The character of number 1

Number 1 is the number of initiative, independence and the courage to begin. It is the number of the beginner — the one who moves before permission arrives. It carries initiative, independence and the courage to start something with no guarantee it will work. People who carry it strongly tend to do their best work leading rather than following, and their biggest lesson is usually learning to let others in without losing their own direction.

Birth number, life path number and name number

The birth number (mulank) is the sum of the digits of the day you were born: someone born on the 14th has 1+4 = 5. The life path number (bhagyank) adds every digit of the full date: 14-06-1990 gives 1+4+0+6+1+9+9+0 = 30, then 3+0 = 3. The name number comes from the letters of the name. Each is reduced to a single digit, except 11, 22 and 33, which are kept as master numbers.
