29 July: 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: Cancer · Pushya. At your birth the Sun stood in Cancer. Family and those close to you come first, and your mother's influence runs deep. The mind is sensitive and slow to forget old memories. The search for security is what draws you to savings and to home.
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 Pushya, called the most nourishing of the nakshatras, makes protecting and raising others a joy to you. The planet of your root number and the lord of the Sun's sign are the same: The Moon. So this planet's qualities work in your life with double strength.
Born on 29 July, with the Sun in Cancer: four areas of life
Career
You are special in art, service, psychology or work that reads people's feelings. You do well in service, medicine, food, education, housing or a family business.
Money
Money goes on feelings; take big decisions when your mind is calm. A saver by nature, you like keeping money in home and family security.
Love and relationships
Relationships have their ups and downs; patience and open talk strengthen the bond. Caring and emotional in love, you want the same care in return.
Health
Mind and sleep are sensitive; avoid late nights and worry. Mind the stomach, digestion and chest; worry shows up in the body.
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.

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.
