People born on August 29 are blessed with an incredible imagination that can take them to the pinnacle of success in their personal and professional life. Reluctant to be confined by the limits of convention, they prefer to analyze all existing information, reappraise it and then present their findings in a new and original manner. As such, they are the great improvisers and re-interpreters of the year.
Although they are wonderfully creative and artistic in their approach, they also thrive on routine and structure. A recurring theme for them is their attempt to impose control or structure upon every situation. As such they are not just positive thinkers but also positive doers; once they have set down their ambitious goals, they move toward implementing them with a self-discipline and practicality that inspire amazement in their friends and colleagues alike. Paradoxically, the one area of their lives where they find it hard to improvise or impose structure is their emotional life. Frequently, they will subordinate their private to their professional life, preferring to devote their energies to an environment in which they don’t feel so threatened. It would be beneficial for them, therefore, to reappraise their priorities.
From childhood they will probably have demonstrated their practical and analytical skills, impressing others with their ability to find their way around problems by thinking up new solutions. After the age of twenty-four there will be opportunities for them to focus on their relationships, and it is important for them to take advantage of these opportunities as their need for a fulfilling personal life is strong, however much they try to escape. There will also be an emphasis on creativity during these years.
Whatever age they are, if they can learn that sometimes the best solution to a problem is to stop trying so hard to solve or understand it and to simply trust, they will be able to present to others the fruits of their research in reinterpretations that are both innovative and inspiring.
☆ On the dark side：Withdrawn, impatient, lonely
☆ At your best：Innovative, structured, imaginative
Those born on August 29 hate chaos above all things and therefore seek to bring structure and clarity to their work. This is by no means to suggest however that they are rigid or dull. On the contrary—they are impelled to action, and in addition may have great fire in their belly, but somehow express themselves in an ordered and organized way.
Improvisation is a recurring theme in the lives of August 29 people. This means not only that they are rarely at a loss for what to do, but will find their way out of a problem situation by thinking up new solutions right on the spot. In this respect they are positive thinkers and doers, always searching for a more efficient, elegant or consistent function.
Yet those born on this day do not have a firm grip on their feelings; very emotional people, many can barely keep their private lives together. August 29 people typically make a strong effort to separate their public lives (often highly successful) and their private lives (usually tumultuous) but inevitably they lose control from time to time and allow emotions to spill over, causing them no end of trouble. One might think that August 29 people should just concentrate on their work, and let their private life go hang, but their need for family, friends and an affectionate mate is very strong. Not overly social people, they must be able to express their love in an intimate fashion toward those close to them. This is where the conflicts begin—they are often torn between their work on one hand and their need for a fulfilling private life on the other.
One big problem for those involved with or married to an August 29 person is that it is sometimes difficult to capture their attention. Indeed, many mates of August 29 people feel a sense of loneliness. For people wishing to reach those born on this day, direct emotional appeals may work best. August 29 people are very physical— usually their sex life is extremely important to them, as are all forms of physical expression. Because of their volatile emotions they make exciting partners, but rarely the most reliable ones.
August 29 people do not always stand up well under the tremendous strains of life. They are prone to seeking refuge in alcohol or drugs of various types. Others born on this day may retreat into bizarre habits and fantasies, or associate with strange people as a kind of outlet for their frustrations. Torn by public and private demands, some August 29 people can opt for this "third way," a non-solution which comes to play a larger and larger part in their lives.
Ultimately this course leads to tragedy and disintegration. However, if those born on this day manage their intense public and private lives, and deal with both their mutual and exclusive characteristics in a creative way, they will be successful human beings. Improvisation and adaptability is the key.
Power Thought：The more I trust and let go, the greater my possibilities，As has been said, "We have met the enemy—and he is us"
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 often make good co-workers and partners, rather than leaders, this quality will fit certain group-oriented values of August 29 people. However, it may also act as a brake on individual initiative and action, producing frustration. This may be further enhanced by the Moon having a strongly reflective and passive effect, and Mercury (Virgo's ruler) imparting a tendency to ruminate too much about things.
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.
☆Luck maker：(Let the pieces come together)When things don’t work out, relax and think of your life as a giant jigsaw. You may be desperate for luck, but nothing will make sense until all the pieces of your life come together.
You’re drawn to people born on June 21 to July 22：This is a classic case of opposites attract; you have so much to learn from and give each other.
Partners often have a hard time competing with the professional priorities of people born on August 29 and may accuse them of using their work as an excuse to avoid intimacy. This is unfair as they are not afraid of intimacy, just unsure how to cope with it. If they can find a partner who can gently encourage them to open up without fear of rejection, they make charming, enthusiastic and communicative lovers.
People born on this day place a high priority on work as a source of satisfaction, but it would be better to emphasise their personal lives as close relationships offer them greater potential for happiness. They will also find that close relationships make them more productive at work because they give them a sense of perspective. Study after study has also shown the health-boosting effects of intimacy. As far as diet is concerned, they should not try to deal with stress by comfort eating or taking recreational drugs or other addictive substances. Regular exercise is highly recommended as it will give their day the structure they love, especially if their personal life is chaotic. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color orange will encourage them to be more spontaneous in their interactions, and burning lavender essential oil will help lift their mood during times of stress.
Many August 29 people have sensitive nervous systems that make them prone to seek escape from stress through addictive substances. Sex and love addictions may also present a danger, for they provide emotional peace for a time but, of course, can lead to emotional disintegration. If those born on this day can apply their intellect toward making order out of chaos in their work and emotional life, they will be happy and prosperous. If not, watch out! Nothing annoys those born on this day more than a chaotic personal life, but it is all too often their fate. August 29 people must learn to accept their own lifestyle and go with the flow, rather than negatively critiquing or attempting to escape from their problems. A healthful, varied and delicious diet can be invaluable in maintaining a sense of well-being and stability, perhaps the most effective defense against potential addictions.
These people may devote their energies to a variety of fields but they thrive in technology, computing or design, where they can operate unhindered and impose a sense of structure. Other careers that might appeal include management, self-employment, the caring professions, education, law, science, writing, politics, manufacturing, music and entertainment.
The life path of people born on this day is to get time on their side by learning to let the pieces of their life come together. Once they are able to go with the flow, their destiny is to benefit others with their intellectual curiosity, wisdom, independence, and sense of style and structure.
Lighten up; get to know and like yourself. Go with the flow. Learn to make an easy transition from public to private life, and avoid making impossible demands on yourself. Take frequent vacations with those you love.
