Your discipline and persistence can move mountains, though you sometimes forget to enjoy the view along the way.
Lucky Attributes
Mulank 8: Born on the 17th
Mulank 8 is ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline, patience and lasting reward. Those born on the 8th, 17th or 26th tend to be serious, responsible and persistent, and often achieve more in the second half of life than the first. The key for this number is patience, because Saturn rewards steady effort and tends to delay results that are rushed.
