The dignified but warm individuals born on April 29 devote a considerable amount of their energy to the image they present to the world. With their impeccable manners and appreciation of the finer things in life they prefer the company of equally poised people, but they have the flexibility to alter their behavior according to the company they keep. This doesn’t mean they are insecure. Quite the contrary; they have a clear self-image. It’s just that the positive opinion of others, from whatever walk of life, matters greatly to them.
Friends and co-workers are unlikely to find them unprepared for any situation they are in. They will do their utmost to present themselves as posi tively as possible and to perform to the best of their ability. And because they are so reliable, they often find themselves in positions of responsibility. The downside of this is that constantly presenting a perfect, self-assured image can be exhausting, especially as they love nothing better than to occasionally relax and let their hair down.
It is vital for them to make sure they do find time to enjoy the lighter side of life as always being counted on by others may give them an exaggerated sense of self-importance. Fortunately, between the ages of twenty-two and fifty-two there are many opportunities for them to increase the tempo of their lives with new interests and new skills. Around the age of fifty-two they may concentrate on emotional security.
They tend to be givers rather than takers, always having an interest in and a kind word for others. There are times, however, when they might feel deeply insecure for no apparent reason; this is usually because they aren’t paying sufficient attention to their feelings. If they can learn to tap into their hidden creativity and get their sensitivity to the moods and feelings of others to work for, not against them, they will discover an unlimited resource for guidance, transformation and self-empowerment, and the key to unlocking outstanding potential for success in all aspects of their lives.
☆ On the dark side:Self-involved, proud, moody
☆ At your best:Dignified, meticulous, dependable
Those born on April 29 are extremely aware of the profile they maintain in the world.
It is as if they carry a mirror around with them which provides a reflection of how they appear to others. This of course means that when presenting themselves they can craft an image that works to their advantage.
April 29 people value their good opinion in the eyes of society, friends and family. This does not imply that they are insecure—usually they have a pretty clear idea of who they are and what they want out of any situation. Because their projective talents are so developed, they often succeed in getting the image that others have of them in line with the image they want to project. The word "often." however, does imply that they fail from time to time, a circumstance which causes them a good bit of discomfort.
Although they have highly dominant tendencies, it is less a desire to lead which customarily motivates April 29 people than a need to embody a certain position, ideal or stance from which they are more difficult to pry loose than their own shadow. Consequently, when they go through periods of change, it may be difficult for those around them to accept this "new" person, because of an absolute identification with the "old" person. Thus change of image is not only difficult for April 29 people to handle but for their friends and family as well. From time to time those born on this day can feel imprisoned in their own predictability and steadfastness, longing to break out in an impulsive or spontaneous act but somehow inhibited in their ability to do so.
April 29 people are very dependable and as such often find themselves in positions of responsibility. Indeed it can become a burden for them to always be counted on, especially when they would enjoy nothing more than being playful—perhaps even silly. It is during these lighter moments that they can relax their outer persona and really be themselves. Those friends and relatives with whom they share these good times are cherished greatly by April 29 people. Sometimes only one special person fulfills this need and the death or departure of this person is keenly felt.
Because of their interest in manifesting a personal image in the world. April 29 people generally show great interest in clothes, manner, tone of voice and posture. Those born on this day are very perceptive in reading and critiquing the image of others, also. The unusual April 29 person who wishes to convey an image of complete disregard for appearance may appear disheveled or wear shabby clothes, but will do so in a most deliberate manner. If an April 29 person desires wealth or fame, he/she will usually manifest the appearance of one so empowered; if private happiness supercedes ambition, the lifestyle and image chosen will be far less charged. In any case, those born on this day must avoid contradictory goals like the plague, since the risk of tearing the personality to pieces is real.
Power Thought:I listen attentively to the wise voice of intuition,Musical instruments are mirrors of reflection
Those born on the 29th day of the month are ruled by the number 2 (2+9=11, 1 + 1=2), and by the Moon. Since those ruled by the number 2 are often good co-workers and partners, rather than leaders, the projective qualities of April 29 people may be utilized in embodying the ideals of their family or work group. Such Number 2 influences may also act as a brake on individual initiative and action. This is underlined by the Moon having strongly reflective and passive tendencies, and by the added feminine influence of Venus (ruler of Taurus). The secondary number 11. (2+9=11) gives a grounding in the physical plane (along with the eanhy influence of Taurus) as well as an interest in double occurrences and mirror phenomena.
The 2nd card of the Major Arcana is The Priestess, shown seated on her throne, calm and impenetrable. She is a spiritual woman who reveals hidden forces and secrets, empowering us with that knowledge. Favorable qualities of this card are silence, intuition, reserve and discretion; negative values are secretiveness. mistrust, indifference and inertia. These last two items can signify a refusal of April 29 people to change.

As far as diet is concerned, they are likely to have a hearty appetite for traditional, earthy foods such as whole grains, stews, soups, and potatoes. They often have a sturdy constitution and shapely figure, not because they diet or exercise religiously, but because they believe in moderation in all things when it comes to their health and lifestyle. There may, however, have problems with their voice or their thyroid gland. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color purple will encourage them to connect with their intuition.

Thus, in today's health-conscious world they are likely to pursue the kind of moderate exercise and diet that will keep them fit. The condition of their voice (and therefore of their throat and vocal chords) is of particular importance to them. There may be a tendency to overindulge in grains (particularly bread), and a hankering after traditional earthy Taurus foods (such as meat stews, potatoes and gravy) could be moderated. Because of the sensitivity of Number 29 people to the Moon, hormonal imbalances should be observed carefully and treated if necessary.
