29 December: the reading for this birthday alone
Born on the 29th means a life of deep feeling. They are dreamers who feel others' pain as their own. Relationships have their ups and downs, and that experience matures them. Their intuition is strong; a little care in choosing who to keep close keeps life far calmer.
The Sun at birth: Sagittarius · Purva Ashadha. At your birth the Sun stood in Sagittarius. Ideals, a sense of dharma and the ability to think on a large scale are in your nature. Travel, higher learning and the role of a teacher draw you. You speak plainly; just make sure that honesty does not wound.
The Sun sits in the middle third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by Mars, so courage, fire and the will to fight on are added. The Sun in Purva Ashadha gives strong confidence and a winning mindset; you do not know how to give in. The Moon, the planet of your root number, and Jupiter, lord of the Sun's sign at birth, are friends. So the qualities of your birthday and of your sign pull in the same direction; you are quick to find your path.

Health

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.
