Multi-talented strategist
The emotional power suggested by your birthday endows you with a dynamic personality and shows you to be a charismatic, kind, and generous person with natural leadership ability. With your strong ambitions, courage, sensitivity, and quick responses, you have the potential for outstanding achievement.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Leo, suggests that people are drawn to the confident and assured image you display. Although you are hardworking, a busy social life can also figure high on your list of priorities. Just ensure that it does not override the self-discipline required in order to make the most of your many wonderful talents.
Usually worldly and cultured, you like to be surrounded by quality and luxury and have an appreciation for beauty. If inspired, you may need to express yourself in a creative way and seek recognition through the worlds of theater, art, music, and entertainment. Gregarious and fun-loving, you can also be a diplomat when it is in your own interest.
Although usually a strong, proud, and dignified individual, you can at times be surprisingly modest. You may nevertheless need to overcome a tendency to be impatient or domineering that can stem from fixed and controlled emotions. As you like to think big or be excessive, guard against overdoing it either at work or at play, which could eventually put a strain on your health. Success can be achieved through your potential for hard work, strategy, and planning.
From childhood you are likely to be interested in social activities and developing your leadership abilities by being at the center of things. From the age of twenty-five onward, when your progressed Sun moves into Virgo, you will become more discriminating, practical, and thoughtful with your time and energy. You may look for ways to operate more efficiently, particularly in your working environment. When you reach the age of fifty-five your progressed Sun enters Libra for a thirty-year period. This is likely to emphasize your relationships as well as bring more harmony and balance into your life. This may also highlight a possible interest in writing, art, music, or healing.

Although your Sun’s degree is not linked to a fixed star; some of your other planets’ degrees certainly will be. By having an astrological chart calculated, you can find the exact position of the planets on your date of birth. This will tell you which of the fixed stars listed in this book are relevant to you.
Despite the fact that you ooze charm, wit, and creativity, and have the ability to entertain others, at times you may get overly serious or selfish, feeling that your efforts are not being appreciated. At these times you may be prone to becoming argumentative or self-indulgent. Channel these frustrations into being generous and detached in order to show your true humanitarian and compassionate nature. This ensures your popularity and gains you the recognition that you need.
Very intuitive, with a good sense of humor, you also need recognition from those you love. As you do not like to be alone, you may compromise for peace, home, and family. Watch that your love of sensuality and comfort does not deter you from the dynamic expression of your great potential.
With your natural dramatic sense and ability to lead, you can excel in the theater as an actor or director. Independent, with leadership ability, you will naturally rise to positions of power or may prefer to work for yourself. Multitalented, you also possess the ability to commercialize any of your talents, and you have the fortunate ability to make useful contacts. Possessing charm and advanced social skills, you are likely to succeed in any people-related activity. Your expertise with communication can be used in writing, lecturing, publishing, or sales. Combined with your confident front and competitive character, you can also be successful at business if you put in the necessary self-discipline. On the other hand, your humanitarian inclinations may direct you toward a career in social reform, health, and charity work. This birthdate can also indicate a gift for music.
Famous people born on your birthday are former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, children’s writer Beatrix Potter, artist Marcel Duchamp, and musician Mike Bloomfield.
A powerful entity and results-oriented force, all about initiating action and getting things done. Independent and idealistic, with determination and a pragmatic approach, you are often a law unto yourself. Like a number 1 individual, you are ambitious, direct, and enterprising. An inner conflict between wanting to be independent and wanting to be part of a team is also indicated. Always ready for action and new ventures, you courageously take on life’s challenges, and with your enthusiasm you can easily inspire others, if not to join you, then at least to support you in your latest venture. As a number 28 birthday, you have leadership abilities and rely on your common sense, logic, and clear thinking. Often you take on responsibilities, but you can also be overly enthusiastic, impatient, or intolerant. The subinfluence of the number 7 month indicates that you may need to learn to trust your inner feelings in order to overcome issues concerning power and the material world. If doubtful and mistrusting, you may miss the opportunity to share your creative gifts with others.
• Positive:compassion, progressive, daring, artistic, creative, idealistic, ambitious, hardworking, stable home life, strong-willed
• Negative:daydreamer, unmotivated, lack of compassion, unrealistic, bossy, lack of judgment, aggressive, lack of confidence, too dependent on others, pride
Because of your romantic nature and generosity, people are easily drawn to your charismatic personality. Although nothing is too good for the ones you love, beware of becoming too domineering or overbearing. With your passionate temperament, you may experience strong attractions and even love at first sight. In order to achieve your desired goals, however, there must be a balance between your need for independence and-the necessity for cooperation in love and work.

The personalities of July 28 people are defined by their competitiveness, a burning compulsion that may be manifested as either a personal or a professional ambition and that instills in them the urge to “win” at all costs. This dominating characteristic can be the result of a variety of causes, including these people’s unwavering self-belief and concomitant wish to convince others of the veracity of their convictions. They also relish testing themselves against demanding challenges and like to enjoy the material rewards of success, including basking in the recognition and acclaim of others. And, when working toward their goal, those born on this day draw upon their considerable resources and talents, includ- ing their enormous physical and intellectual energy, their ability to formulate a formidable organizational and technical framework to support their driving quest, and, most significantly, their determined refusal to be deflected from their aims or to concede defeat. These people are thus admirably equipped for professions in which confrontational tactics play an important part, such as politics, the military and commercial enter- prises, and also the sporting and artistic spheres.
Many July 28 people believe that the admiration their achievements arouse will be sufficient to provide the affection they crave from other people. However, this will rarely be the case, for their single-minded and combative approach is more likely to alienate those whom they are seeking to impress, who may perceive them as being selfishly lacking in consideration for the sensibilities of others. Thus, although they are genuinely emotionally attached to their nearest and dearest, they should realize that they may be regarded more ambiva- lently by the objects of their affection.
