What these decans are read as

The first decan of Taurus is read as Taurus twice over, Venus at its most settled. People here tend to know what they like early and stay with it. In love they show up the same way every week, and at work they are the person who finishes what others got bored of.

The third decan of Aries is read as carrying a touch of Sagittarius and Jupiter. It is the Aries who wants a reason as well as a race. People here tend to start things because of what they could become, to love with a sense of adventure, and to lose interest when a plan stops growing.

What the number 2 adds

Numerology reads a birthday that comes to 2 as the mark of a go-between. It tends to mean a gift for noticing what the other person needs, and a dislike of deciding alone when someone you trust is nearby.
