Compound number 12 · root number 3
Born on 12 December
Jupiter · knowledge and the gift of expression
Root number 3 belongs to Jupiter, teacher of the gods, so learning and teaching are both woven into your nature. What you know you cannot keep to yourself; it has to be told to someone.
Compound number 12: The number of sacrifice. You have to give up your own advantage for someone else, over and over, but that sacrifice is never wasted; the return comes, late but certain.
Your three-layer personality
the Sun: Inside, you are built for independence. From childhood, an order given in the wrong tone makes something in you refuse, and you find no peace unless the decision is your own.
the Moon: Outside, you are calm and adaptable. You step into the middle and settle a situation before the quarrel has properly started.
Root number 3 belongs to Jupiter, teacher of the gods, so learning and teaching are both woven into your nature. What you know you cannot keep to yourself; it has to be told to someone. That quality carries you into the place of a teacher, an adviser or a guide, and even without the title people come to you for counsel. The danger is a single one: interest spreads in too many directions and nothing reaches its end. It is the work you finish that gives you your name.
friend Inside versus outside: The inner mind and the outward behaviour support each other. You do what you think, which is why people trust you easily.

- Career turning point
- The turn comes through a sacrifice that looks like a loss at the time and proves to be a gain later.

The main areas of life
Career
Teaching, law, publishing, consultancy, religion and philosophy, media, marketing and any work on a stage. Your second layer, 2 (the Moon), adds: Teaching, care work, nursing, psychology, public relations, accounts and any kind of partnership business. Work connected with water also suits this number.
Money
Money arrives from several sources, but your hand is generous. You spend freely on giving and on hospitality, and you have never once counted that as a loss.
Love & marriage
In a relationship you value the friendship most. You feel drawn to the person you can talk to without guarding your words. You give more than you get. Life becomes beautiful with the person who understands that.
Health
Liver, weight and blood sugar. Moderation at the table and at other people's tables is your main prescription. Also, through the Moon: Mind and stomach are both weak points, and they travel together. When worry rises your sleep shortens, and digestive trouble starts right behind it.
