You are a natural leader, independent and individualistic. You are extremely ambitious, original, and courageous. You employ new and unproven methods. You are an explorer and an innovator. Openness to too many peripheral influences limits and frustrates you. You are self-reliant, confident, and energetic. You easily assume the role of protector. You spring into action when leadership is needed.

You possess executive abilities and are most successful at owning or independently managing a business. You need the freedom to make your decisions, based on your ideas. You can be an astute politician. You also possess the ability to influence the opinions of your milieu.

The number 1 symbolizes the front-runner, pioneer, warrior, risk-taker, and daredevil. Generals, top politicians, successful businessmen, self-made millionaires, religious leaders, inventors, activists, and avant-garde artists are often born with a 1 Expression.

Strength and perseverance are central to your success. You must be willing to travel the frontiers of life, away from the beaten path. You possess a great reserve of willpower that must be directed at your goals. You do not give up, but relentlessly pursue your aims.

You are quite opinionated. People tend to be inspired or repelled by your strong personality. You have great powers of concentration and the ability to visualize your goals, thus making them more attainable. You stand up for your convictions and hold your ground. All of these abilities enhance your chances of success in life.

There is a tendency to be self-centered. You can be domineering and, in the extreme, a bully. You can be highly critical of others, complaining that people lack the industry or determination you possess. But this lack of understanding can alienate friends and family members from you. You must learn to control this tendency to maintain harmony in relationships. Once you are convinced of the inherent correctness of your ideas, you stubbornly -- and sometimes rigidly -- defend and propagate them. Avoid obstinacy and antagonism. You must cultivate balance, compassion, and perseverance.

Pride can be your downfall. You so powerfully identify with your goals and ambitions, you sometimes refuse to see a potential flaw or weakness in your well-laid plans.

You possess strength and determination, which, when applied to any endeavor you are committed to, will lead you to great success in life.
