Six degrees into Leo, under the Sun's own decan, that inspiration tends to want an audience: teaching, performing, creative direction. Traditional readings describe a charismatic visionary whose enthusiasm is contagious, and who does well to rest between bursts of brilliance. On July 29 the Sun usually sits at about 6° Leo, in the first decan, where Sun rules the decan as well as the sign. With the Sun ruling both the sign and its first decan, late-July birthdays sit in the most radiant part of Leo. This is traditionally the decan of presence: warmth, self-expression and a natural pull towards the centre of the stage or the head of the table. Generosity and loyalty are often strong, and so is a need to be appreciated for the effort behind the performance. The doubled solar tone can tip into wounded pride when recognition is withheld. These Lions usually shine brightest when their light is used to warm a whole group rather than only to illuminate themselves. ## July 29 in numerology Born on the 29th, your compound is 2 + 9 = 11, and because 11 is a master number it is kept as 11 rather than reduced to 2. The 2 brings sensitivity, the 9 brings compassion and breadth, and together they create one of the most intuitive birthday numbers. People born on the 29th are often described as emotionally perceptive, idealistic and capable of inspiring others. Their feelings can run high, with marked highs and lows. As a secondary number, the 29 tends to reward creative and caring outlets for that intensity, and rest between them. The Life Path, the main number in a numerology chart, also uses the birth year, so it changes from one July 29 birthday to the next: it is 7 for 1960, 8 for 1970, 9 for 1980 and 1 for 1990, for example. Some birth years on this date reach the master numbers 11 and 22. ## Born on July 29: season, famous birthdays and Chinese zodiac July birthdays land in high summer north of the equator, with long warm evenings, and in midwinter in the southern hemisphere. Cancer holds the first three weeks, with Leo arriving around July 22 or 23. In numerology July is month 7, the number of reflection, analysis and inner life, which tends to give these birthdays a thoughtful, private layer beneath the summer brightness. July 29 is the 210th day of the year (211st in a leap year). By August 23, 25 days later, the Sun has usually moved on into Virgo. For the Chinese zodiac, Lunar New Year has always passed by July 29, so the animal is simply the one for the birth year. Well-known people born on July 29 include Dag Hammarskjöld (1905), Fernando Alonso (1981) and Alexis de Tocqueville (1805). ## Frequently asked questions ### What zodiac sign is July 29?
