What the first decan of Capricorn is read as
The first decan of Capricorn is read as Capricorn twice over, Saturn with a five-year plan. People here tend to be taken for older than they are. In love they are slow to say it and very steady once they have, and at work they keep climbing long after others stop.
What the number 5 adds
Numerology reads a birthday that comes to 5 as the mark of a free mover. It tends to mean a low tolerance for routine, a taste for change and travel, and a need for a partner who doesn't keep score of where you were.
