Number 1

The Pioneer

Independence · Leadership · Initiative

You were born to open the way. Will, autonomy and courage push you to carve a road of your own rather than follow someone else’s.

The mission of life path 1

the path of accomplishment

It is a solitary, demanding road: whoever takes it relies on their own resources alone and pays dearly for their mistakes. It calls for independence, courage and a strong sense of self. But at the end wait personal success, ambitions fulfilled, achievement. On this path you can become a leader, on one condition: never lean too heavily on others.

The counsel of the path. You are made to open new ways: do not be afraid to leave the beaten track. Every sacrifice to routine would cost you miles of detour.

The personality of the 1

Its temperament

You would rather lead than obey. Strong willed, independent and enterprising, you take the initiative without hesitating and draw others along behind you. Your shadow: a tendency to want to dominate.

At work

You have the soul of a leader: brave, decisive and deeply attached to your freedom. You want to own your successes and your mistakes alike, and you hate asking for help or admitting a weakness. Demanding with others, just as you are with yourself.

In love

You tend to take charge of operations. Sincere, generous and passionate, you still show little of what you feel: your manner can seem cold or distant while the fire burns underneath.

The body of the 1

Your points of vigilance: the heart, the circulation and the eyes. Your charging temperament burns a lot of fuel: you run on your nerves without feeling it, until the day the body presents the bill. Learn to come back down before it hurts: regular cardio to release the pressure, real breaks for your eyes, and the sleep you keep postponing.

Strengths

  • Willpower, initiative, the courage to decide
  • An independence that inspires others
  • A pioneer’s energy

What to work on

  • A tendency to dominate
  • Difficulty asking for help
  • An apparent coldness
