindu sacred literature, it is said that at one time the universe was just one single being. Suddenly, that being understood itself to be alone and became lonely and afraid.
It is at that point that the universe itself brought forth all of the diversity that we know of in the universe by splitting into pairs of opposites.
People may wonder why they come into this life with the life path or destiny number of 1.
Often it is karma because in a past life they were lonely or afraid and did not take advantage of their creative gifts or leadership opportunities.
Just realize that anyone whose numerological chart is heavy with a 1 energy has a creative genius inside of them, who is like the Magician in the Tarot — overflowing with talent, confidence and leadership potential.
If there is a downside to being a number one it is ego. Those who have a large amount of 1 energy operating in their charts should be aware of their egos and hold them in check.
In this way, when a lot of ones appear in your experience, it could also be a warning from source energy or your guardian angel to watch your ego and not become arrogant.
