Compound number 28 · root number 1
Born on 28 January
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 January: 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: Capricorn · Shravana. At your birth the Sun stood in Capricorn. Hard work, discipline and long-range planning are your strength; even when results come late, you know how to wait. You do not shy from responsibility. Only do not lose your own joy and family time under the weight of work.
The Sun sits in the middle third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by Venus, so taste, artistic sense and sweetness in relationships are added. The Sun in Shravana gives a remarkable ability to listen and learn; you remember knowledge and experience. The Sun, the planet of your root number, and Saturn, lord of the Sun's sign at birth, do not get along well. Two different pulls work inside you; learn to manage that tension and it is what makes you versatile.
Born on 28 January, with the Sun in Capricorn: four areas of life
Career
You succeed both as a leader and in a team; check legal matters and paperwork yourself. You rise step by step in government service, administration, construction, engineering or large institutions.
Money
A big rise comes, but leaving money to others brings loss; look into it yourself. Income grows slowly but lasts; long-term savings suit you best.
Love and relationships
You are happiest in a relationship of equal partners. Reserved in showing love, you leave no gap in fulfilling your duties.
Health
Look after the eyes and heart; too much responsibility builds fatigue. Look after the knees, bones and teeth; guard against cold and low moods.
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.
