Compound number 24 · root number 6
Born on 24 August
Venus · a sense of beauty and the instinct to care
Compound number 24: The number of support. Cooperation arrives through love, through family and from the opposite sex, and much of your work gets done through relationships.
24 August: the reading for this birthday alone
People born on the 24th move forward on the strength of family and relationships. They get help from influential people, and fortune often opens after marriage. Responsible, affectionate and fond of making a home beautiful, they lose pace only if they lean too far towards comfort.
The Sun at birth: Leo · Magha. At your birth the Sun stood in its own sign, Leo, so there is something regal in your personality. Respect and recognition matter a great deal to you, and you are generous too. You are at ease on a stage or in front of a team; your test is not to hunger for praise.
The Sun sits in the first third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by The Sun, so self-respect and the instinct to lead grow stronger. The Sun in Magha gives a deep pull towards lineage, tradition and ancestors; the seat of honour draws you. Venus, the planet of your root number, and The Sun, 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 24 August, with the Sun in Leo: four areas of life
Career
You advance in family business, beauty, housing or work with influential people. Your place is in administration, politics, management, entertainment or wherever leadership is needed.
Money
Finances improve after marriage or with family support; do not overspend on comfort. Spending for status runs high; even with a good income, keep accounts.
Love and relationships
Home and relationships are your strength; keep good ties with your partner's family too. Generous and warm in love, you expect admiration and respect from your partner.
Health
Sweets and comfort put on weight; stay active. Look after the heart, spine and eyes; avoid overexertion.
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.
Rahu: Outside, you are hardworking and reliable. Give you a task and it gets done, even if the method is not one anybody recognises.
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.
enemy Inside versus outside: There is a pull between the inside and the outside. You are not quite the person others see. Reconciling the two is the larger lesson of your life.
Born in August: how it marks your life
neutral Your birth month and root number are neutral to each other. How the events below turn out depends largely on your own effort and your own decisions. This month's central theme is work, money and the weight of duty.
- Childhood & family
- Financial strain or the pressure of responsibility in childhood, which makes you realistic at a very young age.
- Career turning point
- The turn comes slowly, usually through a major promotion or acquisition of property after long effort.
- Love & marriage
- A strong sense of duty in relationships, but little expression. With a patient partner the household is happy.
- Places & travel
- Your life becomes tied to land, a house, or immovable property.
