Compound number 27 · root number 9
Born on 27 April
Mars · courage and the will to fight
Compound number 27: The number of authority. You make your own place through intelligence and effort, though relying on someone else's counsel carries a risk of being misled.
27 April: the reading for this birthday alone
Those born on the 27th speak with an authority people accept. Deep in thought and firm in ideals, they can show others the way. They do well in teaching, writing, medicine or service. Persuading rather than imposing their view makes their influence grow further.
The Sun at birth: Aries · Ashwini. At your birth the Sun stood in Aries, where it is at its strongest (exalted). Confidence and the urge to move forward are plain in your nature. Leadership finds you; the only thing to manage is impatience.
The Sun sits in the middle third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by The Sun, so self-respect and the instinct to lead grow stronger. The Sun in Ashwini gives speed in work and a helping hand; in trouble you are the first to arrive. The planet of your root number and the lord of the Sun's sign are the same: Mars. So this planet's qualities work in your life with double strength.
Born on 27 April, with the Sun in Aries: four areas of life
Career
Teaching, medicine, writing or service bring you both authority and respect. Work where you can decide for yourself suits you: the army or police, engineering, sport or your own business.
Money
Income comes from knowledge and advice; you give generously, but keep savings of your own. Income comes from initiative and goes just as fast; keep an emergency fund.
Love and relationships
When ideals match, love runs deep; persuade rather than impose your view. In love you are direct and sincere, though words said in anger hurt later.
Health
You are prone to blood and fever troubles; do not ignore the body's signals. Watch the head, eyes and blood pressure; take care against injuries.
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.
Ketu: Outside, you seem serious and hard to read. People do not understand you easily, and you make no great effort to be understood.
Root number 9 belongs to Mars, the commander. A fight never quite leaves your life, and each one leaves you harder than before. You are the kind of person who holds a position even standing alone. In a crisis, at home or at work, everyone eventually turns to look at you. But Mars's fire cuts both ways, and the decisions you have taken in anger have cost you more than any outside enemy ever managed.
neutral Inside versus outside: The relation between inside and outside is neutral. You can show either face as the situation requires, and that flexibility is your advantage.
Born in April: how it marks your life
enemy The strength of your birth month works against your root number. So the events below arrive through struggle and delay, though the delay itself is what makes the foundation solid. This month's central theme is breaking rules and building a new system.
- Childhood & family
- There is unsettledness or frequent change in childhood, sometimes a change of home, sometimes strain within the family.
- Career turning point
- The turn in working life arrives abruptly, often through an outside decision or a change in technology.
- Love & marriage
- The relationship moves along an unconventional road. Family approval may take time.
- Places & travel
- Establishment far from your birthplace, including abroad, is strongly indicated.

Remedy · Mars
Giving red lentils or jaggery on Tuesday, and treating your brothers and sisters well, cools the sharpness of Mars.
Remedies are a matter of traditional belief; take them as counsel rather than instruction.
