People born on July 30 tend to be practical and down-to-earth individuals. They set ambitious material goals for themselves and love exploring all aspects of the physical world. Sensual and robust, they are often comfortable in their bodies, and their forceful, self-confident manner usually takes them to the top in their careers. Money and status, and all the privilege and pleasure they can bring, matter a great deal to them.
Although friends and family will often take second place to material goals, their relationships are conducted with steady equanimity and a concern for the physical and emotional well-being of friends and loved ones. They are fair and ethical in their dealings with others, and are almost always true to their word. They hate playing games of any kind and can be extremely generous with their material assets. In fact, one of the reasons they devote so much energy to increasing their earning power is that they enjoy being able to offer material support to those close to them.
Despite their morality, reliability and generosity, their target-orientated ambitions tend to exclude recognition of the importance of personal emotional and spiritual fulfillment. Unless they learn to cultivate an interest in their psychological growth, any victories they achieve in the material world will seem strangely hollow. Between the ages of twenty-three and fifty-three there is an emphasis in their lives on practicality and, given that they are already biased toward the material, it is crucial that they try to see beyond the material world they love so much. After the age of fifty-four there is a turning point which highlights their growing need for intimate relationships, creativity and harmony.
Above all, these extraordinarily robust individuals are motivated by a desire to achieve concrete progress in life, and they have all the determination and star quality they need to succeed. Their journey toward success, however, will be considerably happier and more rewarding if they can learn to appreciate and put a high value on the things in life that money can’t buy.
☆ On the dark side：Materialistic, mundane, repressed
☆ At your best：Generous, sensual, ambitious
Those born on July 30 make their presence felt in a very physical fashion indeed. Not only are they individuals of substance but they also have a sense of how material aspects of life operate. The solid, sturdy people born on this day dwell on the earthly plane, which is their dominion, and it may be hard to convince them that they should develop their spiritual side. Taken up with the here and now, with the energy of doing things, they do not specialize in introspection or philosophical detachment.
Most often, July 30 people express their thoughts and creativity in a very forceful and/or sensuous manner. Yet, in their later years, they are often more open to the consideration of metaphysical questions. One reason for this is that the subject of death is an extremely difficult one for July 30 people to handle. On the one hand they find it hard to believe in a total end to their existence, and on the other equally difficult to have faith in an immortal soul. An interest in religion and philosophy will often surface in them after their second Saturn return (around age fifty-six), opening up a whole new dimension in their lives. Until that time they will continue on their extremely pragmatic, earthbound course.
The subject of love may also be painful for those born on this day. Many July 30 people find it difficult to reconcile "pure" love with physical needs and desires and consequently seek unusual, odd and out-of-the-way expressions for their feelings. Their difficulty in finding a satisfying "normal" and straightforward love relationship may also awaken a powerful fantasy life, leading them into perilous situations. Some July 30 people unfortunately become resigned to the fact that true love is out of reach, an impossibility to achieve. Those that allow such an admission to color their general outlook with a cynical cast can become arrested in their personal development.
Physical activities of all kinds interest July 30 people. Even more delicate, less robust men and women born on this day generally display a marked interest in sports, the human body, beauty pageants and modeling, and all types of glorification of the human form. This interest can be highly aesthetic and artistic or merely common and vulgar.
July 30 people find it extremely difficult to deal with irrational fears and phobias, and can be bewildered by terrors which surface unexpectedly. They are often unequipped to cope with such anxieties unless they have previous mental or spiritual training to fall back on.
However, such irrational experiences can arouse their curiosity about what lies behind the objects of the apparent physical world around them. This can be just the impetus they need to develop an interest in spiritual matters. Challenge-oriented, they will want to overcome their fears and conquer their weaknesses, which can lead to real personal growth. Rather than feeling out of touch, which they hate more than anything, they may seek a deeper understanding of life.
Power Thought：Taking time to relax is my gift to myself and to my spirit，Heavenly bodies
Those born on the 30th day of the month are ruled by the number 3 (3+0=3), and by the planet Jupiter. Since those ruled by the number 3 often seek to rise to high positions in their sphere, July 30 people may well be driven toward financial and material success. Those ruled by the number 3 love their independence, and tend to be decisive. Jupiter lends an optimistic and expansive social outlook to July 30th people, strengthened with a vitality and courage derived from the Sun (Leo's ruler). Unfortunately, those born on this day may be unduly optimistic about their future and ill-equipped to handle or even recognize failure.
The 3rd card of the Major Arcana is The Empress, symbolizing creative intelligence. She is the perfect woman, the ultra-feminine, Mother Earth nurturer, who is our dreams made real, our hopes and aspirations embodied. This card carries the positive traits of charm, grace and unconditional love, and the negative aspects of vanity and affectation, as well as intolerance for imperfection.

You’re drawn to people born on November 23 to December 21：As long as you give each other plenty of space and loyalty this relationship can be dynamic and exciting.
People born on July 30 are often warm, sensual and entertaining, and they tend to have a very active social life. Once in a relationship they can be incredible loyal, dependable and supportive. They need to be careful, however, not to neglect their partner or make them feel that they come a distant second to money, status and material gain.
People born on this day are often very physically aware and, if they don’t excel at sports themselves, they will often be interested in it. They are likely to take regular exercise and to eat healthily and, as long as they make sure they don’t take things to extremes, their body-conscious lifestyle keeps their energy and spirits high. The biggest health risk for them isn’t a specific illness, although they can be prone to muscle problems, high fevers and sudden illnesses, but their tendency to neglect the importance of spiritual, emotional, mental, and intuitive realities in their lives. They need to understand that happiness and success can only be experienced when all aspects of their lives--their minds, bodies, hearts, and souls--are in balance. It would be extremely beneficial for them to find ways to regularly renew and strengthen these four key areas of their lives. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color green will encourage them to seek this balance.
Those born on July 30 usually show a preoccupation with their bodies; either they flaunt them or are self-conscious and try their best to cover up. Some of the physically repressed people born on this day may manifest hypochondriacal tendencies. As parents, July 30 people may put undue emphasis on the physical aspects of life, neglecting emotional, intuitive and mental qualities. In their interactions with their own age group, they may oddly enough suffer from repressed aggression, as if they are afraid that if they release negative feelings, they will lose control. Needless to say, regular exercise and varied forms of sensuous and sexual expression are important for July 30 people. Massage, Shiatsu, yoga, music, sculpture—all tactile forms of expression are suggested as hobbies. Overeating may prove to be a problem for July 30 people. Cravings for excess protein and sugar may be periodically indulged, but have to be kept under control.
The practical talents of these people, combined with their goal-orientated approach, make them well suited to careers in finance and commerce, as well as in the sporting arena. Their highly developed and inquisitive sensuality may also equip them for success in the arts as a painter, musician, writer, actor, or art collector. Other careers that might appeal include the catering and leisure industries.
The life path of people born on this day is to learn to open themselves up to emotional and spiritual experiences. Once they have learned to become more self-aware, their destiny is find ways to support and enrich the lives of others.
Try to see beyond the material world. Develop your mental faculties. Open yourself up to deeper emotional contact and new experiences that can change you. Cultivate an interest in metaphysical subjects
