Life Path 1

Your mission and lessons for this incarnation

By Katie YouersPublished 6 years ago 6 min read

Your life path number is the most important and powerful number in your chart, it’s the contract you agreed with your spirit guide before this life time, it’s the central focus in your life, it represents your chosen areas for development in this incarnation, this means that the achievement of this path is not going to be easy. This path is not a talent, it’s your added potential talent, if you weren’t up for the task, you wouldn’t have it in your life path, it’s your lesson and your chosen evolution for this incarnation. You may experience problems on the journey to this path but that’s the whole point, your ultimate goal in this life is to overcome the difficulties and transcend them. You may just have one number for your life path, or you may have a life path that includes steps or sub lessons like this 34/7. The number furthest to the right is your ultimate life path number 34/7, the two numbers to the left are your steps to help you achieve your life path. The most important of your steps or sub lessons is the number closest to the forward slash 34/7. Your individual life path is made totally individual by the sub lessons and all the other numbers in your chart, they all have an influence in the flavour of you, like the choice of herbs in a meal.

You have chosen to incarnate to learn the lessons of the 1 life path energy because when speaking to your spirit guide before this life, you highlighted that you needed to learn the lessons of the 1 energy. You are here to develop independence and a sense of confidence which enables you to take risks, to take the road less travelled and bring positive creative energy into this world, from new ideas through to art and innovation, to be comfortable with yourself if different from the norm.

At your highest vibration, creative ideas, projects and energy flow like a river and your confidence, not based on the approval of others, is established and used to project unique new ideas that you manifest powerfully. You have the leadership, assertiveness and bravery to be an independent warrior with your bright and brutally honest, strong demeanour. You have a massive energy field, you are joyful, passionate, full of personal magnetism and very productive.

Your challenges are also in the realms of confidence and creativity, your creativity will always manifest even if it is in bad or destructive ways. You need to come to terms with your responsibility and the power of your choices, for example planning a crime may not be the best choice to manifest your creativity, so use your power responsibly. Also, your need for approval from others can repress your creativity until it bursts out through substance abuse, food or sex. When you are like this, your reproductive and lower areas of your torso can cause you problems... You can sometimes feel different, out of place or somehow inferior.

The one energy is associated with beginnings, the driving force and the first masculine number. It is associated with God the creator and the sun. You are a creative, initiator and pioneer of unique new ideas, you are an innovator, a catalyst for change and you are always developing yourself to be better. Whether you are initiating ideas in the corporate world to benefit us as consumers or standing at an easel painting your creations onto canvas, you are here to bring that creative energy, whatever that may be, to improve the world. However, you create whatever you do, you always create, positive and negative, so you must be careful that you are not pumping your creative energy into negative pursuits, for example, you could create an app to help others or a virus to cause destruction.

You need to find your own uniqueness and be confident and proud to do things differently, even if you are seen by others as eccentric, you need to work towards your own individuality, innovate and be proud to take your ideas forward with a team behind you. You don’t see any merit in doing what everyone else is doing, you want to be original, new and do something different. Some 1’s hold themselves back by being ashamed of their uniqueness, feel that they are not good enough or that their unique perspective is useless. This is wrong, your individuality is yours only and can change your life for the better when you embrace it.

Determination runs through your veins and you are willing to grasp new challenges with power. When you are confident in your creativity, you will love the spotlight and all the accolades and respect that comes with it. However, as a 1, you have the potential to hold yourself back from expressing your unique ideas due to lack of confidence.

Your path needs you to like action, to initiate, create practical solutions and get started, to feel impatience with the planning stage and be a driven, doer, to start and get the job done. You are extremely independent, and you can push people away with your aggressive manner, but you need others because you can lose momentum after the initial idea. A person with a 2 life path can support your idea, a 3 will help you express your idea and someone with the 4 energy with be the one that helps you build your idea into a business with a strong foundation, and so on. You are also competitive and strong with the potential to be a powerful cause fighter. You are resilient, a powerful trendsetter and leader, brave protector with the potential to be pioneering and innovative. When you are achieving your life path, you are a leader, creator, productive doer and improver, from the classical arts, music, dance, writing too being a visionary of new ideas. All this together gives you high potential in business. You are a perfectionist which can make you too critical of yourself and others which means you have unreachable targets for yourself and others, setting yourself and others up for failure.

When vibrating in the 1, you are a confident, independent risk taker, a very authoritative leader with assertiveness and bravery to surge ahead. You don’t really need people, but when you do work with others, you like to be in charge. You need to learn to bring people together in order to bring your ideas to fruition. You like to be the best, you are extremely competitive and put your own needs first, you can be a bit of a show-off, and sometimes come across aggressive, but that’s because you are passionate, driven and results orientated. You have high expectations, and are successful, honourable, and responsible, self-motivated, self-reliant, enthusiastic and playful. You’re full of boundless energy, bouncing around everyone like Tigger, impatient and desperate to make an impact.

When struggling with a low vibration, you are egotistical, you may feel you are better than others and convince yourself you don’t need others help, simply because you don’t trust others to do a good job, consequently, you can have problems in your leadership around delegation. Or in contrast, you may tell yourself that you’re not good enough, struggle to be heard due to you own low self-worth, crave external validation and end up standing stock still, crippled by fear. You may have been ridiculed for your uniqueness, or told that you and your ideas are weird, which makes you feel different and out of place. As a consequence, you can become overly independent, self-absorbed and closed off from others but it’s vital that you connect with others and bring them together to help you develop your ideas.

The counter side of determination is stubbornness, you also have a fiery temper when feeling negative. You are controlling and co-dependent which will impact the way you lead, at worst you can have a very autocratic style, sometimes tyrannical. You can be ruthless, intimidating and critical with supressed guilt or anger that can be expressed in damaging ways. You can also be selfish, impatient and intolerant, pushing others needs aside in favour of your own agenda. You have vast amounts of energy that will express positively or negatively, you need to overcome insecurity to stop you discharging energy negatively through obsession, addiction or self-absorption. But you can also drag your heals, become apathetic and lazy, especially if your confidence is low and you don’t believe in your own abilities. Your choices have powerful consequences so you must keep this in mind and take responsibility for your choices. Relationships are not uppermost in your mind, but you are intensely loyal when in a relationship, career goals or causes are more likely to be at the forefront of your mind.
