What the third decan of Leo is read as
The third decan of Leo is read as carrying a touch of Aries and Mars. It is the Leo who would rather act than pose. People here tend to defend their own at once, to pursue openly in love and to choose work where they can win something and see that they did.
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.
