Your discipline and persistence can move mountains, though you sometimes forget to enjoy the view along the way.

Mulank 7: Born on the 16th
Mulank 7 is ruled by Ketu, which Indian numerology connects with intuition, research and spiritual depth. People born on the 7th, 16th or 25th are often thoughtful, private and drawn to questions that do not have easy answers. They thrive when they make time for reflection, and they benefit from sharing their insight rather than keeping it to themselves.
