What the second decan of Capricorn is read as
The second decan of Capricorn is read as carrying a touch of Taurus and Venus. The ambition learns to enjoy itself. These Capricorns tend to want the good things their work pays for, to show love through what they provide and to stay loyal to people who have earned it.
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.
