What the third decan of Taurus is read as
The third decan of Taurus is read as carrying a touch of Capricorn and Saturn. It is the Taurus who builds for the long run. People here tend to be slow to commit and very hard to shake afterwards, to read love as something proved by staying, and to measure work by what is still standing in ten years.
What the number 8 adds
Numerology reads a birthday that comes to 8 as the mark of an organiser. It tends to mean a head for how things run, a wish to be in charge of your own work, and a respect for people who keep their word.
