People born on July 29 tend to be energetic and positive individuals dedicated to fostering community awareness. Their ambitions are directed less toward achieving their own success and more toward benefiting the social group to which they belong, be this their family their local community, their work, their country or the world as a whole.
Within their own social group, these people tend to gravitate toward leadership positions and, because they are strong willed with clear-cut goals and the organizational talents to motivate others, they can be inspirational. Their willingness to nurture and assume responsibility for those around them--combined with the generosity, loyalty and pride they display toward those in their charge--generally earns them affection, respect and gratitude.
Although their dedication and commitment to the social group they belong to is nothing but admirable, their intense communal bias does not leave them much room for those closest to them, such as partners and family or for their own independent interests. This is ironic considering that many of these people like nothing better than to encourage self-reliance in others, even though this self-reliance does need to be within a framework of community awareness.
It’s important for them to make time for themselves and for their own psychological development, especially between the ages of twenty-four and fifty-four, during which their mental focus becomes more analytical and practical, and the desire to be of service to others takes center stage. These are the years when they are likely to make outstanding contributions to their community or even humanity as a whole, but they need to make sure they don’t regard their own personal needs and ambitions as less important than those of the community. This is because by demonstrating to others that their community supports their individuality rather than suppresses it, they can give their community the most powerful and liberating endorsement of all.
