Compound number 23 · root number 5
Born on 23 November
Mercury · the speed to grasp a thing at once
Root number 5 belongs to Mercury, the messenger, so speaking, writing, reckoning and bargaining all come naturally to you. You can adapt yourself to any situation, and that flexibility has rescued you from trouble more than once.
Compound number 23: The royal star. Help from above and unexpected support come to people with this number repeatedly.
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.
Jupiter: Outside, you are cheerful and good with words. The atmosphere of a room changes when you walk into it, and people notice that.
Root number 5 belongs to Mercury, the messenger, so speaking, writing, reckoning and bargaining all come naturally to you. You can adapt yourself to any situation, and that flexibility has rescued you from trouble more than once. But Mercury will not let you sit still. The work that demands patient persistence is exactly where you stumble most. The large gains of your life will arrive when you finally choose one thing and stay with it.
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.
Born in November: how it marks your life
friend The strength of your birth month is a friend to your root number. So the events below arrive comparatively easily and on time, with family and the people around you supporting them. This month's central theme is insight and inspiration.
- Childhood & family
- A separate kind of awareness works from childhood, often one that nobody in the family quite understands.
- Career turning point
- The turn comes through the inspiration of one person, or through an insight that arrives all at once.
- Love & marriage
- Without a shared ideal you cannot survive in a relationship.
- Places & travel
- Life passes near a centre of education, research or spiritual practice.
The main areas of life
Career
Business and marketing, journalism, writing, accounts, technology, broking, import-export and travel. Your second layer, 3 (Jupiter), adds: Teaching, law, publishing, consultancy, religion and philosophy, media, marketing and any work on a stage.
Money
Money arrives fast and leaves fast. You have the ability to earn through several channels at once, but speculation and the promise of quick profit are dangerous for you.
Love & marriage
What you want in a relationship is freedom and some fun. Put a chain on you and you move away; give you room to breathe and you come back on your own. Without a shared ideal you cannot survive in a relationship.
Health
Nerves, skin and digestion. Irregular meals and too much worry show up in your body before anywhere else. Also, through Jupiter: Liver, weight and blood sugar. Moderation at the table and at other people's tables is your main prescription.
