In numerology the day gives birthday number 11. The Life Path also uses the birth year. Scorpio is fixed and water. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Sun sign | Scorpio in every year from 1930 to 2030 | | Decan | Scorpio decan 1 (Pluto) | | Sun's position at noon UTC | About 5° Scorpio | | Scorpio · element · modality · ruler | Water · Fixed · Pluto | | Birthday number | 29 → 11 | | Life Path by birth year | 1960: 1 · 1970: 2 · 1980: 3 · 1990: 4 · 2000: 5 · 2010: 6 · 2020: 7 | | Chinese zodiac | After Lunar New Year, so the animal is the birth year's own | | Born on this day | Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (1938), Abdullah Gül (1950), Winona Ryder (1971) | ## October 29 zodiac sign and personality What does intuition look like when it is doubled? The 29th of October suggests an answer. Its birthday number is the master number 11, linked with insight and sensitivity, and the Sun at five degrees of Scorpio sits in Pluto's decan, where perception runs deep. The blend tends to describe someone who senses hidden motives easily and uses that perception carefully. On October 29 the Sun usually sits at about 5° Scorpio, in the first decan, where Pluto rules the decan as well as the sign. Pluto rules Scorpio in modern astrology and also governs its first decan, so late October and the first days of November hold the sign in concentrated form. This decan is traditionally associated with intensity, privacy and a capacity to go deep into whatever it touches, whether a relationship, a mystery or a personal reinvention. Trust tends to be slow and, once given, complete. Doubled Pluto can bring a strong will and a reluctance to show vulnerability. Natives often find their power in honest transformation: releasing what no longer fits rather than guarding it out of habit. ## October 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 October 29 birthday to the next: it is 1 for 1960, 2 for 1970, 3 for 1980 and 4 for 1990, for example. ## Born on October 29: season, famous birthdays and Chinese zodiac October birthdays fall in mid-autumn north of the equator, with turning leaves and earlier evenings, and in mid-spring in the southern hemisphere. Libra holds most of the month, with Scorpio arriving around October 23. In numerology October is month 10, which reduces to 1: a number of new starts and independence, carried here with a 0 that is often read as amplifying it. October 29 is the 302nd day of the year (303rd in a leap year). By November 23, 25 days later, the Sun has usually moved on into Sagittarius. For the Chinese zodiac, Lunar New Year has always passed by October 29, so the animal is simply the one for the birth year. Well-known people born on October 29 include Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (1938), Abdullah Gül (1950) and Winona Ryder (1971). ## Frequently asked questions ### What zodiac sign is October 29?
