Compound number 15 · root number 6
Born on 15 August
Venus · a sense of beauty and the instinct to care
Compound number 15: The number of attraction. You have a natural power to draw people to you, and with words alone you can open doors that are shut to others.
15 August: the reading for this birthday alone
People are simply drawn to those born on the 15th. Sweetness in speech, charm in manner, and a heart that will not turn anyone away in trouble. They succeed in art, music or work with people. Resist the temptation to use that charm for their own gain, and the respect lasts.
The Sun at birth: Cancer · Ashlesha. At your birth the Sun stood in Cancer. Family and those close to you come first, and your mother's influence runs deep. The mind is sensitive and slow to forget old memories. The search for security is what draws you to savings and to home.
The Sun sits in the last third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by Jupiter, so knowledge, a sense of principle and the gift of teaching are added. The Sun in Ashlesha gives a sharp ability to read people; used for good, it brings respect. Venus, the planet of your root number, and The Moon, lord of the Sun's sign at birth, are neutral to each other. Which side grows stronger depends largely on your own choices.
Born on 15 August, with the Sun in Cancer: four areas of life
Career
In art, music, public relations or people work, your charm is your capital. You do well in service, medicine, food, education, housing or a family business.
Money
Income grows through gifts, connections and help from people; keep luxury spending in check. A saver by nature, you like keeping money in home and family security.
Love and relationships
People fall for you easily; faithfulness is what makes your relationships last. Caring and emotional in love, you want the same care in return.
Health
Mind the throat, kidneys and sweets; do not let love of comfort turn into laziness. Mind the stomach, digestion and chest; worry shows up in the body.
The Sun’s sign and nakshatra are worked out from the day and month; for a birth close to the day the Sun changes sign, it can shift by a day from year to year. Check the full birth chart to be sure.
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.
Mercury: Outside, you are quick and sociable. Put you somewhere unfamiliar and you adjust within a short time.
Root number 6 belongs to Venus, who governs beauty and pleasure. At the centre of your life there is always a relationship, a family, a home. You are the kind of person who swallows your own difficulty in order to see a smile on the face of someone you love. Art, music, cooking, decoration, anything beautiful draws you naturally, and your livelihood may well be hidden somewhere in that. One caution only: lean too far towards comfort and indulgence and your talent lies unused.
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.
