What these decans are read as
The first decan of Leo is read as Leo twice over, the Sun with the room to itself. People here tend to walk in as if they were expected. In love they are generous and want to hear it back, and at work they rise to any job that has their name on it.
The second decan of Leo is read as carrying a touch of Sagittarius and Jupiter. The warmth wants to travel. These Leos tend to teach without meaning to, to love big gestures and long trips with a partner, and to get restless once the applause turns into a routine.
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.
