What these decans are read as

The third decan of Pisces is read as carrying a touch of Scorpio and Pluto. It is the most intense Pisces. People here tend to go further into a feeling than others dare, to want a deep bond or none, and to have a stubborn streak that gentle manners hide very well.

The first decan of Aries is read as Aries twice over, Mars with nothing to soften it. People here tend to decide fast and apologise fast too. In love they say it first, and at work they would rather fix a wrong start than wait for a right one.

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.
