Compound number 22 · root number 4
Born on 22 December
Rahu · the ability to think differently
Compound number 22: A master number, the builder's number. You have the capacity to build something large, and with that capacity comes an equal risk of going the wrong way with it.
22 December: the reading for this birthday alone
Those born on the 22nd dream big and have the ability to set those dreams in brick and stone. Planning, building, founding institutions: this is their work. But they sometimes miss their own mistakes and lose by trusting others too much; with eyes open, great things rise in their hands.
The Sun at birth: Sagittarius · Mula. At your birth the Sun stood in Sagittarius. Ideals, a sense of dharma and the ability to think on a large scale are in your nature. Travel, higher learning and the role of a teacher draw you. You speak plainly; just make sure that honesty does not wound.
The Sun sits in the first 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 Mula makes you want to reach the very root of a subject; shallow knowledge does not satisfy you. Rahu, the planet of your root number, and Jupiter, 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 22 December, with the Sun in Sagittarius: four areas of life
Career
You are best in construction, planning, founding institutions or large projects. You advance in teaching, law, religious work, publishing, travel or anything connected with abroad.
Money
Large sums pass through your hands; check for yourself instead of trusting others' word. Fortune helps you, but big hopes can lead to overspending.
Love and relationships
Steady and protective in love; notice your partner's small wishes too. You want freedom and honesty from a partner; you are happiest in a love built on friendship.
Health
Work pressure cuts your sleep; plan rest as you plan big projects. Mind the liver, thighs and weight; avoid overeating.
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.
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 4 belongs to Rahu, the shadow planet, whose nature is to avoid the easy route. Nothing in your life arrives in a straight line either. What another person reaches in ten years you may reach in fifteen, but what you reach, nobody can take from you. Those born under this number find, again and again, that a major upheaval arrives midway through life, and that the real progress begins only after it. Patience is your greatest asset and haste your greatest enemy.
same number Inside versus outside: The same number on both layers, so the nature is very concentrated. The strengths are emphatic and the weaknesses equally visible.

Remedy · Rahu
Giving a blanket or black sesame on Saturday, and feeding someone in need, quietens Rahu's restlessness.
Remedies are a matter of traditional belief; take them as counsel rather than instruction.
