Independent thinker
Charming, friendly, and intelligent, you tend to be a hardworking and perceptive individual. Compassionate and caring, you possess depth of feeling, yet you can also be shrewd, practical, and realistic. Persuasive, alert, and discerning, you have an interest in people that may manifest as a strong humanitarian streak or encourage you to fight for an idealistic cause.
With the added influence of your decanate ruler, Libra, the demonstration of love and affection is particularly important to you. Magnetism and refined social skills ensure that you enjoy putting others at ease and guarantee your success with people. A feel for beauty and the arts may find expression through music, painting, or drama as well as a desire to surround yourself with beauty, style, and luxury.
Financial matters are also likely to occupy much of your attention, and with your natural business sense and willingness to work hard, you have the potential to commercialize your many talents. Nevertheless, one of your challenges may be to obtain the right balance between work and play to ensure that life does not become overly serious or burdensome. You often work better when you allow your intuition to sense the right time for an idea or project and then act spontaneously rather than becoming restricted by too much structure.
Before the age of twenty-four, you are likely to be concerned with issues regarding money, creativity, and building harmony in your relationships. At the age of twenty-five, when your progressed Sun moves into Scorpio, you encounter a turning point that emphasizes a growing need for emotional change, personal power, and transformation in your life. This can cause you to become more decisive and committed. Another turning point occurs at the age of fifty-five, when your progressed Sun moves into Sagittarius. From this time you are likely to become more adventurous, freedom-loving, and philosophical, possibly desiring more inspiration through study or involvement with foreign people or places.

Emotionally generous with those you care for, you have the potential for powerful universal love and compassion. Being so sensitive, you need regular periods alone to reflect and connect to your deeper inspiration as well as short breaks away from your usual routine.
Occasionally you may take on other people’s problems and make them your responsibility, or experience a conflict between your sense of duty and your heart’s desire. This may cause you to become skeptical or withdrawn. By letting go and taking life as it comes, you learn to be more detached, trusting that life will spontaneously provide you with everything you need at the right time. Like everybody, you need love and approval, but these may have been previously withheld from you if you did not live up to other people’s expectations. The more you value yourself and your feelings, the less you compromise yourself to get the affection you need, and thus you develop your self-confidence.

As a humanitarian, you can be dedicated and hardworking. Seeking balance and harmony, you are fair and just, willing to fight for the underdog.

September 28 people are particularly susceptible to the potent influence of the planet of Venus that governs their day of birth, and, like the eponymous Roman goddess of love, many seek fulfillment through affairs of the heart, indulgence of the senses, or the pursuit of beauty in all its forms. They are also, however, imaginative and empathetic types who wish to bring progress and harmony to the world, even while they have a special affinity with the less tangible spiritual and artistic concerns that arouse strong emotional responses in them. Their intellectual independence and compulsion to explore the world of emotions and senses cause those born on this day to place a far greater value on nonmaterialistic achievements than on those that offer rewards of wealth and status. The hard-nosed realm of commerce is therefore anathema to them, and they will generally flourish only when they can satisfy their natural inclinations and inspire others in the process, as artists, writers, designers or actors, for example, or even as athletes.
Others are drawn to these magnetic people for the aura that they exude, and they in turn are not only stimulated by personal interaction, but manifest a con- cern for the happiness of those with whom they come into contact. Yet ironically their relationships with their nearest and dearest may not be of the smoothest, for despite their love for those closest to them, their innate nonconformity and urge to further their per- sonal progress by means of individual experience pre- cludes their capacity to sacrifice their independence to the altar of familial harmony. Their romantic idealism may furthermore set an impossibly high standard for their partners.
