Compound number 22 · root number 4
Born on 22 September
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 September: 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: 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. Rahu, 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 22 September, with the Sun in Virgo: four areas of life
Career
You are best in construction, planning, founding institutions or large projects. You are exacting in accounting, medicine, pharmacy, research, editing or IT.
Money
Large sums pass through your hands; check for yourself instead of trusting others' word. Careful with money and never wasteful, though worry can make you miss chances.
Love and relationships
Steady and protective in love; notice your partner's small wishes too. You show love in deeds rather than words; small acts of care reveal your heart.
Health
Work pressure cuts your sleep; plan rest as you plan big projects. 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.
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.
