Compound number 25 · root number 7
Born on 25 November
Ketu · the ability to see to the bottom of things
Compound number 25: The number of experience. Learning by being cheated is the rule of this number; the mistakes of your early life are what make you shrewd later.
25 November: the reading for this birthday alone
Born on the 25th means learning from experience. They are observant and quiet, yet nothing escapes them. The first part of life brings a few tests that give them depth. They accept nothing without checking, and that caution saves them from a good many dangers.
The Sun at birth: Scorpio · Anuradha. At your birth the Sun stood in Scorpio. There is a determination and a depth in you that are not easy to see from outside. You are adept at mysteries, research and handling a crisis. You take time to trust, and once hurt you do not easily forget.
The Sun sits in the first third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by Mars, so courage, fire and the will to fight on are added. The Sun in Anuradha gives strength in friendship and organisation; even far from home you find your people. Ketu, the planet of your root number, and Mars, lord of the Sun's sign at birth, are neutral to each other. Which side grows stronger depends largely on your own choices.
Born on 25 November, with the Sun in Scorpio: four areas of life
Career
Your accuracy is valued in verification, research, law or experience-based work. No one matches you in research, investigation, medicine, insurance, minerals or crisis work.
Money
Cautious investment pays; do not put money on hearsay. Gains through hidden savings and inheritance are indicated; be careful with risky investments.
Love and relationships
You warm up slowly, but once you do you build deep bonds. Deep and devoted in love, though suspicion and possessiveness can strain a relationship.
Health
Overthinking and loneliness strain the body; spend time in nature. Take care of the reproductive and urinary systems and of sudden illness.
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.
Mercury: Outside, you are quick and sociable. Put you somewhere unfamiliar and you adjust within a short time.
Root number 7 belongs to Ketu, who governs release. Your mind does not stay caught in outward glitter for long; it is the inner questions that pull you. You are never satisfied with the surface of a subject, and until you have seen what lies underneath you have no rest. That quality carries you into research, analysis or a contemplative life. But the same quality applied to a relationship turns into suspicion, and the people close to you draw away. Learning to trust is the real discipline of this number.
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.

Remedy · Ketu
Sitting in silence for a while each day, and giving a blanket or cloth where you can, eases Ketu's restlessness.
Remedies are a matter of traditional belief; take them as counsel rather than instruction.
