First Day of the Month

All people with a first birth day are referred to as One personalities. They enter the world well equipped to face life with qualities of self-preservation, self-determination, independence, and self-consciousness. These attributes, among others, of the 1 vibration, form their fundamental personality structure. They do not need boosting of self-confidence since a strong sense of self-identity is a natural characteristic. Children with this birth day grow into leaders and decision makers, with the capacity to stand on their own feet early in life. Non-dependency, self-sufficiency, and self-promotion are some of their motivating forces.

As firm individualists, they will spend much time attending to their own affairs. They do not need, nor do they look for, frequent help or guidance from loved ones or others. Many would, in fact, resent excessive interest or interference in their decisions and actions. However, on the occasions One children feel the need to gain the attention of anyone, they do so without hesitation or consideration of the person, time, or place. Fluency of speech and an extensive vocabulary may not be among their best attributes, but they get their way by assertive and emphatic speech, and demanding body language. Being generally self-centered, the object of all their thoughts is their individuality. If they apply their attention to some other person, it will usually be in connection with that person's usefulness to themselves.

Most One personalities possess the willpower to do what they want or not to do what they do not want. They will not be led or misled by their peers. Although self-centered by nature, siblings, schoolmates, and friends can depend on their qualities of leadership, authority, and practicality whenever help or protection is required. A One child's first day at school will not be a traumatic experience. In the event of the break-up of a family unit, a One child has the capacity to take over to a fair extent the responsibilities of a parent. However, cooperation and sharing are not natural qualities found in these children or adults. "Whatever is mine is mine, and whatever is yours is yours" is their natural attitude. These children should not be expected to willingly share their toys and other possessions. They may give but not share. The 1 vibration's strong sense of ownership is responsible for this attitude. This is also a vibration that prompts its subjects to go out and acquire and keep on acquiring. These attributes will eventually be reflected in the responsible use of money and material possessions.

Most One children are of an extroverted nature. In some rare instances, however, they can be loners. They are not easily amenable to restrictions, discipline, or censure. They can also be deeply resentful of criticism. They might react with defiance and rebelliousness. Strong egos and pride are basic attributes of the 1 vibration. They seldom admit that they have been in the wrong. Quite early in life they may develop expertise in justifying themselves in whatever they say or do, whether right or wrong. With a firm "I" and "my" mentality, they exhibit a strong, competitive spirit. They play to win in any form of competition and are not usually gallant losers. Emerging qualities of willpower, decisiveness, determination, leadership, courage, independence, self-reliance, guardianship, aggression, and obstinacy will be observed early in life, developing into fully fledged characteristics as they grow older.

As the 1 vibration operates within the physical plane, these children may not display or express much sentimentality. Sooner rather than later, they break loose from the affectionate and cuddly stage as they feel little need to be constantly kissed and hugged. A One child will cry — and cry loudly — in frustration or anger when deprived of something they want but not for sentimental reasons. Their emotions will be demonstrated in deeds, exceptional loyalty, and a protective manner toward all loved ones. One children are not likely to be bullied in school. However, some could turn into bullies if they have been nurtured in a quarrelsome home environment or exposed to the wrong role models.

One children possess a physically active temperament. For the most part, they learn through observation rather than direct instruction. They will need astute guidance if they are to reach a balance between study, play, and other responsibilities. Once set upon a course of action, a One child, or a One adult for that matter, is not likely to give up. They possess a high sense of achievement that they are loathe to surrender. One children have the capacity to resist demands or expectations not conducive to their natural abilities. A few who may suffer a temporary setback created by domineering parents soon come into their own as they grow older and begin acting under their own steam. Future employment prospects will always be good due to the 1 vibration's attributes of ambition, competition, self-promotion, enterprise, initiative, motivation, originality, and willpower. If these Ones do not end up as leaders in one form or other, they will be found striking out on their own as their own masters. On the rare occasions they enter into partnerships, they will hold the role of senior partner. The following is a summary of differences in One personalities when their birth months are taken into consideration.

Ones Born in January (first month)

A birth date containing different numbers or vibrations in the birth day and birth month provides two or more avenues for self-expression, those of the birth day being formative and the birth month contributory. The birth year, too, provides vibrations that contribute toward the formation of the integral personality. But these are minor forces that do not exercise an appreciable influence.

In the event of the birth day and birth month being the same as it is in One personalities born in the first month, the individual, on the one hand, does not possess a second significant opening for self-expression. On the other hand, attributes of the birth day vibration are intensified by repetition. Depending on the nature of the vibration of the birth day, such intensification may not always result in a strengthening of the integral personality. It may, in fact, give rise to certain negative aspects of the birth day vibration. This is a condition that can only be found with single-digit birth days.

In the case of a One personality, the repetition of the 1 vibration in the birth month could result in a strengthening of some 1 attributes and the hardening in negative ways of others. For instance, willpower, concentration, self-sufficiency, vital energy, memory, persistence, individuality, creativity, and single-mindedness are some attributes that are strengthened. At the same time, the personality tends to live in a black-and-white world with few shades of gray. Rigidity, inflexibility, a restricted imagination, dogmatism, obstinacy, fear, sensitivity egotism, and above all, a real difficulty demonstrating emotion, are some problems. These children soon grow out of a need for close body contact. They can easily be misunderstood. The truth is that they are by no means insensitive toward loved ones as they do possess a soft center of love and loyalty. They display these attributes only on their own terms and in their own ways.
