All about the Number One in The I Ching - Nine Star Ki - Astrology and DNA Codons

The characteristics of the number are reflective and reactive. Think babbling brooks and tsunamis, never underestimate the qualities of the number one and its ability to change in the blink of an eye. Where did that come from, a common phrase used around number ones. Not to mention yikes what did I say.  Water is one body the world over which is why it is vital we all play our part in keeping it pure. Water retains the memory of all that has gone before. This can apply to your personal life too as keeping a good reputation is very important to you, clean and pure please makes for a happy number one.  Water can be stored beneath the ground and is in the air that we breathe. Up and down actions denote water. The purity of the water we drink is connected to the Earth, porous sandstone for example purifies water as it runs down below ground in vertical rivulets. More solid sandstone and you are flooded by too much rain that cannot be absorbed. So too much or too little water can be problematic. Finding balance in your watery ways is vital. When water comes up against an obstacle in life it finds ways to get around it and little can hold it back when it decides to move. Sexual in nature water loves the closeness of being at one with another whilst on the other hand loves the serenity of being alone. It can be dark and secretive which can be attractive or standing alone determined to make themselves heard on an issue they hold dear. So changeable, lively and positive or gloomy and negative. Catch them on a good day and you will not be disappointed. Number one people often advance in life onward and upward to the fame and success of the number 9 but are not afraid to return to zero point and start again if things don’t work out. One energy sits opposite the number 9 energy and they work like a partnership of attraction to each other. They have patience so success comes through their own efforts. 1 and 9 make the perfect 10 but if they are balanced they will contain the energies of both and meet at 5 in the centre. One drop of water contains all the data that the oceans contain like a super conductor that can access all areas. One energy does not like to be pushed around or controlled by others as that can create an energy nobody wants to be around. Number ones will take the lead if required but are happy to put their ideas forward and see them activated by others. That said if you don’t cut the mustard they will ask you to step aside. They have a wide circle of friends because knowing all is one why wouldn’t you befriend everyone and learn something from them. They are not clingy with friends though and set you free to see them when and if you want to. Hence their friends are often from very different backgrounds and may not always see eye to eye hence number one’s are not party animals because bringing their friends together may not be that great a mix. You might meet a Prince or a Vagrant and everyone in between.  They try to get things done and finished. Full stop to that and move on to the next thing. They are very career minded, work is good for their health but beware becoming overconfident or letting ego set in, water has to be free running and not controlled so if your ego steps in and wants to be admired by the masses it will then find itself contained and it won't be long before it returns to working alone and getting the results they want rather than entertaining the masses. Sounds like a scientist in his/her lab making discoveries. Cancer is the feeling variation of water, Scorpio has the desire to make discoveries and Pisces believes everything is possible. All water signs that have their own modus operandi but at the end of the day they are all water. Of one mind and body.  So if they feel -  the desire -  to believe there is nothing they cannot do. Feng Shui is all about Wind over Water, flip those W’s and you have Mind over Matter, something the number one knows a lot about. If it is conceivable in the mind then anything is possible. If you are a number one person then do not let go to waste all that you are capable of. Bring something to the world of benefit for all mankind. It may have been conceived in your basement but then it comes out into the light and everyone will want to know more about you that's when you give the spotlight some of your time then return to a more monastic peaceful life. Yay for the peaceful Water and lets hold at arms length the more volatile version. Number one has no outer protective coating so yes it feels everything instantly. Sometimes thats a good thing and can keep them safe but if you are unbalanced water your reading of a situation may be unbalanced too and therein can lie problems. Feeling your way through life is not easy but it also has many rewards, what you feel you feel more intensely than others hence the strong desire to be alone is often overridden by the strong desire to connect with another human being when one becomes two which begets three. I am getting ahead of myself. From the feeling Cancerian to the desire to connect of the Scorpio must be met with the belief system of the Piscean so yes they are all water but different and combining all three is certainly something the number one will learn from. 

Number 1 year creates the aspect shapes for The Alternator (4)  Teachers (3) Ruminators (3) and finally The Lecturers (2). If you think about Lecturers, Teachers and Ruminators they are all about learning and stewing over things until the answer comes to them. The 1/1 I Ching crystal is most strongly connected to the number 1.  The 1/1 Crystal has 5 connections to number one with the 8/4 - 7/3 Crystal having 4 and finally the Double crystal has 3. The musical notes for the 1 year are C D# F F# G# B with the other missing six notes to be found  during a 9 year. Mercury represents the number 1 and it dominates with 14 markers, Venus has 4 so Mercury/Venus are the strongest planets. Saturn has 3, Jupiter 2 and Mars 1. The elements from DNA codon letters are 12 C Water - 12 T Fire - 6 A Earth and 6 G Air.This is energy that is strongest above the Earth. Lest you are born of fire and water you will not see the kingdom of Heaven so perhaps some heavenly energies can manifest through the number 1.  There are 4 Amino Acids Histidines - 4 Cysteines - 4 Arginine - 2 Tyrosine - 2. They have equal amounts of hydrophobic codons and hydrophilic codons although 2 of the phobics can be neutral if required. The aspect shapes are made up of degrees of a circle and within the number 1 we have 3 x 30* - 7 x 60* - 5 x 90* - 6 x 120* - 8 x 150* and 7 x 180*. The 150 degree quincunx aspect dominates in the patterns of the number 1 year which stirs the pot of the ruminator nicely and it helps with thinking. The second aspect is 180* so we are seeing some opposition here and add that to the 150* and you are almost there creating a Ruminator. 60 degree sextile (7) is joint second, maybe offering a little more peace and tranquillity or creativity to the mix. There are 6 x 120* Trines blue and 5 x red squares of 90* with 3 Semisextiles of 30*. So the shapes Alternator, Teachers, Lecturers and Ruminators can be found here.  Houses (1) I am - (4) I feel - (6) I analyse - (7) I balance - (9) I perceive and (12) I believe are the houses used in a 1 year the others empty houses are used during the partner 9 year. You can see a double ruminator (2) Alternators (2) Teachers (2) and Lecturers (2) so only 8 aspect shapes can be seen in the image as some lines are shared. 

DNA Codons for the 1 year are as follows…

CAC CAT CGC CGT TAC TAT TGC TGT CAT TGC TGT

Nov - Dec - Jan repeat with Feb - Mar - April.

Looking at the patterns Green dominates the centre but there are blue and red aspects too so much can be achieved here in the 1 year. Energy that does not get used can become more irritable and jumpy so make sure you use the energies that are most suited to you if you're a number one and don’t let that rumination go to waste. 

I have seen this double Ruminator in the TV show Ancient Aliens. I wonder what that might mean for the number one’s in our midst lol. 

Mercury is the planetary connection with the Number 1 …Mercury the planet of communication. Ruler of Gemini and Virgo.

1 - 2 and 1 - 8 Mercury Saturn (and 1 - 5)

1 - 4 and 1 - 3 Mercury Jupiter

1 - 7 and 1 - 6 Mercury Venus

1 - 9 Mercury Mars complementary opposites

1 - 1 Mercury Mercury a double dose of communications

1/1 Nine Star Ki CGC DNA Codon very strong in number one energy. All the number one year numbers connect to Mercury with the second month number having a variation on the theme of the number one. My own 1/7 is Mercury with a Venus connection a beautiful mind or I try for it to be, oh I wish I had studied Maths. Perhaps poetry would have been better or maybe its just the right combination for my own variety of nonsense. Mercury orbits the Sun every 88 days and travels through space faster than any other planet and is closest to the Sun. Mercury is all about learning, writing, communications, all things mental. The Imp is often associated with Mercury as it shows its sense of humour and mischievous side. Also a symbol for health and Hermes.  Genius can be present in the Mercury person if they have the mental aptitude to bring ideas forth. Great at public speaking, author, poet, actor anything that can consume the minds attention enough to create something special. Or healing energy. 

The Aspect Shapes in a 1 year

The Alternator... 180 x 60 x 120 

This aspect has a back and forward feeling to it, alternating energies, working, playing as long as you finish what you start before you fall back into play you will be able to achieve your goals. The corner where the two lines meet is the outlet for this energy which varies from codon to codon. Work hard and then rest is fine because you know how to generate the work and it must be done before you fall back into easy ways, thats the key to your success as is the outlet or house the blue corner points to. The alternator changes between two contrasting conditions, there is no happy medium here. Find that balance between the two. Only when your engine is running will you be recharging your battery, then you can take that energy and run with it, have fun with it, but you need to return to work and activity in order for those batteries to be recharged once more. Become to laid back and you wont have the energy to do anything. 

The Ruminator....180 x 150 x 30

This can be a volatile, emotional energy, creating increased stress and anxiety levels, agitation can be released through the house at the point were the two green lines meet. Learn to control the stressful situations in your life, take control, don't over think them. Once you get control over this active thinking energy you can bring about spells of originality and creativity and much can be achieved from it. Intelligence used intelligently. Risk takers can be found here who believe in their own abilities and will benefit from being able to absorb so much information which they can later put to good use. They will go on a journey taking them to the edge and beyond pushing back boundaries that previously existed, for example as an athlete breaking previous records, a scientist taking a step further into the outer field finding new plants growing the likes of which have never been seen before. You get the idea, you are going to the edge...feel the fear but take one step at a time, assess, reassess but please keep on going something new is about to be discovered.

The Lecturer...90 x 150 x 120

There are large lessons to be learned in life that come up for you time and again until learned. There is a karmic feel to them and they might seem like hard work but once the lesson sinks in the rewards will be great and definitely worthwhile. Think about what comes up for you time and again and learn to handle it differently. It may well still come up but your way of coping will make all the difference. Lessons of a higher nature perhaps spiritual or connected to law, philosophy, even your in laws. You have the ability to work, rest and play, think, act and manifest. There is much to be gained here if you listen to the lecture. A lesson with a teacher will be easier to learn because the Teacher is in control, in a Lecture the level of work you put in is down to you, you either win or fail. Your choice.

The Teacher... 90 x 150 x 60 

You specialise is something in particular. There is much learning to be done but you will enjoy the learning purely for the sake of learning. Not so much of a karmic feel to the Teacher as there is to the Lecturer. You can work, rest and play, think, act and manifest but not on such a grand scale but with more ease. Perhaps being a teacher is a natural progression for you. Learn something, teach someone else. Like second nature to you to pass things on. Learning with the Teacher is easier than the Lecturer because you have someone checking your progress, live and learn. 

Amino Acids in the 1 year…

 Histidine... hydrophilic …helps with tissue growth and repair, protects nerve endings, lowers blood pressure, protects the body from heavy metal toxicity. Absorbs zinc which helps toxin levels but reduces uptake of copper. Stimulates the digestive enzyme gastrin. Adrenaline is released during times of stress which can go on to cause ulcers. A histamine blocker is given to treat ulcers. Helps in the formation of myelin which surrounds and protects the nerve pathways. Low levels are found in people with rheumatoid arthritis, Potassium levels can affect R.A. Essential in childhood but less so in adulthood when we can produce requirements in the body. Low levels can cause hyper activity in nerve responses. A hissy fit perhaps. Helps store glucose in the liver. Fight or flight stress factors. Two Codons for Histidine. CAC and CAT. Connected through 4, 6, 9 and 12^th houses. CAC is making the Teacher. 

Arginine... hydrophilic … releases insulin, dietary deficiency can cause hair loss and skin problems. Good levels lowers blood pressure and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin, good for the immune system, for men it maintains sperm mobility and production giving good fertility, good for circulation and blood flow through the body particular the reproductive organs. Helps kidneys remove toxins, helps blood vessels relax improving blood flow to the heart, useful also in erectile dysfunction. There are 6 variations of Arginine, CGC, CGT, CGA, CGG, AGA and AGG. Houses 2^nd, 4^th , 7^th, 9^th, 10^th 11^th and 12^th. Four of them CGC, CGG AGA and AGG form The Lecturer, CGA The Worker, CGT The Teacher.

Tyrosine... hydrophobic... buildings blocks for neurotransmitters in the brain, helps nerve cells to communicate, can influence mood when stressed. A non essential amino acid because the body can make it from Phenylalanine. Building block for brain chemical neurotransmitters Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, dopamine, used to treat PKU, ADHD, narcolepsy, can be put onto skin to aid with wrinkle reduction, helps with withdrawals symptoms, appetite suppressant, erectile disfunction, PMS, chronic fatigue syndrome, there are two codons TAC and TAT. 1^st House 6^th, 9^th and 12^th.. TAC forming the Ruminator and TAT forming The Lecturer. 

Cysteine... hydrophobic .. looks after the liver, fights free radicals, cleansing helps break down mucus in the body. Used in the treatment of cystic fibrosis, lung problems, angina, overdoses of drugs/drink helps with liver function, free radicals can damage cell membranes and DNA, cysteine fights them off, helps fertility in women with polycystic ovaries, there are two codons TGC and TGT. House connections 1^st, 7^th, 9^th and 12^th. TGC forms the Ruminator and TGT forms the Alternator.

I Ching Hexagrams associated with the number one are…7, 4, 29, 59, 40, 64, 47 and 6.

Directions for the number 1 are SE/NW, W/E, Centred, SW/NE, E/W, NW/SE, NE/SW, S/N

All nine directions are available to the number 1 with its different month number. 

CAC - CAT - CGC - CGT all appear in the Water quadrant of the I Ching The Word map.

TAC - TAT - TGC - TGT all appear in the Fire quadrant of the I Ching The Word map. 

So if you have a number 1 Nine Star Ki year number there are many ways of looking after yourself. 

Colours for the number 1………a nice cream like the top of the milk used to me…….Indigo for the darker side of things…….
