Compound number 20 · root number 2
Born on 20 September
the Moon · the ability to read people
Compound number 20: The number of awakening. A call comes midway through life, after which both your aim and the way you see things are different.
20 September: the reading for this birthday alone
Those born on the 20th listen closely, which is why so many people open their hearts to them. Midway through life a call arrives, an event or a person, after which their aim changes completely. They are indispensable in a team; strengthening their own power of decision will take them further.
The Sun at birth: Virgo · Uttara Phalguni. At your birth the Sun stood in Virgo. An eye for detail and the urge to do things perfectly are in your nature. You are skilled in accounts, health, service or analysis. You dwell on your own mistakes; watch also that pointing out other people's does not make you harsh.
The Sun sits in the first third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by Mercury, so quick wit, a head for figures and a ready tongue are added. The Sun in Uttara Phalguni means you keep your word; people can rely on you in agreements and relationships. The Moon, the planet of your root number, and Mercury, lord of the Sun's sign at birth, are friends. So the qualities of your birthday and of your sign pull in the same direction; you are quick to find your path.
Born on 20 September, with the Sun in Virgo: four areas of life
Career
You are indispensable in teamwork, counselling or professions that require listening. You are exacting in accounting, medicine, pharmacy, research, editing or IT.
Money
Income grows through work done with others; learn to make the decision yourself. Careful with money and never wasteful, though worry can make you miss chances.
Love and relationships
People draw close because you listen; share your own pain too. You show love in deeds rather than words; small acts of care reveal your heart.
Health
Emotional strain affects sleep and digestion; drink more water. Mind the intestines and digestion; regular eating habits solve a lot.
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 Moon: Inside, you are soft and easily touched. You read someone's state of mind from their face alone, and that is exactly why small remarks wound you more than they should.
Zero gives nothing of its own, but it multiplies the strength of whatever stands beside it. So the qualities and the faults of your first digit both show up in your life far more sharply than they otherwise would.
Root number 2 belongs to the Moon, who changes shape every fortnight. So does your mind: the decision you were firm about one week you are doubting the next. This is not weakness, it is the price of your sensitivity. You get things done through relationships rather than force, and that single quality will open a great many doors for you. But keep postponing your own needs to keep everyone else content, and the resentment collects inside.
zero Inside versus outside: Zero makes the strength of the first digit denser still. The same note sounds inside and outside, but at much greater intensity.
Born in September: how it marks your life
enemy The strength of your birth month works against your root number. So the events below arrive through struggle and delay, though the delay itself is what makes the foundation solid. This month's central theme is struggle and settlement.
- Childhood & family
- Competition in childhood, rivalry with siblings, or a tendency towards injury and accident.
- Career turning point
- The turn comes through a confrontation, a competition or a legal fight that goes your way.
- Love & marriage
- Feeling runs intense. Master the temper and this becomes the deepest relationship of your life.
- Places & travel
- Work takes you away; in many cases you settle in a distant city.

Remedy · the Moon
Giving white cloth or rice on Monday, and caring for a mother figure, settles the restlessness of this number.
Remedies are a matter of traditional belief; take them as counsel rather than instruction.
