Compound number 24 · root number 6
Born on 24 May
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 May: 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: Taurus · Krittika. At your birth the Sun stood in Taurus. It brings steadiness and patience; you dislike hurry, but once you take hold of something you do not let go. You understand the value of money and things, and you enjoy comfort.
The Sun sits in the first third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by Venus, so taste, artistic sense and sweetness in relationships are added. The Sun in Krittika puts an edge on your words and actions; you cannot stay silent when you see something wrong. The planet of your root number and the lord of the Sun's sign are the same: Venus. So this planet's qualities work in your life with double strength.
Born on 24 May, with the Sun in Taurus: four areas of life
Career
You advance in family business, beauty, housing or work with influential people. Steady success comes in banking, finance, agriculture, food, the arts or the beauty trade.
Money

Love and relationships
Home and relationships are your strength; keep good ties with your partner's family too. Faithful and steady in love, though you nurse a hurt for a long time.
Health
Sweets and comfort put on weight; stay active. Mind the throat, thyroid and weight; go easy on sweets.
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.
