Pinnacle number 1

Pinnacle 1 as a life period

A period of independence: standing on your own, starting things and building confidence.

Traditionally the number of beginnings. One is linked with drive and the wish to act on your own terms; the shadow side is impatience or going it alone when help is on offer.

Relationships and work in a 1 pinnacle

• Relationships often involve learning to be yourself within them.
• Work favours starting something of your own or taking the lead.

A 1 pinnacle often coincides with a time of standing on your own feet: leaving home, starting a career or setting up something of your own. It rewards initiative and can feel lonely; the growth comes from trusting your own decisions.

How a pinnacle 1 arises

Hans Decoz's four Pinnacles add parts of the birth date: the first is month + day, the second day + year, the third the first two added, the fourth month + year. Master numbers are kept. A 1 comes from combinations such as 1 + 9, 2 + 8, 3 + 7, 4 + 6, 5 + 5, 6 + 4.

For example, a first pinnacle of 1 belongs to anyone born on 9 January, 27 January, 5 May, 14 May.

How common it is

Of all dates from 1940 to 2019, 10.7% give a first pinnacle of 1.

When it happens

The first pinnacle runs from birth to 36 minus your Life Path (a master Life Path reduced first); the second and third last nine years each; the fourth runs for the rest of life. The same number can appear in more than one period.
