Numerological Preparations: For the Number 1

Concept, report and photography: Jyoti Balani Food and location courtesy: Sigree, Pune, India Numerology, as we all know, is used to determine an individuals personality, strengths and talents, obstacles, inner needs, emotional reactions and ways of dealing with others. These days a lot of people use numerology to examine their life, take advantage of unexplored opportunities, or simply figure out where to go next. But few people are aware there is a connection between food and numerology as well. Every number has both good as well as bad qualities. People associated with a particular number are more likely to suffer from a sickness owing to the ill effects connected with their numbers; which is why numerologists recommend foods that help in curing that particular weakness. We consulted prominent numerologist Swetta Jumaani and she came up with a list of ingredients suitable to each number starting from number 1. These ingredients were then passed onto talented chefs from Pune to create 6 unique recipes using their creativity and imagination. Needless to say the results were amazing and are here for all to see and try out these recipes.

A Number 1 person can do well as a successful company promoter, preacher, orator, organiser, or in any career that gives a position of authority. They may also do well in advanced inventions, research, medicine, the occult, sciences, astrology, telepathy, photography, interior or dress designing, music, art or any concentrated study or line of work, where the mental aspect comes into play, and provided they are in a position of authority over others. They are so versatile that they can fit into almost any line they set their eyes on. This is their biggest strength, but ironically their major weakness too, as over-versatility can confuse them as to what they should actually follow.

LUCKY NUMBERS:

Their most important numbers and dates are one, twos, and sevens and all their series, such as the 1st, 2nd, 7th, 10th, 11th, 16th, 19th, 20th, 25th, 28th, and 29th. They should endeavor to attempt their plans on any of these dates and will find a strong magnetic attraction to persons born on the above dates. They should make an effort to use the above dates while fixing up important appointments. They should also try to live in homes whose total, or last digit, makes one of these numbers.

LUCKY COLOURS:

Their lucky colors are that of the sun, which are gold, brown, orange and yellow. A Number 1 person is likely to suffer from heart problems, weak eyes, high blood pressure, weak bones, colds, depression and exhaustion. They should include the following ingredients in their diet:- carrots, sprouts, black lentils, green leafy vegetables, mint, anaar (pomegranate), almonds, soya oil, raisins, saffron, cloves, nutmeg, bay leaves, oranges, lemons, dates, thyme, Honey, ginger, barley, salad, fish, chicken, sweet potato.

Number 1: The natural leader

People born on the 1st, 10th, 19th and 28th in any month are termed as Number 1 people, ruled by the planet sun. Leos are also ruled by the sun, though indirectly. The sun, a creative force, is so powerful that it gives light and life to the universe. It has such radiance that we can hardly see any other planet or star, when the sun is in its element. Like the sun, Number 1 people usually like to lead from the front, and do better in positions of authority over others. They would usually prefer to be their own masters, or at least would feel more comfortable when in commanding positions, where they do not have to be answerable to many. That is why they should avoid partnerships. Such persons are creative, strongly individual, inventive and positive. On the downside, they are stubborn and determined with their approach toward others. It comes naturally to them to dominate those around them, and therefore their best sphere in life is in positions of authority, responsibility and trust over others. They can never play second fiddle to anyone. Examples of some famous Number 1 people: Dhirubhai Ambani, Indira Gandhi, Rekha, Lata Mangeshkar, Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen, Dara Singh, Sunil Gavaskar, Hrithik Roshan, Ratan Tata. A Number 1 person is decidedly ambitious and hates any form of restraint. They always rise in whatever profession or occupation they choose and become heads of their department. Dhirubhai Ambani (December 28), Ratan Tata (December 28), Aishwarya Rai (November 1} {Rekha October 10).

Swetta Jumaani is from the famed Jumaani family, an ardent fan of her father, the eminent numerologist Bansilal M Jumaani, Swetta keenly studied this occult science of numerology under the competent guidance of her father who was a capable guru. Swetta Jumaani inaugurated her office in Pune on July 6, 2003. She created major ripples when her very first prediction on Aug 24 2003, regarding the effects of the planet Mars as it moves closer to the earth, rang true word by word. She can be contacted on www.jumaani.com.
