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 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.
