Compound number 24 · root number 6
Born on 24 August
Venus · a sense of beauty and the instinct to care
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.
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.
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.
The main areas of life
Career
Art, music, design, clothing and jewellery, beauty, the food business, medicine, hospitality and interiors. Your second layer, 4 (Rahu), adds: Technology, engineering, research, electricity and machinery, construction, transport, work with a foreign connection, and any unconventional profession.
Money
There is no particular obstacle to earning, but spending on beauty and comfort runs high. You do well in a joint family arrangement or a partnership business.
Love & marriage
Love is the largest chapter of your life. You know how to love, and without being loved in return you dry up inside. Expecting slightly too much is your weakness. A strong sense of duty in relationships, but little expression. With a patient partner the household is happy.
Health
Kidneys, bladder, throat and blood sugar. Restraint with sweets and rich food is essential for you. Also, through Rahu: Nerves, skin, knees and sleep. Feeling unwell for no traceable reason is a familiar complaint under this number.
