When Sarah came to see me, she was 38, recently divorced, and afraid of starting over. Her main question was simple:

“Is this a time to rebuild my life, or should I just focus on surviving?”

Her core numbers were very clear:

• Life Path 1 - The leader, the pioneer, the one who is meant to stand on her own feet

• Expression (Destiny) 5 - Freedom, change, movement

• Soul Urge 9 - A big heart that needs meaning and contribution

• Personal Year 1 - The beginning of a new 9 year cycle

The pattern was obvious. She had ended a long cycle and entered a Personal Year 1 exactly when her life “fell apart.” From a numerology point of view, it had not fallen apart. It had reset.

I showed her how the 1 energy in her chart is not about being abandoned, but about learning to choose herself. We mapped the next 3 years, so she could see that this is a time to plant seeds, not to settle for “whatever comes.”

She left with a practical plan: one new professional step, one personal step, and one self care commitment for this year. A few months later she wrote to me that she had started a course, opened a small side project, and most importantly, stopped apologising for existing.
