- Energy 1 in the Destiny Matrix corresponds to the arcana The Magician and is called the energy of the wizard and the miracle-worker.
- A person with energy 1 in the Destiny Matrix is a born leader and pioneer who cannot stand pressure and values freedom above all else.
- The thoughts of a person with energy 1 are material: every thought is followed by the energy of action, which turns the idea into reality.
- In its minus, energy 1 in the Destiny Matrix shows up as two extremes: pride with a sense of superiority over others, or lack of self-belief and complexes.
- The purpose of the 1st arcana is to share knowledge with people, in speech or in writing, to teach others and to be a mentor to them.
The first energy in the Destiny Matrix corresponds to the arcana The Magician. It is called the energy of the wizard and the miracle-worker. A person with a one is a channel for divine power, a gift the Universe gave them at birth. They are a leader and a pioneer: they open a road that many others will later walk.
Every thought of the Magician is followed by the energy of action, so their thinking directly creates their reality. Anything that has ripened in the mind as an idea can be brought to life through willpower and the drive to win. As soon as they start acting, everything they need arrives: money, gifts, people, events, opportunities. The Magician is called the master of the elements. From air they get emotions, the power of words, intellect, the ability to persuade and to negotiate; from earth, control over finances, material well-being, creativity and career growth. Water gives them command of their emotions, and fire gives them the energy of achievement.
For the first arcana, the road to success begins with the inner word. These people have a gift for public speaking, a strong throat chakra and the ability to persuade and to reach their goals. This is one of the magical, esoteric arcana: in its plus, these abilities can be developed and monetised by helping others. Unusual ideas come to the Magician, and there is no need to be afraid of sharing them. That is how like-minded people, sponsors and partners are found, and an idea you lack the resources for can be handed to someone else to bring to life.
In past incarnations, people of the first arcana passed through every stage of the other arcana. They came into this life to achieve, to lead, to be kings and queens, and to bring something new and useful into the world. A quiet, measured, grey life is not for them. The one amplifies the whole matrix: if most of the energies are in their minus, the minus grows stronger; if they are in their plus, the plus grows stronger. The only thing that can stop such a person is their own pride. Little by little it strips them of the protection of higher powers and of the ability to materialise thoughts, and then the thoughts themselves turn destructive.
According to one interpretation, a one can appear in only two points of the matrix: in the day of birth, if you were born on the 1st, and in the month, if you were born in January. In every other case this energy is considered impossible. Other interpretations describe the one more widely: in the year of birth, in the comfort point, in the talent zone, in the karmic task, in the parent-child channel and in the family programme.
- You are a born leader and pioneer: you open new paths and inspire people with your ideas.
- The power of thought and word: you materialise your desires with ease and turn into reality what others consider impossible.
- An original, sharp mind, quick wits and inventiveness. You have plenty of ideas and take on new projects quickly.
- A gift for words and an outgoing nature: you know how to persuade and negotiate, and you always find something to say.
- Self-reliance and independence. You reach the heights of mastery on your own, you cannot stand pressure or orders, and freedom is your main goal.
- Optimism and a taste for excitement. You are drawn to travel, discovery and new experiences, and you find stagnation harder to bear than upheaval.
- Sensitivity to energies and the spiritual world: you can direct the potential of the Universe into earthly affairs, spiritual life or creative work.
- Self-confidence, charisma and a strong will. You love being the centre of attention, you stay young at heart, active and mischievous.
- Everything falls into place: resources, helpers and favourable circumstances turn up. You choose the very best and most luxurious, and you easily connect with people at any level.
- Generosity and loyalty. You willingly share your skills and experience, and whoever wins your heart gains a devoted, loving friend and protector.
- Pride and the "crown": a sense of superiority, star syndrome, delusions of grandeur, belittling other people's success.
- Self-centredness and a consumer attitude to people, when all that is left in your speech is "me", "mine" and "give me".
- Domineering behaviour, psychological pressure and crushing other people's will, abuse of power, manipulation, using your abilities for selfish ends.
- Touchiness, vanity, lack of principles. The person does not accept criticism or other people's opinions and is ready to destroy a team over disagreement.
- Inability to forgive or to give way: ties with relatives, friends, partners and colleagues are cut without regret. The outcome is loneliness and aggression.
- The opposite extreme: no faith in yourself or your talent, complexes and fears, seeking other people's approval, losing your balance at the slightest criticism.
- Fear of starting something new and inability to finish what you started. There is no goal and no result; the person closes off from others and finds it hard to communicate.
- Unwillingness to share ideas for fear they will be stolen, and intolerance of competition.
- All achievements are credited to yourself alone, and the help of higher powers is denied. Magical abilities are either rejected or used to do harm. This also includes retreating into the purely material with no spiritual development.
- Avoidant behaviour and "achievement depression". The person walks away from anything that might bring discomfort: from having children, from responsibility when someone falls ill, from relationships that hit difficulties. Having reached the goal, instead of joy they sink into gloom and lose all meaning until a new goal appears.
In different points of the chart
The same energy is read differently depending on where it stands.
1 · In the day of birth · point A
A one in the day of birth gives exceptional abilities and a drive for personal and social fulfilment. You are an innovator and a leader, independent in your decisions and actions, and you know how to turn dreams into reality. It matters to you to find a field where you can express your creative individuality and create something unique.
You have the strength and the opportunities to achieve your goals. You are confident in your abilities, you gladly take on new ventures and you look at life positively. Once something captures you, you give yourself to it completely. When you live in harmony with this energy, you feel joy and inspiration, and your outer attractiveness reflects your inner light. If you trust the higher powers and open up to them, life becomes an adventure full of miracles. You treat those who deal with you honestly as equals, and the only authority you recognise is genuine faith in the power of the spirit.
In its minus, an inflated sense of your own importance and uniqueness leads to selfishness. There is a risk of using your abilities for selfish ends, of crushing and subjugating other people. The opposite picture is also possible: no faith in your own strength, no self-respect, complexes. Then come withdrawal and a tendency towards social isolation, weak will and motivation, pessimism, irritability and fear of the unknown.
The Magician in the minus is described as an eternal teenager in constant conflict with the world. It is the make-up of a counter-dependent narcissistic personality that needs fame, respect and recognition of its knowledge and eloquence. Such a person underlines their exceptionality through clothes, appearance and the timbre of their voice, and tries to learn what others do not know in order to show their superiority. As long as they are praised, they return the favour. When the praise stops, they turn around and leave. They project conflicts onto those around them through the accusation "you don't respect me", and in such moments they are easy to manipulate by telling them what they want to hear. You can hurt them only once: they do not give a second chance.
- Look for a balance between fulfilling your potential and respecting other people.
- Strengthen your faith in yourself and your abilities.
1 · In the month · point B
A one in the month of birth speaks of a gift from above: the power of the miracle-worker, the magical power of thought and word. Your energy is tuned to materialising desires, and your connection with all four elements opens the way to complete success in love, work and health. Your contact with the Higher powers is established through the word.
You are naturally sensitive to energy, you know how to work with it and how to fulfil desires by the power of thought. You have an extraordinary creative gift, and personal fulfilment matters to you: you look for a field where you can create something unique, for example one-of-a-kind jewellery. You also have leadership talents. You can work alone or with equal partners, but you do not allow anyone to put pressure on you.
Starting something new connects you to a source of divine energy that leads and guides you. The main thing here is to take the first step towards the new in order to enter this flow. Moving in a new direction along the channel that links you with the Higher, you recognise yourself as a leader and receive the power of the flow.
In everyday life, you can be your own guardian angel. It may also be a man: a son, a brother, a husband. It may be a psychologist, a hypnotherapist, a neurologist, a magician, a shaman, a scientist, a professional at the top of their field, someone who loves learning and works a great deal with words, such as a politician or a writer. The one is considered the energy of Zeus and Hermes Trismegistus, and in the Christian tradition the energy of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In honour of Hermes, some people wear a gold ring with a ruby on the little finger of the right hand; an Indian ruby in any yellow metal also works. Such a ring helps to keep in touch with your guardian angel and to earn money more easily, and anyone can wear it, not only those born under this energy. The filters of the one are built through the word: these are blocks put in place during puberty.
- Write affirmations and state your intentions clearly. Learn to use words well, read widely and keep studying.
- Seek spiritual and Divine knowledge, go deeper into esoteric practice, master techniques for materialising thought and for working with the four elements. Use your magical abilities for good.
- Raise your self-esteem and self-confidence. Believe that you were born a wizard, learn to govern the power of your mind and to create a positive attitude within yourself.
- Let go of unnecessary inner limits, stereotypes and doubts. Believe in miracles.
1 · In the year · point C
In the year of birth, the one shows mostly in its minus. Most often this is selfishness and pride, or else lack of self-belief and dislike of oneself. If you live in the minus all the time, the matrix seems to collapse in on itself: the person suffers and forgets about all their other energies.
The first form of the minus is tied to pride. The person recognises only their own importance and uniqueness, feels superior to those around them and disregards their interests. From this come using abilities for selfish ends, the urge to crush and subjugate, a complete rejection of criticism and an inability to forgive.
The second form looks like the opposite: an inferiority complex and no faith in oneself. As a result, abilities and talents go unused. The person is afraid to start anything new and tends to abandon what they have begun.
- Believe in yourself and your creative potential, and raise your self-esteem.
- Act for the good of those around you without expecting favours from others, and learn to forgive.
- Find work you love, develop your creative abilities and study the laws of materialising thought. Take on new things boldly and lead people forward.
- Practise meditation to calm your thoughts, and spend more time in nature: that is where you recharge your strength and energy.
1 · In the bottom corner · point D
The karmic task of the one: to learn to communicate properly and to build good relationships with your brothers and sisters. The main tool here is the word.
Positive contacts, good relations with family and properly built communication with the people around you help to complete this task. Relationships with brothers and sisters hold a special place among them.
- Work with words constantly.
- Learn to take responsibility for what you say.
1 · In the centre · comfort zone
A one in the centre of the matrix describes your comfort point. You draw strength when you learn something unique and do intellectual work. Your core need is respect, the chance to be heard, and words of recognition from other people.
Your energy comes from your own sense of satisfaction when you do what others cannot.
Society sees you as a leader and expects you to open new paths and lead people forward. You love being the centre of attention, you easily connect with people at any level, and for your inner circle you choose strong, interesting personalities. According to another description, the Magician in the plus is self-assured and does not need the approval of others, while seeking approval is considered a sign of the minus.
- Believe in yourself and be the first to act for the good of others, instead of waiting for good things to come on their own.
- Find work you love: it restores self-esteem and develops your creative and energetic abilities. Cut your own path; you do not need to walk a trail someone else has trodden.
- Study the law of materialisation: thought comes before manifestation. Apply it consciously.
- Work on your selfishness and on your self-esteem, whether it is inflated or too low. Start respecting yourself and others: healing begins with self-respect.
- Talk to people as equals and take more than your own opinion into account. Notice other people's merits, make compromises, learn to forgive mistakes and take off the "crown".
- Be a leader without fearing responsibility. Direct your talents to the benefit of society, share your ideas and help those who need a hint and a direction.
- Develop spiritually: meditate, pray, perform rituals, travel to places of power and ask the higher powers for help. Meditation and places of power also help to calm aggression.
- First clear your karmic blocks; after that, life flows easily. If you lack confidence, work through its root causes, including those from childhood. If you struggle with aggression and selfishness, work out what this behaviour gives you and whether it repeats your parents' pattern.
