Birth Day Number 1

If you were born on the 1st of the month, your birth day number is 1. As a single-digit birth day, your 1 energy is pure and undiluted — a clear, forceful expression of independence and leadership. At its core this is the energy of a drive to lead, originate, and stand on your own two feet. Unlike your life path number — which sums your entire date of birth — your birth day number is one specific talent you were born carrying, a gift that colors how you show up in everyday life.

How to find your birth day number
