What these decans are read as
The third decan of Sagittarius is read as carrying a touch of Leo and the Sun. It is the Sagittarius with a sense of occasion. People here tend to tell the story better than it happened, to love warmly and in public, and to want work that gets noticed as well as work that matters.
The second decan of Sagittarius is read as carrying a touch of Aries and Mars. The optimism gets impatient. These Sagittarians tend to act on a belief at once, to fall quickly and argue openly, and to prefer a bold mistake to a careful nothing.
What the number 3 adds
Numerology reads a birthday that comes to 3 as the mark of a talker and a maker. It tends to mean an easy way with words, a need to express what you feel, and some trouble finishing what stopped being fun.
