Report

Those born on September 29 fight an ongoing battle to maintain stability in their lives. At times they can feel that they are masters of the universe and at other moments not worthwhile at all. Such swings in their mood and self-image are most often due to an underlying lack of self-confidence. Many born on this day gravitate toward family situations where they can find stability for a period of time, but eventually move on, sometimes to a more isolated existence. September 29 people are generally highly attractive and capable. Yet wherever they go, whatever they do, uncertainty and instability swirl around them. (They may, for example, have great difficulty staying with either the right career or partner for long.) Often they are like the eye of a hurricane, which although itself is calm, is surrounded by violence and turmoil. Though September 29 people can appear dispassionate to the world, they nonetheless arouse strong reactions in others, both good and bad. They must beware of accidents and antagonism which can come their way. In order to get a handle on this danger, September 29 people must sooner or later face the fact that it may be their own repressed emotions which call forth such disturbances. Thus self-understanding is an important commodity for them to cultivate as early in life as possible. When September 29 people commit wholeheartedly to an organization, company or family situation, they can be invaluable to the success of the group’s endeavors. They have a talent for managing, which not only means structuring and coordinating activities but also handling finances in a prudent and farsighted fashion. Those born on this day, however, can oscillate between very intense and very relaxed behavior. They may also appear to be quiet and unassuming when all the while their crying need is to come out and reveal their talents and personality to the world in a truly extroverted fashion. In fact, unlocking their energies at a deep level can make for a splendid personal dynamism and rewarding financial endeavors if only this energy can be well directed. September 29 people often manifest a technical interest in how things work. Usually their practical abilities are very high, yet they seem to have difficulty getting it together to start or complete a project. This is due to both their need to make extensive plans before beginning anything in the former case and their intense perfectionism, which ties them up in the execution of small details, in the latter. Others often wonder in amazement at how such naturally gifted and highly capable individuals manage to get sidetracked from their true goals and allow success to elude them. If, however, the unusual people born on this day can take the reigns of their career firmly in hand, without foundering or getting sidetracked, they are indeed capable of extraordinary achievements.

Numbers

Those born on the 29th of the month are ruled by the number 2 (2+9=11, 1+1=2), and by the Moon. Since number 2 people often make good co-workers and partners, rather than leaders, more introverted September 29 people may find their way by embodying the ideals of their family or work group. However, the urge to bond with others may also act as a brake on individual initiative and action, producing frustration. This may be further enhanced by the Moon having strongly reflective and passive tendencies. The secondary number 11 (2+9=11) gives emphasis to the physical plane (complementing the sensuous tendencies of the Venus-ruled sign of Libra).

Archetype

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 those of us who heed her with that knowledge. Favorable qualities of this card are silence, intuition, reserve and discretion; negative values are secretiveness, mistrust, indifference and inertia.

Health

Accidents of all types are an ever-present danger for September 29 people until they begin a process of self-introspection and self-knowledge. They must learn to be more trusting and to open up emotionally at a deep level. Not uncommonly, those born on this day manifest strange food habits. Their diets are often extreme, and based on either certain strong tastes or ideas they have about what is good for the human body. They would benefit from eating a more balanced diet of simple vegetables, grains, fruits, dairy products and fish and eschewing any kind of extreme menu. Usually fond of physical exercise, dancing and sex, they will not have to be reminded to keep active.

Advice

Sit down and figure yourself out (even if it takes years). Put your considerable talents to good use. Gain self-confidence. Organize your life but retain your spontaneity. Tear down internal barriers and obstructions.
