AT YOUR BEST: Clear, realistic, principled, hard-working, reforming, fair.
AT YOUR WORST: Judgmental, rigid, resentful, scared of anger, burdened by guilt.
Early in the One’s development, several impulses were declared unacceptable by those who cared for you.
Good boys and girls did not say ‘I want’, they did not say ‘I need’, and they certainly did not say ‘I am angry’.
These young and innocent impulses were forced underground, where they transmuted into guilt, self-condemnation, unexpressed fury and a spirit of fierce judgment.
Your inner critic constantly finds fault in the outside world - and also in yourself.
But what happiness awaits as you begin to appreciate how well things are - both outside and within.
You can stop raging restlessly for perfection, because perfection is all around.
For Ones, the path to healing is to love and accept both the world and yourself as they are.
Free from self-condemnation, you do not need to condemn others. You can treat people with a lighter and more tender touch.
Your heart point is Number Seven, with its gift of inspired optimism. Freed from negativity, each new day becomes an adventure and self-loathing melts away.
AT YOUR BEST: Generous, compassionate, a natural helper, brilliant at connecting with others.
AT YOUR WORST: Manipulative, smothering, a flatterer, resentful if neglected, proud.
Somewhere deep in the Two’s past, you did not get your own way.
The ghost of that perceived humiliation haunts you - and tells you never to let it happen again.
‘Always get your own way,’ it says. But that’s not the voice you hear.
Pride’s clever twist is to place in your mind the thought that you do not act for yourself.
You get your own way - and yet imagine it’s all for others. Caring for them allows you to bend them to your will and render them dependent admirers.
But what happiness awaits you as you discover your own self-worth - a worth that doesn’t need to be bestowed by others.
You can let them go free - for you are free.
For Twos, the path to healing is to realise that life will bring you all you need without needing to be forced by your will.
When you accept your own lovability, you no longer need the admiration of others.
Your heart point is Number Four, with its gift of authenticity and contented individuality.
Trusting in life, resentment and the need to be needed will melt away.
AT YOUR BEST: Confident, practical, energetic, high-achieving.
AT YOUR WORST: Fearful of failure, self-promoting, calculating, self-deceiving, fixated with activity.
In the Three’s early years, the voice of vanity encouraged you to believe that you could, and should, act independently of everyone else.
Doing replaced feeling in your life as you strove to push ahead, succeed, deliver and achieve.
And you did deliver - but you were never a satisfied soul. You gave up an authentic inner life, and replaced it with a glittering conceit of a successful and desirable you.
Fears of failure and inadequacy were pushed underground, and to keep them there, you learned how to lie - to others and to yourself.
But what happiness awaits you as you join the world in solidarity and allow to the surface the fears and uncertainties forbidden to you as a child.
The gentle music of honesty starts to play, and you find you are not destroyed but freed!
For Threes, the path to healing is trust - trust in life and a harmonious universe.
The world is kinder and more open than you imagined, You need not be a separate striver here - but join in with others and discover how much you care for them.
Your heart point is Number Six, with its gift of loyal interaction with others. Trusting in interdependence, your need for the numbing distraction of activity and individual ‘success’ will melt away.
AT YOUR BEST: Sensitive, creative, charming, original, authentic, contented.
AT YOUR WORST: Melancholy, negative, envious, pushing-away, self-pitying, controlling.
Long ago, Fours felt that you were found wanting: that something in you was not right.
It is as though you were evicted from paradise, with no explanatory word.
In the face of your perceived deficiency, you created an idealised image of yourself: separate, special.
You fell into the habit of melancholy and self-absorption. You became a bit of a drama queen - and emotionally violent to anyone who threatens the self-image you’ve created.
But what happiness awaits you as those old feelings of abandonment and deficiency dissolve in a new understanding of your sweet origins.
You come from, and are connected to, a source much more fundamental than mother and father.
For Fours, the path to healing is true feeling - joy, and sorrow, authentically experienced without self-indulgence.
You discover calm amid the drama of your emotions. You open up to the world and discover the specialness of common reality.
Your heart point is Number One, with its gift of clear-sighted realism. Rediscovering your own wholeness, proud self-separation will melt away.
AT YOUR BEST: Thoughtful, concise, calm, gentle, observant, reflective, wise.
AT YOUR WORST: Secretive, detached, superior, cold, obsessed with knowledge.
Early in the Five’s life, you found safety by retreating into isolation. Reality was overpowering, so you withdrew and watched from afar.
As time went on, isolation from others became isolation from your own feelings.
To protect yourself further, you became a bit of hoarder. Knowledge was power, so you accumulated all you could and stored it away. Perhaps it was the same with money.
Time with others was also to be shared out sparingly.
But what happiness awaits you as you discover that all is one, and that separation is impossible in such a connected universe.
You find the strength you lacked, and realise you can lower your defences without being overwhelmed.
For Fives, the path to healing is connecting with the adventure of life.
Acknowledging your own deep need for emotional contact, your borders dissolve and allow you to merge with a bigger and wiser whole.
Instead of being swamped, you feel your own worth as never before.
Your heart point is Number Eight, with its gift of instinctive direct action. Letting go of fear, cautious disconnection melts away.
AT YOUR BEST: Loyal, hospitable, responsible, vigilant, a defender of the underdog.
AT YOUR WORST: Fearful, suspicious, unforgiving, indecisive, desperate for external authority.
Something in the Six’s wounded childhood whispered a relentless cynicism into your soul.
No one could be trusted. Nor could you trust yourself.
Yet you longed for security - and unable to imagine authority in yourself, you sought out beliefs, social norms or external authority figures in which to submerge your fears.
The result? Desperate commitment followed by wild ambivalence and repeated disillusionment. A world full of heroes and villains.
But what happiness awaits you as you discover that real engagement is not with others, but with yourself.
No longer do you look beyond yourself for authority; instead you trust your own truth.
Your heart point is Number Nine, with its gift of unifying serenity. Confident in your own goodness and identity, cynicism and suspicion melt away.
AT YOUR BEST: Charming, enthusiastic, optimistic, playful, entertaining, adventurer.
AT YOUR WORST: Unrealistic, greedy, sarcastic, desperate for admiration, always chasing distraction.
There is a pain in the Seven’s past that has always seemed impossible to face.
You seize at experiences - food, travel, whatever - desperate for good things to distract you from this pain.
You seek fresh possibilities and never-ending options, trying to plan a good future. These flighty dreams have no grounding in reality, but you fear being trapped.
When they collapse, you respond with anger and blame.
But what happiness awaits you as you discover the simple gift of living in the present.
The future, freed from your anxious plans, can be allowed to unfold and evolve in a climate of wonderful trust.
Balance replaces gluttony - you do not need to grab at everything. All things come in their own time.
Your heart point is Number Five, with its gift of reflective calm. Rooted in reality and present delight, you feel your pain melt away.
AT YOUR BEST: Strong, compassionate, commanding, visionary, just.
AT YOUR WORST: Vengeful, brooding, dominating, grandiose, destructive.
Early on in the life of the Eight, you decided life was a war. It was you against the rest.
You would need to dominate, or you would be crushed.
Weakness was something to avoid at all costs. So was intimacy.
You had powerful feelings of guilt and self-blame but you jettisoned those, too, and projected them onto your enemies. They were to blame for the wrongs of the world - and you would punish them.
But what happiness awaits you as you discover the essential unity of existence. It’s not you against the rest - we’re all on the same side.
The battle is over and mistaken desires for vengeance can be discarded: you can allow people to be people, not enemies or fools.
Your heart point is Number Two, with its gift of engaging compassion. With your strength turned to the cause of gentleness, brooding vindictiveness melts away.
AT YOUR BEST: Serene, calm, supportive, a natural mediator and unifier.
AT YOUR WORST: Unfocused, lazy, avoiding conflict, neglectful of own needs, bubbling with repressed anger.
During the Nine’s early life, love appeared to be conditional, something given on certain terms.’
Clearly,’ you thought, ‘I’m not good enough to receive this love.’ And rather than fight for it, you said goodbye to it.
Your solution was invisibility. You switched off your emotions, stopped asserting your needs, forgot your hopes and desires.
Self-forgetful lethargy became your friend. The anger you felt, you savagely repressed, in order to play the part of harmony and peace. It hasn’t gone away, though.
But what happiness awaits as you discover that love comes from within.
You imagined it as something supplied by others, on certain terms. But as you learn to love yourself, you realise that you have become loveable to the world.
True harmony with existence replaces phoney calm.
Your heart point is Number Three, with its gift of confident action. Discovering your own strength and worth, paralysis and trapped anger melt away.
