Taurus Overview
Birthday Personality
Saturn's influence on the third decan of Taurus adds an ambitious, driven edge to your personality. You are the builder among Bulls patient enough to lay foundations that will stand for decades. Hard work does not intimidate you; in fact, you distrust anything that comes too easily. Your discipline and persistence can move mountains, though you sometimes forget to enjoy the view along the way.
Lucky Attributes
Mulank 3: Born on the 12th
Mulank 3 is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of wisdom, teaching and expansion. People born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th often carry an optimistic, expressive nature and an instinct to guide or advise others. Their challenge is focus, because the same curiosity that makes them good company can scatter their energy across too many plans at once.
