Compound number 29 · root number 2
Born on 29 August
the Moon · the ability to read people
Root number 2 belongs to the Moon, who changes shape every fortnight. So does your mind: the decision you were firm about one week you are doubting the next.
Compound number 29: The number of trial. You have to pass through uncertainty and broken trust, but those who come through that road end up with remarkable strength of mind.
Your three-layer personality
the Moon: Inside, you are soft and easily touched. You read someone's state of mind from their face alone, and that is exactly why small remarks wound you more than they should.
Mars: Outside, you are hardworking and plain-spoken. The habit of saying the truth to someone's face has given you friends, and it has given you enemies too.
Root number 2 belongs to the Moon, who changes shape every fortnight. So does your mind: the decision you were firm about one week you are doubting the next. This is not weakness, it is the price of your sensitivity. You get things done through relationships rather than force, and that single quality will open a great many doors for you. But keep postponing your own needs to keep everyone else content, and the resentment collects inside.
enemy Inside versus outside: There is a pull between the inside and the outside. You are not quite the person others see. Reconciling the two is the larger lesson of your life.
Born in August: how it marks your life
enemy The strength of your birth month works against your root number. So the events below arrive through struggle and delay, though the delay itself is what makes the foundation solid. This month's central theme is work, money and the weight of duty.
- Childhood & family
- Financial strain or the pressure of responsibility in childhood, which makes you realistic at a very young age.
- Career turning point
- The turn comes slowly, usually through a major promotion or acquisition of property after long effort.
- Love & marriage
- A strong sense of duty in relationships, but little expression. With a patient partner the household is happy.
- Places & travel
- Your life becomes tied to land, a house, or immovable property.
The main areas of life
Career
Teaching, care work, nursing, psychology, public relations, accounts and any kind of partnership business. Work connected with water also suits this number. Your second layer, 9 (Mars), adds: Army and police, engineering, surgery, sport, land and construction, machinery, and any competitive profession.
Money
Income is slow but regular. You know how to save, though the savings get touched whenever someone you love asks.
Love & marriage
Relationships are the centre of your life. You can give up a great deal for the person you love, but without a little acknowledgement in return you quietly suffer. A strong sense of duty in relationships, but little expression. With a patient partner the household is happy.
Health
Mind and stomach are both weak points, and they travel together. When worry rises your sleep shortens, and digestive trouble starts right behind it. Also, through Mars: Blood, fever, injury and inflammation. Accidents are relatively more frequent under this number, so care with vehicles and sharp tools is lifelong.

Remedy · the Moon
Giving white cloth or rice on Monday, and caring for a mother figure, settles the restlessness of this number.
Remedies are a matter of traditional belief; take them as counsel rather than instruction.
