Root number 1
Born on 1 May
the Sun · the strength to stand on your own
Root number 1 belongs to the Sun, and the Sun stands in nobody's shadow. Neither do you.
Your three-layer personality
Root number 1 belongs to the Sun, and the Sun stands in nobody's shadow. Neither do you. Until you have built an identity of your own, in work, in business or within the family, you will not be satisfied. You decide quickly, and respect matters more to you than money. The one difficulty is that stubbornness sometimes outruns reason. Those born under this number show the same pattern again and again: the ones who learned to listen to the people close to them led for a long time, and the ones who never learned rose high and found themselves alone.
Your birthday is a single digit, so your nature, behaviour and core all share one number. Your personality is simple and clear.
Born in May: how it marks your life
friend The strength of your birth month is a friend to your root number. So the events below arrive comparatively easily and on time, with family and the people around you supporting them. This month's central theme is communication and movement.
- Childhood & family
- Childhood passes in restlessness; your mind does not stay in one place for long.
- Career turning point
- The turn comes through a journey, a transfer or an offer that arrives suddenly.
- Love & marriage
- You need freedom in a relationship. Tie the knot too tight and you suffocate.
- Places & travel
- Living in more than one city is indicated, with foreign travel and frequent moves being normal.
The main areas of life
Career
Administration, management, senior government posts, your own business and politics. Broadly, wherever the final decision rests in your hands, that is where you do your best work.
Money
Money comes from your own initiative and your standing, not from inheritance. But protecting that standing also keeps your expenses high.
Love & marriage
You know how to look after the person you love. Only take care that looking after does not turn into control. With someone who respects you, you become the gentlest version of yourself. You need freedom in a relationship. Tie the knot too tight and you suffocate.
Health
The weak points are the eyes, heart, blood pressure and spine. Fatigue collects quietly under continuous work, and one day it surfaces all at once.

How the row number sees the column number. F = friend, E = enemy, N = neutral, ● = itself. Your root number's row is in bold.
Remedy · the Sun
Offering water in a copper vessel at sunrise on Sunday, and taking the blessing of a father figure, is favourable for this number.
Remedies are a matter of traditional belief; take them as counsel rather than instruction.
