29 February: 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: Aquarius · Shatabhisha. At your birth the Sun stood in Aquarius. You think a little differently and look for solutions off the usual road. Your circle of friends is wide and social causes interest you. You keep some distance in showing feelings, which those close to you sometimes misread.
The Sun sits in the middle third of the sign, a portion (drekkana) ruled by Mercury, so quick wit, a head for figures and a ready tongue are added. The Sun in Shatabhisha gives ability in healing, problem-solving and work with hidden matters. The Moon, the planet of your root number, and Saturn, lord of the Sun's sign at birth, do not get along well. Two different pulls work inside you; learn to manage that tension and it is what makes you versatile.
Born on 29 February, with the Sun in Aquarius: four areas of life
Career
You are special in art, service, psychology or work that reads people's feelings. You do well in technology, science, social work, NGOs or new kinds of ventures.
Money
Money goes on feelings; take big decisions when your mind is calm. Income arrives by unusual roads and chances come through friends; be careful about lending.
Love and relationships
Relationships have their ups and downs; patience and open talk strengthen the bond. You see your partner as a friend; your own space and freedom matter to you.
Health
Mind and sleep are sensitive; avoid late nights and worry. Mind the circulation, ankles and nerves.
The Sun’s sign and nakshatra are worked out from the day and month; for a birth close to the day the Sun changes sign, it can shift by a day from year to year. Check the full birth chart to be sure.
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.
