Compound number 28 · root number 1
Born on 28 December
the Sun · the strength to stand on your own
Compound number 28: The number of hesitation. There is a tendency for things to slip away at the last moment even when everything was in hand, which is why people with this number must be most careful about contracts and written documents.
28 December: the reading for this birthday alone
People born on the 28th know how to push ahead and lead, yet they can also work hand in hand with others. Life brings a big rise, though leaving matters to others sometimes brings a fall. Looking into legal and financial matters themselves before deciding makes their position secure.
The Sun at birth: Sagittarius · Mula. At your birth the Sun stood in Sagittarius. Ideals, a sense of dharma and the ability to think on a large scale are in your nature. Travel, higher learning and the role of a teacher draw you. You speak plainly; just make sure that honesty does not wound.
The Sun sits in the middle third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by Mars, so courage, fire and the will to fight on are added. The Sun in Mula makes you want to reach the very root of a subject; shallow knowledge does not satisfy you. The Sun, the planet of your root number, and Jupiter, 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 28 December, with the Sun in Sagittarius: four areas of life
Career
You succeed both as a leader and in a team; check legal matters and paperwork yourself. You advance in teaching, law, religious work, publishing, travel or anything connected with abroad.
Money
A big rise comes, but leaving money to others brings loss; look into it yourself. Fortune helps you, but big hopes can lead to overspending.
Love and relationships
You are happiest in a relationship of equal partners. You want freedom and honesty from a partner; you are happiest in a love built on friendship.
Health
Look after the eyes and heart; too much responsibility builds fatigue. Mind the liver, thighs and weight; avoid overeating.
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.
Saturn: Outside, you are steady and dependable. When a task falls to you, people know it will get done.
Root number 1 belongs to the Sun, and the Sun stands in nobody's shadow. Neither do you. Until you have built an identity of your own, in work, in business or within the family, you will not be satisfied. You decide quickly, and respect matters more to you than money. The one difficulty is that stubbornness sometimes outruns reason. Those born under this number show the same pattern again and again: the ones who learned to listen to the people close to them led for a long time, and the ones who never learned rose high and found themselves alone.
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.
